A couple of missing items

This article does not indicate that OB has its own software that users need to install on their computer. Apparently you cannot make use of OB from a web browser.

Also, this article fails to mention that OB "went live" in November 2017 (well, according to them here) --Jerome Potts (talk) 21:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of OpenBazaar

Is OpenBazaar even a significant entity anymore? Has it ever really been one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BecurSansnow (talk • contribs) 02:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Potential reference from paper

I was reading through a paper on Bisq DEX hosted on Merlin ^[1] and on page 12 you can see there is a section where they discuss OpenBazaar. I may come back to this page and add information once I'm done going through it, or someone else can beat me to it. Dr-Bracket (talk) 16:27, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
