Our next major version has Tor support.
What does TOR add to this ? I would assume that all traffic between peers is encrypted, right ? Also, for physical goods, you anyway need an address. IP anonymity can be useful for digital goods and a layer of plausible deniability I guess.

Well, smart contracts can't tell if the seller sent you your plushie.
Why not consult UPS tracking as an oracle for that case?

I thought it was known today that drugs aren't a problem, but people to whom drugs are the only relieve and the criminalisation of those.
Absolutely. It's well established that drugs aren't a problem. I mean, it's only the leading death cause of young Americans. Nothing to see here folks.
I work on OpenBazaar and I'm happy to answer questions. This website links to the current version of OpenBazaar, but we're just about to launch a completely new version, which you can read about here: https://medium.com/openbazaarproject/openbazaar-2-0-p2p-trad... The 2.0 is built with Go and uses IPFS. It's open source and we welcome any developers into the project: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go
It says: "The vendor's server has rejected the purchase request. This may be due to a connection issue. Check your purchase data, such as quantity and Bitcoin refund address, to make sure it is valid. If it is valid, try again in a few seconds. Reason: vendor rejected contract". I've also gotten " Reason: unable to reach vendor"
Has anyone successfully bought anything recently?
Hello, I am looking for a decentralized store that lets me: * Host digital goods (like run a server, or issue an asset ID that can be redeemed on a bittorrent style network for the file download) * Receive payment > register an asset or return a download key to the account of the user who sent it. I want automated digital good downloading, paying & receiving BTC. (Bitpay, Stripe etc pay in BTC but seller receives $Cu…
This comment isn't relevant. Also, dude, you're gonna get caught up by the feds so fast.

Many of the problems we had with the current version are also alleviated with the 2.0 we are releasing soon.

Is there a marketplace I can use to sell digital goods and receive BTC for automatically?

> The bitcoin fees would still exist but presumably would be lower than 2.9% Potentially, but Bitcoin mining fees are currently sky high. I made a couple of purchases recently for about $60 worth of Bitcoin, and the mining fees ended up being about 3.5%. Of course, mining fees are pretty much unrelated to the size of the transfer, so for high dollar amounts the fee is negligible, but ends up being a huge amount for s…
That was the case when the network was clogged, which should be much better now. For a 250-byte (avg) transaction you should be fine with 0.0006 BTC ($1.68, 2.8% of $60). https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ You're right, bitcoin became expensive for small purchases, which is what the whole recent debacle was about. Hopefully Segwit2X fixes this, at least for a while.

What part of it do you think is not decentralised? And how would you propose they implement the system in such a way that Bitcoin miners are incentivised to include fee-less transactions? In terms of fee structure, it is quite clearly an improvement over centralised marketplaces. OpenBazaar is not charging any fees.
If e.g. Shapeshift can walk away with my money when they feel like it, that's not decentralized. If the law can kill off Shapeshift for shady transactions and not following sufficient KYC protocol, that's not decentralized. I'm not sure how to solve the problem of Bitcoin transaction fees. Much, much smarter people than me haven't. But I'm also not promoting a Bitcoin service with "no transaction fees". And I'm not s…

I run the main OB store, and I haven't noted problems selling. One of the difficulties of running a p2p network is that you cannot control how up to date the software is from other peers. We try to keep as much compatibility as possible when making changes, but the network has been live over a year now and never everyone stays updated. Many of the problems we had with the current version are also alleviated with the…
