Open Bazaar now listing 44 cryptocurrencies - including Steem

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Open Bazaar is a decentralised marketplace, where users can buy and sell physical goods for bitcoin, bitcoin cash or zcash.

They've just announced a new category of listings, 'Cryptocurrencies' with 44 currently supported, and more to come.

I reached out on twitter, and got an immediate reply listing the 44 currencies.

BCN - Bytecoin
BTC - Bitcoin
BTCD - BitcoinDark
BTG - Bitcoin Gold

DGB - DigiByte

FCT - Factom

KMD - Komodo
LSK -Lisk
LTC - Litecoin

QTUM - Qtum
RDD - ReddCoin

It's not an exchange or steem wallet, so you can't keep a trading balance of steem on hand, nor can you place buy and sell orders at specific prices (looks like the seller sets the rate, denominated in USD), but it's another option for buying and selling steem; with the benefit of an escrow service (Verified moderators)

Which means it's now possible to list physical items for sale on open bazaar, be paid in bitcoin, and use that bitcoin to buy steem, all on the one site.

Exciting times

Oohhh! Im already thinking of things to sell 😁

That sounds awesome!
Maybe one day we will have a website like ebay where you just pay with steem xD

We have a couple of retailers, but they're quite niche. @phelimint takes steem for silver coins and bars. @steemitshopaus sells steem merch for steem; but they're the only two which spring to mind.
Imagine buying something with an upvote.

waiting for a service provider, who after crowdfunding, would protect me from violent people... separate statists from healthy humans ;)

That's where we're headed. Fiat collapses, so does its issuer.

Feels like Christmas :) how long?! What is your estimate? I'd say 1 year? Max 2, but it is impossible to know for sure...

Closer to 5 I think. It's still imminent, but that gives peope time to forget about my prediction if its wrong :)

It all depends how the elites will decide to play it out... I don't think they can pump this poopcastle that much longer no matter what. I think we need a crowdfunding platform before the bazaar... but still psyched we are going that direction :)

Orwell was right (apart from socialism)

The development of the world has been very advanced, along with the development of digital currency or Cryptocurrency. Hanpir all companies are trading the currency, let us continue to support the development of currency and business development continues to advance@mattclarke

Neblio!!!

Yes to Neblio :D

How exciting,

Any additional way that makes it easy to buy, sell and or trade crypto to build your stack or diversify is a good thing in my book!

It's a huge news, Congratulation man!
upvoting and resteeming.

Interesting, how do they monetize off of their websites with no fees? Adveritising...?

this is the 3rd good news of the day,

  • STeemit reached 1 Million users.
  • Steem is ranked 2nd in China.
  • This one, yes exciting times.

Sir, I was installing Path of Exile, but It starts downloading 10 Gb data but due electricity break down i couldn't complete the download, is there any other way to play the game?

No, you'll need to install the full game in order to play. There's still quite a while before we start, though; so maybe give it another try.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Open Bazaar is a great name. Feeling deshi or local word
Is that from India or Pakistan or Bangladesh. It's a great opportunity for crypto lover.

Wow!!! Great news @mattclarke
'Cryptocurrencies' with 44 currently supported and included steem.....
It's also good news for all the steemians......

This is great news. We should target more sites like this to firstly accept STEEM and secondly get organised and get Steemians to use these sites and show them that STEEM is an active community of spenders.

Steem is a product they list for sale rather than one of the internal currencies they use; but you're right. That can change :)

Oh, I misunderstood. They are selling crypto too :-D

thanks @mattclarke, have been sharing news useful for steem user, i really like about post @mattclarke, hope good day.

Great, will gather more information about it.

I have a question: Will it be possible to buy steem using Paypal and the steem be sent directly to my account in steemit?

Not through open bazaar, at least not at the moment. You could message a seller and ask them, but they're unlikely to do it, as you could wait a month, then have the transaction reversed by Paypal.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

This majorly badbutt... I'm feeling pumped!!!

How awesome. :)

Will check it out. I wonder if I can sell my Merch there?

Can't see why not :)

Can we do the same for steem ?
That is really amazing. Buying things for steem , that would be great

Yes. Sell steem to another open bazaar user for bitcoin, then spend that bitcoin on whichever goods you want to buy.

Wow...that's some interesting improvement they made. Looks like a perfect place for the crypto people. Using crypto as a payment, make it more use like liquid.

Thanks for the info @mattclarke! I downloaded OpenBazaar on the day of launch and I was excited but I never really figured it out. I will have to go back and give it another try.

Me too. Let us know how you go.

Open Bazaar including steem.... !!!!
Great news for steem holders .. Specially me..Because i am also steem holders.. For including steem in open bazaar, Hope that it price and marketcap increase.. thanks @mattclarke.. for great update

That's awesome. So essentially Open Bazaar is now a crypto exchange. That's exactly what we needed: a decentralized crypto exchange.
