Fido Escrows preview:


Members can sign up as an escrow mediator, set their own terms, limits and fees, and build reputation via customer reviews.

Traders can select an escrow mediator and use 2-of-3 Bitcoin multisig escrow with the built-in web wallet or an external Bitcoin wallet.

For successful trades, the buyer can release funds to the seller without involving the mediator. In case of a dispute, the buyer can ask the mediator for a refund. Due to the 2-of-3 multisig, the mediator doesn't have sole control over the funds.

Fido Escrows is scheduled for release in February 2022.

Grupo Groups preview:


Users can start public or private groups for their hobby, city or profession with group-only listings (classifieds, jobs, fundraisers and exchanges) and discussion forums. Examples: a Bitcoin buy/sell group for New York City or a Bitcoin artists group.

Grupo Groups is scheduled for release in March 2022.

Bitvendo Federated Marketplace preview:


Bitvendo is an upcoming free and open source federated marketplace platform. Easy to install and customize like WooCommerce with federation like Mastodon.

Setup a single-vendor online store or a whitelisted/open multi-vendor marketplace with a one-click install – a basic VPS or Raspberry Pi is enough. Choose to support products, jobs, fundraisers or exchanges, plus Bitcoin, Monero or cash payments. If you don't want to self-host, you can list your products in an open multi-vendor marketplace (e.g. Bitejo.com).

Customers only need one account to shop in all federated stores, find products in a global search and make use of reputation and reviews. Buyers can use a regular web browser, no need for specialized software or an additional extension.

The open source codebase (PHP, SQL) makes it easy for devs to edit, extend and fork the marketplace.

Bitvendo aims to make it easier to build Bitcoin-friendly alternatives to Amazon, Ebay, Upwork, Fiverr, Uber, AirBnB, Kickstarter, GoFundMe and more – no technical knowledge required.

Bitvendo is currently under development and planned for release in Spring/Summer 2022.

Update:
- New beginner guide available: https://bitejo.com/guide/
The guide includes how to signup, publish a listing, search listings, make an order and use a Bitcoin wallet.

Thanks for the feedback.

The idea is that mediators who already offer escrow services in Bitcointalk, Bitrated, Telegram, etc. can also offer them in Bitejo. For security, established mediators can choose to add a PGP/Bitcoin signed message to their profiles or escrow listings. It's more efficient to allow members to sign up as mediators and build trust via customer reviews than to recruit and hire specific whitelisted mediators.

How it works: Bitcoin escrow is optional. Direct Bitcoin, cash and Monero trades are also possible. Mediators can create escrow listings with min/max limits, fees and terms. When ordering from a seller, the buyer suggests an escrow listing and the seller can view this escrow listing, read the reviews, then accept or decline the order. This means that both traders can decide if they trust the mediator. The mediator can also accept/decline escrow requests. Every escrowed order includes a chatbox that the buyer, seller and mediator can use, which can help to solve disputes. After the trade, the buyer and seller can review the mediator or in the case of a scam, report the mediator. If the mediator scams, their listings and account will be deactivated, but Bitejo is unable to restore lost funds or products.

Unfortunately fake reviews and collusion are still possible, but even Paypal and Amazon have problems with chargebacks, disputes and fraudulent returns. As long as both the buyer and seller trust the mediator, 2-of-3 multisig escrow provides better security than a non-escrowed trade, e.g. in case the seller doesn't send the product or the employer doesn't pay the freelancer.

Updates:
- Improved Wallet Profiles. Sign up, create a Bitcoin web wallet or enter your existing Bitcoin address, and share your Wallet Profile link with friends, customers or followers to easily receive Bitcoin payments.

Examples:
Request a $10 payment in Bitcoin: https://bitejo.com/btc/Bitejo/10-USD
Share a Monero donation address: https://bitejo.com/xmr/Bitejo/

Coming soon:
- Fido Escrows is coming soon. Members can sign up as a mediator and set their fee to mediate trades with 2-of-3 multisig escrow or choose a mediator to escrow their purchases.
- Grupo Groups will be released in Winter 2021 and offers public groups, private groups, group-only listings and group forums. Great for cities, communities, professions and hobbies.
- Bitvendo open source federated marketplace is under development. Users can host their own multi-seller or single-seller marketplaces with an optional federation feature that displays listings in a global search and allows members to use one account across all federations. Users can enable classifieds, jobs, fundraisers or exchanges and accept cash, Bitcoin or Monero. Themes and plugins help users to develop a customized marketplace without technical knowledge. Bitejo.com will remain active as a federated Bitvendo marketplace.

