Bitcoin Forum

It is the first time I heard about Decentralized Marketplace at first I thought it was like a DEX but I see some cart right there, I will download it later to get a better look. This could be huge in the future. I vote for Video/movie sharing I haven't seen a Dapp like that it is interesting but I already encountered  DEX, P2P forum/chat. Anyways I haven't read their whitepaper and other details. where is this "Particl" running in? Ethereum, EOS or they have their own blockchain?

Particl is built on latest BTC core codebase but has it's own smart contracts, this is where cold staking comes from (Invented by particl team) I suggest poking around our Wiki a little https://particl.wiki/start you will find guides and such there for setting up marketplace https://particl.wiki/tutorial/market/start?s[]=marketplace < that is the guide you will need to set up marketplace (this will become easier in future for now it is purposely made difficult so users need read guide and no coins are lost etc.)

Nice choice also I agree Video/movie sharing could be really cool  8) ofc it would be governed just like marketplace and users would vote off undesirable content.. and basically the marketplace could be tweaked to get the Dapp built in half the time it took marketplace to build ;) it's all there just need to adjust marketplace layout to make it more suitable for a movie/video sharing app but pretty much everything else would be same as marketplace such as voting/flagging procedures.. I don't think this would be hard at all.. or take a long time to make a reality.. only issue is storage but there are solutions being looked into for this problem and I suspect in the near future it will no longer be a problem.

A mobile marketplace would be awesome and I would hope that is the next cab off the rank.

I hear mobile marketplace will be sort of like a lite client, it will connect to an outside node to fast sync so you won't have to wait hours and use up shitloads of data to get online, also had some community members express to me the desire to build something similar to wickr so encrypted chat but would run a market node and help support network and would allow you to browse open market listings as well as private markets by entering what I guess you would call a "view key" to access the private market and view it's products/services, I do agree Mobile marketplace first, But it's interesting to know what some might like to see next after this  :)

Are DAPPS really popular? dont know anybody who use it

I am assuming you speak of the project called DAPPS? I would have no idea TBH this is a different project to ours and I don't really follow their development. Particl the project I represent is also a Dapp platform but the Dapps are privacy/security focused in nature, the marketplace being the first of these Dapps to be built on our chain.

Encrypted chat feature

Sportsbetting book

Blackjack / simple casino games

#HugoApp is an app devoted to real social shares in a sense of social responsibility. The process of creation considers the venom of today's technology, which keeps people away in its real-life happiness, using it as an anti-venom.

I added new option to the poll "other" since it seems many have Idea I did not list. those are some great ideas! especially the sports betting/Blackjack! I know a few blokes who would love something like this where they are in Asia where betting /gambling is highly illegal.  8)

Affected by the virus in China, people donated money in various ways. In this donation, the Chinese Red Cross questioned and people did not trust it. I think that encryption technology and blockchain technology can be used in donations, open, and everyone can see the ledger. I think the next possible application will be related to charity.

The idea of a P2P donations platform is really nice! IMO this fits perfectly with the projects "Modus operandi" I have actually thought about this a little bit, wouldn't it be nice to have a charity platfrom where existing or new charities could set up a profile. The catch would be that your profile would be tied to a reputation and that reputation would be calculated by the transparency of the charity or organization. For example a charity/organization could choose to have a hidden balance or a auditable balance they could make auditable all transaction coming in or out or they could hide it all, It's up to them, but this would all effect their reputation level on the Dapp.. the more transparent you are the higher your reputation score.

Further more it would be ideal to have some form of "proof of purchase" feature where a charity/organization would attach receipts and or photo proof of purchase which would then be voted on by Users of the dapp for verification, this could even possibly be incentivized in some ways awarding users for voting/verification of the "proof of purchase" which if verified would again add to the reputation level of the charity or organization. Basically the more transparent and the more proof of purchase given the more reputation earned. The point of all this being and the purpose is to help legitimate charities who actually want to help people stand out from the untrustworthy charities/organizations who are out to profit.

There is no reason not to be transparent if you are doing the right thing so the higher the rep the higher the chances your money is going in the right places..

Now it would be even more interesting to combine this "transparency driven charity Dapp" with decentralized crowdfunding.. it came to my awareness a few years back that there are actually companies running tours for people who want to go to for example Africa and teach English and volunteer for different things building wells/schools etc these people are paying for these tours with their own hard earned money, saving up and working and then taking vacation from work to actually get on a plane and do the ground work.. why can't we build a dapp that not only keeps the big charities more honest by encouraging transparency but at the same time build a platform to empower individual philanthropists and crowdfund them/sponsor them to do the good work they seek to do? I would much rather give $30 a month to an individual who I can follow their progress and see the difference I helped make on a personal level.. we could connect this all to video sharing/streaming dapps/ social media dapps.. I can see a brand new way we can help people help people with ideas like this!

Great suggestion, and something I would love to see our platform used for :D So great to find like minded people who want to use this technology for something more then making bank. thanks!
  

