Talk:Trade

Proposed Listing Standards

I propose the following standards be required for listing on the [Trade]. The listed site must

1. Be currently functional (downtime of less than 48 hours is acceptable)
2. Be currently accepting bitcoins
3. Have clear instructions for paying with bitcoins from the link given
4. Prices must be sane (non-sane prices indicate that the website has not been updated to match bitcoin deflation)

The standards will help keep the list manageable and easy to use.

This is a talk page, so please sign your contributions. I mostly agree, but the "sane prices" criterion seems a bit subjective ; there is a risk that we exclude goodwilling merchants, who would otherwise be willing to update their prices when contacted. ThomasV 10:43, 12 February 2011 (GMT)
