It's not possible. Bitcoin can't escrow value, which means that you can't build (decentralized) smart contracts directly onto it. That's the value of XCP. It can actually act as a value escrow.

The reason it won't be built into the BTC protocol is because it's a huge risk. It would get away from BTC's main function as an engine for settling BTC transactions. As you see with colored coins, you can do some asset registration if you're creative. But you will never be able to escrow value on Bitcoin.

Again, really not the point. this isn't a ranking contest, just a very simple analysis of one of the big, well-known btc markets.

Sorry, you're right. It puts the number of transactions on the site at around 1500. Still very low. You, SteamGames and madphysicist actually represent something like 45% of all user feedback which probably means you represent something like that number of actual transactions. The top 25 users actually respresent 80% of all user feedback on bitmit.

Man, offended easily? Whether it's the biggest market or not is not relevant to the point.

Alas, I will put my giant ego aside and concede that BitMit is not the biggest market. Silkroad (probably) carries the day.

This is a small community. For product, I think it's pretty hard to dispute that BitMit is the biggest right now. If you know of one bigger, please share.

EDIT: Oh, yes, SilkRoad is probably bigger. But at the moment it's underground. I hate to qualify my statement, but I will anyhow. BitMit is the biggest, closest-thing-to-a-white-market that BitCoin has.

Did that. The total amount of feedback is probably around 1400-1500. I am looking at positive feedback numbers, so I'm getting an approximation. If you've sold 300ish items, that means that your seller feedback represents about 2/3 of what you've sold since you ahve abotu 200 pieces of user feedback. So if that's the case, and that's consistent accross users, that means that this analysis is abotu 50% off, which still puts the total number of transactions on the site at between 450 and 1050, which is a big range and a higher number, but still a tiny number of transactions that have been facilitated.

Hey guys, I just put together an list of BitMit's best selling products. Just as kind of a point of interest.

I'm part owner in CoinPost.com a site that is a competitor with BitMit, so this is obviously not selfless. But I thought it was something the BTC community would want to see nevertheless, especially as Bitcoins are on the rise. Despite a lot of BTC investors being pretty flush with cash at the moment, I think you'll be surprised at how shallow the marketplace for goods is.

Hey everyone, we're in the middle of doing otc verifications and such.

But I wanted to answer any questions people had about coinpost.com. I'm one of the owners, and we're really starting to do a big feature implementation on the site. So if you haven't checked it out yet, please do. We are going to have everything that BitMit has, and we're going to be adding more and more features as we go. So, stay tuned, get on, and start making feature requests.

We're going to listen!

We're working on bugs for coinpost. We are doing our best to make it extremely sophisticated, and are really trying to optimize experience. We're running along in beta right now because of issues like these. We are currently making re-listing very easy, and making sure the system won't change the URL on you when you re-list old items. Also adding auction support int eh next few weeks.

Hey everyone, I'm not a newbie to the forum, I'm just a lurker, and as such have to post this message here although it would be more aptly placed in the market category.

There has been a lot of questions about who owns coinpost.com.

I am one of the owners. We are going through site verifications right now, and are adding features everyday. Next, we are adding auction support. We want to give you guys the chance to start requesting features, so that we can know exactly what to put in our dev stream.

Anyhow, feel free to message me here, or on coinpost itself. My username is the same and you can find me at https://www.coinpost.com/users/samgeneric.
