Heyzap Has Started Paying Game Developers In Bitcoin Using Coinbase

Payments on mobile is an exciting use case for bitcoin since micro-transactions (less than $1) don’t work well with credit cards.

Credit cards have a base fee of about $0.30, so for a small purchase (say $1) this can be a 30% transaction fee. This is also why you see so many signs that say “$10 minimum on credit card” etc at various retailers.

Heyzap completed an integration with Coinbase last week to both (1) fund your account in bitcoin and (2) get paid out in bitcoin. We think mobile will be an exciting use case for bitcoin going forward, especially amongst game developers.
