Moving to hive

OK I see a lot of potential here, but this overview brings to mind many questions... Everyone these days is looking for ROI and I am wondering if there is any thru DELI. But I see great potential for sellers and buyers.

Small e-packet items from China are dirt cheap to send, apparently. Not sure about other parts of the world, but I shipped several 1 oz silver rounds and top charge was $15 but most of that was for customs on valuable items, precious metals. Craft and clothing type items should have lower tax and customs and therefore shipping, provided the weight is not excessive.

Holy shit, this sounds amazing :)

Global shipping can get very expensive - but this likes an incredible initiative - artists and craftspeople will be able to sell their work to other steemians, and further to that; it adds huge utility to the Steem Blockchain.

It is truly becoming a decentralised Internet platform, as opposed to just a blogging chain!

The possibility of gaining some "flower power" via this store is very intriguing.
How will that issue be addressed for us residing in areas where "flower power" usage is frowned upon?

Hm, just one question. Why need decentralized? I mean, its pretty good, if i want to sell drugs or guns or fake identities, but for shoes or phones, you know... too much effort.
No offense, no sarcasm, im really curious.

First off, this project isnt set up as a place for people to sell illegal items like Silk Road or anything. Everything that is posted is on the blockchain and is public, so it would be pretty stupid in my opinion to try and do anything illegal like that.

It really isnt that much effort for someone to post shoes or other items for sale either. The items in the picture were just to give ideas on what can be sold, which is basically anything you want to. Our goal is to empower the seller and give them the ability to be the owner of their own store on the blockchain. That is not possible in all areas of the world prior to a decentralized shop system like this. There are many hoops and fees associated with operating stores on sites such as Ebay, Amazon, Etsy and similar sites. With dStors, none of that.

Thanks for your answer!
I dont want to sell any illegal, so my question was actually simple curiosity :) Btw if you think about it, the most of the criminals arent so smart :D

So not the decentralization the big thing, but the fee-less operating is. And the fee-less thing, right now, the steem blockchain. Good idea, imho.

Hey, @derangedvisions.

This idea is not a deranged vision at all, but an idea whose time has come. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works. Not sure what I have yet to sell, but I still like the idea. What about digital downloads, say for ebooks or software? Is that a part of this? I hope I didn't miss that option in your post here.

Good luck with Steemfest. I hope it goes well with you there with the round table and that it results in many positive things for you and your business.

You can sell whatever you want in your store. It is yours. That is the beauty of this. Here is another more in depth post about the whole project from the main creator @kaliju:

that's a good find! I was recently wondering - when someone would make any such - and there it is! thanks for sharing.

now, this what I've been talking about - that STEEM coint price boost could be achieved though such usage in real life. (apart from trading it on exchanges)

although have to see how it's gonna be practically successful. because there are already quite a few decentralized stores blockchain based - and so far not much trade is going on there.

well, might as well try these Dstors - why not? :)

perhaps the main issue is : how and where the goods listed there are gonna be promoted, would platform itself assist user in SEO or each person would have to do it himself?
