Topic: [ANN] OmniBazaar - Distributed E-commerce Marketplace (Read 1448 times)

Any of you who have been following this thread probably know that olcaytu2005, the creator of the thread, has had some reputation issues. This has resulted in the warning that shows at the top of every page of the topic.

olcaytu2005 is or was a member of the marketing company that we hired about a year ago to help us promote our launch, ICO and airdrop. Unfortunately, his reputation issues have resulted in a bad image for OmniBazaar.

As a result, I am closing this topic and reopening the original OmniBazaar/OmniCoin Announcement topic that was originally started in 2014.

Please post any comments or questions in this topic:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annxom-pre-releasecoin-and-p2p-marketplaceanonescrowsreputationand-more-835575

Do not post any new replies here. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

I hope the guys that you can find the strength and means to do the IEO. The idea of this project to the surplus is good, just to disappear into the abyss of projects of similar subjects.

Thank you for your feedback. We are seriously intent on making OmniBazaar useful and popular. There are a lot of "un-banked" people in the world who need what OmniBazaar has to offer.

Also Finally they have added the "Back" button that takes You back to the last page of lots "for sale" where you were before You review the last item!!!
This was the most wanted thing for me as it was horrible to start all the time from the first page when I was browsing through the listings.
So the team listens carefully to our feedback here and in the telegram group and it`s a very good sign for both: investors and marketplace users!

Nice to see the development continue. And devs can boast new updates:

Spread the word! A new version of the OmniBazaar software has been released that makes it possible for 2.8 billion more people to use OmniBazaar and OmniCoin.

OmniBazaar marketplace and OmniCoin wallet are now available in 17 languages. OmniBazaar provides a "gateway" into both e-commerce and cryptocurrency for more than two billion people who do not have a bank account or credit card. And, OmniBazaar is easy and inexpensive to use.

English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Turkish, Korean, Vietnamese, Italian, Gujarati, Filipino, Malay, Romanian, Ukrainian.

Yeah, such a correction will really help circumvent volatility. It looks like this is a good solution, I think it will work.

This is not a bad idea. And, we actually discussed doing this, at one time. But, it would be extremely difficult to implement now.

However, we handled this in a different way.

When you make a listing, you only need to price the product or service in terms of your local currency (for example, dollars). And, select to also price the item in terms of BTC and ETH. When a prospect views your listing, the OmniBazaar software automatically checks the current exchange rates for the listing currencies (in this example, that would be BTC/USD and ETH/USD). It then presents the correct current prices in BTC and ETH, based on the USD price of the item. This same system will also be implemented for XOM/USD (and other fiat pairs) after OmniCoin is listed on some exchanges.

The bottom line is that you don't need to worry about the volatility of anything except the fiat currency that you use to price the listing.

Yes, this is a very good idea. But how to deal with volatility. Volatility is a problem associated with small capitalization. This  is modernity.
If you put things on sale at one price, then tomorrow this price may have a different value. Is not it? This complicates the process of trading.
If the OmniCoins worked as a Tether (USDT), then this could have been avoided. BUT this implies constant coinage and burning.

OmniBazaar is a good project, the market is expanded in many areas. Very worth looking forward to.

Yeah man, that's to the point. Increasing the number of languages is one of the steps to attract a large number of communities. Looks like these guys know what to do. But despite this, I think that this service still has a long way to go.

It is a great idea to use a large number of languages.  This will help the service to have good resolution and broaden the horizons. And it is clear that the team is doing everything possible and succeeds in this. I will be impatiently awaiting the global use of the OmniBazaar.

TRANSLATORS:

We will be releasing soon an new version of OmniBazaar that will include translations into at least 10 or 12 new languages.

Eight new languages have been completed.

Four more languages are being worked on.

In addition, we are looking for experienced translators for the following languages:
Berber
Chinese
Hausa
Japanese
Korean
Spanish
Swahili
Vietnamese

If you or anyone you know is a good translator of these languages, and has a good understanding of crypto, please send me a PM at @omnirick here on Telegram. We are offering a bounty for these translations that will be paid in OmniCoins.

