Hey bitcointalk.org members!
I need your help, I'm looking for co-founders for a business idea to make an LSP.
I've been thinking about the Bitcoin project/movement and the long-term benefits of Bitcoin. I am sold that taking on the payment card industry giants like visa and mastercard is definitely a powerful motivator in that it can bring obvious huge savings for regular everyday transactions.
I am convinced that lightning has the capacity to achieve this goal, even though not everybody is convinced lightning will be a success yet. The pot is simmering with activity at the moment, businesses are popping up here and there that are accepting lightning, but I want to help the cause by bringing this activity to a boil, so that we see businesses popping up left right and centre. Hyperbitcoinization is the goal.
The company would be profitable by charging a fixed fee for businesses to accept lightning in their brick-and-mortar store, and hopefully, this fixed fee will undercut the payment card giants. So monetization is obvious and built right into the business model.
Unfortunately, I hate sales, and a key component of this business would be "pushing"/selling the whole concept of Bitcoin to local businesses.
I am a software developer and bring some technical skills to the team, but I am not a business person, HR specialist, finance guru, or marketing genius. Sincerely, I need your help.
Marketing in particular might be tricky since a lot of people see Bitcoin as a risky investment, or some even as a scam. Selling this product will be hard work, take years, and for all team members involved, there is potentially little or no reward. To be motivated, you have to see the bigger picture and share the optimism I have that there will be success for the movement as a whole. One day, this product will sell itself. Today is not that day.
The first steps and key players I will need in the beginning are somebody who can organise investment, and somebody who can organise sales; but if you can contribute in other ways please don't hesitate to reach out. Investment doesn't have to be immediate. It can be contingent on things like having a certain number of customers signed up or other requirements. Mostly, we need this to motivate a sales team.
The incentive for getting involved in our business early on will be shares in the company. If Bitcoin is going to be a huge success, I see no reason why a business enabling businesses to use a payment network that undercuts visa and mastercard shouldn't also be a huge success.
If you can help, please reach out.
Let's bring value to the world together.
Thanks for your time
Jack

At the moment only clothes are on the site, but I'm happy to add anything else.
I was thinking about items that are ordered from Aliexpress via Nakamoto.market. The BITCOINTALK discount only applies to t-shirts. |
|
|
|
With the BITCOINTALK discount it is the same cost as aliexpress + shipping + $2.5
Is that working only for purchasing clothes or for anything else that is listed on Aliexpress? At the moment only clothes are on the site, but I'm happy to add anything else. The code will work with every item on the store. |
|
|
|
Should we contact you on website with email or some other way, and what are the prices compared to Aliexpress?
You can contact support@nakamoto.market or just post in the forums here. With the BITCOINTALK discount it is the same cost as aliexpress + shipping + $2.5 I did check again, entering random data and Pay with BTCPAY logo showed up, so it's working ok.
Thank you for checking that. |

Is this your website or you are affiliated with them?
Yeah, that's me. I've updated the post. Problem is that I don't see any option to pay with Bitcoin, only paypal, cards, google & apple pay are available in checkout page.
I also don't see information from what country is everything shipped.
Shipping is from China. I've added that to the welcome message now, thanks. I'm really surprised you don't see the option in the checkout page. Here's what I can see:  I had a problem earlier where people viewing in their local currency couldn't see the option to pay with Bitcoin, but I thought I fixed that by disabling non-USD viewing on the site. I've disabled other forms of payment, now this is all I see:  Can you please check the website again? I would really appreciate it if you can help me solve this issue! PS I sure won't buy those binance branded stuff  Lol I've removed the Binance items from the site. |

Design
Unlike most people, I don't mind the simple design of the site. But there should at least be some information on how to contact anyone if something goes wrong.
Thanks, I've added "contact" page to the feature request list, will have to think about the design where to put the link, maybe in a footer. Fryx
What does the name stand for?
Nothing, it's just a name. After placing an order, the balance in my account disappears, which means that the balance is already in the order. The question is, if my order isn't executed by someone, then it will be there forever @jackmurray? I want my 100 $BTC  . Oops, sorry, I forgot to add cancelation of orders. I've added that to the orders page now. Due to the relatively long deposit time (especially $XMR), email notifications about successful deposits are likely to be very helpful for users who made deposits via $XMR.
Ah good idea! I've added email notifications for deposits to the feature request list. Conclusion
There's no difficulty understanding all the processes that occur on this platform, but the problem is the lack of basic information such as "How many confirmations are needed for a deposit to come in", "Minimum withdrawals" and other basic information. Therefore, it would be better to add "About" or "FAQ" page to explain the small details on the platform.
Thanks, I've added "FAQ" page to the feature requests list. |

