onionX - Crypto Shoppingcart Solution written in PHP with Remote, Private Nodes

[NiceGuySKyy]

Hi! Im new on here, but as im middle to insanely interested in bitcoin and other cryptocurrences i finally found this forum and registered an account. At the time being, me and a friend of mine are developing a new ecommerce shop system for all types of business owners and entrepeneurs, and therefore would love some feedback on the work already done and also suggestions to features to be added and so on.


Purpose:

Creating a strong solution, that is basic, yet advanced, secure and on top of that easy to use.

Language: php, html, css. Fetches adresses via json rpc.

We looked at an old, broken code for inspiration, trashed it and started from scratch. We wanted to develop a shop solution where each single shop owner also owns their own private blockchain node, either pruned or full, on a seperate server from the shop it self so the feeling of privacy is really strong (one off the biggest charms with cryptos, in my opinion). It is indeed starting to look like something, but is still in testing/demo while we finish off the last layers of encryption and licence systems.

Currently working:

* Fetching adresses with low to no off-price from current rates super fast.
* Can run on both clearnet and onion, either both at the same time or one of them.
* Super easy and handy admin panel (never needs to access the database, everything can be done from the site).
* Different layouts for product listings.
* SMTP for order details.
* Simple, yet somewhat pretty design, very stable and secure.


To do:
* Fix bugs with users that want to register while purchasing.
* Add monero and dash (more coins worth looking at?)
* Add more user-related content in the main shop script (PMs, My Account etc)

Here are some pictures of the current state Please leave feedback, both positive and negative.

I'm not a back-end coder so my comments will be towards its front-end...

• * Fix bugs with users that want to register while purchasing.
  

  Hopefully, this doesn't mean that users have to register twice before making a purchase.
  

• * Add monero and dash (more coins worth looking at?)
  

  I'd suggest adding the top 10 from coinmarketcap.
  

For the processor part, will you be offering a white-label type?

Embedding images for you:







So, what exactly are you trying to sell? Is this a shop where you buy access to full nodes?

Or is this a kind of shop which can spawned along with its own full node? If this is what you're doing, then I really like the idea. You can distribute your storefront with BTCPayServer along with some of the modules needed to support a couple of altcoins. That way, you get a store running on Tor that accepts most by cryptocurrencies.

I don't like the idea of running the full node on the same server as the shop, because a remote access vulnerability in the shop exposes the node to risk, especially if the node uses a flimsy protocol such as JSON-RPC.

[NiceGuySKyy]

No, its the shop with the setup and everything we are to sell. Its basicly a shopping cart without the help of third party companies.

I agree in your claims that running remote nodes with JSON-RPC can have weak security features. However, with the right encryption layers its a very good solution.

The setup as for now is a self hosted full node on a remote server, not going to mention what encryptions and so on as ive personally never seen anything like it and would like to remain "some secrets" until its done.

I'm not sure who is your target here yet but I don't think most site owners are targeting or mainly focus on the privacy part of the Bitcoin payments nor they are interested in running their own node. Most of the inquiries I have seen so far coming from website owners are the ones who are looking for payment gateways where they can implement Bitcoin payments easily for their website such as Coinbase Commersce or Bitpay, the ones who are interested more in running their own node resort to the likes of BTCpay and I think they already have a good solution to what you are currently offering.
