I'll wait till it goes fully live before I try it out. I am very interested to see how it works, though. Will there just be one Open Bazarr or can anyone make their own. What I want to know is will there be one for like ebay-style goods, then ones for ilegal blackmarket drugs etc.

Most likely, there will only be one big network with everyone's listings listed on the different stores, but you will have the option to "filter out" the illicit stuff from your search results.

I downloaded that and installed it fine but is anyone else having problems with finding merchants? I only have 1 up on mine and can't search for any.

Yes, it is for testing only now --

Thanks! That seems to be the issue, I'll see if I can get that fixed.

you may want to check if you have port forwarding and UPnP enabled on your machine.

You can check it here:

I keep trying to explain the implications of OB to my non-tech friends but they can't get their heads round it. Hoping it's a bit more noob friendly when it gets officially released.

OpenBazaar is cool but is not good enough.

It's early days. Come back in 6 months.

It will likely take longer then 6 months to work out all the kinks. It also needs to get over the "hump" of being able to figure out who people can trust and the likely large amount of scams

Don't use Open Bazaar for anything the 5 Eyes Alliance law enforcement would be interested in.

No one under the project is advocating its use right now even for legal items. It is purely to be tested right now as clearly repeated.

Here is the future roadmap:

Beta 4.0 (November 30)

UI and UX overhaul (Mike's changes)
Reputation network (WoT)
Reviews
Tor integration
Instant messaging integrated #192
Login and password protection
Search improvements
Ecommerce tools (import products from other platforms, integrate with commerce tools)
Private contracts / Private stores
Add donation option (Tips to notary and/or dev team)

Future releases

Simple installation on all major OS
More Contract types
Detailed arbitration system
Support for auctions

Do you guys have anything you'd like to say about the Tor fork?

For starters, it's not even designed for Tor use so somebody forked it to bolt this option on. Who knows what kind of data is leaking to identify you since it was never designed for that level of anonymity. Second, you run your own little server which means it will be that much easier to discover who you are: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-November/007731.html so instead of simply demasking hosts they can now find users too.

It's also alpha, experimental software much like how Tor is still considered experimental software. Open Bazaar has a ton of other uses that aren't illegal to streamline trade between countries and will be an excellent platform for that. Something completely different has to be written to avoid 5 Eyes Alliance law enforcement, like delayed traffic much like how Adam Langley's Pond messaging system works. Simply bolting on some Tor support and firing up your home desktop to trade kilos of cocaine is not a good idea.

You should also watch this first before even thinking about using OB to become the scarface of the internet to see how open source projects can be sabotaged https://youtu.be/3jQoAYRKqhg

+1 on this.

Open Bazaar is still in it's very early stages and it's security is far from air tight. Although it is open source, the protocol has not had enough time to be sufficiently tested. Also the fact that it was not designed for tor/anonymity means that you could potentially be purchasing from an undercover law enforcement officer who can confirm that it was someone from your IP address that ordered something illegal

No offense, but the way I see it, the greatest potential for OpenBazaar is to become Silk Road 3.

Probably not. If they become a place that markets themselves to people trying to buy and sell illegal items then law enforcement will attempt to target both buyers and sellers on Open Bazaar which will harm it's potential for growth

Been playing with OB last few weeks. Can only get a handful of merchants to load. Sad
