Users will be able to utilize BitStone (BST) to purchase and sell luxury items from a network of merchants who accept (BST) as a secure form of payment. I'm assuming brick and mortar stores would be involved? Which location(s) you have in mind? If anyone would like to personally take a look at the gems or verify we are legit, they are welcome to visit. What city/state are you based at? I am in the Nashville TN Area and have spoken to a few Jewelry Stores that are interested in accepting BST once it is released and stabilizes. They do have a web presence and the plan is to have 1-2 accepting BST before Christmas. Anyone is welcome to view the Art/Gems we have and will have on the webstore with an Appointment - We will not be selling jewelry, only loose stones and art and hope to fill the gap of jewelry with a third party store. Our address, LLC documents etc will be available on the website.

Yes, give me a day or two and I will pull out some of the certified stones and upload pics of the certifications.
I have a variety of certified and uncertified stones. All of the big stones are certified, and all of the uncertified stones will have the option of us getting certified before shipping them out. We will have several options available on the certification from EGL, GIA and GIA Graduate Appraisals. Each one has its benefits, obviously GIA is the gold standard but EGL is respectable and has a much quicker turn around. The GIA Graduate appraisal is done from a local appraiser and is less expensive and the fastest turn around. We are aiming to make it as safe as possible and bend over backwards to make sure the customers of the gems are content with their purchases. Lastly, each stone has a list price and those are dictated by the market, but we will be priced below current market/list price.
Thanks

Obviously when the BST are released and mined, there will be some apprehension about making large purchases from the BitStone Store. We have considered this in the planning of BitStone and have incorporated steps to alleviate some of the concern. First, we are doing the Give Aways etc to establish some trust and proof of ownership. Those items will be received prior to the release of BitStone. Secondly, we have no problem using escrow services on purchases. We would request that the escrow person chosen by the buyer be a respected member of the community and that those fees be paid by the buyer. We are wanting to establish BitStone as the Premium Crypto Currency, and will take all steps necessary to ensure our reputation and reliability. I think we have already shown we are serious about listening to peoples ideas as shown with the concern about the Private ICO, yet regardless of what we do I am sure the haters and FUD will continue. I think that once things get rolling we will set a new standard in Altcoins, where features and functionality of a coin will need to be in place instead of empty promises and deceit upon release. Secondly, I think the days of "Mystery Dev's" are limited and the days of Dev's without accountability are limited as well. We have a large number of people involved in BitStone development and our attention to detail will show in our coin release, the testing we have done with the blockchain and wallets , the detail in the Website and WhitePaper and every other facet of BitStone. Thanks...

It's about time someone releases something worth investing in, I will definitely be getting in on the first round of the ICO. You guys have been more transparent than 99% of developers and have offered to meet in person and now offering to accept escrow. Nice
Doc and Dev Team- f@$& the Fudders, it's apparent that a couple of them are developers and are scared you are onto something. Heaven forbid bst succeeds and then the standards are raised for those assholes.
Doc-- what's the lowest you would take for the big ass diamond - I can't afford it but I can dream 😁

Only accepting BST for it, so I cannot tell you until BST is released. I hope you find something that appeals to you in the BST store.

Thanks... The more I see you guys holding your stance with your objectives, the more and more I begin to like you guys. I think this is going to be huge, and people are going to be hesitant until the first giveways are finalized. There is too much on the table for me to not believe you guys are real with what you guys say you are doing. I will be investing without a doubt, I want some diamonds. Good luck guys, and dont let us down.

D color diamond looks good. Guessing from the price, I would hope the clarity is a VS2 or better. Maybe an SI1 since the cut is excellent. (And cut is more important than clarity anyway.)

I love that you are obviously knowledgable about gems, yes it is an Excellent Cut and I will post the specifics on it in the next day or two-- most of the larger stuff I have or am acquiring is excellent cut - I have the opportunity to supply just about any stone someone desires and special orders will be accepted as well. And I agree, Cut is more important.

Good luck guys, and dont let us down. I agree, when people start posting pics and comments after receiving the Give Aways I think it will help tremendously. We are taking extra steps to ensure that what we are offering is exactly what is stated. Example, the Ungraded gems we have were taken to a gemologist yesterday and we went through and I got an unofficial grade on each - receipt attached below - I want to be 100% certain that the Ungraded Gems are what is stated on the webstore - that way if someone does not wish to have it graded or needs it ASAP for a gift, they are getting exactly what we say it is.
