All right, time to set up a shop in there. How does Open-Bazaar profit there anyway?

And does my store go offline when I close open-bazaar?

I have no idea how they profit. some said that they're going to open up some services on top of OpenBazaar, but I'm not seeing anything like that.


yeah. looks like it.

Downloading now (in a sandbox) just to see what the fuss was about. I see they have a moderated payment options there which is having an escrow in between. More here: https://openbazaar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207548366

Point to take note of:

Maybe you will be able to choose your escrow agent in the future?

Great stuff, I hope OpenBazaar live up to the hype and the expectation of the many people who waited for it for months. I had a look at it during the beta testing phase and I also configured an account. Things looked very promissing, but I am also worried about the mods rendering the escrow and not people already trusted in the community, doing it now. ^hmmmmm^

Good news for BTC and a specially good for future escrows
P2P shopping, I wonder how it will correlate with law in some countries
forbidding p2p? Is it going to be banned?
To bad there is no browser client as of yet. Cant it be done in browser?

Was about time this got released. People were psyched about it 2 years ago and then it started going slow. The time does seem to have had an impact on its impact, as bitcoin price rose only a couple of dollars on introduction.

Will be interesting to watch this one play out. I guess a lot of people have been waiting for something like this. As long as the userbase grows fast and the scams remain within bounds, it has a shot imo.

Anyone planning on selling something there?

Thanks for the direct link to download as it looks as if their site where the download is sourced had a lot of traffic earlier as I could not connect. Well appreciated from here! 

It has been so long awaited! Glad it's finally live.

I played around with it in the testnet stage. I like the layout and the decentralized nature.

It seems inevitable that questionable stuff will be sold on OB. There is no way to moderate that. Taking that into consideration, I can't see myself opening a shop to sell stuff I have around the house, alongside people selling child porn or human trafficking. Until I see that content can be moderated, I think I'll stick to selling on Purse.io

I wouldn't say that it is a flaw, but I do see potential situations in which this could end badly.

Why would you even suspect that? It is open source.

There's nothing wrong with that and I have no idea why you should let it affect you. Just ignore it.
