what is your first impression on this when you tested it ?

Don't waste your time until they implement anonymity:

Not sure about this Hoffman character. Also the nodeJS/python client/server architecture is bloated - I don't want to run all of this (likely insecure) shit on my machine. Sorry if it's a harsh review.

Have to agree here.

Did anyone do a security review on the application?


Haven't seen a code audit yet. My concern would focus on the pseudo-UDP protocol they're apparently using - seems like the type of thing to be vulnerable to buffer overruns, etc. Given that the app has to run 24/7 to work right for vendors, I imagine that we'll start seeing exploits happening soon. Hopefully people will be paying attention and report here when they get hacked...

Someone could even start a thread... OpenBazaar Security audit... I'm not technical enough to moderate it...
