This is wrong, anyone using openbazaar for darknet reasons will be instantly caught because openbazaar does not support TOR or annonymity in any form. The goal of the developers is simply a marketplace client, which seems misguided.

I'm sure you can use the tor http proxy like you can with nearly everything else.

  Except it works on UDP and not TCP.. TOR does not work on UDP, there are things besides http that exist on the internet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite

    Your comment is unnecesarily presumptuous, but regardless... I don't really understand why OpenBazaar would use UDP, and I can't seem to find any information about it, but it looks like they tell server operators to open up both a TCP and UDP port. I guess they might use it for DHT control messages? Their documentation site is down right now, so that's the best I got.

      Well here ya go, https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/240 https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/240 https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/202 https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/202 https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/164 https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/164 The server would need to be re-written for native support since it uses UDP, but I think it might be possible using a 3rd party like onioncat.

  Replying here because the stupid max comment depth was reached on your deeper comment. You said: > I guess they might use [UDP] for DHT control messages And IIRC that's exactly what they use UDP for. The subreddit had a lot of good info last I checked (a few months). https://www.reddit.com/r/openbazaar https://www.reddit.com/r/openbazaar

    > Replying here because the stupid max comment depth was reached on your deeper comment Note that there is no "max comment depth" on HN, and I don't know where this thought keeps coming from. There are a few reasons the "reply" link may not be shown: - The comment was posted too recently, and you need to wait for the cooldown to expire. This is proportional to comment depth. It's said this is a flamewar prevention mechanism. - The comment is too old.

      Ah, ok. A quick google didn't show me why there was no reply link so I just assumed it was a depth thing. Thanks for the info.