More details about this can be found here: https://mailchi.mp/dfa9877450c1/action-required-sellers-check-your-omnibazaar-listings

This is a very good way, to secure deals, on the P2P platform. The marketplace itself has several advantages over the existing ones. Now, all that is needed is to attract attention and increase the number of users.

And I`ll add that if there is no ability to meet the buyer face-to-face, You could still to choose the escrow - which could be your local escrow from the OmniBazaar list of ones.
This is a unique feature of the marketplace and could make both sides of the transaction to be assured that nobody will be deceived!

To participate in the Token Sale, you will need to download, install and launch the application. It is available here for Windows, Linux and MacOS: http://download.omnibazaar.com/support/download?ref=developer

When you reach the Home screen, you will see a link on the left to "Whitelist for Token Sale". Click that button and complete the AML/KYC identity verification.

After you successfully complete the Identity Verification, you will see on the left side menu a button to open the Token Sale dashboard. There, you can exchange BTC or ETH for OmniCoins (XOM).

You will need to either create or open an existing Ether or Bitcoin wallet (or both) within OmniBazaar, and move some funds into the wallet(s). The Token Sale screen will allow you to choose which BTC or ETH wallet (within OmniBazaar) you wish to use for the Token Sale transaction.

OmniCoins you purchase in the token sale will be credited to your OmniCoin wallet as soon as the BTC or ETH transaction has been confirmed a few times. You will also receive a confirmation message in the application's internal mail system.

It's really pretty simple.

Thank you for supporting the development of OmniCoin and OmniBazaar.

An other one? please more ifo about the token sale or tell me where i can find?

You can list products or services and price them in terms of your local fiat currency. The application has no way to accept fiat. But, if you are doing a "local" transaction, where you can meet the buyer face-to-face, you could accept fiat (of course).

Commerce marketplace decentralized platform I would really like to try to buy something through it and compare it with other platforms . Will the marketplace accept fiat money ?

I already downloaded their application and am very pleased with the design and idea of this p2p platform.Literally, I recommend everyone to download the app m to trade without the influence of a third party.

Yes, you are right in what you see. I see here a great idea that will be in demand. It seems that everything will be fine here, over time.
The only thing that hinders the promotion of this project is a weak market, and as a result, weak investor activity. But I am sure that this is a temporary problem that requires only one thing from us: more patience.

Our expression for this is "Barter for Bitcoins" or "Barter for Crypto". OmniBazaar is a "gateway" to owning cryptocurrency without the headaches and delays of open an account and sending a bank wire to an exchange. Even people without a bank account or credit card can barter a product or service and immediately receive some OmniCoins, BTC or ETH.

You`re right! We all realize that this marketplace is not perfect at this stage but this one is only one of the few opportunities for making crypto to be widely used among masses of users. And under "used" I mean not only the buy-sell process for fiat or other cryptos. This project gave a real chance to make changes crypto-lot-fiat for those who have not tried exchanges and therefore make XOM and other cryptos more valuable!

  ;OmniBazaar fees are up to 100% lower than those of existing e-commerce sites like eBay and Amazon. OmniBazaar users deal directly with each other, rather than through a central site like Amazon or eBay. wow this is wonderful

It is clear that this is an advantage over projects that are only in development or plans. I think the problem is in a weak market in which investors have low activity. Although it should be understood that investing in an already working project will be safer than investing in an idea. Therefore, the weak activity of investors for this project is also strange for me.

Nadia is right about our plans for the token sale. We spent a lot of time and money getting the marketplace working and launched. Now, we are hoping to get some financial support from the community. We are hoping that token purchasers will appreciate that we actually released a working marketplace before asking for money from the community.

As I knew from the telegram conversation with the OmniBazaar team member they would keep it live till the end of the 2-nd Q 2019!
All are waiting for the growth of the market, and that this would lead in the more investment. Even the project with a fully working E-commerce platform like OmniBazaar is struggling from the lack of interest of investors. That`s what is very strange at all!

