Probably yes. https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar3-rust which host code for OpenBazaar 3.0 receive last code update on April 20 this year.

It's been a long time since I've heard about OpenBazaar. I've thought it was a goner by now. Glad to know development is still on-going. What I didn't like about OpenBazaar was the terrible user experience. Particularly on mobile devices. This limits the decentralized marketplace's ability to reach widespread adoption worldwide.

I wouldn't say the development is on-going when date of first commit on Mar 27 2023 and date of latest commit on Apr 20 2023. And yes, older OpenBazaar had poor UI/UX with technical limitation seller need to be online in order potential buyer find their product/service listring..

With regulatory pressure increasing each day, I wonder if OpenBazaar will survive? Would you imagine someone selling illegal stuff on the platform? Developers might be held accountable for this. Particl marketplace is also on the same boat. The future is widely unpredictable, so we can only hope for the best.

It's something we'll need to think if OpenBazaar 3.0 launched and manage to gain popularity.

So, was/is this vaporware?

It's still on "openbazaar 3.0 - coming soon"... would be really nice to have a proper alternative to all those crappy marketplaces like ebay!

In Settings (try ctrl G), the last tab (Advanced), third field
But it is a read only field.

hmm... ctrl g didn't work. I found manually but it seems like it's not that for me because the third field (connection security rules) are empty.

Maybe a different version, mine is 1.1.2 for Linux.

OB doesn't work for me.
The server (local) doesn't work as it should do, so nobody can see my items.
After 3 days of testing and headaches I discovered that I'm after a NAT connection (it's my mobile provider, Wind IT), in fact under setting/advanced/Firewall it say "firewall.SeverelyRestricted".
I don't know what I can do, and I can't change provider right now (most of them seems to use NAT anyway). I wish I don't need to pay for a VPS, to me it would be like keeping my own bitcoins on an exchange (absurd).
I hope there is a solution or the next versions of OB could solve this problem.

Anybody having the same issue?

where's this firewall setting that you speak of? I don't see anything like that. one of my connections (a dial-up connection for another PC) is not working for OB so I want to know how to fix it also.

I can live with the UI decisions but I have an awful lot of trouble with constant disconnects. Excuse my ignorance, but why UDP? Huh

Some updates:

https://blog.openbazaar.org/weekly-development-update-november-2-2015/

Looking good but I thought there would be a stable release around now.
Also waiting for Windows binaries.

Neither will come until absolute perfection is achieved in TWO WEEKS.

I thought it was set up november last year? Think im wrong. Will there be some sort of discount coupon before opening?

Quote from: vendetahome on August 03, 2015, 02:45:30 PM

am i the only one who can not access the website? from the title post that i read i think that it would be a really good idea and i would definitely buy something for my bitcoins i have

What the hell people? Do you have any idea what OpenBazaar is?

Not know what is OB until I spent a few minute reading the detail from google. Now I know it is a place fot everyone and decentralised.

Just by opening a store on ebay demands a fee and it sucks for those who just wanted to sell their used items.
Might be a good time to start as a merchant in the site as soon as it opens. I will be selling items there from tshirts to handbags
