I'd love to see the barrier to bitcoin lowered immensely.\r\n\r\nHere is the link to the Coinbase Buy Widget:  https://developers.coinbase.com/docs/buy-widget\r\n\r\nHaving something like a buy bitcoin to transfer to the seller button.  Would allow someone like me to market on Facebook, knowing that probably 99% of visitors don't know what bitcoin is.  But then exposing them to OB and bitcoin and leaving them finding out what bitcoin is.  Probably further transactions would be done in bitcoin.\r\n\r\nProbably this is a long ways off, but having a feature like this on the roadmap would be great!\r\n\r\nThanks"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/comments/230639863","html_url":"https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/451#issuecomment-230639863","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Server/issues/451","id":230639863,"user":{"login":"ABISprotocol","id":4469280,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4469280?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol","html_url":"https://github.com/ABISprotocol","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ABISprotocol/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-06T00:18:22Z","updated_at":"2016-07-06T00:18:22Z","body":"I do not recommend this due to the privacy problems inherent in Coinbase.\r\n\r\nI would also note that in addition to trying to warn users of the dangers of web wallets (something I have been doing for some time), I have just decided after discussion with bitcoin.org maintainers - who are not intending to materially alter criteria which have been used for a very long time to analyze wallets that appear on that site - that I will no longer participate in discussions of issues at bitcoin.org and that there is a need for **mobile, desktop, and hardware wallets to be assessed with particular caution by potential users of bitcoin.org due to the absence of proper criteria at bitcoin.org for assessment for risk in circumstances where a wallet is expressly designed as a portal to a bank or a banking network, or as a portal to an exchange or brokerage.**\r\n\r\nPlease see: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/1223#issuecomment-230637124\r\n\r\nSee also discussion at https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/996\r\n\r\nAdditionally, Coinbase is a brokerage - not a wallet that allows users control over their funds.\r\n\r\nSee: https://github.com/btcfoundationedcom/btcfoundationedcom.github.io/blob/master/guides/en/buying.md for reference.\r\n\r\nCoinbase has stated it is evolving into what it calls a hybrid wallet-exchange.  \r\nSee: https://medium.com/the-coinbase-blog/coinbase-is-not-a-wallet-b5b9293ca0e7\r\n\r\nThe user is not in control of these funds and the risks of these models are not properly assessed.\r\n\r\nI oppose a Coinbase Buy Widget being included in OB."}}
