Topic: [Ann] The Price in Sats - page 2. (Read 948 times)
The speed issue has been fixed, needed to place the search results on separate pages (pagination) which meant changing the item count and pages at the bottom.

To thepriceinsats I wish good luck with the project, looks very nice and I hope to see more products added, very cool that it's not just fixed fiat amounts converted to BTC!
Thank you - been beavering away this week (is there a similar analogy for a mole??) to fix the performance issue. Some site re-structuring had to be done and then I'm moving on to updating the calculators to be able to do a reverse calculation and then localisations - with a few more currencies.
Please let me know, what currencies you wish to see. Currently, we have GBP, USD, EUR, JPY and CNY but as the Chinese love to ban crypto, maybe I'll remove the CNY........
No, I wouldn't punish people like that.
This is a good idea, specially to make sats more common.
A couple of comments:
You're usually showing a different amount (1 sat less in BTC price), probably because of some rounding error. Sats price should be exactly 100,000,000 times the BTC price.
Example from website:
Also, in my opinion, SATs should be either sats or Sats, since it's short for Satoshis. BTC(or XBT) is the currency code used to represent bitcoin, there's no SAT currency code.

Just added 5,000 more items to the database, so now we have over 6,000 searchable items on the site!
AFAICR, the load time on your website wasn't that bad but after the update, it's taking around 16 to 17 seconds to load: Video link- I'm not sure if it's directly related to the number of items you've recently added or something else is causing it [there might be a high load on the server (you might want to check if you're hitting any limits with your current hosting plan)].
Useful to know, I thought it was a little slow earlier today but I tried it again and it went fast, let me look into that!

To give everyone a quick update.
Just added 5,000 more items to the database, so now we have over 6,000 searchable items on the site! It was one of the biggest feedbacks that we were missing either essential items or variants. I also noticed myself when posting on twitter (https://twitter.com/in_sats) that some everyday items were missing.
What were working on

What were working on
- localisation based on IP for currency and language
- reverse calculation for the SATs calc (enter SAT figure get currency
- identifying new product sources in Asia and USA

What's the view of the community.
Focus on adding more items (which gives great searchability) or localisation - language and currency?

I mean, the Twitter account could quite surely be setup to post automatically via a bot, e.g. daily a random item priced in sats 
Less work for you and more frequent updates
Less work for you and more frequent updates
You know I had thought about that but each day I choose an item, create the image on photoshop and then come up with a message. That is why it looks good each time and generally, the message is fun, not just [ITEM] at [PRICE] [LINK]
I just need more arms or even better MORE MOLES!
Hey, first of all, thanks for the Coffee, I know people don't want to part with them $SATs (neither does this mole) but your right, marketing is more the focus. I'm getting a little more traction and posting more reliably but I will definitely take your pointers on board!

It looks like you've gained only a small amount of followers since you posted "this" back in March; perhaps you should consider trying paid promotions on various platforms [start with small amounts and see which one works best].
Perhaps he/she made that comment while using one of those websites that always tend to overestimate fees [e.g. here's one].

- If you expand your listings to other reliable platforms, I'll create an avatar and promote your website [for free] for a month or two [depending on my mood, I might extend it].
- Send me a PM when you've added items from other platforms - Just found out Tesco doesn't offer referral links for its products [you might want to look for a platform that does offer such things].
- Bought you a coffee [hopefully, it makes you feel more motivated to do the updates/changes faster]

Huh? 
Where did you get those 400kSat fees from?

Thanks for your kind comments and yes, I'm planning to add more items as I go. I certainly need more staples like beef, tooth paste, milk, etc
My next job is a little localisation. So if you access from the US - you see dollar prices, if you access from Japan you get Japanese Yen, etc. Makes the site a little more global.

Good idea but you need to include in the price the actual cost of the bitcoin transaction fee.
For example:
If I want to buy Coca Cola 1 Litre then I will pay £ 1.45 OR, as a minimum, 3872 SATs (the Coca Cola price) + 441496 SATs (the small fee for bitcoin miners)

The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions
(Hi, satoshi!)Huh?
Where did you get those 400kSat fees from? At the moment (block height 698294) a fee of 1Sat/vB is totally fine, with transaction sizes of ~200vB it means it costs roughly 200 satoshi to send on chain transactions, a mere 0.09€, which is negligible even when just buying a single bottle of Coca Cola (also a bad example, most online transactions are much larger, e.g. due to shipping costs).Also, in a future where we can order e.g. on Amazon with Bitcoin, the payment will be off-chain in a Lightning channel that connects the users to Amazon LN node directly or indirectly. So even less fees.

Your website seemed simple to understand and easy to use while also being informative for new users who might not understand what a satoshi is or how it related to Bitcoin (besides it's now famous creator). I appreciate your effort. It's great to see new websites pop up that offer insight into Bitcoin. Good luck with future development and thanks for posting here to let people know what you're working on. I look forward to seeing more updates as time passes.
Thanks, I appreciate the support. I need to get more items listed and work a bit more on location-based dynamic data. Currently its GBP default.

I actually like the sats idea...it however can be boring sometimes or abit difficult to represent large amount of bitcoin in Sats... so I wonder how nice it would be to price in Sats but allow btc when the numbers become too long to write, like simply writing 10btc instead of 1 000 000 000 sats. The later also means less data, esp in digital world.
I hadn't honestly thought about large numbers, only low-value items to get people using $SATs for everyday items. But I guess, if $BTC BTC was to be the currency of tomorrow, then we do need ways of displaying large figures easily when purchasing a house for instance (or moon base / Lamborghini)

Feel free to buy a developer a coffee & support the PriceInSats site: 3NeEykh9qqDTwnM8yeaEABsHyziNWZryrq (You could be the first!)
Really nice work man! Good example of small things to diffuse btc in real world!! Will follow on twitter!
Thanks that's really kind of you to mention.
We had a few tech issues on the site, which stopped me from posting daily and Twitter itself, classed us as spam, but we are past that now, so hopefully we'll get back to daily posts!
