Title: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on June 12, 2015, 06:59:40 PM I start this topic for discussion related to FreeBazaar.
FreeBazaar is fork of OpenBazaar with Monero (XMR) support GitHub: https://github.com/freebazaar/FreeBazaar/ What done up to date: - XMR integration - Payments with payment_id - fixes of some bugs in OB - communication with Monero daemon. What To-Do: - delete multisig escrow from process - work with OB-dev team to integrate XMR into main project, if possible convince to make the code BTC-independence (currently BTC is very hardcoded). Contacted with Sam Patterson from OB. From my side was mistake that I have closed group where posted updates. From now I will make it here. OpenBazaar raized 1M$ from investors. So I think they will speed up with development process. I follow all commits, and I fix they for right work with monero. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: QuantumQrack on June 12, 2015, 07:36:16 PM So this project is to integrate XMR with OpenBazaar, correct? Or is it to fork OpenBazaar to a completely separate codebase that supports XMR?
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on June 12, 2015, 07:42:30 PM So this project is to integrate XMR with OpenBazaar, correct? Or is it to fork OpenBazaar to a completely separate codebase that supports XMR? At first stage just integrate XMR into OpenBazaar as fork "FreeBazaar". On the second if it possible, commit all into OpenBazaar. If not (because BTC is very hardcoded, OB-dev may decline it) then it will be parallel/separate XMR-Bazaar. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: QuantumQrack on June 12, 2015, 07:46:58 PM Well, thank you for your work on this project and I wish you the best of success! By the way, you may want to post a donation address (maybe escrow type, I'm not sure), and remember, community need regular update, even if just to say, "Hi, still working on it". ;D
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: MR1 on June 12, 2015, 07:56:50 PM @Atrides
What do you mean by "delete escrow from process" ? XMR based OB will not have escrow service? Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: medusa13 on June 12, 2015, 08:02:05 PM monero can not perform multisig until now. but research is done in this direction and its on the list somewhere i guess.
however, escrow is possible without multisig, but need a trusted party Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on June 12, 2015, 08:13:59 PM monero can not perform multisig until now. but research is done in this direction and its on the list somewhere i guess. however, escrow is possible without multisig, but need a trusted party right, I forgot to add "multisig" Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: pa on June 12, 2015, 08:29:00 PM Good to hear you are still working on this project. If you succeed, it will be an important addition to Monero's economy.
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: jdebunt on June 13, 2015, 06:15:35 AM Hope this project succeeds, always good to see more development :)
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: superresistant on June 13, 2015, 08:14:56 AM Now that OpenBazar is hyped in the crypto press. You could possibly get more funding for the FreeBazaar fork. Using Monero instead of Bitcoin is a far superior solution. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: 6strings on June 17, 2015, 05:19:53 PM Best of luck with this.

Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Mountain Jew on June 18, 2015, 07:20:28 PM I'd really like to see one of these decentralised markets that allows the possibility to accept many different alt coins. Maybe people might have a use for all those cannabis coins then ;D. Can't wait for these type of markets to become the norm.

Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: binaryFate on July 08, 2015, 11:01:39 PM The current state of affairs with Atrides' OpenBazaar community-funded project. I am one of the donator to Atrides, who proposed to integrate Monero into OpenBazaar a while back: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg9994963#msg9994963 Being now pretty disapointed with how things well, I want to post about it publicly, and ask for a partial refund of the donations I gave. Here is a (redacted for names only) transcript of the private group of donators, where he was supposed to let us know what was going on. Code: == Wed, Jan 14 == As you can see from the transcript of the "conversation", Atrides claimed to be significantly in touch with openbazaar people. (That is partly what he got the donations for, coding and interacting with them towards integration). End of April, I met Dionysis Zindros (https://blog.openbazaar.org/author/dionyziz/), one of the lead developers of OpenBazaar. He didn't know about Atrides; he didn't know about Monero alltogether. The actual work that was done does not justify the donations received at all. I know that getting familiar with a foreign code base takes time, but still. I did my best to give him a chance, and on behalf of the community to push him gently to move forward. The lack of activity since a month, the latest promise to come back to the community "next week" which was two months ago... I have no patience left. Atrides, I publickly ask you to refund me half of the donations I gave, in which case things will be all good for me (you did a bit of work). Otherwise I will consider that you are dishonest. You can send half of the XMR I donated to this address. Code: 45D2ipTSwN9cNijro1kpw5SwQZmVxFinZdNNcPVpvrgfWvbm4xVmhNfbwy5VcisRkMj2cB4K8jGsjE5zRTcQ53mNJn81tbf So, what exactly happened since this post, Atrides? One more wasted month? Where are my XMRs? I gently asked only half, but I won't forget them. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on July 10, 2015, 11:07:07 AM I don't stop the project and still working, but especially for you I made your request.

