Should the Feathercoin Market be on a separate domain?
-
My opinion is churches and religion in general does more harm than any sex toy, I see no reason the marketplace should be moved to keep anyone happy. Maybe add an 18+ section where you have to state you are over 18 to enter because of adult content etc (I know anyone can click a link but if it is really against their beliefs they wont). We can’t change everything and start hiding certain things because 1 group does not agree with it. I can buy hookers, drugs, alcohol, guns etc etc with cash… you don’t see churches refusing to send the collection tray around because cash can be used for naughty things.

I agree it should not be moved to make anyone happy but that wasn’t the argument in favour, the argument in favour was that it would be appealing to 3rd party developers and potential customers because it would make Feathercoin look more distributed. Also there would be no downside to doing it.
What happened with the church is not really a big deal for me, but if we wanted to avoid incidents like that again having things like the market on another domain would help as it wouldn’t be seen as an official endorsement.

Well if you will be moving it (I still hope you will not) [b]do it fast[/b].We should be glad our market is finally working and you want to move it few days after launch?
[/quote]To be honest I do not want to move it however I have been told that I should so I am putting this poll up. I am too close to make an objective call on this one.

[/quote]That’s a fair point, A site like cryptomarketplace.XXX or similar I have no issues with. My post was more a mini rant about the closed mindedness of churches in general… well if we can’t see Tony snorting coke off his hookers for cash it didn’t happen but if he pays in FTC then its bad. none of that happened btw… we paid in LTC :P

because they wouldn’t accept my PXC :(

I don’t think it matters one way or another.
The Marketplace will be endorsed, I imagine, by Feathercoin if it is hosted elsewhere anyway. Unless we are not going to endorse it and disclaim some kind of ownership over it? And what message would that give?

This… If there was a 3rd option saying I don’t care either way that would be my choice. -
Back to reality, We are not idealists. Now We are very weak. Therefore, Official should provide a complete service.We should provide a variety of applications. Provides demonstration. All this is in order to promote and advertising .
FTC/BTC Exchange rate fell to 0.00041. Huge fluctuations will seriously affect people’s confidence .

[/quote]If there are strong objections I would rather this doesn’t go through, it’s more important we are all happy. I can talk about it on Skype if you like too.
I don’t think we need put it on its own domain right away, we can run the market in beta here for a month or so and then launch it full scale with proper marketing with landing pages and promotions once it is out of beta.
I think the public will understand and be grateful that we trialled it on our site first so iron out bugs.

You could put it on a separate domain and also keep the link in the top menu.
Or make a ‘links’ section where you can put the marketplace and other suggestions about where to spend your coins.
[/quote]+1 exactly, those things called hyper links sure do come in handy sometimes :)
[/quote]There’s really no downside to doing it. You put it on it’s own domain, you put a 301 redirect on the current address, and you change the link at the top. It solves more problems than it creates.
The only objections I’ve seen so far is that it would be harder to access, but if it’s still linked to in the same place and the old URL 301’s, wouldn’t that address that concern?

I agree with this and the aforementioned arguments. As long as we keep a link here, I have switched my position in favor of moving the market.

[/quote]Wow that vote really shifted.

The market will be moved to its own domain. As suggested it will not leave immediately as we can consider it still in incubation. A few more features and bugs fixes and off it can go.

it would be cool if the feathercoin market place was part of the client, a decentralized encrypted marketplace with its own currency FTC :D

[/quote]It’s not a good one, that’s for sure. Should the client do anything other than act as a wallet? Should is browse the web? Should it read email? Support Paypal transactions? If you said “No” to these, why would you say yes to, “Allow you to buy sex toys?”
