Since you brought it up again, I don't mind reviewing this.
Only allowing wealthy investors fund your project, -8 points.
This is a matter of compliance with securities law. The way we are offering our Private Placement REQUIRES that we accept investments only from "Accredited Investors".
Kickstarter such that normal people get NO equity in your business, -7 points.
Again, this is a matter of compliance with both US securities law and the rules of IndieGoGo. Normal people may at some point be able to invest via our offering at AngelList
(
https://angel.co/omnibazaar-inc), at such time as we have a lead investor who is willing to form what they call a "syndication".
Forking BitShares code without mentioning BitShares explicitly even once, -8 points.
I have edited the OP and added a clear and unambiguous reference to BTSX, and will do so in all other venues where it will not simply serve to confuse people. Almost every coin out there (except Bitcoin) is based on some other coin. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." We think BTSX is great. We're not hiding that, or any of the great features.
Not honoring the BitShares consensus of 10/10 to PTS/AGS holders, -6 points.
See my response here:

Screen shots that look horribly designed, -7 points.
Those are early screenshots, and the interface has improved since then. But, thanks for your input.
This.
What I like, it's that the era of Open Markets it's coming and I'm starting to see a new wave like the altcoins one, but about this stuff.
Of course, we agree completely. And we are making an honest, concerted effort to make it happen. Sooner rather than later.
By the way, wtf about this?
The observant poster on bitsharestalk.org is correct that we have a java UI for the OmniBazaar marketplace application. The marketplace application is separate from the OmniCoin wallet and the Bitcoin wallet. We did this to make the UI as portable as possible to various platforms. We have designed OmniBazaar to be massively scalable, and part of that design is to keep the listings separate from the blockchain.
Thanks for asking.
Best,
Rick
