Show HN: Yumcoin - Share and sell your digital creations for Bitcoin

We built Yumcoin because we think existing solutions for accepting Bitcoin are too complicated. A few people have to built custom sites to accept Bitcoin for their products (eg. Knife Party, James Altucher), but we think the process can be a lot simpler. We host your product, give you a short link you can share with your audience, and manage the Bitcoin payments for you.<p>There's lots of new features we're working on, but it's already useful and fun.<p>Here's an example Yumcoin link: <a href="https://yumcoin.com/p/osZO" rel="nofollow">https://yumcoin.com/p/osZO</a><p>Check it out, and let us know what you think.

Here's the way to build your own online store for $0 and pay $0 + 0% on every sale:<p>1. Install self-hosted wordpress - usually few clicks via your hosting company's CPanel.<p>2. Install WooCommerce wordpress plugin to make online store: <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/</a><p>3. Install BitcoinWay plugin to make sales in Bitcoins as well as in any other currency: <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/screenshots/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerc...</a><p>NOTE: Your bitcoins are completely safe as above setup sends bitcoins directly into your personal Electrum wallet without relying on middleman and it does not need to store your bitcoin private keys anywhere whatsoever.

&#62; <i>Yumcoin takes just 1% + .0025 BTC from each sale.</i><p>A fixed component of the commission for a deflationary currency? The only people putting that into their critical path were not paying attention in economics classes.

I'd like to know more about the security measures you guys take. I've been working on a personal project, and haven't found any good guides to securing bitcoin transactions and managing private keys properly (assuming you host the bitcoin client on some server somewhere).

Your email validation is too strict, my perfectly valid email (.me TLD) was denied.

So this is quite much like Gumroad but with bitcoin. I think that it is perfect for ebooks.<p>As there is now a bitcoin-gumroad, is there anyone planning a bitcoin-kickstarter?

I was just reading another thread and remarked to myself how negative people can be on this site, yet here I go. Sorry - Absolutely terrible logo, guys. Completely awful.

Is there a list of of examples somewhere?

I'm impressed and excited to see where this is going.<p>Are all creations previewed?

Nice site design. Is that a freely available Bootstrap theme?

Could this be changed to also accept other cryptocurrencies?

I'm not going to create an account just to browse a catalog.
