What advantages will Freemarket have over OpenBazaar?

Well the key difference is, that openBazaar is able to run with any cryptocurrency, while Nxt just added a feature to themselves, that will  probably not run on other cryptos. It works, but it's kinda against the spirit of open source.

No, Nxt has MGW, allowing you to use multiple currencies, including Bitcoin.

Are there any more of these blockchain marketplaces besides OpenBazaar and FreeMarket?  I'd love to know how those two compare to each other.
As far as I know, no. FreeMarket seems to be the only one operating at the moment.

I believe OpenBazaar is also operating currently, although in beta.  Thank you for the link.

Why need trusted nodes? It runs on the Nxt blockchain directly.

I just mean some people won't want to download, install, and run special software in order to buy or sell there.  If there were a series of open nodes they could connect to with only their browser, they would be much more likely to use it.  They would be sacrificing security for convenience but they don't care.

An online service is being developed now.

Reference?

Wow, watching people set their minds on OpenBazaar and completely ignore any alternatives is quite hilarious.

FreeMarket has been out for a few weeks now. The first release was basically an open beta, and the first big update was November 9. It needs more buyers and sellers, but it is definitely showing promise and is functional. It is completely decentralized and runs on the Nxt blockchain. It is not a 'clone' of anything, it is completely original code.

https://nxtforum.org/freemarket/

Wow nice, and you can even invest in freemarket. I'm in.

 Smiley No fees for the rest of 2014, but after that it will cost 7.77 NXT to list an item. And 80% of fees will be paid to FreeMarket shareholders, the other 20% to SuperNET shareholders.

I don't see it taking off without a series of "trusted" open nodes which people can connect to if they're willing to trade convenience for security.

once the dark markets are there its going to take off.

It's only a matter of time. There isn't a single point of failure, it is near impossible to shut down freemarket. This will change the game.

In case anyone else is curious, yes, FreeMarket can be run in a browser. Just download the 'diy' option and run index.html

I believe OpenBazaar is currently functional in beta mode.

For convenience, I wouldn't consider using one of these that isn't accessible via a browser.  I'm 95% sure OpenBazaar is accessible that way.  I'll keep an eye on FreeMarket

Fair enough. The last release (which is still available) was definitely available via browser. I'd be surprised if this version isn't. The .exe file is open sourced, and just opens a WebView to see FreeMarket.