Now that you've had a chance familiarize yourself with OpenBazaar, can you describe what needs to be done to make it compatible with XMR and estimate how long it would take to do it? Also, what are the obstacles to completing the project as you initially proposed. Are there technical difficulties? Do you need help?

I remember that there was also more than one complain about the payout of his xmr-pool.

Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: binaryFate on July 17, 2015, 10:06:44 AM He maybe not the one most talky.... but hey he opened this thread when he already could have gone away He opened this thread 1h after I posted this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg11601988#msg11601988 And he shouldn't go away because he has a well-known mining pool running, that keeps generating money. This might be a good reason to drag everything for as long as people have patience... (not saying this is what he does, just that the incentive exists). Now I got refunded what I asked (50% of my donations), and this is none of my business anymore. But folks, my advise: having more patience than me and being delusional are two different things. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: shitaifan2013 on July 21, 2015, 08:26:23 AM so, any news atrides?
at least openbazaar is developing quite fine: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3e1aeb/openbazaar_and_ob1_to_launch_by_thanksgiving_2015/ Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on July 21, 2015, 04:14:56 PM Atrides, Now that you've had a chance familiarize yourself with OpenBazaar, can you describe what needs to be done to make it compatible with XMR and estimate how long it would take to do it?

Best, pa so, any news atrides? at least openbazaar is developing quite fine: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3e1aeb/openbazaar_and_ob1_to_launch_by_thanksgiving_2015/ I will answer together. Yes, I'm still working on it. The main problem in OB is hardcoded bitcoin integration. If they will make it a little expansible, it will be great. But currently state of OB - extremely closed to BTC. My patches integrate XMR support, but it looks like "side/non-main coin". If OB don't want to separate coin-code and market-code, then we have only two ways: 1) keep FB and always update it with OB patches. May be they will accept our patches, but I'm sceptical due to hardcoded BTC. 2) separate branches and have completely own way.

any updates? Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: newb4now on October 08, 2015, 03:08:44 AM 2.5 months later... any updates? Once upon a time this was an exciting project to watch develop Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: dEBRUYNE on October 10, 2015, 09:16:44 PM So with the alledged OpenBazaar release coming up, it would be a good time to provide us with your curren thought regarding the project. If you are not going forward with it, I suggest you just donate the remaining funds to the dev fund or ask your donators what they would want you to do with it.

No he's only saying it will take few days so that what was working before will be working again. You can call this "completing" if you wish, but you'll be the only one.

Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on February 02, 2016, 09:26:08 AM Is this project still alive? Yes, but the code of OpenBazaar v2.0 is completely different from v1.0 and changed continuously before release. So I'll releaze FreeBazaar (XMR-Version) after official release of OB. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: TPTB_need_war on February 02, 2016, 11:41:46 AM So this project is to integrate XMR with OpenBazaar, correct? Or is it to fork OpenBazaar to a completely separate codebase that supports XMR? At first stage just integrate XMR into OpenBazaar as fork "FreeBazaar". On the second if it possible, commit all into OpenBazaar. If not (because BTC is very hardcoded, OB-dev may decline it) then it will be parallel/separate XMR-Bazaar. I suggest you make your fork have an API so it works with any crypto coin. Then if they don't accept your commits, then yours may likely become the dominant fork, assuming you have the resources and skills to carry it forward. Whereas, if you make your code Monero only focused, then it has no wider-scale attractiveness to gain the political support you need. Edit: it also potentially spreads your risk of wasted effort away from 100% dependence on any one outcome.

