Surprisingly, on the forums I don't see bitcoins mentioned much, but I think it would be a good idea to accept bitcoins so people can buy plexpass with it. For those unfamiliar, bitcoin is a digital currency already accepted by big companies such as Expedia and Dell.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

There are payment providers which make it easy to accept bitcoin. You can even choose to receive dollars from them. The payment process is easy to implement (quite similar to paypal) with a payment provider such as coinbase ( [https://coinbase.com/merchants](https://coinbase.com/merchants) ), though there are probably more.&nbsp; 

&nbsp;

Accepting bitcoin for PlexPass Lifetime would probably be quite easy as this is a one-time payment.

&nbsp;

I have already heard of friends wanting to pay for PlexPass in bitcoin and I have seen this being requested on the forums as well.

That should be really nice!

I had the same idea! But I don't know if the developers are aware of Bitcoin yet..

Just going to throw another vote of support for this - seems like an easy way to accept money. I am sure there's plenty of people that would stump for plexpass if they could pay with bitcoins.

The topic of this request is violating the Plex Terms and Conditions and has therefore not the slightest chance of ever getting implemented.

Therefore, I will close it and thus give back the vote which was made on it.
