Yes, they bring sales. Though, they are very sporadic for us. One day we will have a lot, then a few days of none. But it is easy to set up and you can be up and running today if you want.
We've also noticed a
huge increase in piracy since we started accepting them.
One way to look at it is that these are sales you would not have otherwise had. The other way to look at it is, you don't have any chance of a rebill and now we are spending more time dealing with piracy than before, so we're not sure if the long run will be worth it for us or not. The jury is still out. Ask me again in 3 months.
Another problem is a delay with the btc posting in your account from some users, usually Coinbase to Bitpay, so sometimes a customer has to wait for a while before they can get access. And some of these guys are smart enough to grasp Bitcoin but too dumb to enter their email address on the form so we have no way to send them their username/password or contact them at all. Growing pains for the system, but it is time consuming nonetheless.
