[ANN] Chronocoin.com expands beta

[chronocoin]

Where do you get all this stuff?

Unfortunately I'm not able to discuss our supply chain at this moment, but we work with some very huge names to enable Bitcoin acceptance in this medium.

[chronocoin]

what are you entering your cc? lol

Privacy and security are generally important if you're putting it any personal info on a website.

There's no good reason not to have one. I mean if you're lazy about setting it up sure but...

It's lower on the priority list than ensuring that transactions process smoothly during our beta period, but it will be added soon.

Ummm.....

No https on the order page? That's insane.

Where are you located and do you have a business license?

If someone capable of it is doing DPI on your bitcoin-related transactions, they won't glean any information that they don't already have from your Chronocoin transaction except perhaps your taste in beef jerky or something. Since we don't take credit cards, SSL is less of a concern for us than traditional merchants - we're going to add it soon anyway.

Chronocoin is a fully licensed company based in Delaware, USA

Well I'm not a merchant and I highly value my privacy and security of the website i use. Are you protected against hacking or ddos? How do you store user info?
Where is your office located?

ssl from https://www.cheapssls.com/ is only $25 for 5 years

I already have certificates set up, but it conflicts with our DDOS protection schema. When volume increases a bit, adding SSL will become a higher priority but understandably the focus of our efforts at the moment is primarily fleshing out the platform. It's a highly advanced system which interacts with a LOT of data to enable all of the cool functionality on the site, and making sure it's 100% vetted before I can move past a quiet public beta is my utmost goal right now. The system itself has processed thousands of dollars of transactions at this point, but hunting down edge cases is crucial for any release process so that's what I'm focusing on.

Good to hear you say that.

I give you credit for answering these questions without any attitude.

How long do you store user data? Do you sell to 3rd parties? Protected aka encrypted truecrypt folder or? For ddos and hacking protecting who are you guys using? I didn't see any mention of it on the site.

Thank you.

[chronocoin]

We store user data for now in perpetuity, primarily to make the process of checkout + order tracking easier with our front end for users. We never sell your data. I can't discuss the exact details of the protection schema, but it's quite secure. For DDOS, we're currently on Cloudflare- as far as hacking protection, I have a background in systems engineering that is quite extensive and in fact built the entire system that processes transactions from scratch. I also did a lot of testing to ensure that the system is safe for use. It's not something that previously came to mind for mention on the site, but I'm happy you brought it up. Perhaps I'll add something to that end to the FAQ page based on your questions, thanks for helping.

My pleasure, and I'm happy to do so considering it's part of the beta process and helps the company evolve in a positive direction

Actually, we're 100% compliant with all tax laws in both the USA and abroad. However, we make it a totally clean process for you during check out so that you can see your tax rate being applied in real-time, if you're in a zone in which it applies, and it is automatically paid to the appropriate tax authorities by our systems at checkout for you so you don't have to deal with it.

I meant if we cashed to usd, we pay gains tax.

Oh, I get your point now. The nuance was lost on me, heh.

Thanks to everyone who placed orders today, it's great to see some fresh new faces participating in our beta. Any feedback is welcome!

[bitpop]

Have fun everyone.

I just checked, I'm not sure where you found that item on Amazon for $346 but that's a great deal! Read the description carefully as it may be refurbished or an incorrect listing, though. As far as what I'm seeing as standard pricing, Chronocoin is about on-par.
