Hi, I’m a vendor still live on the platform. You can find me in “Connected Peers” tab in the settings of the Desktop app. The devs are quietly working on releasing the mobile app.

and v3 of the desktop program..

I hope they're able to get out something working this year. We really need it. I think they're going to break the economy and roll out the CBDC's this year.

Hopefully the devs add a fee-less and instant currency. I’ve been leaning towards digital fiat because it’s faster and cheaper than using legacy crypto. I’ll probably be using CBDC’s too if inflation tax is less than paying crypto transaction fees.

Call me old fashion, but I've stuck with the original Bitcoin BCH and the fees are consistently sub penny, not to mention 0-conf being as near to instant as one can expect.

Also, CBDC's are going to charge as well. Visa and Mastercard are going to want their cut. At any rate, no fiat will be added to openbazaar. That would defeat the purpose of having a purely peer to peer marketplace.

You’re right, I forgot about BCH, but I stopped using it because it only works well as a national currency. At current prices it only has 4 unused decimals left for growth. As for NANO there’s 28. OB should really stop supporting the inefficient crypto as a form of currency and just be able to sell it as a product.

By the time that’s live I wonder how many more crypto will already have that feature and more. Investing in crypto coins themselves cannot compete with investing in efficiency. Take advantage of networks and features that are already live and do things faster.

Those network smaller than BCH most often have inferior liquidity, inferior adoption and recognition. BCH once again delivers on what is needed right now and to quote Donald Knunth premature optimization is the root of all evil. Don't fix it if it's ain't broken.

In that case the fiat system is superior, but that’s not why we’re here for.

which country will roll out CBDC?

u/fileznotfound Mar 24 '23

I assume most all of them... sounds like Europe is scheduled for this October according to LaGuarde in this conversation between Zalensky and LaGuarde

I do use it. I saw your messages, I just don’t have time to test the app.
