Hello everyone, have a poll here. Last few months been contemplating which endeavor I wanted to get into and settled on Custom Guitar Picks after seeing a small boom on Listia. I have a cart set up already to accept dollars, but the point of the poll is to see if there would be a market for them if I started accepting bitcoins for payment. Cart isn't fully ready as I'm waiting for stock.

You should talk to Dank. Maybe you two can work on his festival and you provide the picks.

I suspect that logansryche and dank in combination would cause a serious disturbance in The Force. Good to see you back logansryche.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

I think this is a great idea. Dank wouldn't have to worry about soda supply anymore.

They don't do real one's anymore, unfortunately. It's all Delrin now.

You can legally get turtle shell picks if the material they're made from was gathered before they were classified as a protected species. I actually had one, it had a little "compliance" mark on it to certify that the stock was pre-existing to the ban on turtle hunting. I lost this pick and I'm willing to purchase a new one. I'll spend my coins on the real deal, not some substitute. If they were easy to find I would just pay with fiat

Delrin or Celloid Good to see you back logansryche.
Thanks, it's been too long. Much has changed I see.

There's no reason not to add Bitcoin as a payment option. The market's obviously a niche one and wouldn't work as a Bitcoin only enterprise, but it's not as though adding Bitcoin as a payment option is going to be difficult or expensive, so why not? Establishing a stable supply of quality products is going to be more important to your success than whether or not you accept Bitcoin.

Lovely from a product derived from pvc. Delrin is generic nylon I think, I remember both being marketed heavily by Dean Markley. I could also settle for a pick made from bone.
Right when I thought I saw it all, I found some made of teak, oak and felt/rawhide, although I'm pretty sure they wouldn't play well.

You need to fix up your website. The "page not available" errors are annoying enough but it gets worse. http://cosmicpicks.x10.mx/stores.phpAlso Upcuts are picks cut from materials other then guitar picks such as credit cards, flyers, etc.. The word you're looking for is than. The sentence as written doesn't make sense anyway.

I don't have any stores besides this one. Also, the site isn't 100% finished since I don't have stock just yet(not making that mistake again).

Remove the stores link if you don't have stores. Remove all of the links which aren't going to lead to meaningful content. If links are on your site, people will click them. If they lead somewhere which is obviously still under construction - or even worse, showing raw code - it is going to affect their opinion of your business.

Yep, that stores link had more links on it, mysql hiccuped and reset itself, so I removed the module. I think I have everything situated now except for the links page(i'll be working on that later today). Always good to have another set of eyes look things over in case I missed something. Since it seems so far that there would be some sort of market here for custom guitar picks(even if their not being used to play guitars), I'm working on a payment module since bitpay doesn't have one for presa shop EDIT: going to use the gateway for walletbit. Looks prosmising.
