Orderbook seems to working now, after they made some upgrades. But they gave us a bad start, and now we have to repair the damage and reach out to investors who got turned away.  

In any case, we are also working to get large investors into the system, so I think we will see some big movement in the coming days. Our sale is 4 weeks long, it's still quite early.

Orderbook has indeed been causing us headaches, with some people locked out, or the widget not loading at all. We are working with the vendor to get it fixed.

The beta test invitations have been sent to everyone who signed up.

A few things to note:

- There are three versions, one for macOS, one for Windows, and one for Linux. The Linux version hasn't been tested on every flavor of Linux, so we'd appreciate feedback on that. (And feedback on everything, of course!)

- You will need test ether in order to buy anything, and test BBT in order to list anything. Your invitation email has instructions on how to get those.

- There is one known issue that we are trying to deal with: the app runs on the Ropsten test network, and computationally expensive operations, like listing an item, have become infuriatingly slow recently, so we are working on a fix, either to the app, or by setting up a private test network. We'll have a fix as soon as possible, hopefully by the end of the week.

Thank you for your help with testing! Please break things

We tried for tonight, but couldn't quite finish. The invites will go out starting at 9.00 in the morning on the 10th, Swiss time (CET).

OK, thanks for letting me know.

We are a friendly, multilingual bunch - come say hello!

The last few weeks have been pretty intense for the BitBoost team. I haven't been in this thread in quite a while because of that, but someone in our Telegram channel gave me a heads-up on the activity here.

By the way, our channel is here, and is our preferred way of staying in touch with the community:

https://t.me/BitBoostint

A quick summary of where we are at the moment:

1. Our token main sale begins Tuesday (Oct 10)
2. We are trying hard to get our public beta out the door on Monday (Oct 9)
3. We'll be at several events over the next couple of weeks. I'll add a post with the dates and locations. Come meet us!

Finally, in case I didn't say this above, I am Paul Mahone, the CEO. You can find me in the Telegram channel, or at paul.mahone@bitboost.net.

I have made a contract:

0x934cbbe5377358e6712b5f041d90313d935c501c

It's a small experiment, just 5 participants (so 4, since I have joined it already), mixing 1 ether.

Eat your heart out, DraftKings, this can't be shut down. Well done, devs!

 

That is correct, and we have CoinoUSD payments functioning now and in testing. Should be in the next release.

And yes, we use ShapeShift for coin conversions.

And no, those screenshots are not photoshopped. (I am flattered, I guess, that they fooled someone!) That is what the UI looks like, and it is functioning and available right now.

Escrow is built into the next version, which will be out soon-ish.

What... what was that?

If true, that sounds a bit... risky. If you need to run a node in order to sell your items, then you are a target, possibly an identifiable one. This is exactly the structural flaw that SR, SR2, etc have. If you rely on a server, you will be found and taken down/prosecuted. The blockchain solves this particular problem.

The core interface is a web interface, yes, but the interface at fremarketlite.com is different. That one was not made by the core team, that's what I meant.

I have not yet tried either on a phone, but the core one is responsive, so I am hopeful that it will look good on a phone.

FreeMarket is "free as in speech," not "free as in beer." It is without restrictions, not without cost.

The fees are extremely low though. You're looking at 15 to 20 US cents to post an item and sell it. A buyer will pay about 2 cents. That's no matter how expensive the item is, and variable quantities will be in the next release, so if you sell several of an item, the fees to post per item will be even lower. Post 100 of an item, and you're paying 0.02 cents per item.

The web interface was made by that same user. The core devs didn't make it.

A web interface has already been developed (not by the core team, but by another NXT user who liked FreeMarket). They still need an SSL certificate, but here's the address:

https://freemarketlite.com

That might work well on a phone browser, I am looking forward to trying that out 

O HAI.

I am one of the devs. I like to think we are friendly and intelligent

We certainly love feedback. "The devs are listening," I like to say. We are committed to making FreeMarket as good as it can possibly be, and for that, we need to know what users want.
