Just to let everyone know. I'm currently developing a Merchant Review Image system. Merchants will be able to embed an image on their website which will show their current overall rating.

Yeah its not a great captcha tbh... might change it. You can register with the site and then you don't have to use the captcha anymore.

Hey. Thanks for leaving the review
However I think you used the submission page slightly wrong. It's my fault because I didn't explain what it was properly . Basically that page is just to submit a website to the system. You then have to actually submit your review.


That is what you put, so if you could go to http://www.bitcoinsreview.com/2011/05/22/alpaca-socks/ and enter the review again, it would be greatly appreciated. I would have done it myself but I don't know what Star Ratings you would have given it.

Haha so you are the reason I couldn't get bitcoinreviews.com! Yeah I think it would be a good idea to work alongside each other, afterall the websites goals are essentially the same. Not sure what we could do apart from specialisation in a particular area though. Hit me up on a PM if you want to chat more.

Thanks mate. Starting to get a few submissions now which is nice. I'll try and spread the word as much as possible but if you could also tell your associates about the site it would be greatfully appreciated... afterall it is benefiticial to the Bitcoin consumer and merchant community that we get this site going.

This website may be of interest to you:
http://www.bitcoinsreview.com/

It kind of does what you are wanting. Basically it will list all places where you can use Bitcoins for goods or services. User-reviews will show you whether the site is legitimate or not. It's still in it's infancy, just need to get a good user base.

There is a forum post here:

Thanks. I realised that there seems to be a real issue with trust when trading with bitcoins therefore there really needs to be a place where consumers can go to check whether a shop or service is legitimate before ordering. And obviously its great for genuine traders too as its essentially free advertising for them... it will reward their good services with more customers.

Also if anyone is interested I'm looking for someone who can help entering the merchant sites with me so users won't have to. Just PM me or reply here if you are interested.

Hi,
I'd like to announce the opening of http://www.bitcoinsreview.com
The site is still, sort of, under construction (in terms of graphics) but it is fully operational.

What is Bitcoins Review?

Bitcoins Review is a website where customers of bitcoin merchant websites can review their experience with the company - similar to a site like tripadvisor.co.uk.
The aim is to allow users who are thinking of purchasing a product to check that businesses previous ratings from past customers.
Ultimately this will expose the bad or scam websites, which have been somewhat of an issue in previous months, and promote the good, genuine ones.
So, not only is this website great for consumers, it is also a great tool to maintain a flow of customer feedback and exposure of a shop or service for merchants to take advantage of.

A mock example of a review can be seen below:



The site is currently in its infancy therefore the list of current merchant websites is very small. However users and merchants themselves can submit a website to the review system. Help entering these websites into the system would be greatly appreciated. Afterall this website will help the consumer community greatly. If you like bitcoinsreview.com then please please please spread the word and send it to your friends. The more people we can get involved in this project the more helpful and powerful the website will become in promoting higher quality merchants.

If you have any questions please view the FAQ on http://www.bitcoinsreview.com or reply to this topic.
We also have a twtter page for announcements: https://twitter.com/#!/BitcoinsReview
