Marketplaces where you buy and sell stuff with Crypto
Today starts a series of articles I plan to do on the subject of where can you buy or sell everyday stuff using Cryptocurrency. Thanks to @freddio for the comment which inspired this post.
1. Open Bazaar:
A franchise like setup where you download the store software and run a store from your computer. https://openbazaar.org/
OpenBazaar is a different way to do online commerce. It’s a peer to peer application that doesn’t require middlemen, so no fees or restrictions.
OpenBazaar connects people directly via a peer to peer network. Data is distributed across the network instead of storing it in a central database.
How are there no fees and restrictions?OpenBazaar isn’t a company nor an organization; it’s free open source software. It was built to provide everyone with the ability to buy and sell freely.
Who controls the OpenBazaar network?Nobody has control over OpenBazaar. Each user contributes to the network equally and is in control of their own store and private data.
How do I pay for the stuff on OpenBazaar that I want to buy? You can Pay with one of over 50 different cryptocurrencies on OpenBazaar, including Steem, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Zcash, Dash, etc. Seller receives payment in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash or Zcash.
2. Coin Payments:
This is not a marketplace in the traditional sense, but I think it is a decentralized marketplace.
If you already have a business or online selling point and want to accept crypto in addition to currency, this entity is a add on which is allows you to accept a multitude of cryptocurrencies including Steem, but also Bitcoin, Litecoin and Peercoin. In this way it changes existing marketplaces in marketplaces which accept cryptocurrency. https://www.coinpayments.net/supported-coins
