I think there's an opportunity here.  Let's be supportive and provide honest and constructive feedback about the product and the ecosystem they are trying to create (or just ignore them if you want; that probably works, too).

If the project is successful, then it's a vital "reality check" for those of us who didn't think that a copycat DAC could get off the ground without honoring the social consensus.  And hey, the guy did say he's going to add some new features to the code; maybe he ends up producing something that can be applied to BTS.  At least he won't have any grounds to complain if/when his enhancements get copied over to the BTS codebase (:

But if OmniBazaar fails, then what better evidence of the virtues of the social consensus could you ask for than a project that was doomed from the start – despite all of the encouragement (or at least professional courtesy) from the BTS community – simply because the developers didn't honor the social consensus?  That all other things being equal, not honoring the social consensus is an Achilles Heel?

This is the natural progression of the crypto world.  An innovation is created, builds a presence, a following, then follows the copy cats. This is standard and expected. People have the right to "do their thing" but as long as we make it very apparent that there is no connection, other than code, from us than we should be able to move past these type of trolls.

No...you simply serve to alienate the community and make us all look like greedy biscuits.  Instead say nothing anf help make a clone of it.

Honestly, I don't care much about it. It just bothers me that it barely makes reference to BitShares. It seems kind of disrespectful imo, not only to the devs but to the whole community.

We must blackball this, folks. I doubt it would succeed anyway, but as long as it does not honor this community by way of the social consensus, the project is dead in the water.
