Before that, answer here which providers do you usually use to get bitcoin - > USD prices?
As we will need these prices, we will need to select exchange rate provider for that.
For now we can already choose from a wide range of options, but we're going to use provider that everyone uses
~

If you want to use FIAT services providers that everyone uses to try to use providers that listed on the Electrum FIAT sources(Bitcoinaverage, Bitpay, Coinbase, CoinDesk, LocalBitcoins.). I'd personally use Bitcoinaverage for electrum sources and stay away from services like coinbase, etc because of a 'centralization' factor.

Why to choose a single exchange only when each of them have their own prices? Why not use services like preev or coindesk which gives you an average rate of BTC in USD?
People mostly use Bitmex, Binance and Bitfinex, so if you're still going to choose a specific exchange, go for one of them. As well, will your cart service also have a charge back or "Ask a refund" option if for any reason, a customer is not satisfied with the services/goods provided?

Yes, we will have some refund option, with probably automatic sending money back. Why single exchange? Well, it doesn't mean that I can't use coindesk or anything else. Just trying to find the best one.

Ok, I think it is time for the first spoiler. Note that it is work in progress, any suggestions on improving are welcome of course.
Currently we have restructured our system, now you create wallets and connect to stores. Plus soon we will have each store reference to
"site", which is a django model so we can access one server from different domains and get some info... More details later (:
Currently we have redone main page, wallets page and stores page, plus lots of improvements. We have also switched to postgresql, share your thoughts about it.
The page you see is stores page, so, that's all for the first spoiler (:


And yeah, no page loading, going from page to page, there will be popups (:

enforcing adoption of cryptocurrencies is quite offensive to people, the problem is that those that created money want to take things that where much more difficult to create than the money.

I'm not sure if I understood you right, but in general our target is to make it simple. When we wanted to use bitcoin features and not using third party, we didn't find anything that
would be easy to use and with minimal costs. But when we found electrum, it was much better, but it is quite undocumented. But when after some time we managed to do it,
we decided to create this project to help others, so that they won't spend months on it and they will get easier setup. Also those who created money hard way can do the same, but I want it to be like
if to forget that I created this project, when I search for solutions for accepting bitcoin etc, I will find this solution and will easily install it and just enjoy using it without fixing some things or digging the whole internet.

Yeah, and in addition, we have written it from scratch in python, I never seen something similar in python. As I said before, our goal is to simplify using bitcoin on your own.

1. For open source contribution to accelerate, you need to detail the documentation and have a website that is like the primary source of the contact and not GitHub.
2. The Readme file is too short and doesn't really explain much as in what is the purpose of the project or what it looks like in action so you might as well improve it.
3. There is no contribution guide to get anyone wanting to contribute?

thank you for your comment. we will take it seriously.

its actually really really early to publish this project, but we think that we need to show the world what we have been working on.

so it will give us more motivation to work on it. give us time and this will be an awesome project.

Yes, thank you very much for your detailed comment on this. I will improve readme and make it at least as long as our commit message with big changes (:
I saw github saying about improving repo by adding some things, for now I have added issue template.  Will do contribution guide next, also, can you please provide me some good examples how can contribution guide look like?
About website, we will try to do it soon, maybe with read the docs integrated, which will get docs from github repo.

I suggest you take a look at LBRY contribution guide for a reference, I'm know LBRY has a lot of community contribution going on, and the team has a very strict rule to the code ecosystem.

[MrNaif]

I haven't yet added contribution guide, but now docs are available at https://bitcart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
I have updated installation instructions(manual install), contribution guide will be added soon. More explanation will

[MrNaif]

I have added contribution instructions, feel free to refer to it if you wish to contribute to this project!

this is a great idea to create an open source payment system like this
MrNaif are u alone working on this?
btw, compliments for all this, hope to see this working to test it

Hello! Thank you for your compliments! No, I am working together with artofwar. I am mostly developer, and he helps me in terms of design and ideas.
We're in progress on developing frontend gui, which will allow you to create your store frontend in a few clicks, plus we're refining backend.
Now tables with data will be loaded much faster, plus you won't need to reload page to do any action, like you will be able to add new product, mark it as inactive or turn it back active without
any reloading!

Also, we have improved our docs, added overview with our ideas, and other documentation.
Our docs are now available in two languages: English and Russian.

Hello everyone!
There weren't any progress reports for a while, that is time for another one!
Some changes made were technical, which are interesting more for contributors and developers.
Our changes:
Welcome our first contributor! (github username @zakhar-petukhov)
We have made changes in our docs, docker packaging and main bitcart project.
Let's start from small, docs.
We fixed a few typos in docs, plus added some information about new features.
Bitcart main project:
Most changes here are technical, but I will explain what it means for our users.
We have added pyup to our github repository, which will keep our dependences up-to-date and
help us find security vulnerabilities and fix them fast.
Every week it will open a pull request with changes to our requirements files.
What does it mean for end users?  Their bitcart will use latest version of packages, which will improve speed and security.
Also, we have set up initial tests structure.
Now, with every commit or pull request, bitcart will be tested with our tests suite. It is tested via Travis CI.
Coverage is small now, everyone who wants, especially new contributors, can learn bitcart via writing tests.
What does it mean for end users?
It means that bitcart will be stable, with minimum amount of bugs, and this will improve development process and speed.
We have added badges to our readme in github to show status of our travis build, coverage and docs build.
Bitcart docker packaging changes:
Special thanks to zakhar for improving docker repository, now to create admin you can just run ./create_admin.sh
script without extra actions. Check docs for more details.
Special feature in development:
I have started adding nginx support to bitcart, process can be viewed in nginx-support branch(https://github.com/MrNaif2018/bitcart-docker/tree/nginx-support)
So, it means that using the same automatic docker setup, by specifying your domain if any, you will automaticly get always renewed ssl certificated(tested in ssl labs, A+)
That's all for our progress report. We hope you like it. If you have any questions or ideas, tell us.
