Title: General Improvements - ease of use
Post by: IIONLINEDRUGSII on January 11, 2012, 11:58 am
Hi guys, I'm new here to SilkRoad and so far am absolutely loving it. What a great community you have set-up here.

There are a few things which I feel are lacking from the site though, these are listed below with explanations:

1) Last Online - when viewing a seller's page/profile the ability to see when they were last online. Suppose this just helps with the waiting after you have placed an order.

2) View prices in GBP (£) - you already have the option to change the price view between bitcoins and USD ($) but the addition of other currencies would be great, mainly the GBP. Maybe the euro as well as I know you have a large seller and customer base in the EU.

3) Product Thumbnails - When viewing a product list (for me it is mostly Drugs > Cannabis > Weed) but the inclusion of product thumbnails there would be great. Similar to what you have on the homepage but only related to the category of choice. Ultimately, a nice grid view of products.

4) Bitcoin Exchange Rate - a live feed that shows the current bitcoin exchange rate in various currencies. This can just be added in the "Account" section at the top as it is relevant to your bitcoin balance. (maybe this ties in with number 2).

Any feedback from members or admin would be great!

Thanks everyone!

All the best!

As for #1: This could be used to incriminate users. As little data as possible should be stored about members.

#1 I agree with the above user. I think it's specific enough as is.

#2 Makes sense. Would be good to implement.

#3 Not sure this is needed and may just make load times longer. If a product sounds appealing, just click on it.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I was just throwing some thoughts out there, seeing if they would be plausible or not.

As I said, I'm new to SilkRoad so am still unaware of limitations and and so on.

Anyway, I'm happy with the answers I received.

I deffo be mentioning other things in future once I've explored around more.

All the best!

or...

always show the BTC and a currency of choice ($, €, £,etc) i'm really tired of checking how much something actually cost me in my home-currency..

in a few words: every listing should have a BTC and for example $ price tag.
