Overall Look and feel for Open Bazzar is great. I tried it myself and found it to be very user friendly and easy to Use.
Hats off to the ones who developed them

Openbazaar's open source delelopment looks like a joke, so bad the people at /r/buttcoin are making fun of it.

For a new project you should not blame them for not being mature on all fronts. Maybe an open source developer wants to improve on this Wink

'Somebody should fork OpenBazaar to create OpenBazaar Classic so the initial euphoria can be sustained.'
LOL

OpenBazaar should not be blamed for not being mature on all fronts. All the projects in the begining has flaws and we need to fix them .
So thats not a big deal unless the bug is left unattended.

I think it was Avast Deep Screen against PUP blocking the installation. I finally got it working after a scan.
p.s. I had to install i386 instead of x64 on Windows 8.1 64 bit (installion failed every time)

what is your first impression on this when you tested it ?

Don't waste your time until they implement anonymity:

Not sure about this Hoffman character. Also the nodeJS/python client/server architecture is bloated - I don't want to run all of this (likely insecure) shit on my machine. Sorry if it's a harsh review.

Have to agree here.

Did anyone do a security review on the application?


Haven't seen a code audit yet. My concern would focus on the pseudo-UDP protocol they're apparently using - seems like the type of thing to be vulnerable to buffer overruns, etc. Given that the app has to run 24/7 to work right for vendors, I imagine that we'll start seeing exploits happening soon. Hopefully people will be paying attention and report here when they get hacked...

Someone could even start a thread... OpenBazaar Security audit... I'm not technical enough to moderate it...

Any figures on the total numbers of listings and sellers? There seems to be quite a bit of action on there by the sound of it.

I think the next necessary step toward success must be IP address obfuscation.


What do you mean ? As far as I know addresses aren't shown for public .

Your IP is visible to other nodes and is tied to the contracts you sell, purchase, or notarize.

I think the next necessary step toward success must be IP address obfuscation.

(probably) Tor or I2P

It will happen.

We was all waiting for this moment since years , what is your first impression on this when you tested it ? Can we really beat eBay ?
You guys started selling your goods ? I personally didn't start ... yet .

I already bought some nice bitfoin keychains, and my first impressions are very good, looks like good site for sure

And i don't think that we can beat ebay because here you can't pay with fiat, bitcoins only? So that's downside

I didn't have any connection issues last time I tried to log in and the strange thing is that my firewall prompted a warning about adding permission to connect to a new app and the strange thing is that I didn't authorize it and I still managed to connect without any problems. Maybe the connection issues are a regional thing or something.

OpenBazaar ‏@openbazaar 10h10 hours ago

Next update that fixes connection issues and resource exhaustion coming soon.


Great! Thank you if you're in the team behind OB. It's a fantastic project, with huge potential, but it still needs work. I guess developers shall prioritize work related to ease of connection and stability issues over those over design, or personalization options.
I have a feeling they're working towards more security options and creating patches and so as opposed to the connectivity or personalization aspects of the client, since the connectivity is fine, for the most part, unless there is something on your end blocking it.
With something like OpenBazaar, I think security is the most important aspect of it, especially when large amounts of Bitcoins are involved.
I've had some connection issues at the start but resolved them fairly quickly.

It seems interesting marketplace and having promising future in my opinion. That's will help the Bitcoin's community to make their trades and deals without any issues surely.

I really like the open bazaar lay out and its also pretty nice that its working so well, I thought it would be a disaster at the first month with connections at all.
I really like the dashboard overview and the fact that you can search easily plus follow someone.

i couldn't run it properly when i tried it a while ago, and i don't know what i am doing wrong. maybe it is because of the beta phase, i don't know! so i think i am going to wait until the release.
but so far from what i have read here and on reddit i find the project super interesting and i am so excited.

My first impression is that its pretty nice and also pretty easy to setup and also easy to search something up.
Its really similar like ebay, I must say the developers did a great job it looks good and is working pretty good.
