Beating eBay? No way. Even if you have better script, support, etc you won't beat eBay. You'd need like $ 20K in SEO to beat them.

I don't think we need advertising at all , I mean as a Bitcoiner you will logically search for something that accepts Bitcoin and you will end up finding OpenBazaar .

Still, Bitcoin is preferred to be used either on the deepweb or in forums. You also need some kind of escrow system so that you can gain reputation.
Nonetheless, I might use it if some people register there Smiley

It doesn't need to beat ebay to be a huge success. If OpenBazaar can get 1% of the trades ebay does it would make a big difference to the price for a number of reasons.

I think it going to take abit of time to get used to it, and i think it will take the general public even longer to try it.  but if it sticks it out then i think it could have a bright future.

I like the interface but it will take time, see what it looks like in 6 months, how many sellers are opening shop. This is not a threat or any competition to darknet markets at all is my impression.

what is your first impression on this when you tested it ?

Don't waste your time until they implement anonymity:
http://ohiobitcoin.com/ob1-ceo-brian-hoffman-explains-levels-of-anonymity-in-openbazaar/

Not sure about this Hoffman character. Also the nodeJS/python client/server architecture is bloated - I don't want to run all of this (likely insecure) shit on my machine. Sorry if it's a harsh review.

Hey, good catch. I did not realize they were UDP and incompatible with Tor. He did mention i2p as a possible future option.

i really like it to be honest, even though the design is not the one of the prettiest that are out there i believe that it has a still long time to go till the best version of it and it will be updated from time to time

i like that theres a huge variety of listings and that everyone can be their own shop if they want, i will surely buy something from it in the near future

The fact that it can't run offline is a deal breaker and they won't have anything working with IPFS for a long time (6 months or more) and it may not solve the problem of offline sales.... for me that is Why I worked on Syscoin and an ONCHAIN decentralized marketplace solution exists... OB will end up realizing this sooner or later that a p2p marketplace is not going to cut it especially when it comes to proving that you made a transaction, you have no offline db store unless you proactively set it up to record your tx's... the on-chain solution solves many problems at the expense of the "bloat" issue which probably can be solve through lightning networks and the fact that bandwidth/storage costs are getting cheaper every day aswell as pruning options for users in combination with expiring services that the owner of the service has control over. I think there are atleast a 3:1 pro:con benefit of doing onchain and using Satoshi's invention to solve the problem rather than a p2p solution which doesn't leverage the blockchain.

I personally like openbazaar, but chances are I won't order much or anything from it. It seems a bit too inefficient for me personally, but I'm sure someone could make a way for the shipping and so of everything works better than it currently does.

I think it certainly has potential, but we'll have to see where it goes.

Hey, good catch. I did not realize they were UDP and incompatible with Tor. He did mention i2p as a possible future option.

Thanks. The info was not readily available as the architecture of OB is not easily discernable. It might be possible to run the OB Server on a remote host and send the client REST requests over the net, but I doubt this traffic is encrypted, or even secure...

I'm warming up to Hoffman slightly after watching this interview:
http://thisweekinstartups.com/brian-hoffman-openbazaar-bitcoin/

I think he simply forked Taaki's distributed market proof of concept code (DarkMarket), hired a dev team, and got some rich VCs to fund him. Given his VC backing, I doubt privacy will be a high priority... He mentions in the interview that he seeks to monetize the software by handling arbitration, escrow, etc. for a fee. Perhaps selling the customer/vendor data is also a stealth plan...

Give it time to evolve. What do you think the bigger websites start out as. What they are today overnight?
Come one let it get it's self established then they can worry about putting makeup on and looking pretty for the customers. What they want first and foremost is results in what the site is sposse to created for, SALES.

If will never beat eBay unless fiat gets beaten. I decided to look at it it looks very clean to the edges and the software Is not overly huge providing it easy to move.

The interface is nice, during a test everything went well.  It is pretty intuitive to list and buy.  Things like this need time, I too hope to not be a seller on Ebay!

Beating eBay? No way. Even if you have better script, support, etc you won't beat eBay. You'd need like $ 20K in SEO to beat them.

The point and or the concept is not to beat Ebay but have a decentralized system which is not monitored and controlled.Ebay has private owners/customer support/ and an entire set of selling rules .OpenBaazar doesn't have any,you can pretty much sale your pubic hair or a fetus ,your trade won't be monitored.In the long run,there will be trade policies I guess.

We was all waiting for this moment since years , what is your first impression on this when you tested it ? Can we really beat eBay ?
You guys started selling your goods ? I personally didn't start ... yet .
Happy to hear that first peer to peer market Openbazzar has started functioning.I haven't started selling or buying anything yet there but I will make use of it when I will have anything to buy or sell.I have a question,Will openbazaar act as escrow?How is buyers and sellers protected in Openbazaar?
