At the moment, they're receiving donations [1], but it's entirely conceivable they're going for a similar business model to MySQL's original authors: selling support, consulting services, and training for their products.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Except it works on UDP and not TCP.. TOR does not work on UDP, there are things besides http that exist on the internet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite
Your comment is unnecesarily presumptuous, but regardless... I don't really understand why OpenBazaar would use UDP, and I can't seem to find any information about it, but it looks like they tell server operators to open up both a TCP and UDP port. I guess they might use it for DHT control messages? Their documentation site is down right now, so that's the best I got.

The server would need to be re-written for native support since it uses UDP, but I think it might be possible using a 3rd party like onioncat.
All of the development and communication of this "decentralized" "free software" project happens on Slack, a centralized proprietary service. I've had to tell the sad news about this to far too many people on their IRC channel so far.
And then there is them using GitHub as well.
OpenBazaar people are huge hypocrites.

Looks interesting. Is it essential to their goals that it be a separate app? I wonder why it's not just a website.
Panama papers -- OpenBazaar -- cool!
