I bought a beanie from nostr:nprofile1qqspd02uap9euad07q8sd4clj3n7vtdr3qf3drdy3w8wk6aduhae8ycpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghxyarr0f5zuarh9uhjfv9q but to be fair I used her notes more than the actual marketplace listings.
That is understandable i wish it whould have like a review pages or something to kinda see how much activity there is as a curious guy lol
No, but I've sold coffee. Still trying to sell shoes 😅 I probably would have bought by now if there were more listings. But I buy so little stuff online that it's probably going to be a while before I see something that I actually want or need.
I seem to recall someone actually selling something. A watch, I believe. Tho I can't remember who. I think part of the problem is that getting to the marketplace isn't intuitive. I also believe posted items should appear in people's regular feeds from time to time. It's an "out of sight, out of mind" situation.
They do when you first publish a listing, so it falls on the seller to keep boosting
I think it makes sense to randomly insert marketplace events into users' feeds for as long as they remain active. I feel like that's something that should be done at the client level, as opposed to sellers continuously re-broadcasting. That method is also more courteous to the relays.
I could see that being opt in, but I don't think I would like that very much personally. Again, I don't buy much though.
I agree on the client side thank you for adding to the convo i didnt really think beyond my question
Collaboration is how you get the best ideas, and strategies for improvement!
Since the marketplace is an Amethyst-specific feature, it makes sense that promoting entries would be a client-level function. Almost like another layer of the Amethyst feeds. Such a system would reduce the necessary coding, and I believe make implementation easier. And the end result would be more eyes on active marketplace listings, and increased value for Amethyst. I think it's a good upgrade all around. And since it wouldn't require sellers to repeatedly re-broadcast their listing, it would also reduce bandwidth consumption, and strain on relay servers.
Let's bring nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug into the discussion and see what he has to say, since he's the one who ultimately does the work! He's also got great ideas and may have a perspective that none of us normies have considered.
I've purchased via Shopstr, which uses the same listings.
My daughter has also sold a couple of her yarn creations on there.
