The new and improved Bitcoin Harbor is almost here!  New features will include:

• Categories for easy browsing - weirdly it seems lot of you don't like to surf through a bunch of pages  to find things to buy.
• Inventory - no more need to repost everytime your item is bought.
• Customizable Store Fronts - Upload a logo and provide information on your store for your customers.
• One Click Post Renewal - renew your post before it expires.  No downtime!
• Shipping Address Validation - no more mistakes in entering addresses.
• Instant Payment for using certain shipping methods with tracking numbers (these are shipping methods where we can confirm you've shipped your item to the correct address instantly).
• SSL is now available.
• RSS Feed.

Let us know if you have any other great ideas on how we can make Bitcoin Harbor better!  I know there's been a lot of concern recently with other Bitcoin related businesses shutting down or leaving gaping security holes, but let me assure you, we're not going anywhere and we take security very seriously.     

Not familiar with Bitcoin Harbor?  Just think of half.com or Amazon marketplace for Bitcoins. Why not stop by http://bitcoinharbor.com and pick up some awesome stuff while Bitcoins are cheap?   

By popular demand, we have added SSL - https://bitcoinharbor.com

Note that your browser might complain a little - Google's adsense doesn't support ssl, so the ads themselves are not encrypted :-/. This doesn't create any security holes, but browsers may have something to say about it. We are considering dropping ads in the next revision, thus solving the "problem".

In the meanwhile, the site is securely browseable. Enjoy, and happy Bitcoining!

Wow, it's been a great week since Bitcoin Harbor launched.  We've gotten an amazing amount of community support and it looks like we're going to have to roll out categories and a few other improvements sooner than we thought.  

Since we're working on some improvements at the moment, now is a great time for your suggestions.  If there is anything we can do to improve our service, the feel of our site or anything else, we'd love to hear it.  Comments, complaints, suggestions, curses, all are welcome.

Thanks again for being such an awesome community!

[We are looking for anyone who has some items they'd like to have up on our site for sale before we launch next week. If you're interested, please send us a PM.]

We are launching a new Bitcoin marketplace called Bitcoin Harbor next Tuesday.  This is a site where users can buy and sell their goods or services for Bitcoins.

We are looking for anyone who has some items they'd like to have up on our site for sale before we launch next week.  If you're interested, please send us a PM.

Because we are not an auction site, Sellers will have greater freedom to modify their posts to reflect the current price of Bitcoins until they are purchased.  We also offer Buyers peace of mind by holding their payment until the Seller has confirmed shipping with us.  In addition our feedback system will allow users to decide who they'd prefer to do business with.

Check us out at www.bitcoinharbor.com

Edit: We are still accepting Sellers if anyone is interested.  We are launching Tuesday.  Send me a PM or an email to admin@bitcoinharbor.com and we'll get you set up.
