Hey folks,

I didn't know that Satoshi tried to make the market place early on... Great
find!

I see a lot of people trying to reinvent the wheel with decentralised
marketplaces. I really encourage you to read up on Open Transactions (Chris
Odom) and 'Lex Cryptographia' by Justus Ranvier.

Regards,
Washington
