Title: CoinHub - for business, that accepts bitcoins (shop plugin, safe wallet, trades)
Post by: EskimoBob on April 11, 2012, 03:31:31 PM
I posted it to completely wrong forum as a reply to a post abut some wallet service. :)

This in not a wallet service. This is a full service from plugins for your FOS shopping cart, trades at the current market place and keeping your wallet safe and out of the harms way.

Idea is simple. Most merchants  do not want to deal with all the bull shit involved with *coin wallets, running *coind etc.
They probably have no wish to set up coin-fiat trading accounts etc to convert payments to fiat (sorry, but fiat rules the world at the moment, no matter how exited and sweaty some of the enthusiasts get over *coin.) If you have a wholesale partner, who uses *coin, good for you -  no need to fatten the exchanges.

For them, LTC, BTC etc are not the new currencies but new (and hopefully cheaper) methods of transferring funds from clients for goods sold.
So, to make adapting *coin as painless as possible, I like to build a "hub" with a good robust API for shopping cart plugins.
We also need a integrated secure wallet service.

This is simplified sketch of the service I am talking about.
FOS shopping cart A... = plugin for most common online shop software like OS Commerce etc

So, who is going to help me build The Coin Hub and help all those "mom and pop" shops around the world to start using the *coin?
They are getting sodomised by VISA, MC etc and the friendly local banks.

With electrum servers you could write plugins that do not require a daemon to be ran on most cms.