Any updates mate? did you end up downloading marketplace and testing it? If so would love to hear your opinions/critiques/suggestions on your experience.

I'm very impressed with the particl market place. Very nice implementation. Nice to finally have a working, usable dapp in the crypto space.

Looks good, my first time to see a decentralized marketplace. I haven't thought about it since most of the marketplace needs to be centralized. I voted for social media platform as I'm really intrigued if it can work through decentralized model and if blockchain can handle large amount of transactions/events like facebook or twitter.

Hey thanks for your feedback on the our marketplace Dapp! If you have time please check out our 2020 roadmap if you have not already :) (It's insanely good)

Takes a lot of pre-thought and planning to create anything decentralized especially a marketplace, but team pulled it off! there is still a few things like reputation system that are on roadmap for this year but have not made their way to mainnet, but these key features that are needed are noted and on the way.

As for social media network I too would love to see this built, was just talking to a friend yesterday about the advantages of p2p privacy focused social media, this person in particular uses social media only to keep in touch with family living long distances away and enjoys sharing photos of her children with her grandparents/parents etc but does not want anyone else being able to stalk her photos.. basically she wants to know and choose exactly who can see what she shares with her family.. and with privacy focused P2P social media.. I see this becoming a reality!

Great suggestions! and thanks for the feedback!

Is this a decentralized privacy platform? I mean is the platform data distributed (or decentralized) around the world? I looked through your post for the word decentralized or decentralization but didn't see any. I wonder what the word Dapp stand for in your own case: "Decentralized" Applications? What currency/currencies will be used on the platform/dapps?
Well, I think crypto applications should be properly built to prevent all kinds of abuses or misuses. Alot of really important decentralization-friendly features need to be put in place first to keep the platform and users very safe.

This is a Peer to peer platform built on latest bitcoin core all market data and communication is encrypted and distributed between nodes via our SMSG system https://particl.wiki/learn/market/smsg Yes in the context I used the word Dapp I would be speaking of a "Decentralized application" Our dapps unlike the Dapps you might think of when you think etherum dapps, are just apps that are built on top of the particl platform and it's p2p structure, no new coins are minted when a Dapp is made or anything like that, each dapp uses the native Token/coin PART. PART is a privacy coin at heart, built on latest bitcoin core and always updated in sync with core https://particl.wiki/learn/bitcoin-codebase it uses a custom build of Ringct/bullets protocol built in house by particl's full time cryptographer tecnovert (here you can find code audit of our ringct/bullets >https://blog.quarkslab.com/tag/bulletproof.html)

Particl platform also has no admins/moderators or anything like this. Each network supporter(staker) has voting rights and they can flag or vote on a flagged listing to have it removed but that decision is ultimately determined by network consensus.this is early stages of this system but we have many ideas including incentivizing the voting and flagging of listings in a fair manner that is fairly abuse proof and would encourage speedy resolution and removal of anything community felt unfit to be available on the network (weapons,Hit-men for hire etc).

This is the real deal private,decentralized,governed by the people,project/platform and true Anarchism IMO! now we get to prove to the world that anarchism can work and it's not about breaking windows and burning things it's about people being responsible enough to not need a centralized entity to keep "Order". We have just recently attended Liberty forum just this last week https://twitter.com/CryptoRamble/status/1224737724151881740 and will also be at Porcfest 2020 showcasing our platform and it's first signature privacy Dapp our marketplace  8)  Hope to see you there sir!

So the platform is a blockchain, very close to the Bitcoin. On top of this is a decentralsied messaging system (smsg) based on Bitmessage. At some point in the near future their will be a software library to allow users to build all kinds of services on this platform.

The first implementation the particl team have built (as a kind of proof of concept for the platform) is a decentralised p2p market. In the client (Particl Desktop (https://particl.io/downloads/)) you can create a special wallet that lets you view listings people have posted (via smsg). If you bid on an item and the seller accepts, a contract is created on the blockchain. You can see a web portal view of the listings here:

https://www.demarkets.io/particl/explorer (https://www.demarkets.io/particl/explorer)

The contract that is created has its own inbuilt escrow called MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) Escrow. The current alpha system requires both the buyer and seller to put 100% in on top of the sale price to ensure they cooperate to complete the traction. So for example if the buyer pays 200 particl, the seller pays 100 particl and also holds the item. Once the buyer receives the item and is happy they release the contract. The buyer gets back their deposit of 100 particl. The seller receives 300 particl. This process is designed so that there is no need to trust an intermediary escrow and improves privacy. Later versions of the market will have adjustable MAD escrow values of 100 - 0%.

Infographic of all possible MAD escrow states:

Video of buy/sell walk through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVdwav2lzXQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVdwav2lzXQ)

So to answer your initial question each client stores a complete copy of all the auctions (smsg messages) and the blockchain (contracts and balances). Hence decentralised. Sales agreed between buyer and seller are complemented anonymously - they are both blinded for the amount and use ring signatures to obfuscate the sender. So they are anonymous. And only the two parties involved can tell who’s involved in a MAD escrow contract, hence P2P, with no intermediary.