Hello. I would like to ask how long the main sales will continue.
It is pleasant to watch the development of the project, which already has a working platform.

Yes. The OmniBazaar marketplace is open and operating, including a distributed escrow system that we call Secure Send. We recommend that you always use the escrow system if you do not know the seller. Here is an explainer video:  https://youtu.be/Znwfr2EPCNQ

I currently have XOM on the Omnibazzar application, can I use them to buy goods right now?

ATTENTION TWITTER BOUNTY HUNTERS:

Twitter Bounties have now been paid to everyone who provided a valid OmniBazaar username (not private_key).

Tweet about our airdrop and token sale, so that we can get OmniCoin listed on an exchange as soon as possible.

REMEMBER: This is YOUR community marketplace. YOUR support and promotion are important to our success.

I think the negative trust rating of the OP is the worst rating I have ever seen on the BCT platform. Anyone knows someone with a rating that's worse?

LAST CHANCE TO BUY CHEAP XOM TOKENS — OmniCoin "Pre-Sale" Ends TODAY!

I`ll add that today is the last chance to take part in the pre-sale and to buy XOM with the price of $0.0015 USD, which is 50% below the listed value in the marketplace.
Tomorrow the price will rise to $0.002 USD.

And I will also be very pleasant for the info from the OmniBazaar team of how many trades are successfully conducted through the platform?

Our airdrop ("Welcome Bonus"), Referral Bounty and Listing Bounty are on-going. These are attracting more users to the community.

Our Token Sale Event is on-going too.

The team is working to add a counter to the Block Explorer that will keep track of the number of transactions. We will announce that feature here, when it is completed.

This number of users, this is a good result, marketing work from the team. The team must continue to take action to increase the community.
I wonder how many deals have already been made on this platform.
Thanks

Agreed. We think one of our most important functions is to be a "gateway" for new users to enter the crypto space. More users will translate into more value.

Hopefully, those 10k users are also active. With increasing number of crypto users , translates to increase in demand in cryptocurrencies. And that will aid in increasing their value.

Thank you for noting our 10,000th user.

Here is a link to the press release: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/peer-to-peer-marketplace-celebrates-its-10-000th-registered-user-1027949357

It`s amazing to see how is growing the first really working p2p marketplace, with the ability to buy lots for cryptocurrencies including its own - XOM, built on the basis of graphene blockchain. I`ve read that recently the 10,000-th user was registered on the platform and this number shows the real interest to this product. Hope that with the release of the mobile versions of the app this number would increase more rapidly.

It seems to me that this is a great trading platform. In addition, it is clear that the team takes marketing moves to attract an audience. Developers spent a lot of effort to create this.
Now they have to, hard struggle, to gain popularity. If they spend enough effort for this, then they can wait for success.

I think that here you can find everything interesting about the development and plans for the future of this project, last update for December 30th: https://medium.com/@OmniBazaar
By the way, the Sale of OmniCoin tokens began on January 8, 2019.

Thank you very much. But I would like to see the latest information about the development of the project in an medium article or something like that. So what would it all be in one place.

You should contact the chat Telegram bounty, where you will get answers to your questions.)

Got good news for the project community.
From Telegram
Distribution Dates:
OmniBazaar will be distribute on 20-30 January. Firstly investors tokens will be distributed then bounty tokens.

Yes, it is obvious that there is not a lot of news about this project here.
Perhaps someone knows the service where I could get acquainted with the latest news about the development of this project. This is a very interesting idea, and for this reason I wonder how much it is implemented.

hi I cannot access my wallet it just saying username does not exist

Very good request. But I see that the team is not very active here. I also think that this is a very promising project that can bring us a popular service. I think that top-starter could sometimes update information on the development of this project.

yes it looks interesting and it looks like the team has worked well so far. I want to know what is the latest development of this project now? Is the bounty over and what is the team's next plan to provide development to the OmniBazaar? I hope you can provide interesting information from this project right now.

very interesting project. A product before ICO

I`m glad to find that after the successful launch of the marketplace the activity around the project have risen significantly.
The number of users that are joining the project will continue to grow as they have those interest in the quality blockchain marketplace as well as they could earn incentives with in the tokens by doing various activity on the platform.