Bitejo Plus free trial:
- Bitejo Plus offers additional features such as extra listings, private listings, One-Click listings, email notifications and saved searches. Don't find what you need? Setup a saved search and receive notifications via email if your desired product is listed. Alternatively enable email notifications for new orders, order updates and private messages.

---

Fido Escrows update:
Fido Escrows is on schedule to be released during June 2021.

Fido Escrows uses 2-of-3 multisig addresses to keep traders safe. Members can signup as escrow mediators for Bitcoin trades and set their own terms, limits and fees. For successful trades, the buyer can release funds to the seller without involving the mediator. In case of a dispute, the mediator decides whether to refund the buyer or release funds to the seller, but has no direct access to the funds. Traders can rate and review mediators.

Federated Platform preview:
A federated open-source platform is under development and scheduled for release in 2022.

The federated platform allows sellers and communities to host their own customizable marketplaces for classifieds, jobs, fundraisers or exchanges. Marketplaces can decide which listing types and payment methods to support. Marketplaces can be open to all sellers or only allow selected seller(s). Marketplaces can be private or federated. Federated marketplace listings display in a global search and members can use one account across all federated marketplaces. Members can access marketplaces via a regular web browser, with no need to install additional software.

The platform will be easy to install/configure and extensible via themes and plugins (no technical skills required). It is based on PHP/MySQL/Apache and can be hosted on any VPS, Raspberry Pi or other server.

The Bitejo.com website will remain active and supported as a federated marketplace.

Support for 2FA apps will be added in the future. Thanks for the offer, I will let you know when the marketing starts.

Announcing basic Monero support:
Bitejo now supports Monero payments.

Right now, Bitejo doesn't have an integrated Monero web wallet. Members must use an external wallet, such as the Monero GUI desktop wallet or the Cake Wallet mobile wallet.

Members can accept Monero payments in New Listing -> Pricing and link their Monero address in Profile -> Account Settings.

Due to the private Monero blockchain, members must check their wallet themselves to make sure that the correct amount has been sent and confirmed, before they complete their trade.

A built-in Monero web wallet is planned in Fall 2021.

Trusted external Monero wallets:
Monero GUI/CLI Wallet for Windows, Mac and Linux
https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/

Cake Wallet Mobile Wallet for Android and iOS
https://cakewallet.com/

MyMonero.com Web Wallet
https://mymonero.com/

Trezor Hardware Wallet
https://trezor.io/

Next updates:
- Fido Escrows for Bitcoin payments (Summer 2021)
- Social Media Bounties and Translation Bounties (Summer 2021)

Thanks again for the feedback. Logged in users now see "Search Listings" and "My Orders" buttons on the homepage.

Email 2FA is available in Settings -> Email Preferences. Members need to link their email address first, before they can see email 2FA options.

Marketing, social media and translation bounties will start in summer, after the release of Fido Escrows.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, signup errors should be fixed now.

Email isn't required but members can optionally link their email address in Settings -> Email Preferences, so that they can reset their password, enable email 2FA, and receive email notifications.

Rate limit has been relaxed. You shouldn't need to wait now.

Bitejo uses flexible tags instead of fixed categories. For example if a baker wants to sell bread, they don't need to search for a "Food" category, but they can simply create the following tags: "food", "baked goods", "bakery", "bread". Members can now search for specific tags on the search page and see the most popular tags on the home page. I can make the tags system clearer.

Members can only leave reviews after their trade is completed. This can't protect against bought reviews, but the same problem exists in Amazon, Yelp, Trustpilot, etc.

An optional escrow feature will be released in the next months, where members can signup as escrow mediators and traders can select a mediator for their trade. It will use 2-of-3 multisig escrow, so that mediators don't have direct access to the funds, but they can refund the buyer or release funds to the seller if there are any problems.
