81.8 MB so it's quite substantial. It's larger than Mozilla Firefox and Multibit put together, and you can't ignore that you don't need to download anything to use Ebay or Amazon. I guess there should 2 versions of the software. A very light one, then a big one to those who have something to sell.
Are you using a PC or a phone? My Firefox browser cache alone is much bigger than 80 MB. I am getting curious after all the feedback, so I will try it on an old laptop Of course! I'm not talking about the sizes of cache files, I'm talking about the sizes of the software to download. Firefox is probably 45 MB. Besides, OB is not working anymore. I'm not in the same place where I installed it, and it cannot connect. "Unable to connect to your server" Anyone knows what port it uses, so I can check it's open?

If Lightening Networks can be half as successful as Open Bazarre, things will be looking good for this coin, and price will raise. There like peenut butter and jams.

Damned thing! It seems I can't even close the software without being connected, which I'm unable to do. There's that full width nav bar on top of the window, but there's nothing on it. I'll have to close it via the Windows' task manager.
Is this still a beta release?

Then it tries to help me delete system32. Is this normal?
It's not a normal behavior.Did you download the correct application ? System32 is your main system file,deleting which,your computer may never start and result in formatting your driver.However ,I could not make out how come Harddisk space and system 32 has to do with each other ? Are you using a Virtual PC ?

I think it's good to see another great decentralized marketplace which support Bitcoin as payment processor; that's will help the bitcoin's community a lot to spread the word about this powerful crypto currency as well

I have not used it and thus can't make a real comment on it. What's stopping me from using it at the moment is that I only have my phone for internet--and the whole thing sounds great except for the part about your computer needs to be always running for your store to be open. That's good for buyers I'm sure, and big sellers, but I would not want to operate that way. Ebay is great for that and I still use it, but their fees are fucking outrageous. I'm sure all of you know that, plus the whole PayPal thing.
I would like to check out OB if/when I get a new desktop computer.

I don't have an option to pay from my currency,it shows bitcoins by default.When I open the app and see the default items on list ,the bitcoin pins I guess,the amount is shown in bitcoins.Not sure if there is a way to modify it.However its better with bitcoins right,anonymous and decentralized.

Are you sure? How would this even be enforced? well I'm not sure how to answer that. I guess it can't be enforced. but if someone bought something using some other currency outside of OpenBazaar (they only allow btc transaction) they won't be able leave a review because you're only allowed to leave a review when there's a record of the bitcoin transaction (not sure how it works in-depth). snipe

Found it. If you both agree to a price, the client creates a contract between you both with your digital signatures, and sends it to a third party called a moderator. These moderators are also folks on the OpenBazaar network—could be your neighbor or someone across the world—who the buyer and seller trust in case something goes wrong. The third party witnesses the contract and creates a multisignature Bitcoin account (multisig) that requires two of three people to agree before the Bitcoin can be released.
The buyer then sends the agreed upon amount to the multisig address. You get a notification saying the buyer has sent the funds, and you ship the laptop to them and mark that it has been shipped. The buyer receives it a few days later, and they mark it received, which releases the funds from multisig to you. You got your Bitcoin, the buyer got the laptop; no fees paid, no one stopped your trade, everyone’s happy. What if something goes wrong?
As we all know, things don’t always go smoothly. What if you’re buying a certain book from a seller, you pay the multisig, and they ship you the wrong one, or it was in poorer condition than advertised, or they don’t even send a product at all?
This is where the third party comes in. Remember that a multisig requires two of three people to agree in order to move the Bitcoin. They control the third key to the multisig, so the funds will not move until either the buyer and seller work out an arrangement themselves, or the third party agrees with either the buyer or seller on how to deal with the transaction and funds in multisig. Note to self: 1. become 100 moderators on OB 2. Sell laptops; send bricks. 3. ? ? ? 4. Profit!

that's... disturbing. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) unless they do something about that, people will have to rely on a really trusted users from outside of OB. though that article you quoted doesn't have anything to do with what I said. you don't need to use a moderator to leave a review.
