Humble Bundle now accepts the Bitcoin digital currency

May 9, 2013 1:48 PM Jeffrey Grubb. The future is now. We have heads-up displays on our glasses, and we can buy things with virtual spacebucks.

Today, those spacebucks just got a little more real because the Humble Bundle revealed it will accept the Bitcoin digital currency as a payment option for its Double Fine collection. Humble Bundle is an organization that sells packages of games to consumers under a name-your-price model. The group then splits the funds with developers, charities, and nonprofits.

“Buying a bundle using Bitcoins is as easy as using our other payment processors, [like] PayPal, Amazon Payments, and Google Wallet,” Humble Bundle spokesperson Joshua Knoles wrote in a statement. “Simply name your price for a bundle and select ‘Pay with Bitcoin’ when checking out, and you’ll be well on your way to playing some truly double fine Double Fine games.” Read more here: http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/09/humble-bundle-now-accepts-the-bitcoin-digital-currency
