Open Source, P2P Decentralised Market Released
« on: July 10, 2014, 11:35 PM »
This could be VERY big. An open source, P2P decentralised marketplace.

That's where it is maintained.

On Reddit:

http://www.reddit.co...lized_and_anonymous/

  • Decentralized, no servers
  • Bitmessage as a transportation medium
  • One "Public channel" for offers, "Messages" for direct communication
  • Bitcoin for payments
  • Three multisig addresses: one for the payment, two for insurance payments
  • Buyer and seller both send 5% of the sum to one multisig address
  • Both have an (5%) incentive to be honest and stick to their side of the deal
  • After the buyer receives the goods, all three payments are released: 5% back to the buyer, payment to the seller, 5% back to the seller

This could be a threat to eBay and Amazon at some point, but we'll see.

Here's a fun video for BitXBay:



It also gives a bit of flavour for what it's about. Sweet!
