Bitcoin Forum

Yeah, I'm a newbie to this board but I've been buying and using bitcoins for a few months now. Bitcoin is an idea that I really like, but for it to take off people need to start actually using them. Nothing new here, everybody knows this.

Part of what I do IRL is design shopping carts. I have good, stable, free hosting and a stock of good domain names to use. So, I'm designing a new site that will only accept BTC for payment.

What would you want to see in the store?

Would it help the bitcoin economy more to be offering less expensive or higher cost items? I'm thinking that cheaper items would generate more 'flow' in the currency, but maybe I'm wrong?

How about Duff beer?

Some German brewery is making it a success

Ammunition.

ALL

I want to buy items off of Amazon.com

I want the bitcoin to be a currency that is more widely accepted as a way to exchange money for goods/services, rather than a vehicle for speculation, which it has become somewhat.

I sell on ebay and I personally loathe Paypal's monopoly, since I've been on the losing end of a few scams. While BTC has some problems to overcome as a way to be a way to purchase goods, I think that this might be a new standard - all the extra parties involved in internet transactions (credit card companies, 3rd party payment processors) allow for many vectors for fraud. BTC spends aren't "chargeback-able" which has positives and negatives, but I think once someone perfects a way to exchange BTC rapidly for fiat and for goods/services then we'll have a pretty good system.

It's already on the list and in stock  ;)

Play time on games at the local arcade!

Or maybe just arcade parts would do. I wonder if Lizardlick would consider accepting bitcoin in the future.

Gardening tools and seeds.

Porn.

Wait! Who said that?

i was thinking video cards, you'd get free attention from anyone and everyone mining, for any of numerous reasons.

but really, who can beat porn.

Most likely illegal things, though I do not condone doing so.

how about things that people could get hold of immediately like downloadable items or game/software keys?

pizza, just to be the second legend, that was so stupid to buy a pizza with bitcoins. :)
and to own the guy who buyed a pizza at 20000btc.

I'd like to buy creative design services -- T-shirt design.  It's impractical to buy something like music until the artist themselves wants to be compensated in BTC.
