Hi Bush hope things are working out ok with the pin to fiat.
Recent prices have really affected things. I will get all my stuff
up once this is in place.Good luck with it all!

I am in Amsterdam at the moment for the conference ChrisJ managed to arrange after the original conference canceled. This and the fact that the kids were off school last week means that I have had little time for development. I have managed to squeeze a little bit into the trip but will be back on these things when I return from the Dam.
Outstanding tasks
[list]
[*]Pin to fiat
[*]Improve shipping options
[*]Do not display adult items until logged in and show tick box to show adult content when registering and under control panel
[*]Add email feedback for payment received, item dispatched and item received
[/list] -
Thanks for your communication and continued hard work, Bushstar.

PIN TO FIAT, please fast…

Another good feature to improve the marketplace auction would be have a list or folders of pictures uploaded.I explain… once you sold something and you want to sell once again the same product you can’t reuse the same pictures, do you have to upload it them again… maybe seems stupid but it can help to save space. It doesn’t happen when you [b]RELIST[/b] the auction, there is no problem and the website use the same pictures. But it happen when you use the [b]sell similar[/b] button in sold item menu.
[/quote]+1 this is really annoying (today I did it 5times! same product, just different qtty packs)
will be good to offer [b]save as template[/b] or something like this… -
There is a lot of work to be done on the market. I am going to get started on the pin to fiat feature first which I am starting on now. This will happen in two stages which gives us some functionality after the first stage. To start with I will add the fiat value of the items in the display of items and give the user the option of fiat in their control panel.
-
Sounds great thanks bushstar
-
The first stage is mostly complete.
Default fiat chosen on registration
Default fiat changed on user personal profile
Fiat value shown on hot itemsNext up is to show the fiat value on category view, and to current bid, buy now, shipping and additional shipping in the auction it self. The stage after that is adding the pin to fiat.
-
Great, keep working!
-
good work, Bushstar :D
just a remark: in the personal profile the field to change fiat is lab led ‘timezone’ ;-)

[/quote]Good spot. That has now been updated.

Hey Bushy,
Would it be possible to alter things a little so only the first par of a U postcode is displayed as a location, rather than the whole thing?
Thanks and regards,
Stefan -
Post code can differ around the world and the market does not handle post codes in different regions. The way to do this would be to amend your postcode in your profile to only include the first part. These details are not used in the payment part of the auction as the buyer has to specify delivery instructions at the point of purchase.
[b]Update[/b]
Sorry for being slow on the pinning to fiat, I’ve had a bug our youngest has brought home from school.I have all the fiat values of the auctions being held and updated in the database. The system will update values in the database rather than have the API queried for the fiat value every time pages are loaded. The data just needs to be displayed on the pages now to complete the first stage. With normal auctions, normal auctions with Buy Now and Buy Now all have the option to pin to fiat then bids should be in fiat too.
-
Awwww yeah! Now only multiple international shipping options!

[/quote]Do not jump the gun, it is not fully implemented yet. Stage one is now complete though with fiat showing against everything. The fiat value of the auctions are updated every minute and on creation and amendment.
About the final Feathercoin value, this will need to be calculated when the user goes to pay but this should only be valid for a short period. Like Bitpay does to avoid too much drift between the fiat and the fiat value of the coins. I am thinking of making the amount valid for four hours and then requiring the user visit the pay page again.

I know this maybe out of scope for the current release.
But It would be great if there was some kind of smoothing of the price variances of the conversions to fiat.
I think the worry is that if we pin to fiat for example £20 = 200 coins at point of posting the item and the market fluctuates for an hour during the day due to a market pump (or other thing)
so that the conversion is £20 = 50 coins. At this point the item sells and the market goes back to normal.
It would be nice if we took a moving average / smoothed average of the price over the past 12 / 24 / 48 hrs (or another amount?) perhaps to help protect the sellers from market fluctuations and stabilise the cost of items for the buyers.
