The Enteleca Marketplace

[enteleca]

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to make a post, but it certainly seems like it!

Intro

I'm not here to ask for your money, but the wonderful opinion and thoughts of the bitcoin community! My team and I have been working for a very long while now on a viable platform that will be able to connect people from all around (most of) the world in commerce utilizing blockchain technology (basically cryptocurrency, for the time being).


We're almost ready to launch our beta website.


I believe that this technology we all love and adore truly has a place in the world - with the stark convenience of cheap transfers and transparent transactions. I've owned ecommerce businesses in my life and have sometimes run into fiat issues such as paypal withholding my funds, bank transfers internationally taking way too long (holding back our supply chain), the general inconvenience of some paperwork, the amount of time it takes to deal with all of it, the fees that we have to pay (not just transaction fees!), and other factors.

You guys get the gist.

People in our platform will be able to list products and sell to anyone (within legal limits, of course) in the entire world whatever they want.

Manufacturers can sell directly to businesses.
Manufacturers can sell directly to customers.
Customers and sell to customers.
Businesses can sell to customers.

Guys, anyone can sell anything to everyone! We're on a revolutionary forefront. Today, currencies around the world are not ubiquitous in different countries. If I want to purchase a product from Japan, the business in Japan wants JPY, not USD! If I convert it, I am charged a transaction fee from the mediator!

But not anymore with blockchain as I'm sure you all know!

So my team and I are working to fill the informational gap, pretty much. Blockchain fixes all the problems - except, how would customers that are willing to buy from around the world ever know that manufacturers and businesses also from around the world wants to sell their products and accept blockchain currencies?

Our platform fixes that.



The Purpose of this Post


Now what this post is about and what I'd love to hear about from the community:

What do you think our approach to introducing this to the general blockchain community should be?


We want a exceptional experience to all that utilize our platform, and want everyone to try it out when we launch. Our team may travel the world and do some hand-to-hand combat in sourcing the initial suppliers and sellers on the platform, so that our customers get the best deals from around the world.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts, any input from you guys is so very valuable to us!

Tell us more about the platform. It sounds like another ecommerce site. Where's the special blockchain sauce? Is it decentralized? Does your plan include airdrops or perhaps an ICO?

I'm a little bit confused how you're going to be using 'blockchain technology'?

From what I gather by reading this post, you plan on starting out by just accepting cryptocurrency on a centralized marketplace.
Is that correct?

Or are you actually looking on building a fully decentralized platform where sales are done on a blockchain?

"What do you think our approach to introducing this to the general blockchain community should be? "

The best approach is to have a signature campaign in this community. It has a lot of advantages, mainly you can get more exposure because members will carry you signature (Enteleca) while posting around the forum. You can also have like social media campaigns like FB, Twitter, Linkedin. I think you chooses a good niche here, but remember it will take a lot of time before you reach your goal because we always looking for something that we can 'trust'. You have to build it overtime, there are no shortcuts. Anyhow, Goodluck to your project.

I see your project being almost the same as ebay and aliexpress, you're going to deal with blockchain and crypto. But this will also be a major problem because of regulations. on ebay and aliexpress has more Chinese sellers or at least is what I think and china has problems with cryptos, many people in this world do not use cryptos, but use aliexpress and ebay. So like I said, it will not be simple and maybe lucrative to have a project like the one you want to create. I have some questions:

Do you intend to make an ICO?

What currency will be used on your site?
