could it be that, the people that watched the Bitcoin on FOX news, are buying up all the bitcoins? if so, is 3$ an inflated value, or is it just the being...?    |

Good grief, this stuff again? Sorry folks, it's not going to happen. You'll be lucky to get anything for your bitcoins 5 years from now.
well if it would happen.. most likely all the worlds money wouldn't be bitcoin only, there would a a couple forks and you have to take into account the worlds money is ever growing. and its growing exponentially. 700,000,000,000,000 is not the right number 700,000,000,000,000,000 is more like it |

this is it! this is how my dream started! bitcoin is going to go above and beyond 30$ in the next 3 weeks! |

...but until then, you can buy them cheap before they get in. And if you buy now you can get in cheap before everyone else trying to buy cheap before they get started. By the time Thursday rolls around and nobody new is actually buying in, the price will be $3 and you can sell it all.

From my perspective, your site looks cluttered. The information to text ratio is low. You should draw visitors' attention to the most appealing things you have to offer. One option is to create a rebate program and make that the focus. In addition, perhaps remove some uninteresting content. For example, consider removing: 1) defunct sites 2) sites with no reviews 3) sites with reviews written by you. Finally, perhaps upgrade the website aesthetics.
dearly noted. i will be working on the look once finish improving the review system |

I think you should turn the thebitcoinreview website into a rebate/review website. The website would only list reviews for BTC businesses participating in its rebate program.
1) Businesses sign up on the website and promise to give customers say a 10% or 20% rebate off their bitcoin purchases whenever they spend at least 100 BTC total in a calender month. Only expenditures at website-affiliated business would count. [maybe you could ask for a 1% rebate for yourself as well]
2) When customers make a purchase, they write a review describing: a) what they bought b) when they bought it c) how much it cost d) how satisfied they are with the purchase. Reviews are necessary to get rebate credit for the purchase.
3) The business confirms details for (a), (b), and (c).
4) When a customer's spending reaches 100 BTC within a calender month, the site sends instructions to all business to issue a rebate to the customer (a bunch of BTC micro-payments).
5) Business send back evidence that they issued the rebate to the site. If the businesses fails to issue the rebate, then they get booted off the website.
Note that the website never handles BTC directly, so that it doesn't require trust.
i like this idea it promotes writing reviews, and sites that offer rebates would get many reviews & customers. but i see no reason to only list sites that offer rebates for reviews. sites that offer rebate could be a sub list, and clearly shown with a icon like.  |

Another thought is that you could have volunteer 'secret shoppers' actively testing things like response time and such.
cool idea Getting a key from the site sounds pretty bad. It still lets the site shill and depending on the service it would still be easy to get keys and post bad reviews. Not to mention be a burden for many sites.
right only if i can figure out an easy way for the site to add this feature. and more impotent make it impossible for the site owner to take advantage. Not an easy thing to do, but not impossible. |

thebitcoinreview.com is a site which hopes to become the best place to easily find bitcoin businesses and the products they offer.
If you have other suggestions please post below thank you!

Email validation before reviews go live should also help.
Ofcourse emails are like IP's, a dime a dozen, but it's one more loop.
Thanks! ya i thinking about that, all the ideas i came come-up with just make the user jump though hops to get the review online... I wanted it to be Super easy to write a review, this is why i based it on ip so the user wouldn't even have to login. I'm now toying with the idea of requiring a btc address & amount paid, as a proof of payment... needless to say this idea has problems aswell. and / or the more reviews they post the higher their reputation, the more impact their rating will have on the listings score. |

i don't not fully understand the public/private key cryptography... so my question may seem Stupid but here goes
would it be possible to determine if 2 btc addresses came from the same wallet?

the question has come up. Why should i trust any of the reviews posted on thebitcoinreview.com? right now all i can say is anyone can write a review for any listing, but only one review per listing (based on their ip), this means someone would have to change his ip to write many reviews for the same listing.... thus making the reviews somewhat reliable. this isn't good enough. anyone have better ideas on how i can establish trusted reviewsnote this site is meant to be used by non-tech people, and so making a review should be painless and require no tech. skills |

I beg you Adam to look into a web-of-trust model, perhaps you should spend the weekend playing with PGP/GPG. Most likely your reviewers and thus their reviews are meaningless unless the pathways of trust can be demonstrated. Why shouldn't every merchant create numerous accounts and review themselves positively? What prevents competitors from reviewing negatively. Are larger merchants more trust worthy than small? Who are these people and why should we care?
very interesting ! ill be looking into it... right now all i can say is, only one review is allowed per listing (based on ip). For a competitor to do allot of damage he would have to change his ip for every review for that listing.. my site is aimed at non-tech people. and so i don't want to have them need to understand techno-bable to write a review. but i would like to be able to establish trusted reviews. |

Which ones to avoid
- e-Wallet services ! (we'll talk about Mybitcoin)
There is no reason to "avoid all ewallet services." Instawallet has been amazing, reliable, and innovative. BTCinch.com is also really good, and I know the guys who run it personally - they will not be scamming anyone. Flexcoin has also been around quite a while without problems. With ewallets, people just need to be careful and understand that they're trusting a 3rd party. For small amounts, the ease of ewallets generally outweighs the security concerns. For large amounts, ewallets are probably not prudent. Mybitcoin was amazing, reliable, and innovative. but they got hacked. why is Instawallet or BTCinch any different? StrongCoin seems very safe. here's the thing.... if you hack StongCoin you get everyone's bits! not a half bad incentive to hack away StrongCoin only stores your private keys in encrypted form. They never even see the unencrypted keys. if some points a gun to the owner of StrongCoin and says, "give me all the bits Bitch!"... the owner wont be able to give your coins for his life? |
