Its dev team is incredibly active. It runs on the blockchain - completely decentralized and no need to keep your node running. It is adding awesome updates like escrow, USD integration, etc. It's ALREADY integrated shapeshift for quick payment in multiple popular currencies!

Also, there is a passthru service at:

but nxt is deaded and a scam and hashes don't match and buy my shitcoin

/Taunsew

what the story with Taunsew anyways? what coin is he trying to promote?

He's in NEM, but generally just hates on NXT.  I guess he missed the IPO, but hey so did I.  A winner is a winner though, you can't stop the signal.   8)

Oh yeah...he's so "persistent", I'm getting reduced to posting this meme:

OP speaks the truth, title is spot on.

But does this mean 'people' are only interested in decentralized market places if drugs/guns/etc are for sale? What is stopping Freemarket taking off?

Answers on a postcard, seems a knotty problem.

From an incentive standpoint, those kinds of people are the ones who'd be most interested in a marketplace that can't be shut down. Lower fees aren't the killer feature that many hope for, as eBay's high fees go with its huge network effect plus "Trust and Safety." The sad fact is, a lot of eBay clones have been launched and virtually all of them have failed for the same reason: no buyers to speak of. Sad but true.

nxt is premined, java shitcoin

You already got your shit pushed in with the responses below Taunsew I mean Iscamscammers.  Are you that dense?

Still java,  still premined,  still shitcoin.

 >:(

forgot one


So they used the best tool for the job (and secure despite your ignorance), and you protest.


lol

I get infected when I have java installed.

All java fault!

So that's what your bugaboo is! How'd it happen?

Before Nxt's oldest troll interrupted, we almost had a conversation going on the above.

Any thoughts?

Yes drugs&guns are the main drive for decentralized markets, at least in the beginning. In order to attract a larger userbase you need to make it very very simple to use, with slick UI and all the features in place.
 
Freemarket is the most advanced decentralized market at this time but why are people surprised of the low volume? I would be very surprised if it were already a success! It still lacks both the features that draw in blackmarkets (mainly privacy, coinshuffling for Nxt is still in the works) and those that draw in everyday users (prices pegged to USD/EUR, escrow, arbitration and reputation). Beside that you still need to download Nxt and its blockchain, then run Freemarket in another window. The UI is functional but lame. At this time it's too much hassle for too little reward!

Also the marketing has been virtually non-existant, expecially in comparison with the exposure that OpenBazaar seems to receive for free. I suppose this has been deliberate and the devs will ramp it up once all the remaining features are in place. I believe that once that is done Freemarket will be a success, I hodl a good number of FM assets because the price is still a bargain.

Interesting about Openbazaar, they seem to believe that it will demolish Ebay on account of it being decentralized and cheaper...



etc..

It seems for ordinary items people prefer centralized, safe places for now and are willing to pay for it.

Fair point about the user friendliness, I guess the devs are aware? Blackyblack1 is usually switched on.

I can only wish them good luck. :)

User friendliness is the top priority for sure.

Privacy features are postponed intentionally. We want FreeMarket to be strong enough when it faces legal and trafficking issues.

The only way that OpenBazaar (or any other decentralized market) can dream to put a dent into Ebay is by making it as easy to use as using eMule or Bittorrent  :D  those should be the reference point

I think the answer is obvious.

nxt shopping network (think qvc)
nxt overstock
nxt woot


We need webpages, youtube, hulu, etc, that detail honest listings. Use the freemarket as the back-end and create a much dumbed down user interface

We need spokespersons like Billy.  Billy!!! Where you at? There's products that need to be sold...

Contests for the best salesperson, maybe they get a small %


How can we expect the masses to buy when we haven't told them what they CAN buy.

marketing marketing marketing....woot woot woot

Other opportunities. 

Maybe backpage could use freemarket place?

Maybe there could be a backpage style wrapper that uses nxt and freemarketplace

This is worth thinking about.

NXT Freemarket is indeed the best decentralized market solution by now. it only lacks on less buyers and sellers.

eBay does add value in the form of a moderation service. Generally it favours the buyer, so you can buy with some confidence that you will get what you paid for, or your money back. That's important. Even the Silk Road was moderated, I gather (I never used it myself). The Nxt marketplace has nothing like that. It doesn't even have a formal reputation system. I'm not even sure if phased transactions help with third-party escrow. So it's far from a complete marketplace solution.

FreeMarket has core ready for escrow processing. UI comes to be a bit complicated when escrow is active and some edge cases require additional testing so we decided to release coinoUSD payments first.
