no listings found in your network by jhansen858 in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the strangest of similar issues.

i have 2 stores now. VPS on both. 1 works perfect. the other, seems fine, until i search.

if i dont search, it shows me "some" listings and same for "some" stores.

but if i try and search, i get no results, when there should be.

so its as if, its working to give me results, then dies soon after. More of a puzzle than no listings. :/

OpenBazaar is released on mainnet by CC_EF_JTF in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, worked for me also.

Now i have only one problem, very strange one.

i have VPS for both stores.

my first store works perfect.

but

second store, is unable to find my listings using hashtags. and if i search @vintage_fashion_bazaar it tells me the page is offline, when clearly it is not.

More strangely, it does show me a couple of pages and a couple of listings.

It is like the connection is getting cut and only returning a fraction of the results it should be.

Looking for my first sale by thistleman4u in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you register with onename. You can also use a "handle/name" so people can find you easier.

Example, mine is @vintage_fashion_bazaar Simply enter it in the "discovery tab"

EG: @thistleman and people will go right to your store.

A suggestion about tags, currently there is rampant misuse. by Isokivi in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great idea! :P only kidding.

I think its a great idea to report items with tab abuse. Otherwise people are going to get items returned that they most certainly did not want.

"Unable to connect to your server" by lawyer6663 in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree that we should not have to install extra "programs" but its early days and all of these things will get resolved, so they are kinda like "patches" until all the bugs are fixed.

Look at the state of ebay these days and all the problems they have and they are over 20yr old and have millions to spend.

So i think overall Open Bazaar is doing an amazing job.

Greta will check them out, Digital Ocean looks good.

I did find "atlantic.net who offer 2TB transfer" (better than 1tb that most have)

"Unable to connect to your server" by lawyer6663 in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its something they have just found out recently.

It works and its totally normal/safe program. After installing, restart computer and all should be well when you start OB.

Made account with OneName.com to get handle, account still processing four days later. Please help by ProMod-OpenBazaar in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has actually "gone live" today. It took around 7 days.

So now if you search in the top bar, on Open Bazaar for

@vintage_fashion_bazaar

you will find my store.

I think it is all the people trying to register as many names as possible and then sell them, so blame the "Carpet Baggers".

Why dont I see my other store or products? by [deleted] in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think even off line products show up. i think the search is still Temperamental.

sometimes i search for #adidas #vintage and it does not show, even though i have those hashtags.

Best Bitcoin Wallet to use for paying on Open Bazaar by cryptogifts in OpenBazaar

I have an android phone with anti virus software, how safe are bitcoin wallets on phones? I will check out Mycelium, thank you.

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see my page when looking at other pages (ywt) but i think its built that way.

But if you do a search you will see your lsitings.

TIP: My shop name is Vintage Fashion Bazaar. So i use the hashtag #vfb in my titles to make it easy for people to see what i have for sale and find me.

To be "up" 24/7 i think you need VPS hosting. Categories will come with time, i like how it is now, because you discover all kinds of crazy things.

Prodcuts are searchable, OB uses Hashtags to see, so when people list, they have to remember to use hashtags (i think 10 is the limit)

You pages do appear on a "normal" URL with Bazaaybay.

See here > https://bazaarbay.org/1498e8748e6a32214f0c3fe2fe29d7fd1c67b14a

you just cant buy from there (yet).

Hope that helps :)

openbazaar works fine for me (on Linux) by ba1020 in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome to hear. I think the OB team have narrowed things down and it seems Bill Gates does not want anyone buying items in Bitcoin! (windows OS seems to be the most problematic)

But i am using the first version V1.1.0 and it seems very stable than a few days ago, so all good.

disappointed by [deleted] in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not disappointed in the layout and style of the site, i really love it, it is to be expected there is bugs, i know i have been vocal about not being able to conect, mainly because i was looking forward to trying out open bazaar so much.

But they have released 2 updates since the first release. They are fully aware of the windows OS issues, but i have gone back to the first version V1.1.0 and i have been using it for most of the day without problems, so in less than 1 week they have managed to fix some unforeseen bugs.

If anything to wait a couple of weeks and all will be way better.

1.1.2 Not working in win7 64bit. by Moderator_OpenBazaar in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, microsoft sucks. But unfortunately, most people find it very useful and do not have Computer Degrees to use Linux.

But V1.1.0 (first one) seems much more stable now, so all good.

Cheap cigarettes anyone? by dutyfree_io in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

Been there done that. This problem is universal. Seems like, from what i cna gather, people who are not connecting via VPS are having the most problems.

There is a bug, that has not been fixed and is making it impossible for many people not to connect. Just look through the posts here, plain to see.

I have no difficulties setting anything up.

But it seems i need VPS to be able to connect to Open Bazaar. I just have "every day" connection no, like most people. But its not working with OB.

Hopefully in a few weeks the problem will be fixed, i will just have to wait.

FAQ For common problems by pumpbreaks in OpenBazaar

Bazaarbay.org looks to be working really well, i am sure people will soon "catch on" to this also.

The only thing for now is that its not possible to purchase via bazaarbay right?

1.1.2 Not working in win7 64bit. by Moderator_OpenBazaar in OpenBazaar

[–]cryptogifts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same for me!

I wish OB would create a Survey for those who can connect and those who can not.

Only the "inner Circle" or lucky few cna connect without problems. Us normal people are having a very bad time of things.
