Pay with Bitcoin
Hello everyone, first I'd like to thank the Rifftrax team for providing my wife and I countless hours of laugh out loud comedy. I won't openly admit that I viewed many Rifftrax from 'non-official' sources, but I will admit that the 1 BTC donation (~$230) I sent a couple days ago has settled my conscience.
I couldn't be more excited to watch Sharknado (currently downloading as I type this). When I purchased Sharknado just now, I hoped to pay via Bitcoin but it appears that you only accept bitcoin donations rather than accepting bitcoin as payment.
I'm not complaining in any way, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm a single party that would prefer to pay with bitcoin (maybe there are others like me, or maybe more will be coming soon). I suspect that you already know how to use a service like Bitpay or Coinbase to accept BTC as payment and receive USD payments, but if you ever needed some guidance don't hesitate to contact me. I've studied BTC for 4 years and I'd love to help facilitate acceptance of bitcoin as point of sale if or when you all are ready for it.
Please don't ever stop making movies fun!

We’re working on it! As a digital company, we’re working on accepting digital payment. We have bitcoin available on our www.RIffTrax.com/donate page, but it’s been a bit involved integrating with our shopping cart, but we’re getting closer.

If you think about using KuCoin — be careful and don’t treat it as a “safe and stable” exchange: over the past couple of years it’s been hit by serious regulatory and security problems — including legal charges for unlicensed money‑transmitting and anti‑money‑laundering violations, which make its long‑term reliability questionable. Its security record is mixed: while KuCoin has taken steps (wallet audits, withdrawals protections, KYC overhaul), the fact it previously suffered a major hack and had to pay heavy fines means there are real risks tied to legacy issues. Also many users complain about support delays, long or confusing verification procedures, difficulties withdrawing funds or recouping lost assets, and even claims of sudden account restrictions or unexpected liquidations. If you still use KuCoin — treat it as high‑risk speculation: only keep small amounts there, and if you hold anything significant https://trading.biz/crypto-brokers/kucoin-review , consider moving it to a safer wallet or regulated platform.
