How anonymous/decentralized is the marketplace going to be?
With being closed source at launch..  I'm guessing nsa nodes/backdoors all over the place  Sad



Thanks for the humor Rocoro : -)

As you guys all know, we are serious about changing the landscape of how people interact on the internet. BitBay is about giving people the freedom to buy and sell regardless of what country they live in. When we say join the revolution, we mean it.

If government agencies want to get involved, they will have to buy BitBay first. : -)  And by all accounts, David is going to make it expensive for them to do so : -)

So it's not going to be open source then?

It is, its only obfuscated python to prevent easy deciphering of logic. It is done this way for audits and protection from lazy cloners. An advanced coder should be able to understand it. One day I will remove the obfuscation too and put it on github. But at least you can check for back doors.

What part of it is python? I thought altcoins were usually C++. That's interesting that you're obfuscating it, in the scripting world that is basically not open source. Cloners will clone anyway, but you're right that it wouldn't be a lazy effort to clone with obfuscated code. Cool project! I will sell my stash and buy in again when you open source it. Thanks for replying!
