The website I'm working on is at TheFutureWasYesterday.org the explanation and motivation for this is explained in the linked post above.

What household items would you most likely purchase for Bitcoin over the net?

All feedback appreciated!

The idea for the site began after I purchased an item from overstock.com After making a purchase, a coinbase page came up with a payment address. I transferred money from an exchange to the address. The exchange took longer than 8 minutes, and the receiving address changed. The money was refunded to a coinbase account which I would need to sign up at coin base.com and agree to their terms of use to claim the refund.

It hit me that Overatock didn't accept Bitcoin. I'm not sending Bitcoin to Overstock, I'm sending Bitcoin to coinbase and they in turn pay Overstock.

The very first statement in the original Bitcoin paper is "Commerce on the internet has come to rely on third parties" (paraphrasing).

P2P, so the web store at TheFutureWasYesterday.org is my effort to offer small household needs directly for Bitcoin. The site is still being developed and right now there is only one T-shirt and tea light candles, but am looking for feedback from the community

What types of household products would you buy with Bitcoin?
