(IDEA) BitBay - eBay for BitCoins

[charlie]

I've come up with a community project -> BitBay.

A eBay style website where people can bid and post used or new products to sell for bitcoins.

This idea is in the very begining but if anyone can offer services or skills to help i can offer them shares in my idea/company.

I'll start registering a domain, inviting people to a team and skype conference and then get everything rolling once i hear some feedback.

Regards,
Charlie

its a good idea and one I have had myself

however you would never get away with calling it bitbay

ebay would certainly sue you if it got big enough to draw their attention

You could use:

BitBid
BitBuy
BitDeals

I haven't checked availability on any of those, just thought I'd throw them out there for consideration. I'd like to help, btw. I have some experience putting together websites.

I meant i know PHP, but like i said we would have a skype dicussion about what code it will be in, the logo, the colour scheme, the system itself and all that kinda stuff once i've launched a full idea and have research etc to back it up, if you'd like to join us please do, we would be very interested

Also if anyone has a server they can host our site on that would be FANTASTIC we would hopefully pay you something like 1 BTC a month which isnt a lot but its good enough

One big issue you'll need to deal with is currency fluctuation - I remember watching an auction on BP for which someone walked away with something that was~$2 when they entered their bid and was ~$10 when the auction finished. You'd beat bidding-pond if you offered currency options built into the auctions...

I can help with hosting and know a few graphic designers. I haven't gotten around to opening up a skype account yet and I still spend most of the day at my "day job" but I respond to PMs and emails pretty quickly most of the time.

I understand that and i believe its not to hard to link the Market and charts in, i had an idea where a bid auto-ajusted to the value of a BTC - USD after the currency had changed over night and when you placed a bid it would show how much that bid was in USD at the time anyway

I don't mind giving a hand and donating some hosting.
But first I have a couple of things on my list :
 - a killer feature for bitcoin-central.net
 - a web interface to jgarzik's open source pool
