BitcoinStore Launch - Cheaper In Bitcoin

It's called BitcoinStore, but the prices are only shown in USD. I expect it will show the conversion on the checkout page, but at first glance the concept feels like just a marketing gimmick.

While they may offer a discount for using BTC, their prices start off much higher than the competition.<p>Clicking around in the section for LCD monitors, all the name-brand models were 50-80% more expensive than on the likes of newegg and amazon.

The lack of chargeback risk is no doubt great for the merchant, but I wouldn't consider buying from such a place unless it had built up an extremely good reputation, not only for honesty in terms of shipping what I paid for, but also in resolving problems.<p>Credit cards give me a lot of protection and I wouldn't want to shop online without that.

It's unfortunate that shipping to european countries is on average about 4x the cost of the product. For example: a kensington-like cable is 25$ but shipping is $110. Similarly, for a 200$ screen, shipping is $300.<p>So while it's nice that international shipping is available, it's not very practical unless you have very deep bitcoin pockets.

I'm curious what licit, low volume, etc. products actually would make sense to sell in Bitcoin vs. something else.<p>The best thing I can come up with is online-delivered services from non-US (and ideally, non-developed financial system) countries, to other non-developed-financial-system countries. Like, a guy in Zimbabwe who wants to provide an online service to someone from PNG. Which is really a stretch to imagine.

The BitcoinStore URL is <a href="http://www.bitcoinstore.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bitcoinstore.com</a> , but I get an error when accessing it:<p>There has been an error processing your request<p>Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.<p>Error log record number: 1226234019337

Very cool! BitcoinStore.com's sidebar hover animation is totally weird on Chrome though... like it's stacking them. It could totally benefit from .stop(true, true) on that hover event before it executes said animation.

um... the first thing I looked at: <a href="http://www.bitcoinstore.com/hp-folio-13-b2a32ut-13-3-quot-led-ultrabook-intel-core-i5-i5-2467m-1-6ghz.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bitcoinstore.com/hp-folio-13-b2a32ut-13-3-quot-le...</a><p>vs. the first google hit: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/HP-Folio-B2A32UT-13-3-Inch-Ultrabook/dp/B006VCOW5U" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/HP-Folio-B2A32UT-13-3-Inch-Ultrabook/d...</a><p>It would be nice if there were some concrete examples advertised of newegg/amazon etc. being undercut.

This is very interesting, and I hope it is a success.<p>Since the government can't shut down bitcoins by stealing them (how they ended the last attempt at a sound currency- the FBI perpetrated a heist where they stole $8M in Platinum, Gold and Silver).... they will have to take more direct methods, like passing a law, or calling this "money laundering".<p>If they don't, then things like this will proliferate, and the only power the government has to back its currency is violence.<p>But employing violence here may be too much for people to accept. ...who am I kidding. Like I said the FBI stole $8M from an american vault and americans don't care, the ones who even know about it believe it was justified because the FBI gave a press release branding the people "terrorists" who "sought to undermine the US Dollar".<p>Oh, undermining the dollar, it sounds so scary when you put it that way.<p>Everyone should read The Creature from Jekyll Island by Griffen. It's a monetary history of the USA. The federal reserve was not created by accident, the boom-bust cycle they've perpetrated (eg: 2008 crisis for example) is not by accident either.<p>I won't say they'll use violence against bitcoin-- they're still using propaganda and that hasn't failed yet... or bitcoin might unravel itself.<p>But if this store is a success, it can't be allowed to stand, or there will be others and the entire system will unravel, eventually.
