Friends, I’m planning to contribute to Bitcoin infrastructure but developing Silk Road like e-commerce platform that would help tribal artisans to sell their art works to have global direct exposure. Bitcoin has boosted globalization by removing hurdle of banking. With Bitcoin they’d be able artwork on global scale without complication. Details are provided in thread (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434849.msg4776478#msg4776478). But, I’m no developer like you are. I know nothing about programming and coding. Being determined to bring some social impact, I’ve done lot of study to understand internet technology and working. I;m seeking help from global Bitcoin community for development of this project. Below is the execution process according to me:
1.
Identifying purpose of website:• To provide platform for tribal people to sell art works
• To give their tribal art exposure on global scale
• To minimize people advantage taken by people(broker, importer, exporter, art galleries) due to gap
2.
Development of website:• Book domain name and web space
• Development of website
• Going in live mode to receive orders
3.
Exporting ordered products:• Liquidating 90% Bitcoin receive (I’ve kept 10% as my margin there in order to buy ordered products. I need to liquidate 90% of Bitcoin + Shipping cost received in Bitcoin. We already have website capable of providing liquidity within 2 working days, I still want to make sure. I always have liquidity therefore people from India interested in buying Bitcoin are welcomed
• Packaging order and exporting
Problems encountered:
1.
Website development: I’ve had talk with various local developers but none of them is capable in integrating Bitcoin payment because they know nothing about Bitcoin. Is there is someone who is willing here to do this for me is welcomed. I’ll be paying them in Bitcoin received from tip for execution in project. Voluntary developers are most welcomed.
2. I’ve done some basic study and have come up with solution to buy template for online stores. What I want to know is--are those template ready to live after payment button integration?
3. I think, if I buy template from website, I need to code their back end in order to update products and information and that requires coding and programming. I’ve seen some e-commerce website exclusively accepting already live. Is it possible that I receive those websites, so that I can modify and host them?
4. How is payment received in Bitcoin? Bitpay is no good for receiving money in INR. I’ve made paper wallet and payment can be received in Bitcoin by modifying ‘Payment Button’ so that I can receive Bitcoin as mode of payment.
5. There are various hosting websites available providing Cpanel. Being from non-technical guy- is it possible for me to host and maintain website on my own or it needs some technical expert. If it requires, then once website is complete, I can tell local website developer to host/maintain website for me.
What are other unknown problems that I might encounter during project execution? I humbly request you to give me guidance and possible help. Look forward to help from Bitcoin community.
P.S. : I’ve also made a tread
