I've been following open bazaar for several months. I shall create my own shop online sometimes, but I wonder when the marketplace will effectively open, and leave the beta stage?

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

More efforts need to be put into "idiot-proofing" the installer. Please. Make it do checks to see if it will fail before even proceeding. I had no idea what I was getting into when I ran it and now I want to wipe the whole OS and start over.
How about for starters, when you run the script have it ask where the files from the git repo will go, or even say in the script what folder the person should be in before grabbing files and just putting them wherever. Have the default entry be the current path and let them hit "enter" to choose that they are going to put the files there, or allow them to change it. Does that make sense?
To be careful, I started a temp directory somewhere, and all the files ended up going there. The script ran about 1800 lines of total chaos without any user input except "are you sure you want this set of 100 packages?" a few times over. Just do apt-get -y, to force the script to install those packages, why give the user an option that will only cause it to fail if they say no?
Even just an "are you sure you want to install OpenBazaar HERE?" option, with a brief description of what is going to happen.
I was under the impression that it was okay to run this in a subdirectory of an existing server. Apparently not, and I only glanced at the code but things went all chaotic pretty fast.
So, I had a "successful install" via the script and, of course, my webserver was not configured to display anything in that random temp folder, so I figured it couldn't hurt to just force-copy all files to a folder where they could be viewed. I moved them to a folder like "openbazaar", so I could see them at my.web.server.ip/openbazaar/ and I saw that it there is an HTML folder. Click it, and I see stuff! But no CSS. In the HTML, apparently, all the include javascripts, CSS, and so on were hardcoded to /html/css/filenameexample.css
So if in your browser it looks like my.webserver.ip/openbazaar/html/index.html, you have nothing but errors because your files would have to exist at my.webserver.ip/html/css/filenameexample.css in order to work. If you delete the /html/ part and just use a relative link css/filenameexample.css, it works perfectly. To some degree. It looks like the rest of the program really wants to be the top level of the server without any subdirectories so I think I'm going to wipe and start over, just wanted to leave this tidbit here so that if you think (like I did) that you can just run the script from any random folder and expect the configuration to work on the first try.
Does anyone have any useful step-by-step instructions w/o using the script? It says "The following instructions are for advanced users, and are not up to date." in the official instructions. Can someone maybe bring them up to date?

All good figured it out. Script works just needs love and attention, once /html/ is the top level of the document root of your virtual host it's fine.

What is your business plan if you do not charge fees?

It is not a business. It is an open source software. |

Just setup OpenBazaar Beta 2.0. Looking good!  Let's get this out there! Received an email from eBay saying they are splitting from PayPal in 2015... Once OpenBazaar is up and running they could just close eBay, I won't use it anymore!  BTW I tried to join the OpenBazaar forum and clicked on send confirmation email maybe 100 times but no email ever arrives. It's been a month now, any chance to be able to participate in the forum? I'd like to join the discussion and give feedback from my test. Thanks. |

I been planning on wanting to start something like this...Thank god you guys have this but I am an idiot when it comes to linux etc.
Will you guys have a windows version so I can drag to my server and edit the configs to my database?
Also if you guys are accepting donations I would like to fund you guys 1k-7k depending on how well this project goes and if it has the features I am looking for.

Bump for a worthy & potentially revolutionary software development project!
I had nearly forgotten about OpenBazaar but stumbled across FrankenMint's review the other day and got intrigued all over again! Have to post here to follow along with any updates and I am going to try to do a build of it to try out soon!

Reports from reddit indicate end of this year when the regular buyers and sellers can jump onboard. |