Could someone test the wallets? Not approved on Apple Store 

I believe it would in the future. Among all other similar crypto sturtups and existing marketplaces this is actually the one that i know, that mange to provide the full developed from zero working version of such complicated product as crypto marketplace.
And besides the security of transactions, reduced fees and peer2peer ability of sell/buy smth with crypto, this one offers us the ability to earn tokens by doing the simple actionds or providing services on the OmniBazaar marketplace or by reffering people to use it!
"Released" version of the OmniBazaar software is available for download now from this link: http://download.omnibazaar.com/support/download?ref=referrer

Obviously, this project is a good idea. But the team will have to make a lot of effort for marketing, so that this service would become popular. I think that many who use online stores, could use this service.

Some more news comes from last day.
According to the official announcement, the official "production" version of OmniBazaar and OmniCoin will launch at 0:00 (UTC/GMT) on 31 October 2018.
Also in order to make this launch possible, some technical and test work should be done. So, OmniBazaar/OmniCoin network is planned to be offline from approximately 12:00 (UTC/GMT) 28 October to 0:00 (UTC/GMT) 31 October.

A few days are left to the beginning of the OmniBazaar token sale!
Want to remind for all that till the beginning of the token sale there was already announced launch of the OmniBazaar Marketplace so now it is ICO which is backed by the working platform!
Here is a short video review of the marketplace platform, where you can look closer at the user interface and learn the basic functions of the OmniBazaar marketplace and the OmniCoin wallet.

They offer the so called "distributed escrow" service on the OmniBazaar marketplace, but as I remember this would be only available as a paid option.
As it is written in the WP - they "provide an escrow service that allows users to do business with other users that
they do not know or trust."
"We have implemented an escrow module to allow volunteer users to mediate between buyers and sellers who do not know or trust each other. Users pay a small fee to the
chosen escrow agent when they choose to use the escrow feature."

I think it will not be a problem. None of the sellers will want to spoil his reputation with bad reviews and controversial things. Directly to preserve the reputation, of the sellers go to meet buyers in disputes. It also happens in Ebay or Alibaba.
However, I am more interested in what about fundraising for the project. What is the information.

Ebay, Alibaba and other platforms take their fees for the services they provide: the users can open the dispute, they can get their money back if the seller deceives them.
Will you be able to offer such services for the users? Will the users have any guarantee that they can close a deal with minimum risk?

Hi, how is the project moving towards success?
White paper says:  "Token sales (four phases)   Q3 2018 " What is the status of the project in this direction? I hope that the team will adhere to the deadlines that are indicated in their document.

Good day! When does bounty end?

OmniBazaar is already rated by Cryptolaboratory. All facts are here. Don't miss it!
 

Interesting project. I like the idea of bonuses: Bonus on registration. Users receive a bonus when someone they referred installs OmniBazaar and registers as a new user. Bonus for the first sale on the market.

I'm glad to see the development of this useful service.
Over the past 6 months, the team has been able to rework the OmniCoin kernel to handle tens of thousands of transactions per second. 
With some new updates you can read here, and also try a new version of the site.: https://mailchi.mp/73782f563127/omnibazaar-release-candidate

That is the amount of points u get when u post a pic of ur face on the coin dashboard. That is payable and could make u rich. The practice of conducting asshollery has netted few of my relatives millions if not billions and both of them are currently holydaying on miami beach with beer and light meth injections. I will see what can be done here when I have time.

I think the only thing which differentiates them is the name. But, there is a lot of things that are actually the same.

Could you please tell me the differences of your platform with other decentralized marketplaces such as OpenBazaar for instance?

Hi everyone! Just added this incredible ICO to my website   https://findico.io/ico/omnibazaar   Findico.io is an online informational platform that claims to offer ICO ratings from top investors and experts. Using the information on the website, you can “invest smarter” and pick the best ICOs. In addition to rating ICOs, Findico offers ICO consulting services and we can help companies with all stages of their ICO.

