[Pre-Announcement] BCommerce

[BCEmporium]

I'm creating a "Bitcoin Amazon", it's inspired on those Tor markets but for legal stuff.

The idea so far:

- A user can sell or buy items or services there, there's no listing fee but selling fees.

- All trades are in Bitcoin, although you can index your listing to EUR, USD, GBP or JPY, in this case the site will adjust the price to Bitcoin accordingly to the MtGox and Google - rate is considered frozen at the time of purchase, no complaints if it trended up or down afterwards, please.

- All sales are escrowed, if the buyer and seller agree to go OOE, the buyer can simply release the escrow at anytime after the purchase, otherwise they can and should go by the regular escrow process.

- Anti-Phishing is mostly the main concern, site's password doesn't allow Bitcoin movements, for that the user will receive a SMS message with an One-Time code.

The whole security system works as follow:

- More than 10 failed attempts to login within the last 3 hours will block your IP out for the next 3 hours. A successful login DOES NOT clean this.
- Mobile Nr. changes will take 2 days to take effect, during this time a warning will be displayed on the top of the site allowing you to cancel the change at anytime.
- Email changes will generate two outgoing messages, one to the new address to verify, other to the old address with a link to revoke the change. Revocation has priority over confirmation.
- Withdraws and escrow releases require an OTC to be sent by SMS, this code will have a cost accordingly to the current fee (sorry, hadn't find a place to send free SMS's) for withdraws but it's free in escrow releases (I take it from the 5% selling fee).


Done so far:

- Basic user registering and account management.
- Listing creation
- Live exchange rates
- Deposit and withdraw functions

To do before open for business:

- Review the design
- Listing pages (currently being done)
- SSL Certificate
- Search functions
- Buying functions
- Feedback system

The url: http://www.bcommerce.biz (sorry, the .COM belongs to £§@#$# domain sitter :/ and it's still http as I didn't set up the certificate yet. )

Let me know about what changes or features you think it would be nice to implement and categories needed.

MY EYES 

Good idea overall and can't wait to see it fully functional

[finway]

Will you use the multisig function ?

Will you use the multisig function ?

What is that?!

First API Demo.

The site generates 2 keys and have 2 kinds of API, Public, which I'll demonstrate the use here on a function that allows to advertise your goods anywhere, including forums, also will have JSON and XML output if you want to customize it, and Private, which will be used to manage your listing from an external program, like update stock, check sales, and so on.

Here's an example of advertising:



Which is used like this:

Code:

[url=http://www.bcommerce.biz/p/viewListing?id={YOUR LISTING ID}][img]http://www.bcommerce.biz/api/public/img/{YOUR LISTING PUBLIC KEY}/banner_468_60.png[/img][/url]

The generated image has a 5 minute cache on the server and no cache in the client.

Love the "S3 Virge 60.21 BTC" Lol

I just pulled images from my image cache 

As for the S3 Virge... well, now it's vintage. Actually it's the best card to watch a BR movie, it will make the movie last much longer than it normally would (like 1 year to watch 90m).
