Looking for a bitcoind dev/security expert to rework our wallet: https://bitcoinauctions.net/

Currently users 'top up' their account balance and can spend that balance, I'm looking for someone who can change the system so it operates how CryptoThrift is setup, users make a payment for each item individually.
This is safer for us and the users because only a small amount of bitcoins are stored in our wallet at any given time. We have an escrow system that will also need to be reworked/configured

Setup is with two Ubuntu servers. Server 1 runs Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Server 2 runs the bitcoin daemon.

Security is crucial, we don't want this happening to us:

I attempted to purchase the .com before it went up for auction, but the owner never replied to me. I didn't imagine it would sell for more than a few hundred, really surprised me it sold for almost 2k. I'm still considering possibly purchasing it but I don't think its worth what it sold for.

I'm not sure that somebody else would want to launch another auction site anyways, there's already several:

https://bitcoinauctions.net/
https://cryptothrift.com/
http://www.bitbid.net/
http://bidinbitcoins.com/
https://www.cryptoauction.com/

But the only one that's currently really functioning is CryptoThrift

We'll have other sources of revenue also: featured listings, additional images, link sharing, advertising

What do you think of the UI?

Just trying to get several different opinions 

Thank you! I feel that after we get the new UI up and running the website will have an even better appearance


That's my plan, long-term growth  I plan on developing apps for Android and iOS in the future, also I need to compete with CryptoThrift

Bitcoin Auctions

Not certain about selling yet, I'm mostly curious what the community thinks my website is worth. It's the same concept as eBay but everything is done with bitcoins. My total investment into this project is around 57 BTC, I've been working on it about 18 months now, development isn't going as quickly as I'd like, I have another job and I'm also a college student. I pay programmers in India, Russia, and Pakistan to assist me with development. The domain bitcoinauctions.com recently sold on Flippa for $1700 USD

The site has almost every feature that eBay does

Buy it now
Reserve prices
Escrow system
Multiple item listings
Make an offer

We also have developed a fully working administrative panel where the fee can be adjusted, items can be deleted, and escrow can be returned or released

Admin panel demo:

We've never really officially launched the website or started an advertising campaign yet, before the site launches we're implementing a new UI, in the process of slicing PSDs currently, here is a preview:

Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm going to be relaunching an auction website similar to CryptoThrift in the near future. I've been told by several people I wasn't getting any new registrations because of a poor looking UI, so I recently had some new mockups done and was wondering if I could get some opinions on it

Old UI for reference: https://bitcoinauctions.net/auctions/detail/nexus-4-16gb-black

edit:

For those curious, this is how our fee structure differs from eBay/CryptoThrift http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2014/09/02/fees.png

It's for the keyword "bitcoin auctions"

We're on page 4 currently
https://www.google.com/webhp#q=bitcoin+auctions&start=30

It's closed source so I don't think many people would crowdfund that 
I really like your website also! btw


He said he could rank us number one on Google in two months for 1 BTC. I'm paying for results (using escrow)

Additional info:

The website is written in CakePHP/MySQL

For a partnership, I'd be willing to split the profits 50|50 if someone could help my website take off. I also need some serious marketing done right now. For the keyword "bitcoin auctions" I'm only ranked at 169 on Google while CryptoThrift still holds the number one place. I need someone excellent with security I don't want to get hacked like bitmit. Even cryptothrift got hacked just this past Sunday and had 15 BTC stolen

I'm looking for a bitcoin expert to help me with my website (promoting it, fixing up code etc. ) I'm attempting to start an auction website to compete with CryptoThrift by offering far lower fees. I've spent about 30 BTC on this project so far, mainly paying programmers to code for me. (my coding skills are very limited, but attempting to learn) I've hired someone to do SEO work but the number of visitors I'm getting is still very low

Here's a couple of videos showing how it works:

Please PM me if interested and what skills you have or reply here and maybe we can work out a partnership

I was excited when cryptothrift launched after Bitmit closed down, but since then I’ve become very disappointed when they decided raise their fees from 1.5% to 3.5%
Today I’m launching my own auction website that uses bitcoins.
https://bitcoinauctions.net/



A short list of FAQ’s:

What fees do you charge?
We charge a 1% fee to sellers, for example if you sell an item for 100 mBTC you receive 99 mBTC and we take 1 mBTC. Buyers pay no fees. Escrow is free.
Our fees are 3.5 times less than cryptothrift and 10 times less than eBay:



Who owns Bitcoin Auctions?
http://about.me/sanderspoel/

Where are you based out of / hosted?
We’re based out of Michigan. Our servers are in Chicago, Illinois.

What are some of the differences between cryptothrift and Bitcoin Auctions?

We only use Bitcoin for our transactions, while cryptothrift used to accept 7 different types of coins until April 15. We don’t believe any other alternative coins will ever see the level of success Bitcoin has had, and won’t be implementing them.
Our prices are denominated in millibitcoin (mBTC), we don’t like having messy decimals everywhere. This helps to make our site cleaner and easier to understand.
Bitcoin Auctions’ escrow service is free for everyone and automatically used for every transaction. We don’t feel you should have to pay 1% on top of your purchase just to prevent getting scammed.

Are you a registered business?
Yes.
