At some point I’d love to start an Etsy type store though powered by JAHM but I need a dev on the team first
Getting devs is the difficult part. Am reaching out to some of them over the last months, but none respond.
I know people buying with any crypto will be low for now but it's all good to experiment with it before it starts.
Agree 100%, we need these initiatives, otherwise it'll never takeoff :)
@aggroed mentioned before the fork he was working on such a P2P market where anyone could start a shop on hive engine, and Leo is gonna launch their p2p shop again soon as well as others. There is also someone working on a music store Etsy style
Hmmm, sounds interesting. At least some of the devs involved in creating marketplaces. I do hope they take the right approach, which is not to stick to HIVE only, or just crypto payments; They need to include fiat payment options as well. Recently I was checking out Travala, a webshop for travellers (flights, accommodations). They take the right approach, fiat with all the usual payment options available, and added to that a whole bunch of crypto currencies they take as payments.
I'll be continuing me search for devs, or at least to bring my ideas what we can do with HIVE, what use cases are very interesting for HIVE to progress into the future. Soon I'll make a pitch for HIVE as a payment token, for webshops, but also for PoS...
