Support OpenBazaar!!!

[theblacksquid]

With the takedown of free, albeit hidden, marketplaces which promote voluntary participation, free market competition and quality products and services by men in uniform vested with the "authority" to enact arbitrary "laws" passed down by corrupt, outdated and obsolete goverments, it is the time for us to give our full support to the establishment and development of decentralized marketplaces.

(That sounds so cryptoanarchist that I am creeping myself out.   )


But seriously, time for us to really take serious time, effort and funding to help OpenBazaar be successful.

You can contribute to the code by going to their GitHub page:

You can Help fund their Tip4Commit:

good suggestion, but users should test with Beta 2.0

https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar

With Beta 3 coming out any day now that will work on windows too!

OpenBazaar is cool but is not good enough.

Great, help us make it better.

Interesting concept

iam watching the development since the start. exciting software

I am waiting to the windows release
I have been watching the project and I am looking forward to testing it!

Yep - me too.

I think it could be a game changer.

There'll be bumps in the road.

But I do believe it will happen.

Hey, I'd love to - and given a Windows or OSX client I will definitely be putting up some stuff to sell - and browsing stuff to buy - and telling everyone I know about it. Trust me on that one.

But TBH I'm not such a "techy" that I can compile dependencies etc on linux 

I am Jo Average.

I will let you know when you have a winner

Why couldn't one buy shares in this? Such as freemarket did. Would have been win win

The Ubuntu/OSX build is actually up for beta testing!!!

And just bear with it for a little more, once beta-3 is out, the windows client will released, including a more intuitive user interface and overall easier time of using the platform

How many people enjoy the opportunity to commit at https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar and who are they ?

This is an open source project where there is no central company or controlling group. Selling shares in a company would completely undermine the project and add unnecessary attack vectors.

Yes - and that's why it's beautiful.

ps. looking into the OSX release

They should have kept the original name Dark Market. Changing the name to appease oppressive governments is weak..

I dont agree with the name change as well, but I have to say that it would really make the entire development process only the more controversial than it has to be, which would impede development, and therefore, be less beneficial for the rest of us.

DarkMarket sounded so cool.....

OpenBrazaar is actually going to be 100% decentralized so there will be no central profits, meaning that there will be no shares to sell.

If this is going to be a good idea is something to be seen

DarkMarket could be mistaken as DarkCoin's supposed decentralized market baked into the client (maybe it's out by now), which I think they called OneMarket.

I was able to meet someone from the OpenBazaar team, and they're pretty awesome. It's FLOSS, so if someone'd like, they can go right ahead, take the current source and fork it, even incorporate for-profit mechanisms. It's really not a business -- it's not something where there's this formal structure of people who're always going to dictate how people use the fruits of their labor, and that's a pretty damn cool and generous venture. Super-pleased with its progress and wish I had something meaningful to contribute.

windows in a day or so.
This release is way more stable than last month's release too

[dwdoc]

Awaiting Windows release. Tried running in VirtualPlayer with Ubuntu with port forwarding, etc. but could never connect to any merchants.

OpenBazaar is one of the most exciting project around. Can't wait to use it big time.
