Bitcoin Sales Platform

LiteMarket

Bitcoin sales platform

The Litemarket platform is intended to make setting up a small Bitcoin shop simple. Rather then relying on old website building tools and complicated payment systems, Litemarket is a desktop server application allowing buyers and sellers to connect on a small scale. Site by site.

The platform can be used as a shop server for buyers to connect to, or can be used by buyers to connect to another friend's shop. All requests are JSON requests back and forth between the programs. The server program must have the ability to receive incoming socket connections just like a website server. If your using 3G or behind some router you probably won't be able to host a shop. Buyers should have no trouble connecting to an established store.

Litemarket is a breakdown of the website to it's simplest parts. A database, and a way to view it's contents. When you go to a website they have great graphics and logos, videos everywhere and all kinds of extra stuff. Although that stuff looks great and helps to calm your fears of entering your credit card info. In the world of Bitcoin it's not necessary. I always hear people talking about how they want Amazon or eBay to except Bitcoin. But I really think the point of Bitcoin is that you don't need those big systems anymore. They where built to make it easy to buy and sell in a dangerous internet age. Bitcoin will make the process of payments on the internet a simple one on a world scale. And I think this kind of personal sales platform goes along with the idea well.

When I first learned to make websites I remember thinking how easy it was. How I had looked at these sites for so long, amazed at the skill. And then after taking a 1 hour html online class realized I could do the same. Then later, it all came crashing down when I learned that if you want your website to accept payments...... you needed to be smart. Money on the internet is difficult, it wasn't made with that in mind. Bitcoin was built just for that need. And I think the old website model will change as well, as we learn we no longer need these complicated checkout carts.

JRE Notes.

The Java JRE 7 that is packaged with the installer has 2 changes that would need to be added on your system as well if you want to use your own JRE. The Extensions, and the COMODO site certificate for Blockchain.info. At the time of writing the JRE 7 Doesn't have a certificate for Blockchain.info if you try to connect through https you'll get errors. You don't need this if your using the Bitcoin qt was your wallet.
