OpenBazaar Test: how the Bitcoin Ebay works

The Bitcoin Marketplace: OpenBazaar Test

Recently OpenBazaar, the decentralized marketplace where you can buy items for bitcoins, launched its new 1.1.6 version.
So we decided to do a OpenBazaar test, to let you deeply understand how it works and what you can buy on this innovative market using your cryptocurrencies.

Step-by-Step OpenBazaar Test: Follow this Guide to do some Shopping

1. First of all you need to go to the OpenBazaar website and click on the Download button you can find on the right top of the page.

2. A download will start soon. If it doesn’t, you just need to select your operating system such as Linux, Windows or Mac

3. After the download is completed, click on the file (maybe you will find it in the Download file) and launch it.

4. A new window will open where you have to complete your profile with info like name, timezone, avatar and your favorite currency.

5. You can also select your favorite theme to be used as a your profile template

6. Then you will be officially into your profile where you can add other info such as your social network profiles

7. Now you can start doing some shopping.

OpenBazaar has a simple interface, user-friendly enough to experiment and pay with your bitcoins.
Among the items you can find on this marketplace there is a wide range of the company’s merchandise, so I decided to support their cause by buying their pins.

8. As you can imagine, I just had to click on the item I wanted to purchase.

9. Then you just click on the “Buy Now” (“Compra ora” because my version is in Italian).
10. A windows will appear where they ask you if you already have a wallet (if not you can open it here).
11. Now you have to insert your public wallet address, you can find on your wallet among the settings.
During this process you can also create a temporary wallet address, useful if you can’t find your public wallet address and for security reasons you don’t want to disclose your private one.
12. OpenBazaar allows purchases from all around the world, but of course you need to pay extra bitcoins for the shipment.
For a shipment to Italy you need to pay an extra of about 0.0232 BTC, so I spent almost 17 EUR for that pin.

Yacht with Bitcoin: how to rent it in Europe

A yacht with Bitcoin in Europe? Read this article and find out how to rent or buy it.

A few months ago you might remember about a € 100 000 Tesla sold with Bitcoin in Finland, where Auto Outlet Helsinki Oy managed this transactions for a private citizen.

Users can buy everything they want with digital currencies, thanks to platforms such as OpenBaazar, GiftOff and more.

But from now one people can also buy and rent luxury yacht with bitcoin, as NAMI integrated bitcoin as a payment option.

NAMI is a company that rents luxury yachts and its director, Miika Toivonen is the same person who works for the Auto-Outlet Helsinki and sold the Tesla I previously mentioned.

Now Toivonen is is willing to allow users to buy luxury yacht with bitcoin. 

“We’ve always willing to take part on everything that is new, like selling Teslas with bitcoin, so why wouldn’t we also rent yachts as well. So far we’ve sold a nice amount of Tesla electric cars around Europe, so I believe the same thing will work with luxury yachts as well.”, explained Director of NAMI Miika Toivonen in a press release.

With over 100000 merchants worldwide that accept bitcoin as a payment option, Bitcoin is the faster growing payment option and currency in the world.

And Finland, where NAMI works, is one of the top countries on Bitcoin usage if we count the number of bitcoin currency exchanges and BTMs.

“Meanwhile when numbers and numbers financial operators are getting more and more interested about bitcoin, we’ve noticed that demand for expensive luxury brands bought with bitcoin is rising. This is simply because there is more wealthy players on board. We were launching bitcoin payments for Luxury Collection and in the future we want to help more companies to benefit from Bitcoin-teknology and phenomenom.” explained us Aleksi Vitakoski from Bitcoinkaupat.

“In my opinion selling luxury cars like Tesla with bitcoin is some remarkable sales in bitcoin space, in Finnish and in European scale. It’s nice to see that adding one payment option can lead to purchases like that and it’s also very natural move by NAMI to extend bitcoin payments to yachts as well.”, commented Prasos Oy CEO Henry Brade.