Please indicate minimum deposit amount and the fees on the exchange page so that user will be aware on this before they will send any amount on the deposit address.
Thanks, I've added minimum deposit and fee message on the exchange page. I will update this once I received my Monero to my Wallet. It's taking too much time is this normal?
Hmmm... the transaction was sent, and at the moment it has 40 confirmations. Is your wallet refreshing? |

This doesn't work: it shows nothing now when I click "Calculate approximate value" on 0.01 Monero. For 0.1 Monero, it works.
Thanks. Fixed the bug, it should display 0 now. |

Thanks, I've added support for rendering negative numbers. I would expect the estimate to show up as "0" in this case. 4. n4r52rar5ij6ot3u4pjmj5smp2vtdqk235gij55z2qgicuyo4q3llcyd.onion Are you aware of vanity address generators? I'm not vouching for this software, so DYOR, but it looks much better if your onion address starts with Fryx (or longer).
At first, the site worked yesterday, but just when I decided to buy some Monero without reading anything else, I got this after clicking "Buy Monero": Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application. I still get the same error. - I've updated the value estimator to show 0 when there is negative value due to the withdrawal fee. - I've updated the .onion address to be fryx6ycshmwxrfu65qbzdrp3ex44zq2hvroykc4quhwzzbu2bvum5uid.onion - I've fixed the bug causing Internal Server Error (it was due to a duplicate address and not handling the error correctly). Can you please try again? edit: I've removed the need for withdrawal address to be unique entirely. |

Bug: SNIP
I guess this is caused by the Bitcoin withdrawal fee, which is higher than the total amount in this case.
Thanks, I've added support for rendering negative numbers. Fryx Finance review1. The first impression the website offered me was that it looks too simplistic. It's simply plain text, white (and orange) text on black, with no animation, nothing fancy, nothing to entertain the users. The UI needs to be nicer. Maybe adding also a light theme would be a good idea. 2. The site is so simplistic that it doesn't even have a Home button. There are also some sections which are missing but they are common sense for any other website. Among others, there are no "Contact", "Terms & Conditions", "Privacy", "Disclaimer" sections. Social media links are not a must, but many websites add them as well. 3. The website is localized only in English. 4. The website works fine with Tor, which represents a plus. However, I did not see any .onion address for it. 5. There is also no "About" section. Practically, there is no information about who runs the site, nor about how to contact the developers, in case a customer needs their support. 6. The site says If we can't fulfil your entire order, we will refund the amount that was not exchanged. I don't know if this actually works. Some tests should be done here, but I don't know if anybody has such big amounts to exchange (and also such big guts). 7. There is also a typo in the above sentence, as the term "fulfil" should be written as "fulfill". 8. At "API" section there are multiple words written with underlined font which makes the user believe they are hyperlinks. However, they are not. 9. Still at the "API" section, at the bottom of the page there are two more sections listed - Assets and Markets. However, their positioning inside the page is not aesthetic at all:  Perhaps they should be rearranged somehow or placed in another location as, right now, their arrangement does not look well at all, compared with the nice table which is just above them. 10. The "Login" page contains only a field for "login"... but none for entering a password (assuming the email is the user name). How does this login work? By simply inserting the email used for registration and that's all, no password required? If so, then if a user knows the registration email of another user, he will be able to login using second user's email, simply by typing it inside "Login" field? 11. Still at "Login" page, I see that there is no option to delete the account. Practically, once a user creates an account on this website, his account will remain there forever? (This also implies that developers will always keep user's email in their database?) I will end here this feedback, but I will come back in case I will find any other bug on the website or in case I'll have more suggestions. I hope this helps. Thanks for your feedback. 1. Added light theme to feature requests. 2. Added missing sections to feature requests. 3. Added other localisations to feature requests. 4. n4r52rar5ij6ot3u4pjmj5smp2vtdqk235gij55z2qgicuyo4q3llcyd.onion 7. "fulfil" is British spelling. Changed to US spelling. 8. Changed <u> tags to <em> tags so they don't look like links. 10. Log in sends an email to the user, and they click a link to log in. 11. Added deleting account to feature requests. |

