Trees Delivery is a new luxury cannabis delivery company in California. Trees is looking for affiliate experts who can help to promote the service which recently soft launched.



  • Trees customers order 150$ - 300$ at at time, so 20% commission even from one order is 30-60$. This goes much higher for high value customers.
  • The founders have background in Bitcoin industry, so affiliate payments are in Bitcoin. Trees naturally accepts Bitcoin on the website.

Hi,

Has anyone actually got to sell anything from here?

I just did major facelift for the site. Here are some information (also available in the blog

After operating half a year Liberty Music Store has reached the one hundred albums milestone. Currently there are 3-5 purchases per week, so it is not exactly money making machine for anybody yet. However at least there now exists  a way for Bitcoin enthusiastics to buy good music!

Recent changes

I have been working with block.io team to make Bitcoin payments as fluent as possible. After resolving some issues here and there finally I can trust the infrastructure and artists get paid in 24 hours after somebody has purchased any music.

The site has now separate buy section where one can browse music by a genre.

News letter and blog are available to follow the development of things.

Next steps

Feature-wise the site will probably receive "pay what you want" option, as many people have been requesting this. But please note that I am working on this for fun, on my free time, so I cannot really promise any hard deadlines when things go out. You are still free to poke me by email any day Smiley

People also have been asking to be able to upload images for each song. This will probably follow soon.

6  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 12 BTC stolen 1 hour Ago.Session Hijacked?How is that possible? on: October 14, 2014, 10:30:17 PM
How is that possible?
I use Tor over block chain and as i logged into my wallet a few hours later all my BTC's were hijacked.
I use for only to be secure and never thought it might be a problem.
Is there an explanation for this ? I never downloaded anything! so its impossible its a virus.
Any one has any ideas how it  can happen ?
I seen it happened to a few people already.

There are malicious Tor exit nodes targeting Bitcoin services. They will do man-in-the-middle HTTPS attack against your Bitcoin website. This is only successful if you accept the invalid security certificates of the website. The web browser gives a big red warning "DON'T GO TO THIS SITE THE CERTIFICATE DOESN'T MATCH". If the user clicks yes and then the secure connection is compromised and the Tor exit node can steal your Bitcoins.

You can read more about the attacks against the Tor users here.

Thus, Tor should not be recommended for the users who are not technically-sawy enough to avoid risks like this.

Other potential risks and compromises and how to protect yourself against them

 Cool

8  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin priced in real goods on: August 28, 2014, 11:13:14 AM
Short answer: When it makes any sense.

Long answer: When Bitcoin price is stable enough so that consumers can understand and cope with its value long term. E.g. 5-10 years time range. It doesn't work if you need to recheck value every day.
9  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitstamp: No withdrawals for Bitcoin related companies on: August 22, 2014, 11:31:28 AM

Talking to Bitstamp is like talking to a brick wall...in their opinion Raiffeisen Banka is their bank and Raiffeisen Bank international is an intermediary; therefore we have to pay all the costs of this botched transfer and can seemly no longer withdraw funds (because of this intermediary that is supposedly totally unrelated to Bitstamp or their bank)

Wasn't Bitstamp in process to change their banking partner? Did they already switch to some German bank?
10  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Liberty Music Store - Sell songs on your homepage, receive BTC on: August 15, 2014, 08:56:00 AM

Posted a big update on Liberty Music Store last night.

  • The site has now theme designed by a professional. This makes it one of the rare Bitcoin sites which does not look like dog poop.
  • New artists have signed up. I updated the first message in the thread for the list.
11  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Liberty Music Store - Sell songs on your homepage, receive BTC on: July 28, 2014, 07:30:15 AM

The project got interviewed by CryptoCoinNews.

Also some new artists have joined. Looks like this might become interesting in long term Smiley
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investing without Bank transfer on: July 18, 2014, 06:09:10 PM
So i used to have a coinbase account until i closed it and i closed it due to a fear that if an attack happened on coinbase that they could transfer funds from my bank account. Now i still would like to buy bitcoins but i can't seem to find a decent way to do that without a bank transfer. Should i just trust coinbase with my bank information? Say an unathorized wire happened would i be screwed or would the bank cover me? What is the best way to go about this and what are your experiences?

There are numerious ways: PayPal, MoneyPak, cash, etc.

