Yes, GoDaddy sucks. Fine. But switching to a different server or host doesn't address an issue in this thread. Odd that it keeps being brought up. Suppose the OP gets a different server/host. Q: What does he do with it so that he starts making sales in BTC? A: Nothing. He spends money on a better server/host and gets nothing in return.
And advertise? Sure. But advertising is very expensive. The OP would need to decide if spending a few thousand dollars on advertising will result in more than a few thousand dollars worth of BTC in sales. It seems unlikely to have this effect if his current BTC sales are zero.
BTC is a niche. Very few people have it and very few of those use it. If you don't believe me, start a BTC accepting business. Tell me how the crickets sound where you live.
100% agree. It's easy to tell who here actually owns businesses on these forums, eh?
ROI is how I have to manage things. Right now I have to consider whether spending another 12+ hours getting one of these open source BTC solutions setup is worth the potential 2 sales in the next 6 months, or whether my time is better spent on less speculative projects.
This is the second time Coinbase has changed their information requirements for merchants, and your code just breaks on your website if you don't have their form fully filled out (I was caught by surprise the last time they did this). I don't think they're entitled to any of this information, especially considering 0 sales have occurred and I've never sold BTC for fiat through their system.
My company's industry is niche as it is, so maybe BTC will mature as a payment option in a year or two.
