My point is that Open Bazaar is one use case.... and focusing on that use case we are missing out are the broader use case.
You don't see OpenBazaar as having any viral significance? The point in integrating with them is basically to leverage their spotlight as a targeted ad for BitUSD utility. Winning on OB would be like winning in many other areas BitUSD has utility. It's strategic. Low risk, high reward.
How high? How much risk? Lets be quantitative.
How many users do they have in their community?
If they were a DAC what would their market cap be today?
Looking at their forum... it is a fraction the size of this one.
So lets assume they were ready today.... they are a year behind on the viral growth curve. By the time they are big enough to have any statistical impact on BitUSD, BitUSD will have already established itself and Open Bazaar will be implementing support for it on their own dime... or BitUSD will be dead and Open Bazaar will not be sufficient to revive it.
I like what their project stands for. They are doing good work. I just think perspective is needed.
Provide some numbers... quantify the gains. They clearly have more to gain by integrating us than we do by integrating them.... which means we need to focus our efforts by building bridges where we have more to gain than the other party does.
That said, I *FULLY* support integrating with them and it can be done by anyone in the community *WITHOUT A HARD FORK*.... BTSX blockchain supports all that is necessary... submit a wallet patch with API calls for generating the necessary transactions and we can go from there.
