For those of us in the northern hemisphere, summer is waning - and we miss it already. We’ve had an excellent season so far with the release of some new features and seeing a pop of new users come in. We want to keep the fun going just a little bit longer by giving away some bitcoin!

Here are a few things we are proud of accomplishing this summer:

Launched peer-to-peer trading over 1,500 cryptocurrencies with seller’s choice of adding a markup or discount

a whole new website just for browsing OpenBazaar on the web Welcomed thousands of new users from over 125 different countries into the OpenBazaar network

We are excited to see people trading cryptocurrencies and easily sharing their stores and listings on social media. Very soon they will also be able to make and take payments in one wallet with their choice of five different coins!

We are constantly working to make decentralized ecommerce extremely beautiful and accessible for everyone, everywhere on earth. And we couldn’t do it without people from so many different places developing, trading and participating right alongside us, telling us what they think and helping us make this thing better every day.

We want you to try it and tell us about it, too. To sweeten the already awesome deal of checking out the future of ecommerce, we want to give you $10 BTC toward your first purchase on OpenBazaar.

Yeah, we’re just giving away $10 in bitcoin so you can try OpenBazaar for yourself.

And we aren’t even being creepy about it. You don’t need to already have or send bitcoin to anybody else nor spam everyone you’ve ever met. You just need to follow these short instructions and we will send $10 BTC to your OpenBazaar wallet so you can shop.

That’s all we have for now. Grab your free bitcoin and we’ll see you in the marketplace!
