Looking for open source webshop software

#1 Post by Dromeno »

Just recently I became aware how easy it is to maintain a website in puppy linux which is physically located on a puppy computer, so you do not need to rent webspace at a provider. The machine needs to be online all the time of course, the website gets a weird url and you have to protect it better than a normal web browsing machine (because script kiddies are always oon the lookout for easy servers to host their malware) but these problems are not unsolvable.

So... wat I would like to have in puppy is a kind of pplog / pe_plog which works as a webshop. Preferably bitcoin and/or other currency enabeld (so you are not only self sufficient for the server, but you can also do without paypal and the like).

One totally open source webshop program which I have found is this:

http://www.prestashop.com/
it even has a bitcoin module:

As possible bitcoin alternative for small communities
is cclite. It works on a radically different principle than bitcoin, namely the bater concept of Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS), which has the incredible benefit that a community can create their own money out of nothing (disadvantage: it is not that easy as with bitcoin to convert LETS money into real world money).

But ccLite even is written in perl, it has a very puppyan look&feel. URL is here:

So ehhhm, is there anybody here who likes to add a prestashop (or other if there is a better one) webshop with bitcoin in puppy and/or the possibility to create a LETS circle with hiawatha and pplog?
