Open Bazaar

It is an open source created with the aim of developing a de-centralized network using bitcoin for peer-to-peer commerce online. It ensures no restrictions are affected, and no fees are implemented. It circumvents the traditional e-commerce model usually found in companies and websites like Amazon and eBay. Such sites need the use of PayPal and credit cards. Additionally, the platform ensures the buyers relate to the seller. The middlemen, in this case, are eliminated by using a third-party verifier to mediate the exchange of goods.

Sellers and buyers need to be kept safe during a transaction. This is done by ensuring they are kept in a multi-signature key (multisig). The key is a queue that can only release payment when more than two parties of the same exchange come to an agreement. When this number is met, it releases money to the seller. Contracts are written and signed using an online platform. Payments will be held in the multisig until the buyer and seller are satisfied with goods delivered. Apart from allowing a third-party, an impartial one, to moderate disputes, it helps users avoid scams.

Payments, in this case, were sent directly to the artist and anyone involved without involving middlemen.
