UPDATE: DEMO WEBSHOP COMPLETE
This is a working demonstration of our altcoin payment processor. This allows any altcoin project to sell products and services on any website. We don't have it set up as a bootstrap installer yet, it was custom developed. If a project would like to purchase this tech, we will have to log into a clean vps and configure it for them until we get an installer. You can see how it works by purchasing one of the fake products on the demo site, just use a fake e-mail address and send 1 coin to the deposit address provided, and it will mail a receipt once we receive the coin.
Once again, we can configure this to work with any bitcoin-like coin daemon. Once this is installed, people can use the same theme we did, or build a site on their own. The price for this is 750 Euros (in 2015 coins) for a basic shop, any custom development will cost extra.Good work Dev. IMHO, I think you'll gain more interests/traction if you go "dark" with the shop and xchange..
We could probably do one of those darkweb marketplaces, like provide a base working model and just not operate it, but I don't think there would be anyone who would want to purchase it from us. Another thing we have been tossing around is building a trading bot for whales/pump groups. We have built those before for pumpers, and they're actually in high demand, but you need to buy them custom. The last one I know of that got sold was for 5btc, and we get asked all the time to build them.
With this said, we might deviate from the roadmap a bit, we're simply not meeting our timelines and the stuff we are releasing isn't exciting anyone. This webshop is actually cool, the problem is that no one reads or researches anything. I could release a document saying Bill Gates plans to pump this to 5btc a coin in the middle of an update and no one would mention a thing. I'm not certain how to combat this issue, other than offering the 10% commission to anyone who generates leads for us that turn into sales.
Just throwing ideas out there.
There are a number of barriers as I see it:
1. With the webshop and/or exchange: Many people here are day traders and/or overnight flyers looking for quick gains. They will not put the money in as it requires too much upfront as well as ongoing commitment. There are too many altcoins out there with developers who are capable of creating these items hence no interest. Those who are interested are either too afraid of losing control (don't have the technical know how or not willing to rely on you guys 100%).
2. As much as you would like to sell these projects and move one to the next, the reality is some investors may fail to see how these will benefit the coin itself. you need to simplify and link it better. From the investor's perspective, the development team will benefit from te sales - (be it in 2015 or btc). How will the sale of the assets benefit the coin unless there is a transparent way to assure investors that the fund will flow straight back into the exchange thus appreciating the coin value.
3. The trading bot will definitely work. Atm it can only be custom built BUT if you guys can figure out a way to allow the normal mum & dad investors to operate it with minimal fuss, more flexibility as well as cheap, you will definitely have a hot item there.
4. The crypto world is still fairly small and there are only so many investors at any given time. We are becoming obsolete with all these scams going on around us. There needs to be something more. We need to reach out to the wider market. Bitcoin has done this and is still doing it. We've started off by wanting to be better than Bitcoin but ended up succumbing to the greed, scams and the petty stuff - ultimately losing sight of why we've started altcoin in the first place.
5. China for example is a big market. Find a way(vehicle) to facilitate the transfer of $$ out of the country using crypto technology without compromising the sender then you will open a flood gate
