cryptothrift.com (https://cryptothrift.com) | a Bitcoin and Litecoin Marketplace and Auction House with Automated Escrow

After the unfortunate circumstances which resulted in the announcement of Bitmit closure, we've been experiencing a much higher demand, traffic, new users registrations and a big amount of ads being posted continuously..

We'd like to thanks all of you, buyers, sellers, viewers and sponsors for putting your faith in us and trusting us with your listings. We'd like to thank those who have been on our side from day one and gave us the momentum and adrenaline we needed to keep going, sent us their feedback and recommendations, and pointed us in the right direction when we were doing it wrong. We'd also like to thank all the new users for giving our site and services a try, for the trust you're putting in us and the project, Thanks you!

We also like to say thanks to cryptocoinsnews.com, the best place to find all the latest news about crypto. They've been of a great support from day one.

There are few point which we'd like to shed some light on to reduce confusion and let you enjoy a better user experience on the site.

    

• cryptothrift.com (https://cryptothrift.com) is a no fee listing site, no sale no fees.
• We're running a promotional offer on all sold items before the end of 2013. Only a transaction fee of 0.001 BTC or 0.1 LTC is being charged across the site.
• We charge 1% escrow fees to sellers when escrow is used.
• We support digital downloads. In step 2 of posting an item you can upload your digital downloads for an instant delivery upon reception of the coins. Please let the viewers know when your listing is digital so they can dowload it.
• We do not store your coins. Although all payments have to go through us for our confirmation system to do its job, funds are released the moment the payment clears. In case of Escrow, we store funds in a cold wallet, a cron job sends any coins to our cold wallet every 1 minute. When an item is marked as received, funds get released to the sellers automatically.
• Buyers, please make sure you mark items as "Received" when you're satisfied with the reception of the item to avoid any delays in releasing funds to sellers.
• Buyers and sellers can exchange details through our private messaging system.
• We have few ad spots now available, please contact us if you have a project which you need to get out there
• Follow us on twitter (https://twitter.com/cryptothrift), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Cryptothrift) and Google+ (https://plus.google.com/106081655293792585750/posts) to know when items get posted instantly!

Again, thank you all for your support, please keep your criticism and feedback coming, the journey has just started and we're only going to get better.

Looks really cool man! love that you support litecoin

Thanks :)

We've added support to XPM and FTC, will be writing a post about this in few hours. A ton of features and big fixes too ;)

Looks cool I posted an item just wish there were more users hopefully they will come since bitmit is going down. I am not sure but do you guys support digital delivery so essentially if I sell a amazon gift card I can input it into a message which will autosend to the buyer once payment is confirmed?

I'm glad you like the site :), thanks for giving it a try.

We currently have 800+ daily visitors with more than 70% new, so we're hoping with the community's support we'll be seeing more and more traffic on the site.

Yes, we do support digital downloads; on the 2nd page of posting an item, we have an upload button where you can upload a .pdf file for example containing the gift card code. Auction winner/buyer will get instant access to the file the moment their payment clears.

We also support other file types like (zip; rar; psd; doc; docs; xls; xlsx). You can still edit your current listing and upload the files required :)

See you around!

Hi, I recently sold one of my items here. Someone made an offer and I accepted it, buyer has paid through Escrow and now I need to ship. Now, is there anything I should be worried about? I really hope the escrow service is trustworthy, because it's a lot of money and I hope there won't be any scams involved, Ohterwise I'm screwed. I hope Cryptothrift proves legit  :-\

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Forgive me.
CryptoTHRIFT...

It'd be wise to get yourself in the WoT (http://bitcoin-otc.com/), btw.

Hi, just wondering how your escrow went? Hope all good? :)

I'm still waiting thanks for checking, I'll update when transaction is finished  :)

Sure no worries! Please let us know how things go or if you encounter any issues

I sure hope CryptoThrift attains the glory of the former Bitmit. That site was quite useful.

I suggest you add a current bitcoin price at the top of every page, so a visitor can see what price the site is using at the current moment. If I recall, Bitmit used the average price.

Thanks for the kind wishes. We are also using bitcoinaverage for our API and will be adding this to our top header very soon :)

Finally I'm happy to say that so far Cryptothrift has proven to be one of the best sites I've found so far to sell stuff online mostly because it has good traffic. I posted an item last friday and it sold on the same day, the buyer received package yesterday, today he released the funds and they were in my wallet almost intermediately.  :D Cryptothrift is awesome!

I would like to reiterate the fact Started using cryptothrift after the bitmit announcement. Moved all my items quickly, have had a few sales only one canceled order. Coins came in quickly and I absolutely love multiple crypto currencies. I'm happy so far, plus they host the files themselves. Just need some more advertising to get the word out. FYI I found bitmit on bitvisitor, most starting users just want a little to start and find a place to spend it easy.

Duetschpire, one thing I would suggest is to increase the font size on all the page it's kinda small, specially the main logo. I just think it'd be a good idea that's all  :-\

I'm so glad that you like the site.

Font size is one of the things we'll be working on when we finish our CSS redesigning, a lot of design changes will be taking place.

Advertising is one on the very main things we'll be focusing on as well, we're already in talk with few bitcoin businesses over advertising, it's just a matter of getting (as we say in crypto) "the best bang for our buck" ;)

If anyone has recommendations for ad spots, please feel free to send them across

This site is a excellent bitmit alternative. It's good that feathercoin and litecoin are getting some love, too.  :D

Thanks!

New look and feel for the new Year... Check cryptothrift.com (https://cryptothrift.com)

Cool site, just sold an Oculus Rift there ;)
Deal is not completed just yet, as shipping will take its time, but I hope for the best.

Maybe a suggestion: When the deal is done via escrow service, after the escrow has received the funds, share the escrow address, so the seller can confirm the amount that is held in escrow, or at least show the amount (in crypto-currency, be it btc, ltc, ftc or xpm). Currently the items are shown as "sold" but the btc value behind the trade fluctuates as the currency exchange rate does, so its not really helpful.

Let us know how it works out.  I'm thinking about giving it a go.

I am not sure why this thread does not have more to it. I love cryptothrift and I use it a ton. I hope more people start to use.

BEWARE THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS!! I have 2 coins tied up in the escrow fiascal they have going on. BEWARE!

Hey.
Not sure if you still support this topic, but I try it  ;)


Do you plan to add some other currencies like EUR to converte to BTC?
Maybe it would make the site more interesting for european users.

It's a 2 man show, and they lock money in escrow for weeks due to insane or scam buyers.

One of the guys is sulky, the other I'm not sure.

But they have day jobs so we should cut them some slack and  get ripped off to accommodate that.

Still it's something just not everything.

It's like Pirate Bay you win some you lose some. But Pirate bay is free.

Sorry to hear you're having issues on the site. If there's anything we can help you with please contact us via our support portal and we'll make sure any issues are resolved ASAP.

I like the site so far except for the vendor quickzen(https://cryptothrift.com/user/quickzen) attempted to force me to deal out of escrow and then left me a negative feedback claiming I am a scammer(clearly not). It actually seems pretty common for these guys to do that. Is it okay for a vendor to force a new account to not use escrow? I am sure it is not okay to berate/belittle them via pm and use the feedback system as a payback system
