But how did that translate into sales? He should have sold the business or hired people rather than shut it down. Seems silly to kill a bitcoin business. We need more companies not ones packing in just because its hard work. No business is easy but you have to work hard to reap the rewards. Shame.

He tried to sell the business, even had offers for $250k+ but felt it was worth more. Apparently waiting for that $10 million VC investment to make him rich.

On that note, does OpenBazaar have an auction feature or is it all just stores with fixed prices?


openbazaar is awesome but is until now completly broken and is useless. We wait for the new version now but i am sure that and htis version will be broken and will need another 6 months to be stable. You cant lure users in systems like this.

Considering Openbazaar has not been released yet this makes no sense.

At least wait until it's been released before you talk about how useless it is.

He should have just taken the quarter of a million for it. Better than it just lying dormant not doing anything. 

And I think open OB has been released on some sort of beta I believe.