Buy bitcoins online in United States

Buying bitcoins is 100% safe with escrow like one on LocalBitcoins. Selling Bitcoins is more risky as you accepting bank transfers from unknown parties in internet.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can you only buy with bitcoin? on: July 17, 2014, 09:00:06 AM
Name some things that only bitcoin can/should be used to purchase? I've been looking online at peoples experiences with crypto products on Ebay, and I found a thread where the OP was selling mining gear, and sees a lot of disputes/refund requests after two weeks of the gear being received. Obviously the buyers are just mining and looking to return, and Ebay have told him they will side with buyers in these cases..

So, what other things are best purchased with bitcoin due to it's irreversible nature?

All online downloadable digital goods: music, movies, books, games.

The transaction is small and digital, so there shouldn't be much room for disputes and frauds. Downloads are irreversible, too.

E.g. http://libertymusicstore.net/

http://humblebundle.com/

Disclaimer: I am the author of the Libery Music Store project above

Apparently credit card fraud is quite common in indie / freemium games - causes problems to small indie game developers. Most likely cardster try out to see if the credit card is working or not.
(Though this answer is more like "things that should be used on sell bitcoin only")

14  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoinprices.js - have human-friendly Bitcoin prices on any web page on: July 09, 2014, 09:16:38 AM
quite easy to implement on my site.

Care to share which site?  Smiley
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why can't the Bitcoin development be more like Linux? on: July 08, 2014, 07:29:26 AM
Why can't the Bitcoin development be more like Linux?

Linux has a huge development team. So many people take part in updating it. If you run Linux on your computer, you will know there are always updates. All these updates are created by the open source community. So why can't Bitcoin development be more like Linux?

What are we missing? Or maybe the development team will grow as big as the team of Linux?

Linux developers deal with a shared code, but not shared data (whatever is inside the computers running Linux).

Bitcoin developers deal with shared code and shared data (blockchain). You can modify and extend Bitcoind as much as you want, but other Bitcoind nodes would reject your custom transactions. Thus, room for experimenting development ideas easily is smaller as you are still bound to global Bitcoin protocol rules.

And then altcoins were born.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can ISP block bitcoin network? on: July 07, 2014, 11:16:29 AM
Could it happen like that?

To block bitcoin node traffic the ISPs would need to filter out all traffic doing something called deep packet inspection for all international traffic. As far as I know only China, with its Great Firewall, and some others dictature-led countries are capable of doing it.  I am quite sure India doesn't have this capability. They, most likely, can only blacklist individual IP addresses and domain names.
17  Bitcoin / Project Development / Liberty Music Store - buy and sell music with Bitcoin. Anyone can open a store. on: June 27, 2014, 10:13:41 PM
This is my weekend hacking project.

Liberty Music Store - Sell songs on your homepage, receive Bitcoin

If you know any musicians who are into Bitcoin, Liberty Music Store is the place for them.

I hope to bring the barrier lower for musicians to do indie sales. This should also encourage Bitcoin purchases. The tradional payment methods have hard time to compete in this use case as the purchase process is dead simple with Bitcoin: click song, click the payment link, it opens your wallet and then you accept the purchase. The download stars automatically after this. No sign ups. No hassling with credit card numbers.

The process is simple is simple for the artists too. Upload a ZIP file containing your songs. Name your price. Then you'll receive a HTML code you can put on your site.

The project is 100% transparent, 100% open source, available on Github.

Follow in Twitter

EDIT: artist update

We have already six brave band going into Bitcoin! If you find their music interest please support their work by buying the album.





Tatiana Moroz - Country



YESConnie - rap



The Hollow Circle - Rock



Code Unknown - Metal (Facebook store)



Subatomatica - Electronica (Facebook store)



The Dharma Fire - Phychedelic




I'll throw a Bitcoin party when ten bands have signed up and opened their store. Everybody welcome  Smiley

Peace,
Mikko
18  Bitcoin / Project Development / Drupal + UberCart + BitPay prices with clickable currency conversion on: April 03, 2014, 07:44:08 AM
Hi,

Some updates. bitcoinprices.js now supports pricing your products in USD, EUR and other fiat and then converting those to BTC in-fly. This makes it dead simple to drop to any eCommerce site which wants show prices in Bitcoin or converted to your native currency.

Here is a Drupal + UberCart store Time For Plan B selling Bitcoin stuff: http://timeforplanb.org/store (click Show Prices in BTC). Only Bitcoin payment is available. They use BitPay for the checkouts.

Drupal is a popular PHP-based content management system. UberCart is its eCommerce addon. Now bitcoinprices.js have been adapted for those.

I have also updated README for instructions for UberCart in integration:
