This is awesome :)
In the UK you have to pay 20% VAT on Silver purchases though :( How're you handling that?

Easy: crypto is not considered a currency. It is considered property. You are not purchasing silver. Instead, you are bartering for it. Different rules apply.

Way to make things happen Gentso1!

Do you have any idea as to the obstacles there are to providing this service in South American counties? The land of silver could really use some bitSilver.

I am finding that each country presents its own unique obstacles, with that being said we will support the above countries at launch and work to add as many as legally possible.

Awesome! Is this something you're personally building, or a business partnership you've been developing as a BitShares delegate?

Both :)

We have to respect the laws of every  location that we ship to, all package contents are noted with the shipper for tracking and insurance purposes.

I am proud to formally announce that work has begun on the first site to convert a bitasset to its physical form: cryptosmith.info


The goal of Cryptosmith is simple, leverage Bitsilver's pegging against is real world counterpart for physical redeem-ability. This will site will act as a exit ramp only and will serve to show every merchant out their what can be done with bitasset's. While our competitor's want to "help" you hold your precious metals at the cost of storage fees and added counter-party risk, our goal is to get your precious metals to you safely and quickly.

When a user visit's our site they can expect a pure and simple shopping experience. From your product selection, to the time your precious metal hits your door rest assured that you are in good hands. As such all packages are tracked, insured and signature confirmation is required.


At launch we are pleased to announce shipping to the following countries:
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Hong Kong SAR China
Iceland
Ireland
Isle of Man
Israel
Japan
Luxembourg
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Portugal
Romania
Singapore
South Africa
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Thailand
United Kingdom
United States
Vatican city


We would like to offer gold as well and are looking into it, for now I would like to leave it at that.

At Cryptosmith we proud to say we only accept bitasset's, no fiat, no Bitcoin, no Alts.

Stay tuned to this thread for updates as they come and remember to support https://bitsharesblocks.com/delegates/delegate?name=delegate.verbaltech
