Is it really one item in the marketplace or I don't see somehow? I heard that there could be a bug when you don't see, but I don't think that it can be so that you can see only one item and not the other.

There is about 7-8 items. The thing is you should leave the software running so it has time to see everything that gets broadcasted. Sometimes orders can get circulated and then those who weren't connected may take a day for it to get broadcast again while updating. Consider the markets are decentralized and serverless so unless you are always connected you might not see some orders.

Also, we are working on our Bitmessage relay which is basically giving users the option to run a strong server node to relay the traffic to those who missed it and increase the speed. It will be needed for web markets.

David, how long would it take someone to load the web marketplace if they are syncing for the first time.

Well the marketplace doesn't "sync" but it does something similar when catching up with messages as they circulate and it can take up to a day in my experience.
However another thing to consider is users refresh their orders every 2 days so it's possible a message falls out of circulation and then gets refreshed later.
So definitely no longer than 48 hours.

Once we have "master node" relay servers then we can immediately show some of the orders in the main markets. We have a prototype but so far we want
to make more changes to it so it's also conducive for web based markets.

Interesting. Will anyone be able to run a relay node by locking at bitbay as collateral?

I'm wondering about that... what the rules would be for being a relay. Maybe we can do a collateral deal but then there would be some sort of profit system incentivizing them? So far we haven't really focused on that aspect. For now, I'm concerned about the basics of the system and engineering to scale.
