50k-100k Coin Bounty- Help Req-Feathercoin Service Similar to Coinbase or Bitpay
-
I will match justabitoftime’s contribution to the bounty of 12,000FTC. I would like to contribute more but want to hold on to some of my rapidly declining coins. All in all I have given out around 50,000FTC coins and that is continuing with additional work. We are getting an explorer styled in line with this site and I have approached xchrix to recreate his market charts on our site. He is behind the charts found over at the site below.

Jeese, I only wish I had enough to donate 5k let alone 12k :o
I know it’s not much but i’ll donate 1k that brings us to a 30K FTC bounty so far. I only wish I had bought more ‘really’ cheap coins when they were on the Google Doc exchange :( -
Peer Market will be a downloadable GPL licensed peer to peer exchange platform completely unlike anything out there.
First milestone, run an exchange via gopher protocol.
-
Thanks UKMark, and yea I agree haha. I have 20BTC from selling TRC and PPC that I’m just waiting for FTC to do another big drop to buy more :p (if it goes down again). And that’s great zerodrama and summatix! Great news to hear you guys are working on something!

This is a rather ambitious project. Good luck.Most people don’t want to have to download something in this web dominated society, but it’s difficult to make a purely decentralised open source exchange that is web based.

What if it’s as easy as a Firefox extension? :)

[/quote]Now might be your time, seems like a buy sell war is breaking out 125 BTC to move up 0.0001 to 0.002 and about the same to hit the floor :o
-
Haha yea I’ve been keeping an eye on it. The buy orders have gone from almost 500 BTC to 316 BTC now too

I just quickly threw this together: [url=http://feather.lokifund.com/]http://feather.lokifund.com/[/url]
Not concerned about GUI atm, just fleshing out functionality and what direction Feathercoin should head. My idea is to essentially do the same thing as Coinbase. What are people wanting to see? Also will need to work on selling points for Feathercoin.
Eventually the goal would be to integrate with banks to buy FTC directly, but that’s further down the track…

That would be cool. Though I use Chrome most of the time ;) -

[/quote]That looks really nice! And yea something like that is definitely what a lot of merchants are looking for… a kind of one click type payment system they can implement on sites.
As for browsers, I like using Opera :D
-
I used to use Opera, but site compatibility is too poor.
What really needs to be worked on are the advantages of Feathercoin and the selling points of a new platform, otherwise merchants are just going to be left asking why they don’t just use the already established bitpay and coinbase services.
And please, nobody create an underground illegal marketplace using Feathercoin. This at least is one advantage over Bitcoin and Litecoin, as they’re receiving negative attention due to illegal misuses. It really comes down to branding and PR. You can’t control how the currency will be used, but you can control its image, and the marketing is what’s really going to set Feathercoin apart.
-
Those marketplaces will soon accept LTC and FTC anyways. They’d have to be daft not to.
This is why I want to make the marketplace peer to peer. Deployment difficulty is what is causing all the illegal trade and scamming. Make the software easier than running torrent and you’ll mom and pop shops running FTC trades for goods in no time.
As for bankers, we don’t need to hold their hands nor do we need to bow down to their model.
Instead we should push feathercoin for oil and electric and for truckers to get a better rate on their miles credits. People need heat in the winter and truckers are making money like new bands make money from Hollywood: pennies on the dollar.

I was probably one of the first 12 people in the first faucet post on bitcointalk and have been avid since. My site will be done way after this bounty is collected… but any insight, thoughts, encouragement, constructive criticism is much appreciated. The current site is just a wordpress, I’m just playing with the url tree while I wait for the green light.
I build websites for a Financial Group and I’ve done very well for them. My Business Plan draft is on some money desks but some of you probably know that’s the time consuming part. I mean to do this up proper if it takes 1.2 years.
(ps if any of you need me to look over website code for section 508, seo, valid html etc, let meh now)

Nice, great work Stephen! It looks nice… can’t wait to see it done. I can only imagine how all these sites being worked on will look once they’re all finished :)

[/quote]Interesting choice of not allowing bot trades. How far along are you?
