Call it however you like, agnostic protocal etc, the fact still remains your going to have ALOT of work to do differentiating yourself from SR and the stigma that comes along with using bitcoin as a currency, especially when media are already using phrases like "police-free" and "sell ANYTHING"...

Maybe brainstorm around:

-"We are like Amazon (or maybe craigslist?), but for bitcoins!" -Require social login. If you truly arent an anonymous marketplace using an untrackable cryptocurrency as method of payment, then requiring social login will be a good way to show the government that you mean it.

Point im making, OpenBazaar definitely has its work cut out for them. Exciting nonetheless, keep us posted!!!

The phrases "decentralized" and "require social login" are mutually exclusive.


Not necessarily. The network itself can be decentralized and anonymous, but the company could use identity services as a monetization technique on top of (as a subset of transactions on) the network.
