THELOGICALINDIAN - Thecryptostore is an ecommerce website area you can actually buy annihilation in bitcoin from advantage to electronics and clothes We got the adventitious to account Jonathan Farah the architect of theCryptostore and asked him about theCryptostore and how it is altered from added ecommerce websites
Me and my co-founder anticipation about creating a abode area anybody can go and buy annihilation from groceries, to shoes, a woman’s jacket….etc, because we accomplished that a lot of merchants were amalgam bitcoin and starting to acquire bitcoin, but the affair was that you go to a shoes abundance online, they would acquire bitcoin, but if you appetite to get a brace of jeans as well, you would acquire to go to a altered store. It is absolutely difficult to acquisition the items that you’re attractive for and be able to acquirement them with bitcoin. We capital to break this botheration and theCryptostore was alone created to break it. There are big e-commerce websites that acquire bitcoin including overstock and a lot of added abate ones and the affair we had with that as bitcoin advocates, is that they don’t acquire the association aspect that the bitcoin apple does have, and that what keeps bitcoin calm and keeps the answer arrangement going, the bound nick supporters aural the association and we didn’t feel that these websites are tailored to the bitcoin association as they aloof acquire banknote and anticipate like “we’re activity to acquire bitcoin as well, aloof because we can a bit added profit”. We capital to actualize an atmosphere that had the bitcoin association aural it, so we added the “shellbox” to our website, area bodies can babble alive to anniversary other; it is like a miniature foum. We acquire a blog activity with altered advice about allowance bodies access the ecosystem; advice them get into bitcoin and we acquire bitcoin prices up on our website, so we try to actualize the bitcoin atmosphere aural theCryptostore
We partnered with a lot of companies from all over the apple and it is all dropshipping. Our address is in Charlotte, North Carolina on the East Coast
When we addressed the affair of accepting of bitcoin, we absitively to go with Bitpay because they accept a absurd clue record. We knew that they can be accountable, if there were any issues with the acquittal action demography place, so rather than accomplishing article clandestine aural our own company, we absitively to accomplice up with an accomplished aggregation which had a absurd clue almanac and we anticipation that would assignment with us actual well.
Honestly, we heard a lot about abeyant antagonism with big companies as ebay and overstock are already accepting bitcoin; we’re not actuality to action big websites like that, we are actuality to accommodate a website area bitcoin users can go and feel that they are allotment of the community, so it is activity to be absurd if ebay starts accepting bitcoin, but alone 30% of their account are new products, as 70% of the articles are used, so that’s article that sets us afar forth with the association aspect we are affirmation on.
At first, I would like to agenda that the aberration in the amount of bitcoin is absurd and I accept that this is bringing added bodies into the ecosystem, every additional of every day which is article I love. The way we adapt our prices is that we assignment with bitpay to advance their API, so it puts alive prices of anniversary item.
Actually, we’re activity to assignment with NewsBTC to do some advertising, but added than that we’re huge on Twitter @thecryptostore . We like to advance the amusing media because it gives us the befalling to await to our applicant base, rather than us aloof publishing columnist releases, we’re able to affix on an appropriate akin with anniversary being aural the community. We’re additionally acutely frequently announcement on forums and we’re axis them into alive channels amid us and our barter by auspicious them to acquaint us if they like to see annihilation afflicted or any articles they appetite to see added on the store’s inventory.
Yes, we accept a money-back agreement for such circumstances.
TheCryptostore is a accessory of Encrypted Labs Incorporation, which is our awning aggregation and we accustomed a berry allotment about 8-12 months ago and we about acclimated that allotment to actualize the store.
Finally, I would like to agenda that we appetite to accommodate article that the bitcoin association is blessed with and we leave the aperture accessible for that by accepting everyone’s input. We would adulation to affix with bodies and I appetite anybody to feel that he/she is a allotment of theCryptostore.
