Having the first mover advantage gives a competitive edge in this space, but we believe
that the idea of individual gains at this moment is myopic in light of the benefits for the
entire community by open-sourcing as soon as possible.
cryptofresh is written in Rails and the entirety of its code can be found here:
https://github.com/roadscape/cryptofresh
I look forward to improving the store and eventually would like to see it refactored into a
gem to fully facilitate code reuse. As it stands, this code is a useful guide and/or starting
point for anyone looking to build a shop of their own, or as a learning resource.
The plan was to earn back our investment and polish the code before releasing it.
But the clock is ticking, and there's no time to wait.
We’re taking yet another leap of faith.

I think this is a big move +5%
BTW, do you have a plan about expanding your mall to ebay- or amazon-like platform?
It should have escrow service between seller and customer.

Love it. Now if only we could get somebody on board to trade BitUSD for USD....That would be something.
-
Testing it out, but I am stuck at setting up the RPC connection, first via the GUI but I read that it would be better to use the console version.
Where can I download the console version and which config.json do I have to edit where everyone is talking about?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the support everyone!

We were just talking about this.. a P2P marketplace could provide easy on/off-ramps for all users. Someone could get into BitUSD without going through Bitcoin simply by selling something. I really hope to see something like this on the blockchain. Ideally, cryptofresh products would be listed on a decentralized escrow-enabled blockchain marketplace. :)

There might be a downloadable console version, anyone know?
Otherwise, here is how you build the CLI (console) version:
1. Clone https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares
2. Assuming you're on OSX, follow these instructions:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/master/BUILD_OSX.md
Perform steps 1,2,3,4,7,8 (i.e. skip all the optional steps)

Great to hear your plan. Cryptofresh can be the ebay-like market provider and there are many sellers coordinating with you.
In my case, if I register as a seller at Cryptofresh, upload my book, and get paid with escrow service through say, escrow.cryptofresh. Since Amazon or Ebay take over 10% of fees, sellers can be attracted by lower fees of cryptoworld.

Excellent marketing point. Should definitely be utilized.

Some idea modification... Escrow is not that attractive to sellers. So if sellers have high reputation and/or are identified, they don't have to use escrow. Ebay fee varies by categories but on average 10% and paypal fee is 3%.
The marketplace should have efficient SEO and marketing team should put their effort on advertising this shopping mall (if we have). Initially, it may need a large investment, but once it goes viral it would be the strong engine for Bitshares and BitAssets.
