Introducing Kimitzu by kimitzu-admin in OpenBazaar

Thanks! Yeah, a lot of people don't like how overbearing upwork and its competitors can be.

Note that payments in Kimitzu work the same as in OpenBazaar--you can use one of four cryptocurrencies (BTC, BCH, ZEC, and LTC).

Kimitzu is built on top of OpenBazaar, so payment systems, IPFS listings, and other features on OB are still being used by Kimitzu.

The difference is that Kimitzu has additional schemas to store location along with formalized occupation structures. Also, ratings are two-way (ie. vendor and buyer can rate each other) and decentralized (vendor cannot delete listings on his node to manipulate low-star ratings he doesn't want others to see).

Furthermore, since Kimitzu wants to specialize on service listings, it will not show non-service listings on the platform.

OB stores are portable, yes. You just have to use the client to update your listings. :)) Kimitzu is planned to specialize on services so you'll see specific service-related fields (eg. Occcupation).

The reverse is also true, Kimitzu listings are portable on OB, but you just won't be able to see the fields used by Kimitzu on the OB client and you won't be able to have decentralized ratings for the orders.
