Weekly Update 02/09/2018

Hey Blockscarters,

We wanted to give you a weekly update about what’s going on at Blockscart.

Developers have integrated a payment processor for us to use until we add BLXS as payment method. Sometime end of November 2018 we should be implementing BLXS and the Payment gateway.

We need to have a 24hr price from the exchanges to have it convert to Dollar in the gateway.

The payment processor we are using to launch beta is one of the best out there and will allow us to have a highly secure Escrow payment system for trust on the marketplace.

It get’s BETA:

In the last update we told you that we have now implemented a Freelancer/eBay style system with internal messaging allowing for direct messaging communication between buyers and sellers. It allows you to:

  • Speak to a seller directly and ask questions about a listing
  • Discuss the process of your order
  • Ask for a custom made order tailored to your needs — Freelancer section
  • Confirm delivery details directly with the seller
  • Open a dispute between buyer and seller if you have not received your order (this part let’s our platform moderators step in and get the proof of postage or delivery (if digital or downloadable) before a decision is made.
  • Offers more trust when speaking with the person your about to order a product or service from.

Now, this part of the marketplace feature is what you find on sites like Fiverr.

The reason we have gone down this route is because after going into details with developers about progressing and growing the brand, we found that having an Ecommerce products only Marketplace where people had to create a store became very complicated and it limited us to a wider market.

We have said from day 1 that we want a simple to use, not confusing interface and system that a monkey could use, literally!

Want to see a screenshot of Beta?

As you can see, not full of in your face sliders with discounts galore or tacky Chinese looking Alibaba drop shipping styles with categories hanging down the side and widgets placed everywhere with adverts!

It is straightforward. Make a search or look at the RANDOMLY organised Categories, features listings and products based on an inbuilt algorithm that shows top selling listings etc. There is no paid features or paid to be in front of others, this platform is a FAIR TO EVERYONE platform.

Remember; We are not the sellers, you guys are!

We are the platform, Secure Escrow of trades and the platform moderators. That’s it.

We have no input into your sales or who buys what. It’s all you guys.


What’s the team up to?

This week see’s the World Blockchain Forum in London, where Tim and Ramy (Nicknamed Rambo by the team for his pure focus and determination) will be attending as representatives for Blockscart but also an newly appointed international media representatives for our Media partner; Digital Notice.

World Blockchain Forum, London 2018

They are out to make connections, network, build our awareness and most of all - discuss with other teams and exchanges about potential partnerships to help us grow from day 1 of launch.


Akhil (@ baltazar) and Piyush (@ Flash) are sorting through our marketing strategy and bounty campaign.

Once they have everything calculated and stakes accounted for, we will launch a bounty campaign on Bitcointalk to encourage more support and marketing.

The rest of the team are working on business strategy, platform security and what we can do to scale. Emma is creating all the media materials for the marketing side.


That’s about all we can tell you right now. Once we can announce more important details, we will.

Hold tight, we are ready for launch…

We are preparing to Launch Beta platform.

From all of us at Blockscart, we want to thank each and every one of you for being there for us and helping us create an actual platform that the Cryptocurrency community can use.
