			== How test for links has been performed ==

			Here's the linkchecker command:

			# linkchecker --no-warnings --no-status -t 100 -o csv --check-extern --ignore-url=en.bitcoin.it/wiki -r 2 https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade

			Then we grep out InsecureRequestWarning, SSLError, 503 errors, Origin errors (mostly cloud services) and malign reads (when http server works but gives bad beginning, linkchecker does not like it).
			Works like a charm

			I propose converting this gargantuan list into a wizard-type interface where you follow links based on your needs; and eventually get a list of services that would be best for you. See Wikipedia's article wizard to see more of what I'm talking about. I'm very eager to fix this giant mess of a page. [[User:Taras\|Taras]] ([[User talk:Taras\|talk]]) 20:17, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

			I tried the sites listed below and none seem to be working presently. I created [http://linkwarz.com LinkWarz.com] that provides anonymous no-hassle links to whatever you want to promote, especially bitcoin projects or merchants. Anyone can get their link on the front page right away.

	Because this wiki is censored and not allowing of certain contents or sites, I have set up http://bitcoinsites.witcoin.com/ to allow for all bitcoin-related sites to be posted. Feel free to also use this medium for commenting and reviewing sites as well.

	I agree that a site that accepts bitcoin must Clearly Say So on any page that mentions payment options, and their front/landing page. Any site that does not say so Up Front, should not be listed as Accepting Bitcoin. How do you verify that they accept bitcoin until you've already selected a product/service, and gone to the checkout page, and Finally see an option for using Bitcoin? This is a ridiculous thing to do. If I only have a Mastercard, and I'm on a site that only accepts Visa, I'd be pretty upset to not find that out until I'm already at the checkout page!! Every site I have EVER used to purchase Anything online says, Up Front, what kinds of payment methods they accept. No confusion.

			I am an established merchant who about one year ago began accepting BitCoins. I want to support the idea of BitCoins and I want users of BitCoins to know I exist, this wiki page I have found probably has the best presence for casual BitCoin users to find merchants accepting BitCoins, and the goal (as I understand) is to promote and list merchants like myself so the BitCoin community grows. I do not agree with the idea that the landing page must advertise BitCoin acceptance.

			You should not be dictating to the merchant how they present themselves or you will scare away people like ourselves. I would like to link to our main landing page but I will not place BitCoin advertising there, just like I do not advertise credit cards there, it is not the aesthetic I desire. An alternative is I point to some obscure help page but that is not an intuitive location to send people, or I could make a BitCoin specific landing page but why should I have to? You should make this as inclusive and easy as possible, the rule should be BitCoins are accepted. I agree with Orbixx on this point, if it can be seen in the check out then what is the issue, BitCoins are accepted (if you were dishonest then adding a BitCoin logo to the landing page is not guaranteeing BitCoin acceptance any more than having it as a payment option during checkout).

			You should be trying to attract as many mainstream merchants and vendors as possible, not making them "tow the party line" with forced BitCoin advertising. Many sites do not market their payment methods on their main pages, we do not. [[User:Sventhebarbarian\|Sven The Barbarian]] ([[User talk:Sventhebarbarian\|talk]]) 05:33, 24 September 2013 (GMT)
