Wow, such idea.  Very Bitcoin.  Wow.

I see your 1 DOGE and raise you 1 DOGE!

Been thinking it would be awesome to be a part of online retailer adoption of bitcoin. I have been quite involved in the magento community for several years and have been thinking of ways to outreach to merchants on magento to adopt it.

Also agree that incentives to end customers could be a critical part of the equation. 1% rebates for bitcoin usage as well as creative promotional elements within the checkout experience could be interesting to experiment with.

There are some downsides to accepting bitcoin for merchants. Any additional element added to the checkout has the potential to increase friction in the checkout and reduce sales. Especially for online retailers that have less tech savvy customers. That said this would be a great opportunity for a/b testing.

If anyone is interested in collaborating on this type of thing let me know.

Hi there.  I'm very new to the btc community, so apologies in advance if this is a horrible question/post. 

I'm interested in blockchain applications such as software licensing.

I'm a PHP developer and run a SaaS app in the eCommerce space (a Magento extension).  I'm particularly interested in ways that blockchain software licensing might be used in order to help with extension fraud which is pretty rampant in the Magento community.

I'm still in the process of trying to wrap my head around what the best approach to this would be.  One idea I had would be for extension vendors to be able to verify extensions that are are in use on a given online store (based on it's URL), without the website having to publicly expose that data (which would be a security disclosure in many cases).

So, for example, when the extension vendor sells the extension to the store owner, it includes a publicly accessible token, probably in a text file.  Something like: onlinestore.com/extension-list.pub.  That would contain a public key of some sort or some chunk of data, which only the extension vendor could "unlock" with their private key.

This would of course not prevent store owners from copying the source code and using it illegitimately, but it would be a way for legitimate customers to publicly whitelist themselves and prove that they are legitimately using all of the extensions they've purchased.

There could also be a hall of shame website showing all of the store owners that were not validated by extension vendors.

Look forward to your feedback - thanks!