How would you view the potential of OpenBazaar? I think its potential is very large but so will be the competition. I can't speak to the technical design of that project because I haven't studied it and the devil is usually in the details, e.g. see my comments in the Synereo thread about how a great conceptual idea (decentralized social networks) falls flat on its face in terms of implementation and design strategies pursued thus far. The concept of a decentralized, permissionless Ebay seems to be at least from a superficial perspective, a very important and powerful one. That is why if you want to be a leader for the global community on such then pigeon-holing your effort to only Monero currency support is almost certainly not the winning strategy. If you want to make sure Monero support is in the main fork (and make sure the bindings for Monero work perfectly as that being one of your strong motivations) then I suggest formulating an open API for all currencies and at least also implement bindings to Bitcoin so your commits are more likely accepted in the main fork or your fork becomes the most popular. Any way, that is my 2 cents from the peanut gallery because my head is not deep in that project so I may be unaware of certain facts. An API for cross-currency support also makes one think about how to make the API most general, which allows for Monero to change in the future and only the bindings need to change. You all know these design principles. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: HeroCat on February 03, 2016, 03:04:49 PM Well, yes Monero have future.

What's the problem with a trading/marketplace platform? This one is at least a p2p stuff, so perhaps we can avoid exchanges (in many cases) in the future. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Shrikez on March 02, 2016, 06:19:32 PM It would be a big step forward if the OP kept us in the loop about his intentions, seeing we contributed a sizeable number of Moneroj towards its development.
But I guess he is too busy counting his Dwarfpool fees from all the ETH craze.

looks like it is finished.... any news or ETA atrides? Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Posum578 on April 05, 2016, 09:58:52 AM Maybe it is wise to wait for the OpenBazaar to be a successful operation before we adopt it in FreeBazaar?
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Dotto on April 08, 2016, 12:18:35 AM The TPTB design strategie is the sound one. It could receive funds from other coins as well... potentially from all coins in fact.
I guess once OB grows it will accept all kind of coins, as it is the logical way. To be limited to BTC only doesn´t make that sense. In the meantime, shapeshift can be useful Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: papa_lazzarou on April 08, 2016, 11:19:44 AM Maybe it is wise to wait for the OpenBazaar to be a successful operation before we adopt it in FreeBazaar? The major problem I see there is what would Atrides do with the several thousand Monero that he received from the community to fund this project? Disclaimer: I am bitching about it despite the fact that I did NOT contribute.

Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: DaveyJones on April 23, 2016, 05:49:43 PM Pushing again... Atrides so whats up ?

Disclaimer: I am bitching about it despite the fact that I did NOT contribute. It looks like he could care less. I'd recommend at least boycotting his pool, and if it was my cash he stole I'd be bringing it up in his pool thread. But like you Papa I ain't got no dog in this fight. :) Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Atrides on April 28, 2016, 07:06:29 PM As I said, I'll look at the code and adopt my changes that already done for old OB and equal to budget.
I don't need to stole some coins. If community think that somebody can make it quicker, I can transfer to him the rest of coins after work minus some small amount for my old work. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: dnaleor on June 27, 2016, 11:28:22 PM If I recall correctly, I donated 100 XMR to you.
I don't blame you for trying, but in retrospect, we should have used the Forum Funding System. You would have gotten funds for trying to study the code etc, but when you hit some roadblocks funding would have stopped. Imho you don't deserve 100% of those coins you crowdfunded. I know I can't force you but if you want me to not feel bad about you, please refund 50% (i.e. 50 XMR) to my openalias address (dnaleor.weuse.cash) edit: I donated 100 XMR indeed; see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg10061053#msg10061053 Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: entertheabyss on June 28, 2016, 12:07:20 AM this would be a great project once monero finishes i2p integration
iirc open bazzar mentioned the possibility of running over i2p as well as they use UDP and cant run over tor however as they are positioned go more and more mainstream i suspect this will be sidelined Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: aminorex on July 08, 2016, 02:39:54 AM I donated 100 XMR I did as well, and also would consider it a fair cop if I got back 50 - which I would then double and contribute to an FFS project seeking similar ends. Is Atrides amenable to such an outcome? Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: dnaleor on July 08, 2016, 12:07:09 PM I got 50 XMR back when I send him a PM requesting a 50% refund.
I want to publicly state that I'm willing to donate these 50 XMR a FFS Free Bazaar project. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: sakinaka on July 08, 2016, 08:16:17 PM If that was not Monero, maybe I would have like it, but some guys disgusted me of that crypto-currency even before looking into it...
Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: smoothie on July 08, 2016, 08:41:36 PM If that was not Monero, maybe I would have like it, but some guys disgusted me of that crypto-currency even before looking into it... Using this logic is somewhat flawed. Just because you don't like someone who uses a particular currency is (to me) not a good enough reason to ignore the technological fundamentals backing such a currency. Do you not use certain fiat currencies because you dont like a particular political party, politician, person, race, country? If people didnt want to use Bitcoin because of Mark Karpeles and Mtgox then that would be the equivalent to ignoring the technological fundamentals and looking purely on the surface.

