[App Request] - Decentralized Marketplace app

Open Darth-Coin opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

In the past we had Open Bazaar, that is defunct now. It was quite nice service actually. But what about starting a Marketplace service on Umbrel? This can impulse more adoption for merchants to start running Umbrel nodes for their shops. Maybe in the beginning no need to like Open Bazaar, can be just as an ads posting, inside dashboard so new users can just click and say "hey look I can buy from this merchant", click and open a channel with the merchant and buy stuff, from him or others.

Merchants will pay a fee for those ads to Umbrel for example. Something like LNTXBOT is having with the /sats4ads command.

Later in time, can be developed a way of real decentralized marketplace inside the node, maybe a separate app, but linked to the node, to trade good and services, using directly your node, something like BTCPay maybe? But the idea is to have an app to bring together node operators with merchants using nodes and create a community.
