Thanks, I will give them a go! After working through this a bit more, I've realised that we get by far the sanest OB code if we treat Dash as an equal peer to Bitcoin. That is obviously not true in the sense that even with Dash support, Bitcoin will account for 99% of the trade. However...

Question: what's the best way to get DASH prices? I have discovered that the OB server implements an API method '/api/v1/btc_price' which calls out to the following APIs: https://api.bitcoinaverage.com/ticker/global/all https://bitpay.com/api/rates https://blockchain.info/ticker...

I'm going to have a go, and we'll see how far I get. I don't want to take any more for this (yet) because I have absolutely zero experience in these technologies, so this is an experiment. I would rather try to get it to the point it works usefully for at least the most basic scenario, and then...

How about FastMail as an alternative to Google Apps? It doesn't recreate everything Google Apps offers, but I know someone who switched recently, and they seem content with its email and calendar functionality. We are currently using Google Apps for the bitcoinmanchester.org.uk domain, and I'd...

So as usual slow, intermittent progress, however today I managed to get something working that you can actually see :D I have duplicated the Bitcoin payment wizard and started working through, adapting the minimum useful subset of features to allow a payment. I've got as far as the order total...

I'm also struggling for time lately. In theory I have free time, in practice every time I sit down to do something, something else goes wrong!

I really wish I'd been able to get more done on this sooner. I first thought about OpenBazaar and Dash when someone asked on Reddit who is taking Dash. What I feared would happen (Bitcoin becoming unusable) appears to be happening, at least going by the post Rising tx fees for on-chain...

I've already joined the Dash Slack but I've only been on once, I think. If you make a channel for it I'll join. (Or if you can add me directly, I have the same username there as here.)

I've invited you to Trello!

Done! Well, I've made you an admin of the team so you can join and add/change stuff yourself now. I just made the team and board public too, I forgot to to that at first.

Right I'm taking another look at this now. I'm trying to map out all the scenarios we will need to cover as I hack my way through the code. I've made a provisional Trello board, which will hopefully be a more useful place to store this than my notebook (which I left at home today). If anyone...

Yes, I think this is a good example of when "just add one field" turns into "rewrite the entire payment system" :) … Well, I hope not, but it will almost certainly not be as easy as it might look. I like the "surface area" metaphor for software. A piece of software that has a high surface area...

Since I have got this idea stuck in my head and I can't get it out, I'm going to do a code spike and see how far I can get adding Dash payments in parallel to Bitcoin payments in OB. I am thinking: Everywhere there is a Bitcoin amount/address there should be a Dash amount/address There will be...

Hmmm, you may prove to be right, but this is big a gamble. Bitcoin may limp along and be usable and popular enough for a while that OB functions well enough with only Bitcoin. In that time, DashBazaar would need continual maintenance to keep it up to date with OpenBazaar. There is a tendency...

Just to make this even more fun, I just discovered in the OB Slack that there is a Go server in the works, which I am led to believe is intended to replace the Python version. When I just wrote about forks being expensive to maintain, I never envisaged redoing everything in another programming...

Personally I think it is simply the job of the core developers to create digital cash. In my eyes, the fact that Bitcoin lacks privacy features is a defect, not one that I expected Satoshi to solve from day one, but something any cryptocurrency must have. Fungibility makes up part of the value...

I see this from a different (future) perspective. If Bitcoin's capacity continues to be strangled, and there is some easy way for buyers and sellers to accept Dash, every OB buyer and seller will have to start thinking "Hmmm, should I continue to fight with Bitcoin, or should I try Dash? It's...

I've installed the latest testing version to /Applications/Dash-Qt 0.12.1 made a shell script Dash-testing.sh with the following contents: #!/usr/bin/env sh /Applications/Dash-Qt\ 0.12.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Dash-Qt -testnet -listen=0 \ -datadir="/Users/ashmoran/Library/Application...

Which faucet is this? I have 1300+ tDASH I can return to any faucet … or send to you directly if you have an address :)
