This is an incredibly exciting development!
Are you working with Openbazaar?
Their platform is quite developed already, and they are hopefully releasing version 2 of their platform soon. The biggest problem with Openbazaar is that it is only (currently) able to use bitcoin for trasactions and this is very limiting right now with the transaction delays and so on.
It seems to me that integrating STEEM with that platform or since it is open source developing the Steem Shop platform with the Openbazaar platform would be a win/win for both groups. And a super win for anyone wanting to do decentralized business using crypto-currencies.
Thanks for your enthusiastic comment. We are not currently working with Openbazaar but are most certainly examining all such platforms to inspire the creation of our own marketplace platform dedicated to Steem and Steem Dollars.
Sounds great, keep up the good work! :)
Many thanks! We will certainly do our best :)
