Damned thing! It seems I can't even close the software without being connected, which I'm unable to do. There's that full width nav bar on top of the window, but there's nothing on it. I'll have to close it via the Windows' task manager.
Is this still a beta release?

If Lightening Networks can be half as successful as Open Bazarre, things will be looking good for this coin, and price will raise. There like peenut butter and jams.
Yes, Open Bizarre is gonna be bigger than the internet!

81.8 MB so it's quite substantial. It's larger than Mozilla Firefox and Multibit put together, and you can't ignore that you don't need to download anything to use Ebay or Amazon. I guess there should 2 versions of the software. A very light one, then a big one to those who have something to sell.
Are you using a PC or a phone? My Firefox browser cache alone is much bigger than 80 MB.I am getting curious after all the feedback, so I will try it on an old laptop
Of course! I'm not talking about the sizes of cache files, I'm talking about the sizes of the software to download. Firefox is probably 45 MB.
Besides, OB is not working anymore. I'm not in the same place where I installed it, and it cannot connect. "Unable to connect to your server"
Anyone knows what port it uses, so I can check it's open?
Have not used it yet but it looks awesome. Can't wait to give it a try out soon.
I hope this keeps developing. I found the search feature to be very poor. And some of the prices were absurd. Look at the example below.

They are asking $330 for 100 rounds of .556 TulAmmo. That is $3.30 per round for shitty steel case ammo. Please.

for the search you can use bazaarbay.org. it's much more better than trying to search with tags.
and I agree that some of the prices are absurd (not really talking about the ammo specifically because I have no experience with that) but it's still on early stage so there may be some improvements soon.

I checked it out briefly the other day, and there wasn't much stuff to buy yet. It will take a couple of months until we see a decent amount of stuff being sold. As soon as people see the benefits of using this over other methods it will just keep growing itself due snowball effect. I m going to wait a while before using it myself.
it doesn't want to start the default server on my local machine, and it doesn't want to connect to the server i installed on my VPS. probably my company's network service.
I'll try on my home computer this evening, but so far, it doesn't look good in the usability section

When you publish that listing, it is sent out to the distributed p2p network of other people using OpenBazaar. Anyone who searches for the keywords you’ve used—laptop, electronics, etc—will find your listing.
How will this work with millions of advertisements? How does the network search for the keyword? Does every user download the entire list of articles for sale?Not too well, apparently
Here's a browser search front end for OB https://bazaarbay.org (not really up for installing an unknown app).
And that's why It's "Open source" so you are ready to install an unknown app .
Why in the world would I want to spend days auditing code/eliminating possible attack vectors, just to install something of dubious value? What fresh craziness is this?
Did *you* audit the code before installing?
this is like the next greatest invetion after Crypto
and its complementary
It looks great but I'm going to sit & wait until it gets a bigger userbase & more trust before I dip my toes in.

It looks quite interesting to me and it can help traders and producers of various goods and services to open their trading to a market of people they never thought they could market to before who also have a lot of Bitcoin to spend on products and services. Personally this could only be a good thing and I will certainly pass it around to a few people I know who produce things.
I'm a little disappointed. I signed up for the email list that was supposed to inform merchants about the launch so that they could be ready with a store already setup for the launch. I never got the email, but I began seeing many posts about how OB had already launched! I still have not tried it out yet, but I am really looking forward to it. I just wish I could have been ready in time.
The interface doesn't look nice. It's too dark, and the first available products aren't much exciting either, it' doesn't look professional. Then a major turn-off is that to use it you have to download a big file. I'd be happy to sell stuff via OpenBazaar though. I just wish it would look more like Amazon.
it's just 70MB...

Couldn't get it to work, guess I'll wait for another less buggy release.
Doesn't work for me too also. I couldn't connect after half an hour of trying.
I was excited to try it, but what to do. We will need to wait some update or new release.
I hope everything will be ok soon.
Running perfect with me: ob://b7ebfbe0663ae93eff2d3e803463894674743408/store
I like it. Its not an eBay competitor, its different. I like opening up the app and discovering new merchants and items.
