Yes, it could. The main differences are that it is self-hosted, has only on-chain capabilities, and does not allow for media hosting. I can’t really call it a product; it feels more like an experiment.
Media hosting is an underestimated feature. It lets products be auto-delivered instantly after successful payment. This provides customers with a great experience and boosts satisfaction more than other methods. For sellers, it offers relief since they can scale more easily, faster, at the cost of building customer relations.
Another platform excluded was autobuy.io. It didn’t meet the research requirements. They needed a Coinbase Commerce API for payments. Also, it does not offer media hosting. If you’re curious, you can check our demo store here: https://autobuy.io/@AG0RA
I was surprised too, especially since none of them focus solely on Bitcoin. They were the best choice because they offer media file hosting and Bitcoin payments. Lightning integration would have been ideal! I had to use $21 in the demo product because receiving a small amount, like $2.10, on-chain didn't make sense.
We've found some options for you. None of them are self-hostable, but they all offer self-custodial bitcoin payment integration. There’s no KYC and no subscription cost, so they’re worth considering. You can check them out here: #1047216.
Testing for now, we select one platform to be the reference for escrows in the future, or maybe offer different options, via nostr, lightning and onchain. We'll see what's possible!
Thakds fr your feedback and suggestions. I totally agree, privacy need to be preserved, but we can't (and we will not) enforce it. We don't care who you are or if stackers want to stay anonymous, the escrow service work independently and is not tied with SN anyway.
We are planning to use nostr group chat to facilitate conversations with all 3 parties (including us). Stackers can create a new npub for each trade if they wish
No way we can ask that to SN. For now we gonna provide the escrow service ourselves, it will be optional and available on request upon 1% fee prepayments.
We are already playing with the infrastructure we have these two working:
- Cowboy Escrow https://4g0r4.github.io/cowboy-escrow/
- AGORA.bin https://4g0r4.github.io/coinbin/
- Bitcoin Escrow https://4g0r4.github.io/bitescrow/
And these are on the making:
- BitEscrow https://github.com/4G0R4/escrow
- Scrow https://github.com/4G0R4/scrow
Correct, the code still good and a min cart amount of 210$ is required for a 21% discount to apply. As a trusted returning customer, we are happy to provide a different discount code for your next purchase without min cart req. Please contact me or @AG via nostr for more details.
ok, it start to make sense. I double-checked for how long it has been around (nearly 10y) before sharing it here. I assumed some cryptography expert would be interested.
After all, even if built with the best intention, this marketplace is selling bets... gambling by principle. And in fact, as you mention, a buyer will be never able to verify true ownership of the wallet.dat. Thus yes, this site could be selling stolen wallets.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, the mistake was discovered after we had already printed and shipped the order. The new version does include the detail in the coupon. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can check it yourself when your latest order arrives.
If you have any issues or questions, feel free to message me, @AG, or contact us via Nostr DM (in our bios).
Your comment makes me think about how the ~AGORA is maybe perceived as something for "us". We want it to be the go-to place for P2P trades using bitcoin, a place is for anyone interested in selling or buying anything for sats. How could we make it clearer? What will encourage a stacker to publish or promote in the ~AGORA instead of building their own territory?
what's the difference of someone asking verbally and others putting it down on black on white? still bribery, thief. It's same thing. They try what they can, they make you believe they have authority over you, you trust them.
I enjoyed the bravery these group of Americans had exploring unknown territories, with all the risks it involved, they accomplished the mission. Pure wester style in modern times... Yeehaw!
We always share our weekly appointments and ads posted in the ~AGORA on x and nostr... here the latest one:
Still early and engagement is really low... We also recently implemented a version of @istealkids' bot. Thank you, it's really useful!
