Here is a great way to kickstart the BitUSD economy - someone should fork OpenBazaar to support trading with BitUSD.
Background: OpenBazaar is to Silk Road what BitTorrent was to Napster.
The unique selling point of this is of course that merchants can sell their goods in stable dollar prices instead of the volatile prices of Bitcoin.
Check out OpenBazaar's teaser video:

Probably wouldnt be that much work to do either. What do we think?

The video won't play in my country. Here is the website with the video: https://openbazaar.org
There you will find the video too and can continue to watch while staying on the website, so cool :D

I think this is a great idea. Frankly I support free trade marketplaces of nearly any kind. I hope some of our more technical members can weigh in on this and how it can be implemented.
Freetrade marketplaces, with a fair amount of anonymity
domain names that can't be seized
bank accounts(with usd pegging) that can't be seized also with anonymous transactions
I am giddy just typing about it.
People may love or hate the silkroad but you can't deny the fact that it really was fuel for the fire that is the crypto scene. This could be a hopefully easy way to have people start using the platform now.