Did anyone download and try OmniBazaar marketplace?
Would be great to hear any comments on how this marketplace works. Maybe it`s time too put a lot there on sale too.

In my case, there should not be a problem if the buyer and seller are registered in this service. But the seller should be able to access the fiat. Because he needs to pay bills.

Judging by the capabilities of the platform, you can predict the success of the team. But, I want to find out, but how will the buyer directly interact with the seller? How will the ads be displayed?

Review of the OmniBazaar ICO Project and Token OmniCoin fresh from the oven. In this review I discusses the qualities of this descentralizes marketplace and compare it with traditional online marketplaces such as Ebay and Amazon:

Review Article: https://mamaecrypto.blogspot.com/2018/08/omnibazaar-omnicoin-ico-project-review.html
Video Review: https://youtu.be/LfLwyj0I4IE

Hope you enjoy and it.

I must say that this is a very ambitious project, which already has strong competitors.
However, immediately visible, the significant advantages of using OmniBazaar. The use of crypto currency, and the system peer-to-peer, is relevant today as never. It's looks like a great idea.

In one article I found the benefits for the beta testers of the OmniBazaar Marketplace, so I`ll post them here as it could be useeful for the newcomers!

"...What Should You Know about the OmniBazaar Beta Test?
The OmniBazaar Beta Test will include a limited quantity of users. The beta testers will be able to use the marketplace and software. They will also report any issues that they notice before the launch of OmniBazaar takes place. This process will allow for real transactions to take place, ensuring that OmniBazaar works as it should and giving the development team the opportunity to iron out any minor issues. Following testing and debugging, the OmniBazaar marketplace will experience a full launch.

Downloads

Early adopters as well as beta testers receiver OmniCoins for free to use in the marketplace. Users are welcome to join the beta test, and public participation is actually encouraged. You can join the beta testing by visiting the OmniBazaar website."

Well, today I`ve found an interesting article about OmniBazzaar and its goals on chepicap.com!
Here is the link - https://www.chepicap.com/en/news/2887/meet-omnibazaar-the-future-of-e-commerce.html

Link for Beta of the marketplace - http://beta.omnibazaar.com/support/download

most when the coin is already in escrow and the coin is listing on the exchange price will drop dramatically because maybe the total supply is increasing and many coins can not be said rare

Well, as I could see a lot of work has been done on the project before the announcement of the ICO.

Just have read in the WP that OmniCoin is built on the open-source BitShares 2.0 (BTS) code base which is very perspective IMO as it is proved to handle the largest amount of transactions. Although OmniCoin developers have added many important features and functions to Bitsharesas they upgraded the blockchain security method from Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) to Proof of Participation (PoP).
And the most important is that they added escrow for the market, yet it is only an additional option.

Definitely, will look closer to OmniBazaar and I`m waiting for the dates and numbers of the ICO!

what is Reputation score in OmniBazaar marketplace and what about rating on sealing and Tex charges.

Greetings all. You require to append token details to permit participants to join the idea!

maybe I'm running ahead, but will there be a referral system for your project?

I don't understand how you distribute tokens. It is not clear whether you have public sale or some different way?

                                                            Proof of Participation (PoP)
                                                            Proof of Participation (PoP) is a new cryptocurrency security protocol. One component of PoP is the Distributed Proof of Stake
                                                            (DPoS) protocol of Bitshares. We have extended and expanded DPoS by including four other metrics. The software uses these
                                                            metrics to determine which group of users may process transactions. PoP entrusts the processing of transaction only to the
                                                            most active marketplace users. These users would have the most to lose by trying to hack or attack the blockchain. Following
                                                            are the Proof of Participation metrics used to select Transaction Processors:
                                                              • Trust (DPoS votes by other users)
                                                              • Reputation score in OmniBazaar marketplace
                                                              • Activity as a Disseminator (number of new user referrals)
                                                              • Activity as a Publisher (number of listings published for others).
                                                              • Reliability
