Title: MegaCoin - Bitcoin superstore
Post by: MegaCoin.co on October 08, 2012, 04:08:11 AM
Hello fellow Bitcoiners,

Today I am very proud to announce an online Bitcoin superstore, after months of preparation and work it is now ready to go live. MegaCoin.co is an online store for all your computer hardware related needs and only accepts/supports Bitcoin!

I created this store because of a big lack of stores just accepting Bitcoin. So if you have a few spare Bitcoins check us out!

  • Shipping worldwide
  • Shopping cart
  • Using bit-pay payment module

We look forward to your support and feedback! All Items are shipped from a warehouse in Australia, where we are based.

There are a few modifications that will be taking place in the next few months such as
* HTTPS support
* More customised user dashboard
* Site banners changed

Moved them to PC now. Thanks for picking that up, I'm sure there are other category issues as well!

Feedback good or bad is always greatly appreciated

I've only spot checked, but the complete descriptions seem missing.

A nice thing would be for the "Sort By" to not reset itself on each page.

I'll take up the description issues with the team that imported the data from our suppliers provided product list, I noticed this earlier on but only thought it was a few products.  :-\

The "Sort by" should be an easy fix just need to make sure it is setting the sort value in the cookie.

Thanks you again

Oh, I just noticed you are AUS. The shipping cost and time will probably keep me from ordering directly, but the site looks good and I'll keep it in mind to refer people to. Any chance of shipping the same stuff from US in the future?

Shipping costs are in dollars on the shipping info page btw, I imagine you'd want to convert the same way you do the prices. How do you do them btw? They don't seem to have adjusted in the last 15 minutes of craziness.

We are looking at using other suppliers from different parts of the world but cannot find any decent suppliers willing to allow another site to re-sell there items.

Oops didn't notice the shipping cost was not converted! I'll get on this straight away.

The prices on the site are entered into the back-end as AUD and then we use a PHP script that is called form a cron-job to update the currency, I think it was set to update ever hour but I might have to make it every 15 mins. It just uses the data available here http://bitcoincharts.com/t/weighted_prices.json (http://bitcoincharts.com/t/weighted_prices.json)

Thanks

* Tables

:O Tables!

(you might want to fix that  :P )

But if you really have tables, that'd be cool too.

Sorry Mushroomized we don't stock any tables  :P (maybe in the future). We do however stock tablets...

Hi TradeFortress,

I'm also in Australia and started MegaCoin with the idea of shipping from AUS but have discovered two things.

1. If your shipping from Australia then your whole customer base will most likley need to be Australian.

2. The Bitcoin market in Australia is still developing and is not as mature as the US. Maybe in the future I can offer products from both markets but at the moment I have been "forced" to focus on the most profitable one.


I'll certainly lurk around the site a bit! It looks nice :)

Keep lurking!! New products will be up VERY soon, just finishing off the paper work with the new supplier and getting products imported..

Thanks again everyone for your support and input, this will help us grow.

I can sell to anyone in the world but shipping times are important and to go USA = AUS is slow, so Australian market will not respond to slow shipping.