I’ve been having a play with the client and looking over the architecture; for a dapp I’m happy to say this actually works very smoothly, and I can’t see any security issues with the architecture or problems with the incentivisation and game theory aspects.

Payment is always made in the particl currency as the contract needs to be on the local particl blockchain. But there are plans to let you pay in other cryptocurrencies via an intermediary process from the wallet and this is then executed on the particl blockchain, so in the future you should be able to pay with other currencies. There is also currently a bot built into the wallet to let you swap BTC for PART.

Hi all,

Unfortunately I have lost access to my old account (since 2013) so I had to create a new one :)

I am super excited with Particl's Open Marketplace. I accidentally discovered it a few months ago and I have been using it since then.

So far I had 7 order completed. All of them went through flawlessly and I received the items. The most interesting part is the prices on those items were suprisingly low.

Dunno maybe some of the sellers are trying to sell items at loss to attract people to the Open Marketplace ...

Note: If I hadn't shared my purchase history, it is impossible for anyone to figure out that any on those transactions/buys did ever occur

A true private P2P DeCommerse and it is already happening....

Cheers

couldn't of explained that better myself! ;D it's a lot to wrap your head around but once you get it you can't help but love it!

Sorry to hear about your account I also lost access to mine, the hacker changed my email and everything, but I still had access to the email address I used to create the account here with it back in 2013 so that helped a lot in recovering it maybe try emailing here > If your account was hacked Email recoveries...@bitcointalk.org, ideally from the account's email address. Include your username and a brief description of the details of how/when the account was hacked. A signature will likely be required (see below) from > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.0

You might of already tried this but it's worth a shot if you haven't :) thanks for your review on the marketplace! there has been some small issues with SMSG system due to lack of network size at this point so glad to hear your not experiencing too much lag in sending/receiving of orders/updates etc. Roadmap for 2020 looks absolutely amazing also..the "In-Client" Crypto to Fiat Deposit/withdrawal is the one thing that really caught my attention  8) these are the features needed to take this mainstream!

Mobile platforms are likely to become more and more. but the exchange platform will also continue to exist but as now many exchange platforms have happened but not many have succeeded. social media platforms that manage their crypto are likely to become a new trend in the future.

as you can probably see from my signature I am all for Disruption :) the more P2P platforms there are the better the future is going to be IMO when it comes to things such as privacy, free speech and other related topics. what I like about particl is the fact we are building an entire Eco-system of DAPPs with the marketplace being the first of many planned applications that will be added to our platforms infrastructure. I like to look at the market as a "Proof of concept" of what can and will be built on particl network. in the future I imagine something along the lines of this for particl

"One password One profile(Alias)tied to one reputation that follows you from dapp to dapp , with these dapps being anything from finance/trading/E-commerce/gaming/social media/gambling/chat/forums/classifieds/webcam streaming/video streaming/movie sharing/file sharing all information distributed and encrypted 100% private 100% decentralized"

I like the idea of having one client/coin where I can do everything I need or want to do in private and that is what Particl is aiming to deliver it's users! + it's Built on BTC codebase so PART it's native currency is atomic swap compatible with BTC so it also gives me a platform to spend and use my Bitcoin! just by atomic swapping it into PART and loading my balance(future feature).


It's a whole new private and decentralized global ecosystem where your data stays your data! legit "for the people by the people" sort of stuff 8) We have an SDK in the works so soon anybody who can code a little will be able to build and launch their own custom dapps on our network, we have speculated on the probable need for some form of in client Dapp store as you would not want to download a client that was full of dapps you might not want to use. Instead with a dapp store you could just have a "bare-bones" client at initial download with just basic function send/receive etc and the Dapp store.. and then you would just pick and choose what Dapps you wish to download and plug in to the particl client. Would keep it a lot cleaner we are thinking.

And yes Mobile is a big part of our future roadmap, the mobile version of our marketplace is set to become available at some point this year, it will likely be a type of "lite wallet" that connects to an outside node for faster syncing but full usability of all of the desktop clients market features.

Cool marketplace application! Even decentralized and thus no third party beeing involved, nice.

I installed it along the proposed procedure and created a separate marketplace wallet. Now I am waiting to get my ordered item from the seller. It's said it's in shipping status right now.

This trustless MAD-Escrow System is kind of interesting. I would like to have this also for other applications. Each one should have such a private MAD-Escrow, e.g. for making appointments.

I recently wanted to sell privately a car, and was waiting for the potential buyer to show up. Despite his confirmation he didn't came as previously arranged. If we could have set up a small MAD-Escrow for both parties, this might have been a higher motivation for both parties not to dismiss the arrangement.
Thus, a private MAD-Escrow system, for example on a mobile device, would be a nice DAPP as well.

I also like the idea of a charity App!

Can you increase the time for the survey to an indefinite end date?
