Title: Should I build a market place for members to buy/sell ASICS?
Post by: ricksta on June 12, 2013, 01:35:50 AM
I'm a developer who has been following Bitcoins for quite a while.  I recently made a Bitcoin Trading Game (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230536.0), and I'm thinking of doing another project for the Bitcoin community.

One of the problem I've noticed recently is how chaotic the buying and selling of ASICS had been here on this forum. I'm kind of envisioning some sort of website that will make it super easy to buy and sell ASICs. Do you guys think something like this would be useful? How would you want this marketplace to be?

Yeah I know. I find this marketplace super hard to use and I have a feeling the user experience could be better.

This market sucks for buying ASIC'S. A lot of scammers and dishonest people. They tell you one thing then do another.

Built it, and they will come! And come! And come!

Better yet, built a queue site and call it BitCoinQueue (BCQ, for short). It can be a trading site for queue positions for all future projects that'll incorp a queuing system.

the Queue idea is interesting.

What about something to facilitate group buy? The group buy threads are a huge mess right now.

Now you're thinking

I just did a quick google search to see if theres tools for people to manage group buy. The problem is anything "group buy" related is groupon stuff or groupon clones. I know people have been doing group buying for a long time so there must be an existing solution out there.

This would be great! I'm currently searching for a place to purchase an ASIC but most all companies that sell them have bad rep.  :-\
