A couple of missing items[edit]

This article does not indicate that OB has its own software that users need to install on their computer. Apparently you cannot make use of OB from a web browser.

Also, this article fails to mention that OB "went live" in November 2017 (well, according to them here) --Jerome Potts (talk) 21:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of OpenBazaar[edit]

Is OpenBazaar even a significant entity anymore? Has it ever really been one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BecurSansnow (talk • contribs) 02:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Potential reference from paper[edit]

I was reading through a paper on Bisq DEX hosted on Merlin ^[1] and on page 12 you can see there is a section where they discuss OpenBazaar. I may come back to this page and add information once I'm done going through it, or someone else can beat me to it. Dr-Bracket (talk) 16:27, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
