OpenBazaar2.0 and I2P

Besides the panic about the normal cat and mouse game Law Enforcement has always played, there are some more important things to talk, inform and think about.

Anything I know is that OpenBazaar2.0 is for decentralized servers and I2P is for a better darknet.

Am I right?

The Grand Wizard has tried i2p several times and has never been able to get the damned thing working right. We suppose that we could figure it out if we dedicated a few days to mastering the ins and outs. But we have serious doubts that most of our loyal customers would make the effort.

We remember The MarketPlace (TMP) well: it was a state-of-the-art DNM on i2p which used only multisig transactions. For 2013-14 it was well ahead of its time -- too well ahead of its time. Schultz, the main support staff guy, spoke a combination of German, English and Assembler: his efforts to educate users on how to set up the i2p bundle and sign multisignature transactions were painful to read if you didn't have a graduate degree in Computer Science. The great lesson the Grand Wizard took away from TMP's fall was this: it doesn't matter how secure your market is if users can't access it. And until i2p is as easy to set up as the TBB we don't see an i2p Darknet taking off.

I2P was designed to work with hidden services while tor was designed to work with clearnet and hidden services. In theory i2p is better for us but that depends on the security of the software, since it's not as battle tested and funded their could be a lot of exploits we aren't aware of. Open bazaar 2.0 is the same thing as it hasn't been throughly vetted and will be hot off the presses when it's released.

So yes they could be better for us but it may be a while before we can give it the front seat

How Bazaar.

I can't be the only one that's sick and tired of hearing about OB. The shit doesn't work. It's been in development for forever. And from where I sit, all I hear is talk about how great it might be SOMEDAY.

Until it's functional and deployed, on TOR, it has no use to us.
