Blockchain, Cryptocurrency for site/classified purchases ?

[ENTERPRISE]

Hey all, 

 

So I wanted to get your input on whether or not you would like to have blockchain integrated into the site that would allow users to trade crypto currency in the Classifieds section and for other site services. I see the benefit, but what do you think ? 

 

Thanks all,

Seems like a good idea to me for those who have it, and would like to accept it.

Sure.

Any other comments before I decide ?

Do it only IF it requires minimal effort on your part. To my knowledge, there has only been one sale thus far, so if it were to require a lot of work, I would let it be for now.

I agree with avacado

I'm neither for or against it.  What two people decide to do in a transaction should be between those 2 people.  I can always just login to my paypal and send somebody some cash with their email address.  I can always do the same with crypto from coinbase or any other exchange or wallet.  I do use crypto, I do use paypal, I'll happily trade stuff for stuff.

In my opinion, the KISS method would make the most sense.  Keep It Simple Stupid.

 

My 2 cents anyway.  I feel like the more you push for site integration, the less its going to feel like a trade between members and more like a purchase from ebay or somewhere else.  Using things like a trader rating system, absolutely I can get behind that.  Gotta know the person you're trading with isn't a scammer.  But integration of payment systems into the site?  I feel like that opens up the site to too many problems.
