I like it!
Good gui, everything is clear to see and understand.

Next step would be to get a trusted member to have a look at the source.
Heck, with some funding from the community, you could go straight to a professional audit!
How many lines of code does this have, without bitcoin-core and bitmessage (where we can use the official ones)?

I really want to see this project succeed!

BitXBay needs your support!
I devote all the time I have to the completion of this project now. I don’t have any sponsors, so I have to invest into the product myself. As the interest to this platform continues to grow all the time, I must get other developers to take part in BitXBay realization. That is why I need your kind support in order to put the world trading onto another level. We can do it together. Due to our united efforts all of us soon will be able to feel the taste of real freedom and financial independence.
Helping me with BitXBay means contribution to the development of decentralized economics of the future! Make the right choice today and watch the world changing right before your eyes tomorrow! Thanks to you.

About 8000 lines. Mainly in bitmessageqt/__init__.py
In the future I will put all the code in a separate file. Now is no time for this. Working on the integration of electrum. And rework escrow function to all payments in the same transaction scheme. I write this code in a separate file and upload soon on github, audit of it is most important.

That doesn't sound like *that* much code, an audit shouldn't be too complicated/expensive, I guess.
As I see it, this would help the most. More than new features, or more users.

Also, messages are “living” just for 2 days. But I plan to use the additional channels such as I2P messenger or something like that.

The client can simply retransmit their unfulfilled orders every 24 hours.

Hi. After two months of work, the new version is ready. Happened later than expected. There is no need to download whole blockchain, just use electrum. Yet I do not recommend you to run on the machine where you have previusly installed the electrum wallet. Use a separate computer or a virtual machine to test this new version. For first start it run electrum for create new wallet, after you create wallet just close electrum. It is already anonimous. If something go wrong with deal just send message to me I try to help to resolve your problem and fix bug. Most problems with deal can be resolved with restarting BiXBy and sending last message to yourself or counterparty.
Soon I plan to do:
 - Quick Sending and receiving messages of the transaction by using alternative anonymous messenger
 - Product images in trading board
 - Escrow In one transaction (already done, but causes a lot of problems if messages are slow)

Sounds nice!!

I'll give it a try.
I'm Not a geek but longing to see P2P markets working...

Watching this progress. bitXbay, if you wanted to PM me to write up your ANNs for you (no offense, it just will look better and probably will make people less intimidated), please feel free to. It looks promising!

  Good to see this is still happening, thanks!

PS: I found out about BitXbay only today and was very happy to see such thing (bitmit left quite the void)...

Nice to see constant development on this.

This is an exciting project. How does it compare to Open Bazaar?

The main difference is no servers and simplicity designed for ordinary users.
Pluses:
+ Simple to use. Just download binaries for Windows or sources for Linux and it is immediately ready for buy or sell products, without any configuration. Is integrated with elecrum and bitcoin-qt.
+ No servers
+ Anonymous already(open bazaar not anonymous yet)
+ Author anonymous too (for security reasons) but work on the project can be continued without me
+ Simple escrow without the possibility of fraud by the introduction method
+ Spam protection
+ Advertising system and clear benefits for developers

I'm running the latest version, and it seems that it takes a lot of time to start.
I can see the GUI behind, but the "loading time" screen doesn't disappear, and the GUI behind it's blocked.

EDIT:
Ok, I found the problem.
It didn't understand that the Electrum password was wrong.

Can you document (or point me where is the doc), hot to run it in Linux with the QT client?

I want to give it a try.

Thank you.

None, besides a similar name.