Max Keiser talks altcoins, investment and political disruption

(CoinDesk) The summer of 2014 is really heating up in the alternative cryptocurrency world. What will the next few months bring for altcoins? We can all agree that, well, nobody is certain. To get a perspective on the possible road ahead, All Things Alt caught up with Max Keiser, host of The Keiser Report, guru for maxcoin, and one of the leading voices behind StartCOIN, a new altcoin-powered crowdfunding initiative.
Read on to see what Keiser had to say about alt investment, maxcoin and the inherent political nature of digital currencies.

The case for altcoins

Keiser suggested that altcoins are a great way for investors to diversify their digital currency performance. He said that he maintains “a diversified portfolio of coins, with bitcoin being the biggest portion”, adding that he believes “alts offer a great way to have exposure to different segments”.
He explained:

“Altcoins offer ways to gain exposure to different segments of the crypto-universe. Dash is a brilliant coin that addresses a real need. As I said before, the market as a whole is set for 100x growth so there is plenty of upside.”

When asked whether or not it is ethical to promote altcoin investment, as large price swings can lead to losses, Keiser offered, “I’m like Warren Buffet. I talk about the coins I myself own including maxcoin”.

The future of maxcoin

Some critics have said that Keiser abandoned maxcoin, leaving its reputation – and price – up to the whims of market movers. Keiser conceded that the development team was “overwhelmed at the launch”. However, he rejected the idea that the project was a failure and said that things are still going on behind the scenes that could produce some positive results if successful.
He elaborated:

“In the case of maxcoin, this was a coin that was started by students at Bristol University who I don’t think were prepared for the huge interest they got but I supported them and continue to do so because they’re very talented and we’re still very early in the game.”

Keiser added that he thinks “we’ll see a return to the old highs before the end of the year” and that “it’s probably a good buy at these levels”.

Bitcoin still the king

On the other hand, Keiser believes that while altcoins have a role to play, ultimately it is bitcoin that will remain the top digital currency.
He remarked:

“Let me be clear. Everybody should have, as their core holding, some bitcoin. Bitcoin is here to stay and is set to top $400 billion. I agree with the Winklevoss twins on this.”

Still, Keiser said that alts remain a significant part of the future of digital currency. He touched on the political ramifications of digital currencies, which ties into the concept of decentralization that is being realized in crowdfunding and eCommerce projects currently in development. Additionally, Keiser said that alts – along with bitcoin – will contribute to the broader, long-term shift away from fiat currencies in favor of digital currencies.
He concluded:

“As long as Amir [Taaki] and his followers are around, bitcoin and alt coins will be pushing the political envelope and God bless them. We need as much political disruption as can get these days.”

Strange alt of the week

Last week, we look at several altcoins that celebrated the arrival of the FIFA World Cup. While those didn’t fall into the unusual category per-say, they were notable for the fact that they existed largely to promote a temporary event.
Perhaps these belong to a class of coins unironically dubbed ‘commemorative coins’, but all the same, it’s possible that we might see more coins of a similar nature as important events develop. An upcoming coin release suggests this may be so, as cantorcoin, an alt that seemingly celebrates the momentous (and in many books historic) political loss of US Congressman and former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a primary election. With the slogan “Moderately Rare – Conservatively Secure”, cantorcoin has earned this week’s Strange Alt of the Week award.
Notably, cantorcoin’s max supply count is 100,614 coins. According to a development statement posted on CryptoCoinsTable.com, this number is meant to represent the “the 10th day of the 6th month of the year 2014”, or 10th June of this year. This is the same day as the Republican primary that cost Eric Cantor his seat in the next Congress, later all but forcing him to resign his leadership post.
As well, the developer states that there is no premine. They estimated that the total amount of cantor coins will go quickly and become “a collectible coin”, saying that any available coins will “disappear quicker that water drops on Route 66”.
