Does MaidSafe run on top of Mastercoin or was that only for the IPO?

A great recent article on what MaidSafe is, its only utilizing MSC protocol to facilitate the proxy token for the actual Safecoins when the network launches in Jan 2015.

How could I run a database-driven website via MaidSafe?  I can't imagine how a running database could be encrypted, chunked, and distributed.

Disappointed to learn this about OpenBazaar:

http://forum.openbazaar.org/index.php?p=/discussion/105/need-a-permanent-node-to-set-up-a-store

That is not decentralization for me.

How will the current tokens be exchanged for Safecoins?

What advantages will Freemarket have over OpenBazaar?

I'd like to know this too.
865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 11:28:00 PM
Are there any more of these blockchain marketplaces besides OpenBazaar and FreeMarket?  I'd love to know how those two compare to each other.
As far as I know, no. FreeMarket seems to be the only one operating at the moment.

I believe OpenBazaar is also operating currently, although in beta.  Thank you for the link.

Why need trusted nodes? It runs on the Nxt blockchain directly.

I just mean some people won't want to download, install, and run special software in order to buy or sell there.  If there were a series of open nodes they could connect to with only their browser, they would be much more likely to use it.  They would be sacrificing security for convenience but they don't care.

An online service is being developed now.

Reference?

Wow, watching people set their minds on OpenBazaar and completely ignore any alternatives is quite hilarious.

FreeMarket has been out for a few weeks now. The first release was basically an open beta, and the first big update was November 9. It needs more buyers and sellers, but it is definitely showing promise and is functional. It is completely decentralized and runs on the Nxt blockchain. It is not a 'clone' of anything, it is completely original code.

Wow nice, and you can even invest in freemarket. I'm in.

 Smiley No fees for the rest of 2014, but after that it will cost 7.77 NXT to list an item. And 80% of fees will be paid to FreeMarket shareholders, the other 20% to SuperNET shareholders.

I don't see it taking off without a series of "trusted" open nodes which people can connect to if they're willing to trade convenience for security.

Who is holding USD and gold and BTC that will exchange with us as promised?
872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 08:46:25 PM
There is already something close that has been running and established for over 6-7 months now.

Check it out:

Can it be run decentralized?
873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 08:35:58 PM
I believe OpenBazaar is currently functional in beta mode.

For convenience, I wouldn't consider using one of these that isn't accessible via a browser.  I'm 95% sure OpenBazaar is accessible that way.  I'll keep an eye on FreeMarket
874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 08:27:29 PM
Is OpenBazaar accessible via a browser?
875  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 08:20:46 PM
Is FreeMarket accessible through a browser or only directly through the FreeMarket app?

Can I connect to an open node with a browser to see it in action?
877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 07:05:51 PM
OK so maybe you have to run a node in order to shop on OpenBazaar?  That's an incentive.

How long has Nxt FreeMarket been up and how much traction has it gained?
878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in OpenBazaar? on: November 10, 2014, 06:51:56 PM
What is the motivation for the OpenBazaar nodes to run the software?  Or maybe it doesn't work like that?

No one knows?
879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitSharesX -- out of nowhere? on: November 10, 2014, 06:45:54 PM
Do we know why Chinese investors were attracted to BitSharesX instead of the other 2.0 platforms?
880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitSharesX -- out of nowhere? on: November 10, 2014, 05:31:08 PM
BitSharesX had a marketcap of $30M in February before any code was released?  It's $38M now and it looks like $30M wouldn't even move it out of 4th place on coinmarketcap.  How can a coin attract that much investment without releasing code?
