When a buyer chooses to buy a product from a seller the buyer is presented with a dialog asking whether they want to send funds direct or create a 2 of 3 multisig address

1. Default cannot be changed is seller.
2. Default cannot be changed is buyer
3. Default is Ophion representative - This can be changed to someone else who both parties agree on though

The address is generated but no funds are transferred until all parties agree everyone who should have a key has a key - They can confirm via Ophion Private Messaging System. Unless its Ophion Representative. The buyer is at risk if he does not follow the recommended guidelines lined out above. If there is no problem the buyer can release the funds. If there is a problem the buyer can contact Ophion Representative if used. If Ophion Representative was not used the buy will have to contact the third key holder and explain the issues, this key holder can cancel the trade or release the funds.

The Seller and Buyer both have Pseudonyms or Nicknames, This is not anonymous, but you could register with MickyMouse1501 and no-one would know who you actually are. However like other markets out there, there is always an element of risk.

I hope this answers your question.

Once ICO starts we may start offering translation bounties for the post, whitepaper, etc.

May I know why AES is used? With quantum computers and implementation of Shor's getting better, wouldnt it be better to use post-quantum crypto? It would offer you the biggest edge over bitcoins , although sha256 is still pretty resistant to shor

Luckily the lucky 13 attack has been patched by OpenSSL recently

Hi Quartx,

We have looked into many algorithms for this project and weighing up the pros and cons. We wanted an algorithm that would not slow the network down when loading public viewable products for sale, not too much anyway. We have gone for what we decided what a practical solution rather than something that was overkill or could compromise practicality of the network.

Our main aim is to keep our clients data and transactions safe and if there comes a point where this is no longer possible, then Ophion 2.0 will be released.

is there planned any reward for ICO promotion like twitter/FB/sign?

Jazzyscript,

We plan on doing a signature campaign after we get the ICO Started and some funds start coming in. We want Ophion to be as successful as possible and that's determined by the amount of users we have and followers we have obtained.


Cryptoheadd,

Once ICO starts we may start offering translation bounties for the post, whitepaper, etc. This question was answered above, hope this is sufficient.

I think you misunderstand the meaning of anonymity and the meaning behind Ophion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymity

Just because you can be anonymous does not mean you need to partake in illegal activities. We do not condone any illegal activity on Ophion, these illegal activities that are not placed under hidden shops will be taken down without question. If Ophion representatives are able to see it and it's illegal then it will be taken down, but we can't do anything about hidden shops.

1. You are explicitly implying that illegal activities will occur in the hidden shops.

2. Aren't you worried about potential legal implications since you have openly revealed your identity, if it is indeed you?

Just curious.

I will be following with interest.

Sorry if you misunderstood what I said but I explained that Ophion Representatives will not be able to see what happens in hidden shops, we do not condone illegal activities but we have no way of managing what goes on in these hidden shops.

I'm not worried about any legal implications because of the simple fact that we don't condone those activities. Yet, it is not our fault that we can't do anything about them if they are done in hidden shops.

Think about it theoretically, if a doctor prescribed you some medication and you sold it, would the doctor be at fault? Even though he didn't know that's what you'd do? No.

I hope this clears things up here.
