Title: Bitcoin Store Engine: please provide feedback
Post by: Fizpok on May 29, 2013, 01:18:16 PM
snowcron.com
A simple Bitcoin Store, that gives your customers Bitcoin address to pay (your address, not ours), and when money arrive, sends "thank you, here is your registration code" e.mail. The idea is to automate digital goods selling process, like software, e.books, dating/resume sites and so on. Think of it as of a pocket PayPal :)

The site have growing "to do" list, but I'd like to have more suggestions from you.

Please test and provide feedback. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Err... You mean all software, ebooks and everything should be free?
I agree, let's tell it Microsoft and Adobe.

No. I just can't remember when was the last time DRM required me to c&p codes instead of just handling access rights transparently for the user.

I remember. It was when I installed Outpost.
And MSVC.
And Photoshop.
And there also were couple of e.books.
And, by the way, what do you think you did in order to be able to use this forum? That's right, you received an e.mail with the link to "activate" your account. This is a registration code, no mater what you call it and no mater that it was free.
Transparent, huh?
Passwords to pay-for-use scientific magazines.
Kindle books.
Music... I don't know, maybe even music.

I buy DRM protected media all day every day. It's my job. I buy and sell information. I spend over 6 million dollars annually on DRM protected scientific and non-scientific information. I have not seen a registration code in years. My clients would stone me.

I didn't scroll that far down. Now I did. I'm not sure if I should feel nostalgic or very very sad.

Could you provide me a link to an example of this media? Or better, could you give me steps the user should do to have this, let's say it is a software, on his computer, ready to be used?
I am not being sarcastic, I think there is something for me to learn here.

Could you please give me an example of a site with a proper footer (with same functionality).

What do you mean? Your footer has links and text in it...so do pretty much all footers. I mean yours gets the job done, and I guess that is all that really matters, it's just not best practice, and looks kinda funny.  ;)

If you want some examples of footers:

Thank you.
I'll do some more research on web design... I mean, damn it, I know the subject, but I definitely lack the ability to make it NICE LOOKING... Working on it :)
