TOWARD SAFE DECENTRALIZED MARKETS – OPENBAZAAR BETA 3 RELEASED

The third OpenBazaar beta, ‘Tabriz,’ has beenreleased. With this release, the OpenBazaar team starts naming releases after great bazaars from all around the world, with the first being Tabriz, a market in Iran which is one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East.
Tabriz is the first OpenBazaar release that runs on Windows. It is also available for OSX and Linux.
The urgent importance of OpenBazaar, a distributed and decentralized marketplace without central servers that can be shut down by the authorities, has been emphasized as a way forward after the Silk Road 2.0 crackdown saga. Regardless of the fate of other centralized drug markets on the dark net (which may well be honeypots at this time), it seems likely that sellers and buyers will stop trustingcentralized services.
