Realistically there are only about 1 million bitcoin users in total worldwide. It is still very early days. We are aiming to make OpenBazaar a common ecommerce standard using Bitcoin that will allow people to build trustworthy marketplaces on top in many different ways. It's not just about overrunning eBay, it's about providing a global, user-driven and open-source network that will grow in scale as Bitcoin does. The escrow capability is certainly an experiment in many ways, but it also is being done in other countries successfully and we think it's one of the best ways to create a marketplace of trustworthy arbiters rather than have a centralized corporation with rigid policies that treat customers unfairly in most cases.
You have the choice between direct payment transactions which is more risky and should only be used between known parties and then there is a 2 of 3 party multisig escrow transaction that allows a moderator to be an arbitrator for problems and funds are only released if 2 of the 3 parties agree.
Actually, do you have an email address? If you email me (address in profile) I have some ideas on how my side-project might be able to get you some extra visitors.
dude stop being so old. not everyone is a crusty old programmer that can't be hyped up by anything. there used to be a time when programming was fun and we enjoyed being pumped up about new technologies. chill out MOTHER FUCKER!
You're right bro! I need to put down the NEWSPAPER (which is read by DINOSAURS) and get AMPED about some SWEET SHIT. If I can't chill out like a COOL DUDE, then I should just go narc out. With the narcs. In narctown! Thanks, guy! Dudesef! Broheim!
I agree. I would have to concede that sometimes the algorithm is not perfect (nor do I believe it ever could be). I took a glance at the Lord of the Rings and some of the ways that this movie was tagged made it appear stronger in certain categories that would recommend those movies. I have modified the analysis of the movie and I think the recommendations are a little more pertinent.
This comment has really resonated with me as I read it once again. I see this same tired comment on so many threads. Nowhere did I say that I want someone to do all the work for me. I guess there must be a lot of people out there that just want people to shoulder most of the load, but that's not what I'm looking for. I think even the most junior entrepreneur could realize that an idea is not as valuable as the strength of a team or ability to implement an idea. Also I'm not really sure where profit comes into play. There was no mention or discussion of profit or pay nor would I bring that up on a purely exploratory post like this one.
Ratings are included but the weights are possibly not adjusted correctly. It's a work in progress. One man project as well at this time, hence the request.
I am a programmer already, if you look at the link I have created all of this myself. I am merely explaining the type of partner that I expect to team up with. I'm not a nobody idea man.
