Software update: OpenBazaar 2.2.0
OpenBazaar is an open source project for an e-commerce platform, or online shopping, with the big difference that there is no central point, such as at a company web shop, but a p2p network in the background that everything ties together. Payments between sellers and buyers are made through various cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, bitcoin cash and zcash. For more information we refer to this page where the features of OpenBazaar are discussed. The developers have released version 2.2.0, with the following modifications:
