Ask HN: Selling virtual goods for bitcoins, what do I need?

3 points by pkhamre 13y ago ↗ HN

I have a simple idea that I want to create a website for buyers and sellers of virtual goods (in-game currency) for bitcoins.

What do I need to learn to get something like this up and running? I'm fairly good at Ruby and I know basic Javascript.

Your biggest roadblock will be trust, not technology. Players will have a hard time trusting you or each other without some existing reputation.
