IPFS/libp2p is meant to be modular in this regard. It's certainly possible to use Tor with IPFS to protect your IP address but this is WIP. https://github.com/hashmatter/libp2p-onion-routing Openbazaar, which uses IPFS can run as a hidden service https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/master/docs...

Probably yes. In fact, a censorship-resistant marketplace that allows for asynchronous trade already exists built on top of IPFS. It's called OpenBazaar. https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go

I work on OpenBazaar and I'm happy to answer any questions. The basics: It's a fully distributed network where people engage in trade directly with each other using cryptocurrency. Because there are no middlemen, there are no fees, there is no centralized data collection, there are no account sign ups, and there is no censorship. You can view the server (Go) here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go And client here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-desktop

OpenBazaar has been around since mid-2014, and this 2.0 release has same major advancements. It's a separate network from the 1.0 version. I've been working on it since it began, and it's been mentioned on HN a few times but I'm happy to answer questions about the new release. The marketplace is now built on top of IPFS, which means the data is distributed and stores can still be accessible even when offline. It also integrates with Tor now, and has its own built-in Bitcoin wallet. The server is based on Go and code is here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go The client is an electron app and the code is here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-desktop

>If this already exists, do tell. Yes, it does exist, and it's completely open source. It's called OpenBazaar, and it's a fully decentralized marketplace. There's no middlemen at all. https://www.openbazaar.org/ It's backed by the OB1 company, which has raised $4.25 million from a16z, USV, and BlueYard. It uses IPFS so that stores don't go offline, and all payments are settled in Bitcoin. We love code reviews and pull requests. The back end is done in Go: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go The front end is an Electron app: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-desktop

I work on OpenBazaar and I'm happy to answer questions. This website links to the current version of OpenBazaar, but we're just about to launch a completely new version, which you can read about here: https://medium.com/openbazaarproject/openbazaar-2-0-p2p-trad... The 2.0 is built with Go and uses IPFS. It's open source and we welcome any developers into the project: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go

#1 is false since February: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/pull/342

how bout this? https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/pull/342 A PR for "Tor"

It seems it does, as of this year: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/pull/342

The desktop client is just the GUI for the backend: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go

Yeah, it's not the most documented repository. In the absence of that, you can check out the following document and implementation for some better understanding: - https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/4a9ee8de8fd... - https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/4a9ee8de8fd... Hope that helps a bit. Keep in mind that none of this have been verified and might not work as advertised. Just a warning.