The OP says 0% fees here you say 0.2%: https://fryx.finance/api is that just for the API? If it's open source where is the source? No link on the site. Have not had my coffee yet so have not looked deeply for a link. - I added a 0.2% fee for trades (updated the original post) - Source is at https://github.com/jackmurray90/fryx |

Personally, I think it looks better in black than when everything is in white. Still, maybe you should have a dark/light switch on the site. Your newest update requires people to only use the dark mode, and I don't see a button to change to the light version for those who prefer that.
I have also noticed the Register tab now. I don't think it was there before. What advantages are there for users who sign up to Fryx Finance? What's the difference between a registered and non-registered trade?
Noted, I'll add the option to select dark or light theme sometime in the future. If you register an account, you can set limit orders on the order book, and withdraw after making several trades. Without registering an account it does just one market order and then withdrawal. The account is for more advanced traders, whereas not using account is for those who just want a single quick and convenient trade. |

That's too bad. I thought all you'd need was more players. Will you keep it on Github? I'm copying the link here just in case someone wants to fork it later. For the record: would that be allowed? Yes, it's open-source and public domain. I'll keep it on GitHub if anybody wants to fork in in the future. |

I'm not sure the site would be a success, even if I did create dark mode, etc.
The game is too risky and the trust required is too high.
So it looks like it's time to end this project.
I will wait for the existing auctions to end and then take the site offline.
Thank you everybody for your feedback.

Seems better now when I can see the maximum amount I can exchange. The current liquidity is 4.7 XMR. I assume this number gets updated in real time as people remove and add liquidity to XMR and BTC, right?
One thing I noticed is that the exchange requires 6 on-chain confirmations for Bitcoin. This might be too much. I know that many exchanges have similar standards, but there really is no reason that people who conduct small trades of $50 or $100 have to wait that long for the 6th confirmation. If you are unlucky, this might take 2 hours or so. Maybe you can take this number down to 2 or 3.
Try to add a dark mode. It's more pleasant to look at.
Yes, this number is updated as people remove and add liquidity. I've changed the number of confirmations down to 5 blocks. I've added dark mode. Thanks for your feedback. |

After someone bid 1 sat more than my bid, it gave me the chance to see if I can raise my existing bet by depositing 0.00000666 BTC again from the same address. I am the culprit LOL. According to the game rules a fraction more means all previous depositor lost it. Interestingly bitcoin does not have a decimal of of 1 sat 😂 quick one! If I bid 1BTC and someone else bids 1.3BTC, and I submit another counter 1BTC from the same address, will my bid become 2BTC? are bids accumulated. Why isn't the administrator replying to this comment? This is a horrible thing. Do you guys need a botz ?  Hey, sorry for the late replies, I've been super busy with another project and I didn't realize the reviews had started. The bids aren't accumulated. OP hasn't responded yet. For the record: I don't need the refund, but if it's a bug, it should be fixed. And if this should work the way it did, it should be clearer in the Rules.
Ah yep, this was unclear in the rules. Bids don't accumulate. It just takes the maximum bid that you sent. Was this bid not added to the auction prize total? |

Thanks everybody for checking out the site. On your website you say that in the event that you can't fulfil entire order, you will refund for amount that was not exchanged and send coins back.
How exactly can customers know how much Bitcoin and Monero you have on your balance in advance?
I don't want to pay extra fees and risk of sending coins if there is not enough liquidity in Fryx Finance.
I've added functionality to determine the approximate exchange rate before the trade is made. Right now the exchange has 0.095 BTC in liquidity from my own funds. dkbit98 is right. Once the site is up and running, transparent information about the liquidity and the individual coin balances should be shown at all times. That way users won't even have to try to swap more than the site can handle. The website was registered 3 days ago and the exchange service doesn't work yet. I tried entering some random addresses from the internet and blockchain explorers and I am getting internal server errors when clicking on buy or sell.
Sorry about that, was still in active development. I did a lot of work on the site today and it should be ready, check it out! |
