Bitpay no longer available

[EpicNPC]

It seems our bitcoin processor Bitpay has decided to close our account as of today, again without any warning.

We are working on a new bitcoin payment system and it should be ready in a few days. We're using a different type of system this time, direct to wallet payments, so no 3rd parties and no special protocols. Bitpay used a special protocol that not all bitcoin wallets supported, so this time we'll be able to accept bitcoin payments from all wallets.

Hopefully we'll have it ready by the end of this week.

We're still working on other options. Credit cards payments are ready, but we wanted to add additional security features, so that's causing the delay. It should be ready sometime this week. Apply Pay and Google Pay are in progress. No ETA on those, could be a few weeks.

Bitpay was trash anyway, I'm glad you're getting rid of it. Direct wallet payments are a much better option.

Do you know when the direct to wallet payment will be set up? Also will it be able to accept bitcash? since bitcoin has that 8$ or so processing fee.
At the moment i only see an option for amazon pay and 'other' payments which are for other countries and not international. I'm running low on my credits

Yes, BCH will be accepted. Most likely it will be back on Monday along with credit card payments.
