Although I don't post often (except saying hi), I tend to follow pretty closely with all the different awesome projects everyones working on!
I've been thinking about working on a bit of a side project and I wanted honest feedback.
I've had a lot of issues with LB and haven't really seen any improvements coming and it's quite frustrating. So I decided I want to work on my own.
Problems:
a) Transaction fees: (I'd expect 1% from a credit card company)! So for 4BTC on this partially functional platform (separate issue) I have to pay a $35 fee (which has also caused countless errors).
b) Messaging: It's frustrating that the only way any contact can be made is if a transaction is in progress. This is by far one of the more frustrating issues.
c) Minimum to display ad: You must have at least 1 BTC in your account to display an ad. That's a lot of Bitcoin for the new guys!
d) The Funding System: I'm forced to re-use same wallet address for all transactions (I know a lot of people are upset about this as well)
e) Downtime: Whenever I actually need to use the escrow service, it's down.
f) Market price formula: I hate being forced to lock a price in far ahead of the actual transaction.
Along with these "problems" I just think the site is poorly strung together. I'm not usually one to pick at designs, but for newer people getting involved, I think their UI needs some serious modifications.
Finally, I've been seeing a lot of people post about having altcoins. Although unrelated, It'd be cool to see more!
Thoughts? You can be as brutal as you want.
! Just recently got back into it, was never really involved in the community. Just got back from the conference in San Jose which intrigued me to get more involved. Anyways, just saying hi!
