Title: Bitcoin bidding site
Post by: DigitalPirateman on September 18, 2014, 07:04:45 AM
Okay well we work with joomla and its extentions

I was thinking to help my site and Bitcoin + mycoin I want to have a bidding site.
It is possible for this with joomla I just need to know is it a good idea

The plan is to have the site like ebay but with three acceptances formats

USD
Bitcoin, + in the future Litecoin and doge.
And Gytecoin (our coin)

I can add on the extentions if I have support on just adding bitcoin and gytecoin. Im not worried about people taking our idea because it going to happen anyways with bitcoin I just think it would be nice to have the three options to start Bitcoin Gytecoin and USD.

My question is if i do this (cause the extention is not free or cheap) would it be a good idea i heard what happen to silk road but with my company name being on the line we will not be that kind of site.

Also if i were to do this would there be any community developer willing to support for a reasonable/cheap price because the extension I found only has USD on it.

What's the point, there are literally hundreds of these sites popping up. If you don't have advertising revenue or a truly unique selling point, don't start this project.

The point is simply to get our altcoin and bitcoin more transactions.

I don't see why so many people use wordpress and Joomla for sites they are not intended to be used for. Joomla is a CMS and should be used for websites that distribute information, not a whole auction website. I would highly suggest you create your own website using PHP and get it rigorously security tested.

Thats kinda like saying bit coin shouldn't be used for paper money when all over ebay and amazon people are selling paper wallets. Not to mention that wasn't the question I asked.

Fyi Joomla has high end PHP security "extensions"  so writing my own would be up to me.

That as maybe but if your asking if its a good idea, by default it prob isn't as you would not need to ask.

I suggest you find something that isnt everywhere and develop that !
