unfortunately ONLY ONE form of payment at a time - at least for now.

what is required is the ability to pay in any currency, at the price asked.

what we have now is each item needing to have its price adjusted as and when BTC adjusts.

its tiresome and ultimately not worth the effort.

as long as ive been looking fwd to OB, its roll-out has left me underwhelmed.

on multiple fronts, but its early days and no reason we cant have an awesome marketplace in due time.

i'd also like to see a block/name&shame user function - already had one abusive visitor

OpenBazaar Opened , your first impressions ?
I see it has potential. And I can sell/buy my stuff on it, for less.
It is nice that you are opening a store and so you are also make Bitcoin more popular and used and that is perfect for the currency.
But you have also to promote it more to make it more popular so that is important.
Well you not gonna make it more popular if you do it on the openbazaar to be honest because with the open bazaar only users that using the bitcoin are on it.

that is a good thing because if OpenBazzar becomes popular enough like eBay then people will use bitcoin more and it helps bitcoin to grow.

also i might be mistaken but i think you can use any form of payment there, fiat included.

It won't install, either on my Vista-loaded HP laptop bought in November 2008, or on my new Vulcan Windows 10 laptop bought today at Fry's. I get a standard error message, which refers me to a Squirrel setup file.

OB is the best place to buy bitcoin art & jewelry made by stoners out of scraps of household wiring. Bar none.

Number of times I have brought up "garden shears" (prior to this post): 0

Well, you've said 'non-sequitteurs' about 3 times, not 0, so perhaps it's you that needs to put the pipe down? Why are we interested in scissors, that aren't scissors? If not scissors, er, uh, what are they? Exactly? Why do you, or anyone else, care?

If acting like a dimwitted assburger is your internet persona, and you never break character, I admire your dedication. Kudos!
Otherwise, dial 911 immediately & remain on the line until help arrives.

Another non-sequitur. Diagnosis: ineducable.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why it is you keep bringing up garden shears (even more bizarrely, "non-gardening shears"Huh). Educate me about these garden scissors you keep mentioning, and what it has to do with the topic at hand

I suggest you start spending substantially less coin on drugs. Or substantially more. What you're doing now is clearly not working for you.

It is nice to have a shop and that is also nice for Bitcoin itself so you can make Bitcoin more acceptable and that is quite nice.
The only thing is that you must make it more popular and that is also important otherwise people will not know it.

That's nice. Safe to say that no one outside of the Bitcoin community (those already using BTC) will use OpenBazaar.
Why would anyone go through the hassle of buying BTC & installing an unknown app? To shop on an online marketplace with poor selection? that you can't meaningfully search? Perhaps lack of buyer protection is gonna draw them in?

Everyone keeps bringing up eBay's high fees. Have you gentlemen ever heard of Craigslist? No fees to buy or sell, use any payment method you wish, even BTC.

What's your point?

You are right about that it only need to get a lot more popular so even people that do not use the bitcoin are knowing it, this will also help the bitcoin for sure.
I really like the openbazaar although I must say there is still not a lot for sale these days, I hope this will change soon.

That was your point? Ok

Sorry, clearly overestimated you. But, alas, while a word to the wise is sufficient, you need things spelled out. So here you go, Tiger:
My point is rather obvious: Since no one engaged "in successful agorism anything on OpenBazaar," your post ("Number of people engaging in successful agorism on Craigslist: 0,") was either a non-sequitur or simply stupid.

If you need further tutoring, please see me after school -- you're holding back the rest of the class.

Right, uh, get well soon? Huh

Hehe, NEW project but it's full of errors. It does not matter that it's new. It's a crap. Also, it costs 1 mil USD according to their website Smiley

1 million and they come with this shit?!?!?!? pffff. Something is wrong with these people and of course with the stupids investors.  Grin

You can hire IBM or any other giant software company with these money and they can create the software you may need not a crap which can be easily call  ; Open shit ERRORs bazaar

To their credit, I believe they hav released the FIRST EVER decentralized P2P marketplace app (other than Taaki's proof of concept). I agree that it's sloppy, and I hate the choice of python/nodeJS etc for this type of app.

Nonetheless, it mostly works, and it's a huge step forward in software concept and design.

I agree that to their credit they are the first to release something like this and naturally it will not be perfect.  The stores will fill up and kinks will be worked out if there is a serious demand for this kind of service, which I think there is.  I did my taxes and paid way too much to the Bay simply to sell.  10%, then paypal's fee, then cost of item, rediculous.   I am rooting for this all the way!
