Hi @Shopstr Markets I would like to report a bug.

I created some items as a seller (bitcoin butlers) to sell self custody tools on your marketplace. You can see my items here as an example:

https://shopstr.market/listing/Coldcard-Q-%E2%80%94-Coinkites-Flagship-Bitcoin-Signing-Device

I go into a incognito window, sign up as a new account as a buyer, I go to buy this item:

https://shopstr.market/listing/Seed-Picker-Cards-%E2%80%94-Physical-BIP-39-Word-Selection

It shows me the lightning QR, I pay it with Bull Bitcoin - transaction ID: 06483abc8ec71128f8acf958bcdbfd3d70b9ebf329aa39d3dc2db6a2eea6920f

I then see this message:

Error
Your payment was received but delivery to the seller timed out. Your sats have been credited to your wallet — please try the order again.

I click the wallet tab, so I can see my sats that have supposedly been accredited, I get this error:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading shopstr.market (see the browser console for more information).

So I go to the console and see this:

X @ 3xsi931sp_qre.js:1Understand this error
3xsi931sp_qre.js:1 A client-side exception has occurred, see here for more info: https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/client-side-exception-occurred

The t.amount.toNumber is not a function error means Shopstr's wallet UI is choking on the price format. My listings publish price as a string (e.g. "29.99") and Shopstr's code is calling .toNumber() on it expecting a BigNumber object.

Can you please a) help me recover the 50k sats approx b) help me fix whatever issue is going on with my account so I can reliably use your services?

What more information would you like?

Replied to you on X as well! But if you could right-click -> inspect element -> select the storage tab in the console window -> open up the local storage for the website -> see if there are any wallet recovery or token items. DM any of that information (or lack thereof) so we cab assist, don't post ...

Today I was lucky enough to catch up with two friends, @FractalEncrypt and @Max

Fractal gave some really useful information pertaining to content structure, tools and flows, while also clarifying some details about Slip 39 and codex32, I have some fun coding tasks to hopefully get the codex32 details from Bails integrated into Sparrow and into SeedSigner. That will be fun learning making those pull requests. I'm going to put one of the codex32's on Fractals auction site, so keep some eyes open for that and also check out his website anyway, it's epic:

https://timechainartifacts.com/

Max gave me some insight into the consultation space, a few tips to make a better platform, a few problems to solve which are, thankfully, quite difficult! He also gave me some advice and asked questions about our path forward, how to get there, and thinking about what our total addressable market is. We spoke about white labeling self custody kits and he helped me think through this further on the who and how to go about it. He will be joining our platform in a few weeks, and that will give us some volume and further insight into any pain points.

Max's website is also really cool, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading his & hus recommended content, you should absolutely check it out:

https://towardsliberty.com/

I'm very grateful for my Bitcoiner friends who always are so generous with their time and advice, they give so much value and ask for nothing in return. Truly amazing people and faith in humanity is always restored after speaking with them 😎

This week, we are finishing off the memberships, paid / free content, getting product images up for what we have in inventory and we also got some amazing inventory in the prototype phase in France which will be in stock within 50 days. We created a new block style system for content creation, where Butlers can add products from our store and get commission for any product added to cart, or bought directly, from their content. We also added CRM linking, which needs to be tested, but now I'm glad we didn't get too far in that area as I want to use better FOSS tooling and will look at Next Cloud and Oodo before going to far in the wrong direction.



Coming up, I will be working on the calendar system - how do I have it so the calendar works both ways, not just us pushing data to their linked calendar, but if they have updated calendars, how do their clients get notified with tame changes, or cancelations, in a privacy focused way where no third party gets access to all of the Butlers calendar? Is it even possible?

I'll also be tweaking the UTM system so the Butler can give master concierge links, or just links more broadly, to people who will work on client acquisition and get paid for the conversion. We currently have it set up for the Butler only to do that, so it should be a light lift.

We spoke about white labelling the whole platform as a service, which was what I was wanting to do for my Personal Trainer friend once I have ironed out all the kinks.. I'm considering whether to go the private route or to consider open sourcing it if I could land funding via opensats or HRF, or maybe I just put it on Geyser? Either way, I need traction first and to iron out all the kinks, so that's a down the line problem to solve. First things first, PoW to get all this content up and provide Butlers the tools they need to succeed.

Lastly, I will also be looking at adding other peoples E-commerce store, so it can be a drop down to switch between stores, and so that the Butler can add their products as a block in our blocked content system. I suspect it will be too much to do this, and will open ourselves up to too much technical debt, but we shall see.

For friends who have known me for a long time and know what I am building, this is where I will ask you to drop a review of what I am making. Can be character / biz or both referenced.

I'm not going to deal with Trust Pilot (who wanted to change over $3000, per month) or anything like that, to have someone let bots troll and then have to deal with their bs to dispute and potentially get deplatformed. Seeking permission is seeking denial.

Thank you in advanced, NYKNYC!

Awesome service run by a great bitcoiner. Check it out!!

Third-party review sites have turned into rent-seeking intermediaries: high monthly fees, zero signal-to-noise control, bot manipulation, and the constant threat of arbitrary moderation or deplatforming. That model doesn’t produce trust, it commoditizes it.

What stands out with bitcoin butlers is their nuanced grasp of Bitcoin; everything from safe self‑custody and backup strategies to spotting threats and picking the best tools. Straightforward, reliable advice makes them a top‑notch Bitcoin guidance!

Kiwi is a chad. Known him for many many years, since before bitcoin community fragmented and got all retarded. This is a much needed product. Looking forward to watching you build it mate 🤝

I think this is a cool project and it brings a clearer and more transparent way to helping people with the important task of going self-custodial. Clear pricing + custom concierge builder = awesome.
