Project Status:

• OpenBazaar is in beta 1.0. You can read our beta guide here: https://blog.openbazaar.org/openbazaar-beta-1-0-tutorial/
• The purpose of beta 1.0 is to test out the installation of the client and discover any major bugs with what we have so far.
• Things are still a little bumpy with beta 1.0, so please be patient as we tackle each issue and bug systematically.
• We will be releasing new beta versions each month until the end of the year, where we will release version 1.0.

Support:

• While we appreciate donations, we would prefer additional developers and testers to help us iron out the bugs and start working of new features and markets to implement.

Update #1:

• Instructions for setting up and running an OpenBazaar node on a VPS:

Just made a couple of changes to the multi-signature GUI... essentially sanity testing to make sure that any pubkeys that you enter as part of the multisig transactions are valid addresses. Next I will be integrating custom M-of-N multisig transactions (upper limit: 15 of 20) into the GUI. From what I understand, 15 of 20 is the scripting constraint... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

After that, I'll finally add into the GUI the ability to create transactions offline, signing and broadcasting at the click of a few buttons.

Please do Amir, I can't broadcast transactions on sx because of this problem... it's the last thing I need to implement on the sx GUI.

This is where the sx GUI is up to:



Edit: Grammar... it was late at night.

Hi folks,

• I've created a simple GUI for SX using Zenity that you can find: https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/tree/master/tools
• The README.md has some detailed instructions for installing SX and some other dependencies if you want to do stealth addresses.
• My plan is to add all of the major functions of SX into this simple GUI... so far I've done stealth addresses and creating 2/3 multisignature addresses.
• Definitely more work to be done!

I've had the same problem. Latest version of Ubuntu.

Freaking awesome!

Working on it!
