Steemit payment gateway [Brainstorm and discussion] 13/09/16
Can you buy anything online with steem dollars?
Does anyone know of any payment gate way
Any online shops accepting steem dollars payment?
What Type of things do you think should be sold for steem dollars?
We have a marketplace website we'll post about soon called Peerhub and you'll be able to buy/sell/list anything for free. It's just being tweaked right now to focus around Steem dollars. It will also have a Store section with thousands of products to buy .. we have access to millions of book titles.. major brands in herb supplements and also have access to a variety of other wholesalers. Just depends on what people want really.
But there are no payment gateways for steem? are you also creating a payment gateway?
I think Steempay.io might be working on a US gateway, but for now going from Steem dollars to Bitcoin via Coinbase/Bitpay is probably the preferred route in the US due to regulatory issues and costs. There are other Bitcoin ones like GoCoin/Snapcard and smaller altcoin gateways that could integrate Steem dollars. In Europe, Blockpay.ch uses CCEDK, or you can use exchanges like Bitstamp/Kraken. My focus for my main startup Bitcash (using the Bitshares blockchain to complement the Steem ecosystem) is in payments and so gateways are always the big obstacle. I'm happy to work and collaborate with anyone in this space. Right now I'm content on just bridging to Bitcoin to use their payment gateways and really focus more on product-market fit and traction.
Really?? That's so cool! Can't wait for this :)
I heard coinoy.com is also planning on accepting steem payments..thats why i want to know more
Will keep you posted!
is there any other way i could contact you? Other than on here?
i have few question and some proposals for you.
Sure. [email protected] ... I'm also on Steemit.chat...ttyl!
Is there anything else posted about this? When will it open?
We should have the marketplace within the week and will post about this soon. For the store section, we'll probably take requests for products (mainly books/herb supplements first) as we update the product list. Thanks for the interest!
Great post .. there are great minds in Steam who give the best ideas ..
On most exchanges its fairly easy to use STEEM to buy BTC which then opens up a lot of potential for all kinds of things.
Yes ofcourse, but i mean having other uses for steem dolalrs could help diversify the currency and keep it secure..as well as boost its value.
Does bitwala accept Steem dollars?
I dont think so
