FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero

[DaveyJones]

Pushing again... Atrides so whats up ?

[superresistant]

 

[Hueristic]

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.

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.

[Atrides]

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.

[dnaleor]

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

[entertheabyss]

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

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?

[dnaleor]

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.

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...

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.

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:) ).

[bbc.reporter]

That is funny!

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.

[dinofelis]

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. 

[pastapaska]

Is bitcoin for OpenBazaar done or just hype? Maybe this FreeBazaar is also hype, target to pump Monero price?

Multisig is coming soon with RingCT.

BTW, I requested and received a 50% refund of my donation about a month ago.

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.

i was wondering which one of those bazar is used more this one or the one with bitcoin, buyers feel more confortable paying with something more anonymous maybe?

This one doesn't exist. It is a project with minimal progress, long since stalled.
