Is this project still alive?

Yes, but the code of OpenBazaar v2.0 is completely different from v1.0 and changed continuously before release.
So I'll releaze FreeBazaar (XMR-Version) after official release of OB.

I don't understand what the difference will be? Do you have any idea when OB will open?

So this project is to integrate XMR with OpenBazaar, correct? Or is it to fork OpenBazaar to a completely separate codebase that supports XMR?

At first stage just integrate XMR into OpenBazaar as fork "FreeBazaar".
On the second if it possible, commit all into OpenBazaar. If not (because BTC is very hardcoded, OB-dev may decline it) then it will be parallel/separate XMR-Bazaar.

I suggest you make your fork have an API so it works with any crypto coin. Then if they don't accept your commits, then yours may likely become the dominant fork, assuming you have the resources and skills to carry it forward.

Whereas, if you make your code Monero only focused, then it has no wider-scale attractiveness to gain the political support you need.

This may be a good idea and clearly worthy of some debate! Thanks TBTB

Edit: it also potentially spreads your risk of wasted effort away from 100% dependence on any one outcome.

When the happens the visibility of Monero will improve significantly.

So with the alledged OpenBazaar release coming up, it would be a good time to provide us with your curren thought regarding the project. If you are not going forward with it, I suggest you just donate the remaining funds to the dev fund or ask your donators what they would want you to do with it.

Yes, they will be ready soon, and during current work OB-devs changed a lot. What breaks my code permanently.
Therefore I'll release a new fork with actually synchronized status in some days after official release.

Are you saying it will only take a few days to complete after they release? You code quickly!

No he's only saying it will take few days so that what was working before will be working again.
You can call this "completing" if you wish, but you'll be the only one. It was actually fairly little, and that's why it won't take long to (re)adapt it.

Maybe a better implementation is Bitmarkets' idea.

Atrides,
Now that you've had a chance familiarize yourself with OpenBazaar, can you describe what needs to be done to make it compatible with XMR and estimate how long it would take to do it? Also, what are the obstacles to completing the project as you initially proposed. Are there technical difficulties? Do you need help?
Best,
pa

so, any news atrides?

at least openbazaar is developing quite fine: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3e1aeb/openbazaar_and_ob1_to_launch_by_thanksgiving_2015/

I will answer together. Yes, I'm still working on it.
The main problem in OB is hardcoded bitcoin integration. If they will make it a little expansible, it will be great. But currently state of OB - extremely closed to BTC.
My patches integrate XMR support, but it looks like "side/non-main coin".
If OB don't want to separate coin-code and market-code, then we have only two ways:
1) keep FB and always update it with OB patches. May be they will accept our patches, but I'm sceptical due to hardcoded BTC.
2) separate branches and have completely own way.

He maybe not the one most talky.... but hey he opened this thread when he already could have gone away

He opened this thread 1h after I posted this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11601988
And he shouldn't go away because he has a well-known mining pool running, that keeps generating money. This might be a good reason to drag everything for as long as people have patience... (not saying this is what he does, just that the incentive exists).
Now I got refunded what I asked (50% of my donations), and this is none of my business anymore. But folks, my advise: having more patience than me and being delusional are two different things.

I'd really like to see one of these decentralised markets that allows the possibility to accept many different alt coins. Maybe people might have a use for all those cannabis coins then Grin

. Can't wait for these type of markets to become the norm.

You do not need any other coin but Monero.

stealthcoin people already think way ahead of monero about fork openbazaar but their side seem pretty quite lately

StealthCoin/StealthSend based Openbazaar will be more trustless and thus more anonymous.

As far as Monero does not have multisig feature, StealthCoin can develop multisig feature. This means that StealthCoin can be used in 2 party (trustless) escrow.

lots of uninformed shilling in this board today.

on topic: I doubt we'll ever see any real results or prompt repsonses by atrides. not sure if he can already be considered scammer, but I wouldnt be surprised, if we never hear from him again.

I remember that there was also more than one complain about the payout of his xmr-pool.
