The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Thank you!
In regards to HTTPS... Would this be a real problem with BTC orders? I understand if using a credit card, but in this case when you order you're provided a BTC address to send payment to - no actual information is sent over the web. Use your bitcoin client to send payment to the address. If there is a security risk I am not seeing, please let me know!

Cool site! Couple bugs:
The link to your TOS is broken in the checkout process.
Just placed an order and I got a different payment address on the webpage than I got in the confirmation email... Please advise.

Without SSL, eavesdroppers will be able to see your users email, password, and address. If you have non-security savy customers (nearly the only kind of customers who would use your site without SSL), they will likely re-use their email password on your site... this will allow eavesdroppers access to your user's email accounts, and by extension everything validated with those accounts.

For Settlers/Dominion/Carcassone etc., I do email gift cards on Amazon for a 5% fee. PM if you're interested. |

Ok, thank you. I'll check into that.
Chris - Thanks for the feedback. Either address should work, but that is strange - can you forward the order confirmation to me at support at cryptobuy dot com? I'd like to compare the addresses.

I've raised this with the site owner, and he is working on this already, but passwords are currently being stored as plaintext. He said he's working on it.
However, until then, do not register with his site with your most secure password: come up with a brand new password or use a tool like lastpass to create a unique password for you.
Should be fixed soon. The admin is very quick to respond over email, I have high hopes for this site.

I believe an attacker could replace your BTC address with his own, to hijack your customers' payments, if the connection is not encrypted. Good to hear you're setting up SSL, and looks like a good site! |

Thanks! SSL should be up within a day or two. The password issue has been resolved. Also, passwords are no longer sent plain text with any emails. That said - still, please don't use the same passwords on here as with your email or other accounts.  |

First off, love the site. I know ill be purchasing a few items soon.
Second, SSL is pretty necessary in my opinion, so much so that the only way I will create an account is with a freshly generated password. Security is a big factor on any trade site.
Edit before posting: I'm glad SSL will be up soon, thanks for dealing with these issues expediently.

Is this site aimed at a specific market, such as technology and gadget accessories, or will you eventually expand your category listings? Just curious since you left "anything" to mean pretty much anything. |

Well... I started with tech items because thats what i enjoy - but we'll see where it goes.
I like the BTC branded zippo style light idea...anything like that already exist anywhere?
How can I verify? Would putting a link to this thread on the homepage somewhere work?
