Bitmarkets is a free and open-source decentralized online marketplace that uses the cryptocurrency bitcoin.[1]
History
In 2013, Steve Dekorte wrote a rough specification for a market based on a decentralized version of peer-to-peer marketplace NashX.[2][unreliable source?] Steve and developer Chris Robinson began work on Bitpost as a means of testing a Bitmessage framework; they were later joined by Adam Thorsen and Rich Collins, who helped create Bitmarkets.[2][3] The first working version of Bitmarkets was demoed at the Bitcoin conference in May 2014 and the public beta was released on their website on November 19, 2014.[citation needed]
Features
Bitmarkets operates over the Tor anonymity network and is built on the Bitmessage communications protocol for privacy.[3]