The first contact that I had with this community was very harassing guys, and since many people had the same, I thought that everyone there was like that. I've never saw anyone creating a thread talking about why Monero was so good... Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Febo on July 08, 2016, 09:24:04 PM I've never saw anyone creating a thread talking about why Monero was so good... If you want to find you what coins are about i suggest you to read ANN threads. And just ask what you would like to know. I started following Monero exactly because community was super helpful on IRC and also here on this forum. since you're 2 years here is a bit strange to me you hadn't noticed that there are few guys that made lots of accounts and opening threads on this forum claiming how superior Monero is and they are. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Hueristic on July 08, 2016, 10:30:27 PM I've never saw anyone creating a thread talking about why Monero was so good... I find this very hard to believe, I see questions always answered promptly and friendly in the main thread (sans the one i'm in now:) ). Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: bbc.reporter on September 04, 2016, 09:38:35 AM That is funny! ;D The recent development of Monero and price rise should motivate Atrides to speed things up with Freebazaar. This could be the next frontier for darknet market merchants to sell their items. Maybe running it behind Tor or IPFS might be a good idea. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: dinofelis on September 04, 2016, 10:28:43 AM Honestly, in as much as I think that a monero version of openbazaar is a very good idea (it would even be better on I2P), as long as monero has no multisig, this is a useless thing in my mind.
The whole point of openbazaar is that you can use multisig escrow. Otherwise, you can just have your hidden service on TOR or your webpage on I2P, announcing your stuff. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: pastapaska on September 04, 2016, 10:52:10 AM Is bitcoin for OpenBazaar done or just hype? Maybe this FreeBazaar is also hype, target to pump Monero price? :D

Multisig is coming soon with RingCT. BTW, I requested and received a 50% refund of my donation about a month ago. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: Munti on September 04, 2016, 03:58:32 PM Are you guys aware that monero is able to use BitBay's marketplace?
You will need Bay for the double deposit escrow, but payment can be in monero. If you prefer traditional escrow services, you can do that too. Then you only need enough Bay to cover anti spam fees.

This one doesn't exist. It is a project with minimal progress, long since stalled. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: antw081 on April 12, 2017, 02:27:50 PM As I said, I'll look at the code and adopt my changes that already done for old OB and equal to budget. I don't need to stole some coins. If community think that somebody can make it quicker, I can transfer to him the rest of coins after work minus some small amount for my old work. Atrides, its been 2 years since you raised funds for FreeBazaar. I think it is pretty clear to everyone you are not working on this anymore. As a donor to this project, may I suggest the funds raised (minus what amount you think is fair for the effort you put in so far) be donated to the general development fund. Title: Re: FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero Post by: boltz on April 12, 2017, 02:39:23 PM What happened with open bazaar ? Still there ?

As I read some people gt their donation back. What happened with open bazaar ? Still there ? Open bazaar still exist just goggle it. Monero dont have multisignature that is needed on Open bazaar. That will be ready soon. |
