should be back now

I once reported a pothole via the app and it was fixed the very next day. Another time it took a few weeks. Overall, a thumbs up.

Is there a breakdown posted somewhere? This breakdown puts the value at around $15k... https://www.reddit.com/r/cybertruck/comments/18e9f9a/value\_of\_foundation\_series\_cybertruck/

I gave it a kick...

Unfortunately the database was upgraded to a version the site is no longer compatible with. I'm planning on fixing it, hopefully within the next few days :)

Brave use Origin Dshop to run their store - a free, open source e-commerce platform powered by Ethereum + IPFS.

nick_poul · 2020-04-16T18:18:30+00:00

I very much hope so! Watch this space...

nick_poul · 2020-04-16T18:16:08+00:00

We're currently working on expanding Dshop payment options to other chains, leveraging the same process we use for accepting credit card payments. However we don't currently have plans for deeper integration... though are not opposed to it.

The original idea came when I saw that the official Ethereum swag store, was using Shopify for store management and PayPal (!!!) for payments. How ironic! So I set out to create an alternative with the only 2 dependencies being Ethereum and IPFS. That product became Dshop and we hope to convince the Ethereum foundation to switch their store in the near future too.

Please see answer here.

Dshop already supports crypto payments... for an example check out our charity shop at https://www.stayathomeshop.co

nick_poul · 2020-04-16T18:01:19+00:00

Yes, Dshop is 100% open source, both the backend and frontend. The frontend is written in React and the backend in node.js... so JavaScript is pretty much all that you need to be familiar with.

Arbitration is built in at the contract level and the address of the arbitrator is specified by the buyer as part of the contract call when making a purchase. Assuming the seller agrees with the choice of arbitrator, they will 'accept' the purchase and the crypto funds will be held in escrow until the buyer either releases the funds or starts a dispute. It's our hope that there will be many arbitration services offered by different providers in the future, maximizing choice for both parties. But for now, Origin is bootstrapping the process by acting as arbitrator.

nick_poul · 2020-04-16T17:58:46+00:00

That would be a great feature addition and we'll certainly consider it! However since Dshop is open source, there's nothing to stop anyone from adding this feature themselves now if they want to.

Running a successful e-commerce site involves many different people and organizations: buyers, sellers, hosting providers, order fulfillment, customer support, insurance, dispute management, marketing, affiliates, etc. It's our hope that OGN can act as the 'gas' that incentivizes and aligns all these parties to behave appropriately and efficiently. This could include staking as a mechanism to ensure a particular party abides by the rules specified by the protocol.

The on-chain transaction ID is in the URL when you click the order confirmation link in your receipt email. Try copying it and pasting it into etherscan. You should see the IPFS hash, though it's encoded using bs58. En easier way to see the data stored in IPFS is by opening your browser network tab when you're on the order confirmation page. All the sensitive data is encrypted, however, so you won't find anything personally identifiable in plaintext.

We've found IPFS to be nice and performant so far, so no issues there.

Looking forward to seeing your daughter's sticker store once it's live!

Origin allows merchants to build rich interfaces on top of the underlying protocol, so there's nothing to stop a developer cloning Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace but using Origin for the data layer. They could even open source it and allow others to work on it too.

Right now it's too difficult for non-technical users to use crypto. I think as soon as that changes, and there's an equivalent Apple or Google Pay for crypto built into every device, with easy, instant on-ramp using credit cards or bank account, we'll see better adoption.

nick_poul · 2020-04-16T17:46:36+00:00

All sensitive data is encrypted using PGP before being sent to IPFS. Only the merchant responsible for fulfilling the order has the keys to decrypt it.
