I wonder if we sold coins on the market place for slightly below market value so people could arbitrage between bitbay market place and exchanges?

I mean sure we would lose a little bit of funds but it would get a lot more people testing the market place.

Could wait for the new template version I suppose before doing it?

I really like the idea! And I agree, we should do that when new version is out.
Will take it to the team

Hello,

  With the renewed interest in BitBay (also the new version being released sometime in April) and the recent up tick in volume on Bittrex I have re listed one of my items for sale on the BitBay Market.  Its a good deal and you have to download the Market Client and enter in the below order number to see what it is.

  BTW I have already sold an item on the market in the past.

 Order number: cafc4302673413db21160f3d02094f8c

Thanks

ummmm wat?

no, it's dead

Don't think I would say that. In the past few weeks:

1. Price on Trex has doubled.
2. Volume is at 9BTC which is about 9 times of where it was. (At the time of writing).
3. Bitbay has added a new marketing team by the looks of it.
4. Slack group has more activity than before.

Are you guys saying there are some big upcoming events soon or do you just mean in the future?


We will release the new client with templates for buy/sell anything in april.


Why don't we get added to Azure? I mean it seems to be accepting coins with tech nothing as good as bitbays?


David is looking in to it

have you just leaked some info here you shouldn't have?
bit of a rubbish way to tell everyone about a new release!?

What do you mean? Leaked? It's in the announcement.

i think we are at a breakout point with our marketcap. Its been at this price before but no higher apart from the birth. So if we rise I think we could surge up the rankings form this point.


great work by the whole team. I imagine lots is going on behind the scenes

Bump from back in May of 2015. These are what are coming to the BitBay Client.


Back to work Cheesy ... *cracks knuckles*

Ok so im pushing for an update pretty soon guys.
Waiting!

Not the only one, me and my wallet are also waiting. Not able do nothing without an update

Yeah this next update is major. I'm working on all templates. To give an idea how intense it is, ive attached screen shots. Bartering for example has 2 lists of items. A wish list of things you want and a list of things you have. People can trade their list with yours and Halo calculates the values of everything. So it will be extremely easy to find out how much Gold to send in exchange for potatoes and avocados. You can even combine goods and services BitBay is only used to insure the transactions so its critical to find out what the deposit has to be. Currently, it depends on: How big each shipment is, how much quantity you can sell and how many things in your list you will accept in exchange.

Shipping is another matter entirely. I'm relying mostly on DHL because its in every country. This will be only for calculating shipping. Buyers will be able to calculate this (if i can find a good api). Sellers might have free shipping, request buyer to calculate or request the negotiate that only when in escrow.

The three templates for offers are mostly done but countering is an entirely different ui in some cases (like in barter). Also the interface while in escrow in also different. So my estimate for time to spend coding on this, didnt consider some of the complexities of the templates themselves. Anyways, im making progress and hope to be done soon.

Screenshots:
Forms can be complex or simple depending on what is selected which reveals hidden sections.

Same form with less selected...

With cash deals, you need to supply funding info... but this info in withheld until the deal funds

Standard employment contract. The unique feature here is automated payments with submission of progress reports.

A Standard Sellers contract... its been recommended most people will want to debate shipping while in escrow, not before

Wanna see something cool?! How about a reverse auction!? This can attract traffic to the market.
https://i.imgur.com/virQBTY.jpg

The most INTENSE contract... bartering. Very complex for me to code this. We can figure out how much gold is worth an avocado. Goods/Services can be matched. The only thing is, since both parties ship things, there is no real way to calculate shipping, its assumed to be part of the price for now or it gets sorted out in escrow.
https://i.imgur.com/ivnW6CX.jpg

Adding an item might be more advanced or not depending on the item. My idea is to encourage farm co-ops.
https://i.imgur.com/oRS69pI.jpg

The software magically knows what everything is worth and barters the items. You make your offer to the seller on this screen.

Anyways, let me know your feedback, the shipping is by far the most complex issue. On slack we discussed giving the option to sort it out in escrow. But ive listed a few other options as well.

I see the faucet now, and a couple other contracts. I tried to claim the faucet but I got a popup box: Error loading return address

The popups warning about understanding the contract language are also clunky, the Thanks buttons really do nothing, if you press them the transaction doesn't go through, you have to click the "don't show this again" button for the transaction to go through.

I suggest a back button to bring you back to the contract window from the Contact Information dialog, if you hit Accept and want to cancel out of the contact info screen, you have to redo the contract.

Also, i should add to my earlier comment. You can see your Bitmessage address and email address in the Receive tab. Make sure you can at least see the bitmessage address. You can add an email on that tab.

I like the suggestion about allowing people to run through the setup wizard again. Its true once they skip it there is no way back to it.
Also you CAN save information you enter into all contract templates. If you are at the home screen and you try for example "Sell coins" or "Buy coins" you will see an option in that panel to save the information for later. This means you never have to enter it twice. Only when doing a custom contract there is no save option.

Hey a few things. When the client first starts, the decentralized markets take time to load the offers. It doesnt have a "blockchain" its peer to peer based on Bitmessage. So it takes a moment to get caught up since Bitmessage holds only 2 days of memory.

Okay the next thing, the whole "error loading return address". The prompt also says "please check THEIR preferred contact method". EDIT: there is another part of my code where i didnt elaborate on that text, i changed it to match. Anyways, there are two methods of p2p communication. The first is email, the second is Bitmessage. The setup wizard recommends having both.

The reason i dont only use Bitmessage exclusively was because it is still being worked on by Aetheros and I want people to have a second less decentralized option of email.

Emails is STILL very anonymous because it uses end to end encryption in Bitbay. So all those emails will arrive encrypted. I should also tell you that Pay To Email also uses Steganography.

Anyways, you can contract in either Bitmessage or Email but a person who posts Email as their preferred method of contact will not accept Bitmessage offers. Perhaps i should allow them to use "either". But that would require changing a good amount of code and i dont have time to change that.


So to respond to that fawcet contract you should set up an email or ask 3r to post one where bitmessage is the preferred contact method.
