A simple question, how and where can I invest in this project?
First, I am required to say that investment in OmniBazaar is available ONLY to "accredited investors". If you don't know what that means, you probably aren't one. Investment-related documents can be found here: http://omnibazaar.com/index.php/investOur on-line investment site is on AngelList: http://omnibazaar.com/index.php/investIf you have any other questions, you can PM me on this site. Thanks for asking. Rick |

POD ? Coinsource?
We're going to go the Coinsource route. Give us a few days to work with them. But, in the mean time, IndieGoGo has all of our contact information. And a few minutes of searching (or the link at the bottom of the OP) would take you to our website, which contains all manner of information about who we are and what we are doing. Unlike many of the other projects on BitcoinTalk.org, there is nothing hidden about the project or the developers. Your donations will help us move this project forward faster. Thanks, Rick |

This does look like a great idea but OmniCoin as a name and coin does already exist here http://www.omnicoin.org/ . |

Are you aware that there is already another coin using this name?

The OmniCoin you're referring to flopped bigger than shit.
The [XOM] OmniCoin that will actually get rolled out with OmniBazaar is definitely usable - I believe several other threads in this forum identified that particular product as a 'shitcoin'. OmniCoin [XOM] was developed far earlier than what you're seeing (and has several pending patents).

It's non open-source. OmniCoins are pretty much useless (bitcoins can be used). They are banning "prohibited" content (who will classify it as "prohibited"? What's illegal?). Not a single version or demo of this "working prototype". Looking for money before anything to offer.
Good luck guys, but I won't get closer to OmniBazaar. It is not decentralized when there is a group of developers working in a closed project.
OmniCoin will (of course) be open-source at launch (or before). I don't care about OmniCoin. It is an alt/appcoin that I won't use for sure. I really care about OmniBazaar and CryptoBazaar. OmniBazaar should be open source. CryptoBazaar must be open source. Good luck with your little project. |

The coin is still going strong and is trading on an exchange so maybe naming after it you are fanboys then  . |

Yes. We're aware. Edit: I had an appointment scheduled for a phone conversation with the Jesse (the owner of the omnicoin.org domain) to discuss this whole issue. But, Jesse never followed through with the call. The facts of this matter need to be sorted out. We have had several omnicoin-related domain names for over a year and a half, and have been working on the OmniCoin project for almost that long. We believe we have a strong case for a rightful claim to the name. We had a trademark application for the OmniCoin name filed well before they launched their coin. |

OmniBazaar should be open source. CryptoBazaar must be open source. OmniBazaar will be open sourced after we launch and get some traction. CryptoBazaar... we'll see. At the very least, we will get the code reviewed/audited -- for our own peace of mind as well as that of the community. Good luck with your little project.
Thanks. Best of luck to you too. |

Are you aware that there is already another coin using this name?
Yes. We're aware. And our trademark attorney will be contacting them. We had a trademark application for the OmniCoin name filed well before they launched their coin. No, you didn't. You applied for the trademark in February 2014, whereas Omnicoin was originally released in December 2013. Please decide on a new name for your coin, because regardless of your opinion on our coin, it is a legitimate cryptocurrency supported by many members on HF and has a solid grounding. We realize there are some who voice their negative opinions of omnicoin, but we have recently restructured the Omnicoin team and are currently undergoing many new developments. Please have a look at the posting date of this thread: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3923174You will notice that it was posted on 12th December 2013. On Friday, February 07, 2014, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for OMNICOIN by OmniBazaar, Inc., Clearwater, FL 33758. The USPTO has given the OMNICOIN trademark serial number of 86187319. So clearly we chose the name before you filed your trademark application. Please rethink your branding. Thanks, Mesh. Omnicoin Team. |

OmniCoin is already taken and is a pretty huge coin. Short name is OMC.
Yours might not be OMC, but it's definitely called OmniCoin.
Don't call it OmniCoin. It has already been taken and is one of the biggest community coins out there.
We had the name first no matter what you say.

Why you OP never do a little of search if there's any Omnicoin before you create such an useless thread. Omnicoin (the name, also the coin) is already taken. You can not use the same name, you must change the name of your coin.

They will probably change the name of the coin. They are using the coin to collect money from users. OmniBazaar might be useful. CryptoBazaar might be helpful. OmniCoin does not add anything to a system where you can use bitcoins instead. |

Can you speak to the reputation system you are envisioning for this marketplace ? One of the things which made eBay a huge success is the reputation system, the feedback made public about transactions.
Really don't see the need for a new coin though. If the transactions are direct, without middlemen, the transactors (buyers and sellers) could decide which currency or coin to use.

Ignorance is bliss. Made more money on that coin than you've probably made online. Are you aware that there is already another coin using this name?
Yes. We're aware. And our trademark attorney will be contacting them. We had a trademark application for the OmniCoin name filed well before they launched their coin. Your trademark application was made several months after the initial launch in 2013. |

From the boss man: Someone post this in that Bitcointalk thread. The owner of Omnicoin.org has stated he's contacted his lawyer as well as the lawyer of the TM filing. Omnibazaar will not be allowed to use the brand Omnicoin for a cryptocurrency and he's going to be filing with USPTO to remove the live mark and consider additional legal action if it's required. While Omnibazaar applied the real Omnicoin was already launched and being used. A simple Google search at that time would have pulled up our results. He can and will easily prove first use. And btw it's true. Already contacted their lawyer and mine. I'll get this sorted out. |

Agree. Incredible that the OP and nobody on his team would do a simple search beforehand ... Google: omnicoin site:bitcointalk.org would have made them well aware the moniker was taken...  |
