Hey creators, We've added a forum for buying and selling ownership rights to your resources: https://builtbybit.com/forums/resource-rights/ The practice has been becoming more common over the past couple of months and benefits everyone: Existing authors because you can easily earn a large lump-sum when you don't wanna maintain your products anymore New authors because they can buy an already existing and successful product to have as new relatively passive income Existing buyers because they can continue receiving support and updates for products they purchased rather than it becoming...

Hey all, Today we’re releasing some long-awaited improvements to our resources marketplace along with significant changes to our moderation of different products and services. Resource marketplace improvements We have a very huge and exciting update coming to BuiltByBit resources in a few months, but before those changes can be made, there have been a number of improvements required to make a solid foundation for us to build on. Sale events Providing discounts can be an effective tool to increase resource revenue. Today we are releasing a new, easier-to-use system for authors to...

Today marks our platform’s 8th birthday and we’re excited to announce that MC-Market is now BuiltByBit. The word “bit” is, of course, a nod to the digital assets we’re a marketplace for, while alluding to the common expression “bit by bit”. We believe that incremental and circular growth embodies the nature of our platform as well as the businesses our community nurtures: Anyone can start their own business. Whether you’re a creator, gamer, developer, artist, freelancer, or entrepreneur, all it takes is the initiative to start and the patience to build it, bit by bit. All of our...

Hi folks, On Monday the 1st of August 2022, the site's 8th birthday, MC-Market will be rebranding! This undertaking includes a change to our primary domain and requires maintenance, which will begin at 9 PM EST and is expected to take between 30 to 45 minutes of downtime to complete. All advertisers will be compensated for lost time, and we will provide regular updates throughout the downtime in our Discord server. A countdown to this event can be found here: https://itsalmo.st/rebrand-time-kokv Thank you.

Hi everyone, We've got some great changes for our current advertisers today, and especially for users who are considering advertising on MC-Market! Ads manager improvements Our ads manager system is unlike any other ad platform; it’s uniquely tailored toward the needs of our advertisers and has been a significant area of discussion since its introduction earlier this year. Overall the new system has been a success, and we’re now making it even better. Smart bidding Previously the amount you bid would be what you are charged if you’re in a leading position in daily auctions. We have...

Hello hello everyone, It’s been a little while since our migration— time flies fast! Despite the lack of announcements, we’ve made plenty of changes since the start of the year and are excited about the future. Official Discord & huge $6,000 giveaways Creating a Discord server has always been something requested by the community, and in fact, is the most suggested feature request we’ve ever had! For the past several months we’ve been testing the waters with a server for our Ultimate users, and it has been a big success. We’re now expanding the server beyond just Ultimates to all...

Hey everyone! Many of you are probably pretty annoyed right now at having to update your account credentials and enable 2FA. That’s completely understandable. So we wanted to take a minute to explain what’s going on and why it needed to happen. Up until now, 2FA has been optional. Nobody likes having to navigate to their emails or find their phone in order to log into a website they frequently access, and we’ve always wanted to make using MCM a painless process. However, unfortunately, not everyone can be trusted to use a strong and unique password for their MC-Market account, and in a...

Hi everyone! MC-Market is now on XenForo 2! We are incredibly proud and excited to announce all of the changes that you’ll notice across our platform. Introduction XenForo 1 has reached its end of life and is no longer supported by the developers, even for security fixes. Therefore, us upgrading to XenForo 2 has been inevitable. Despite both versions having the same functionality, XenForo 2 was redeveloped from scratch and has made all of our custom additions and theme incompatible. We've had to completely remake MC-Market, and as many of you know this has been a huge undertaking. This...

Hi folks, Merry Christmas! It's nearly time! After over a year of development, we're now ready to announce that our XenForo 2 migration project will be commencing on the 1st of January 2022. On January 1st at 8 AM EST, we will take MC-Market down for our migration to begin. We will be switching software and our server infrastructure to completely new systems. This will be the largest planned downtime in MC-Market's history, and we're anticipating that it should take between 24 and 36 hours if no issues arise. During the period, we will display a status page outlining our progress which...

Howdy howdy! MC-Market Credits are finally here! And with that comes a sale, giveaway, and more.

Hello hello! After many months we’re very happy to be releasing a new announcement with some small and large changes.

We’ve partnered with a platform called FastSpring which now allows us to ensure compliance with local tax laws and to offer a larger variety of payment gateways for Account Upgrades.
