[PRE-ANNOUNCE] CoinStax - A Precious Metals Retailer

[robamichael]

Greetings Bitcoiners!

It is a great relief to see the return of BitcoinTalk, for which there is no replacement in terms of Bitcoin development and education, and also my favorite place to watch for new projects.

On that note, I am excited to announce that CoinStax will be launching soon! Work remains, but CoinStax will offer physical precious metals products (gold, silver, and platinum bullion), accepting primarily (only?) Bitcoin as payment.

We have a twitter account which will soon release periodic updates. You can follow us @coinstax: www.twitter.com/coinstax

Leading up to launch, we will also utilize BitcoinTalk for news on the project, so please check back now and then. And feel free to offer your thoughts on our new endeavor.

More ways to buy gold and silver with Bitcoin is always a good thing in my book! Good luck with your business.

Wow, good luck! I hope you do really well!

Thanks TheNewAnon135246!

As far as a time frame for launch - it is still difficult to say exactly when, but given our latest milestones, we are aiming for sooner than 2 months.


And thanks to you too Moonshire!

That's good to hear! Do you need someone to make you a logo/banner ?

I think we have something set for that, but thanks!

However, I am looking for some thoughts on overall theme/style of the site. Give me a PM if you are interested in taking an early look.

Launch seems imminent. Our hope is to launch by Bitcoin Black Friday (11.29.13?).
