"No more hypocritical than extending an offer to the person who offered to help me" I did not think you were serious, and I apologize for poaching now that I know you were serious. I thought you were joking. There are many cases for free markets than you seem to be worried about. I am not trying to hide the fact that people can use Tor and the internet to do things they should not do. The good outweighs the bad. I'm sorry you have such a sour disposition on our project but frankly it doesn't matter. You're a lot of bark and no bite. Neither OB1 nor OpenBazaar is anybody's "lifeline", most of us gave things up in order to work on what we believe in. We're all fortunate enough to be able to do such a thing and in no way are relying on it to survive.

Antagonizing people from a position of power has a nice tendency to backfire. And the fact that you'd do it publicly is further proof of the kind of people that are behind this.

  "Oh really? Let's find out. Antagonizing people from a position of power has a nice tendency to backfire." Heard a billion times. If you're right and they come for somebody as low level as me feel free to gloat. "And the fact that you'd do it publicly is further proof of the kind of people that are behind this." What on Earth does that mean? I'm more than proud to be working on this project and have no reason to not be public. But "what kind of people" are you talking about? How is being open about my identity some kind of shady signal?

    Antagonizing publicly. Not "being public about your identity." I've often heard pg say it's not important to correct people when they're trying to misinterpret you. Maybe this is what he meant.

      You called our project the "scariest" you've ever seen. How am I the one being antagonistic? I've done nothing but try to assuage your concerns and wish you luck in your own venture. If you're not going to be cooperative and only make assertions of malcontent your venture will not go very far in this community.

      You're surely not done are you? I'd love to hear more about the problems with free trade and how your company will fix them.
