Re: Spending-bitcoin.com - The biggest directory of webshops accepting Bitcoin!
most of the websites ship worldwide so it's shouldn't be a big issue.
Sure, but costs can sometimes be prohibitive. International shipping, plus any taxes that the receiver might have to pay, can sometimes run in to hundreds of dollars worth, which makes it completely non-viable for most online commerce.Each page has a report button in case a website stops working, stops accepting Bitcoin, turns out to be a scam or any other reason. We will receive a notification of each report so we'll try to act on it as fast as we can.
This is great, but before I spend bitcoin on any new site I'm always going to check out any online reviews I can find. Perhaps adding links for each store (where they exist) to relevant review sites such as Yelp, Trustpilot, etc. would be nice.We have no plans to monetize our website by placing advertisements or selling user data (we're looking at you mr. Zuckerberg!)
You've made a great site, and I've already found a couple of new stores I might spend some bitcoin at in the future. I really hope you stay active long term; however, many similar sites that have come before you have eventually withered out and died. How are you going to continue to fund you servers and bandwidth requirements, particularly if, as you say, traffic is starting to exceed expectations? Donations?We are already working on a rating system for Spending-Bitcoin.com users. Most websites are showing their reviews on their frontpage so we prefer not to add more links to our pages, since we want to keep it as clean and simple as possible.
We plan on accepting donations in the future. We chose not to accept donations from the start, since we do not want to give the impression that we are doing this for the money. We love Bitcoin so we plan on stay active for years
