[Ending Today]

This is a permanent thread to watch for updates on new deals.

Ending Today 25% off everything at BitDazzle.

BitDazzle is a marketplace, something like Etsy, allowing different vendors to post their products.

The most popular items so far have been from the Apple Mountain store, selling lots of fun diy electronics kits.

ie. A binary clock:



A digital dice:


A pocket electronic circuit development kit:



All of those links will automatically apply the 25% discount in your browser, but the deal ends today, so don't wait.

[on top of already existing Bitcoin deals]

Coin Forest has teamed up with BitDazzle to do a Valentine's Day promotion.



Everything in the store is 25% off for Bitcoin purchases, with no minimum or maximum purchase.

This discount is applied on top of already existing Bitcoin deals.

For example, you can save $160 (37%) on the Canon EOS Rebel T3 Camera Kit. Also great for a big selection of gifts perfect for Valentine's day



Deal lasts until Friday.

Just visit bitdazzle.com/coinforest, and you'll see the discount applied to the store header.

WAS $50. NOW  $33.

I'd like to have a US based reseller ship some USB Block erupters to a friend's US address.

Neither USPS, nor Stamps.com will accept a non-US credit card.  Any alternatives for printing a USPS shipping label. 

This conundrum seems quite ironic to me.

Just go to:  http://coinforest.com/egifter-gift-cards-for-bitcoins


I have unique codes that will allow you to purchase giftcards from eGifter at a discount, (only when you use bitcoin)!

I'm able to do this, because eGifter is eager to acquire more bitcoin customers, and get their feedback on how to improve their service for bitcoiners.

Simple process, you submit your email, I send a code soon after.  Then you're good to go at eGifter.

Hi there,

I posted a few days ago, but realized I needed to provide more information about the job.

https://docs.google.com/a/coinforest.com/document/d/1-noX99VGmP8W8GHcLxMgFA86a_QsmRp_1gVSb5B1BmQ/edit

The description is very lengthy, but it's not a massive project. I'm simply trying to give as full a picture of my needs as possible.


Hoping to find someone that has a decent eye, and potential for long term collabo.
Site is built in PHP, HTML, CSS on Bootstrap 2.3.
Thanks!

http://coinforest.com needs a more general purpose homepage.


Currently it redirects to the currrent deal, which does nothing for the casual visitor, and is very poor at capturing mailing list sign ups.

I'd prefer to use a layout more like indiegogo.com, to feature whatever deal we have on the go at the time, help people to understand the site and incorporate our voting via micropayments feature.

Working with a bitcoiner on this has obvious benefits for me, and there is the chance, if all goes incredibly well, for an ongoing partnership.

Let's talk.

If you haven't yet heard of us, Coin Forest is a group buying site for bitcoiners. We're building a tribe of bitcoiners to combine our buying power and get you discounts.

Today and tomorrow, we're offering 25% off kits for DIY tamper-evident bitcoin paper wallets.  These are the creation of Canton Becker, and his site http://bitcoinpaperwallet.com provides a method for generating your own public/private bitcoin address key pair.

Visit Coin Forest to get your bitcoin paper wallet kits, or sign up to hear about future deals.

[coinforest.com/gandi]

Coin Forest is the first short term group buying site for bitcoiners. If you must have an analogue, the most obvious is groupon for bitcoin.
However, we care about our community and our vendors. Our products are not local like groupon, but focus on that which can either be delivered electronically or shipped.

Our mission is to help grow the bitcoin economy.

Our second deal just launched at coinforest.com/gandi. We're offering .CO domain registration via Gandi.net at 0.17 BTC, which is equivalent to 50.3% off by current bitpay rates of $96.55/BTC.

"I'm not one to tell you how to run your site, of course. It just seems a bit odd to me to peg it to hard currency, when what you are trying to do is promote bitcoins AS hard currency... but hey! It's your deal " - COO at Gandi US

Gandi is an awesome company, and we're excited to have us and our members be bitcoin ambassadors.  

Our opening deal has been discussed extensively, with positive feedback here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1jhnrt/first_bitcoin_group_buy_deal_opens_today_at_coin/

We also followed through on our commitment to donate to the EFF from our first sale, and we'll continue to do so.  

Your feedback is very welcome here. I'm also interested in hearing from vendors with a product geared towards bitcoiners (including ASIC USB resellers). Interested vendors are best to email me at john@coinforest.com.

Text of the article (also posted here: http://blog.coinforest.com/bitcoin-only-business/):

----------------

There’s a new crop of Bitcoin Only businesses sprouting up that are innovating in the currency they accept, and using it to connect to a very focused new customer niche.

This wave of businesses was led by the mining manufacturers and other businesses selling bitcoin specific equipment. This includes btcguild, and of course the group buy organizers on bitcointalk.org.

Now, Bitcoin Only is starting to spread into areas of commerce that aren’t directly related to bitcoin. This includes bitcoinstore.com, coingig.com, bitmit.net and many others.

These companies are taking a stand, and taking a risk, betting their future on a currency that has a small (but constantly growing) merchant ecosystem.  We made this badge for them to place on their sites.

If you only accept bitcoin, feel free to grab this PNG.  If you have an idea for improvement, let me know, and I’ll be happy to send you the SVG file.

If you use this badge on your site, leave a comment here, and I’ll place a link to you in the post. If there’s enough interest, I’ll consider creating a dedicated site for listing these companies.

I want to create a bitcoin only e-commerce store.

We will host flash sales, similar to woot.com. 

I need the following features which are quite similar to groupon or kickstarter.

1. A countdown time, the sale must automatically end and cease accepting payments afterwards. 

2. A counter of units purchased to date. 

3. The sale will only happen after x-number of purchases, so there must be an indicator changing to “This Deal is a Go”

4. I have a BitPay merchant account, and want to accept payment via their services.


Neither of these items are difficult on their own, there are myriad pre-existing solutions for time 1,2 and 3.

However, integrating so that payment via BitPay is quickly reflected in the number of items purchased is difficult.

I would also like to use a pre-existing e-commerce solution, such as ecwid, or woothemes. The less custom work the better.

Design is very important to me.

Can anyone recommend a suite of tools that can solve these problems? Are there any developers who would like to work with me on this?
