Finally something I have been waiting for, OpenBazaar is pretty much a decentralized ebay based on DarkMarket which is a P2P trading platform.

http://www.btcfeed.net/news/openbazaar-is-the-decentralized-ebay/

Can't wait to use it, theres not gonna be the 15% ebay fees and no more paypal stealing your hard earned money

The concept, formerly known as DarkMarket, won the Toronto Bitcoin Expo Hackathon in April for demonstrating a fully functional P2P market platform with robust decentralized infrastructure, one that enables commerce to take place without the risk of outside actors disrupting the service.

You are right, sounds like openbazaar is the start/medium of skynet from this article.   Cheesy

The whole AI stuff doesn't make sense. It's a fucking marketplace, what is an AI supposed to do there? Buying weapons?

Haha article is probably funded by ebay or something.  OpenBazaar is going to be mostly legit trade.  Most people are excited for no fees vs buying drugs and weapons which is likely a minority of people.

they found that their centralization system is being violated everyday with this new forms of decentralization, i think they fear the future decentralization of everything and how it can change the world completely

I went through the article and here's the funny part:

Quote
....if the potential harm from a marketplace seems limited to you, consider what could happen from the combination of this type of technology with Artificial Intelligence. As AI evolves, even tech visionaries like Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Tesla chief Elon Musk have expressed concern over the ability of humans to control the outcome, especially if machines are eventually able to ‘think’ autonomously. Now apply OpenBazaar’s decentralized and police-resistant model to this and you have a recipe for disaster: machines with free will and the ability to communicate with each other under the human radar. Maybe an Isaac Asimov-inspired fantasy at one time, this is hardly an impossible scenario anymore given the rapid pace of technological development.....

So now they have all the imagination to link decentralized systems to Artificial Intelligence, and make it easy for people to make it look like a threat to humanity. Great!
And as if that was not already ridiculous, they have quoted Bill Gates and Tesla's opinions about A.I. Now what does that have to do with Open Bazaar?

It's amusing how they don't seem to get that even if OpenBazaar doesn't exist, criminals will still find a way of conducting their business. Crime has existed for years, and it will continue to exist, regardless of the mediums available.

Well, it could be dangerous to the powers that be. Decentralized anything is, but OB has the power to be the new standard of darknet markets, only one the authorities could never take down so they're bound to feel powerless and afraid of it.

OB is most awaited project and many users are waiting for it to be completed and get functional for normal users, i think decentralization can make it unique and can give priority to use this platform for buy and sell with comfort and ease but on other side FUD campaign has already been started against OB from ebay.

No, sir. I thought it sucked the sweat off a dead man's balls. Try Ex Machina or for a more old school approach Colossus: The Forbin Project.

I'm ready to start using OpenBazaar .. where can i download the client?

You can use https://provistor.com/ to use OpenBazaar without having to install anything.

So, what happens when gov. decides to go after Provistor? Isn't the whole point to build a decentralized infrastructure?
With that said, I read that if you turn off the computer from which you run the node, then your store becomes invisible. And that's where cloud based services, like Provistor, can save the day. Confused  Huh

If you haven't seen Demon Seed, that's worth a watch too. It has plenty of eerie moments.

Its a nice concept but does it have a web interface?
If we have to download and install software, it won't take off. There has to be a web based design.

Same goes for bitcoin; it needs to be made more web friendly.

You will be free to use that kind of services or not. It just offers more options.
