So what do the Snr's and legends think is going to come of
this tech
Looks like just an encryption layer on top of existing centralized-server based communication mediums. BitMessage aimed to replace the actual communications channel with a decentralized peer-to-peer model, not just add encryption.
Isn't Bitmessage incorporated into Open Bazaar?
If you look at some of the videos on OpenTransactions, FellowT mentions that different encryption methods can be used for messaging and Bitmessage is one being used, at least that is my understanding, so is this thread a discussion solely about Bitmessage and its future, or its use within OT? Its a thread that was started in May 2013, and a lot has happened since.
Pretty much everything about OpenBazaar is a carbon copy of OpenTransaction, One Works through browser, the other a desktop client
I think this thread is mainly about OpenTransactions. Also, OT and OpenBazaar are very different from what I have seen so far. Sure, maybe you could make OpenTransactions do everything OpenBazaar does, but you would have to change a lot of the code and write a lot of your own, since one is specifically designed to issue digital tokens and trade them around, and the other is specifically made to market and sell physical products.
