Saying it with pictures.

*snip*

So it's going to go fully live in November? Does anyone have a link to something that details and explains how it will work in full? Their site and blog only seems to give the bare bones of it. I'm mostly interested in how they will deal with illegal items being sold on there and how will they censor or remove those things. I mean, I don't have a problem with drugs being sold on there but extreme forms of illegal porn and guns would be a no no.

I think they will be running their own portal and moderating it that way. Presumably bad guys will be running their own portals too.

What's up with the Commercial APIs? Haven't seen any documentation what they're going to be.

Since OpenBazaar began in April of 2014, it's been a group of volunteers all over the world contributing spare time to push out new releases every few months.

Altogether we put out five releases, and the fifth of these is what is in our github repo right now. It is usable, but still has bugs and isn't ready for real commerce yet.

Now that several of the core devs (myself included) have formed a company and received funding, we're changing our approach to development. We won't be doing incremental releases every few months, but instead put out a larger version 1 release later this year. Here's what the roadmap looks like. [...]

Any clues if the release due in November will be available to windows users?

Watch this tutorial about OpenBazaar, they explain it pretty well in it how it works without a middleman.

Some people will be making a living and gain reputation via trading on Open Bazaar worth more then stealing $2000. Not everyone will stay anon, perhaps people will link things like their ebay trading account name.

Basically, there will be ways to spend large amounts and still be sure you can trust the deal.

They say it is an non-profit organization, is it true then how come they are able to run this huge Open Bazaar.

Well I think the idea is that the users host the content or run the client in a similar fashion to how torrents work or bitcoin might work. It's definitely an interesting concept but I'm not entirely sure how it will work 100% but I'm very interested to see it in action and give it a test.

Just curious, is there a reason there is not a Java version of this? Then you would have a Windoze client easily.

AFAICS, it's made in python and there is a windows "installer", so I don't see why it shouldn't work on windows... maybe the problem is just the main install program which is a bash script (fine till now) but which uses unix paths and commands.

"They are the middleman in the transactions between buyers and sellers and the fund’s are at their mercy to do as they please." these sentences are bit confusing, this trade seems to be good, but their claim about non-profit speculating my mind.

There's a potential problem with the review system in bitcoin world. As transaction fees are so low it would be incredibly easy for an unscrupulous vendor to fake purchases and leave positive reviews, enticing genuine buyers to pay only to be relieved of their bitcoins in return for nothing. How can trust be built?

is wise to say that someone after the openbazar gets live will offer a conversion ratio to paypal or other payment processor soo with a fee it will be easy to convert btc into fiat.

Hardly unless you managed to build a good reputation and you are doing business with other reputable people.
