Is this something you intend to run longterm as an actual service, or is this just a demo from the hackathon to go along with the github repo? Was the name similarity to Silk Road intentional? When you say "sell anything," are you attempting to lure out the displaced users from that service? If so, I'd strongly advise you reconsider.
I'm not entirely sure where I'll take the project. It's currently just a proof-of-concept.
Bitroad was created for the Virtual Piggy 2013 hackathon. The prompt was to create something that solves a problem for youth. I created Bitroad to let kids without bank accounts sell stuff online (I wanted to sell stuff when I didn't have a bank account, but there was nothing out there that let me). The name similarity to the underground Silk Road is purely coincidental and will likely be changed in the future. We don't condone the transfer of illicit entities.
zachlatta, where are you based? I'd like to talk more.
As a suggestion, I think you should consider clarifying that this is not another Silk Road. The name suggests that :)
