Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

EDIT: I could also do some English writing, as it's also an enjoyable experience for me. I'm interested in mostly tech-related things. If you want me to write, let me know, and of course you would pay after you decide you like what I've written.

I'm lulzplzkthx, a web developer who has too much time on his hands.

I'm either selling work with PHP and MySQL (my best languages), and some AJAX and JS sexiness (primarily using jQuery, but I can use another framework if you'd like.)

Whatever I'm developing it would be very cool if it supported Bitcoin, or at least related to Bitcoin in some way...

Now, the "or" in my topic title is: Or you can give me an idea, and if I like it, I'll spend some time developing it, and either release it as a web application, or open source it.

For examples, you can check out my Bitcoin address "shortener" (http://whoami.darchoods.net/s/), my LGPL'd Bitcoin lottery script (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6106.0), or my other projects located on my webpage (http://whoami.darchoods.net/). (For example, my PHP IRC bot is "neat": ZuzuBot (http://whoami.darchoods.net/projects/ZuzuBot), even though it isn't really a good use of PHP, heh.)

Post here, or send me a private message (warning: I might not notice PMs right away,) or find me in IRC as "lulzplzkthx".

A generic bitcoin order form would be nice :)

IE someone goes to the site, inputs what they want bought as a proxy sale, a link to where to buy it, and how much it is including shipping. The site spits a bitcoin address back at them and checks for a certain # of confirmations, once confirmed and at the right value, an email is sent to the buyer and the site owner/seller.

The backend of the site could have some info dumps for the owner, such as total btc in, total expended, customizable exchange rates and such.

I'm a little confused as to exactly what this does. Would the buyer or the seller create the Bitcoin address?

Is this an escrow service like ClearCoin (http://www.clearcoin.com/) or a Merchant gateway like MyBitcoin (http://www.mybitcoin.com/).

would you be interested in creating elgg plugins?

The seller would create the address for the buyer to pay for the proxy purchase item based on the price the buyer puts in. So it would be a simplified order form for people who are willing to proxy sell things.

Oh! I understand! So this would be for proxy buying between Bitcoins and USD, or other fiat currencies?

Would the site owner proxy buy it, or would other users on the site?

Seems simple enough, and like a fun project. Do you want this open-sourced or just as a project that's usable (or both)?

Possibly. What kind of plugins? I have no experience with Elgg, but would be willing to check it out.

Whatever you like, though I am a fan of open source projects, so hosting the code somewhere for other people to use would be great.

If it's done well, I'll tip well too - so don't hold back ;)

And I was thinking the site owner (this is specifically for a small webpage I want hosted), but if there was a good way to do it where anyone could proxy buy that would be pretty sweet.

Perhaps I'll provide both ways. :)

I'm starting this project now.

Possibly. What kind of plugins? I have no experience with Elgg, but would be willing to check it out.

Heh, I might take a look at it when I finish with the other project.

I would have 15 btc but noooooooooooooo your a better writer :P

Haha, it was a nice little job. (Thanks cuddlefish & Ubitex.)

I don't mean to bump my own thread for no reason, but I wanted to say that I've got a repository started on GitHub (https://github.com/johnmaguire2013/bitcoin-proxy-market/). It will be experiencing a large amount of activity, much of it superfluous at the moment, and it is nowhere near functioning, but thought you might want to know.

I've updated the main thread.
