Mr. Knuckle
<p>I'm contemplating if I should use openbazaar or the nxt marketplace. both a decentralized, but I have a few questions regarding openbazaar:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>What incentive does hosting a openbazaar node give? I understand that the nxt marketplace is built into the coin's blockchain so there's the incentive of mining coins while it also hosts the marketplace.</p></li>
<li><p>How does openbazaar / nxt marketplace handle fees? Or is there any fees at all? There has to be some sort of fee I'd imagine or else there would be alot of spam. </p></li>
<li><p>Can you upload images/pics to openbazaar/nxt ? How do they handle the bloat? </p></li>
<li><p>How does user ratings work? </p></li>
</ul>

# How does OpenBazaar differ from NXT decentralized marketplace?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-11-03)

I'm contemplating if I should use openbazaar or the nxt marketplace. both a decentralized, but I have a few questions regarding openbazaar:

* What incentive does hosting a openbazaar node give? I understand that the nxt marketplace is built into the coin's blockchain so there's the incentive of mining coins while it also hosts the marketplace.
* How does openbazaar / nxt marketplace handle fees? Or is there any fees at all? There has to be some sort of fee I'd imagine or else there would be alot of spam.
* Can you upload images/pics to openbazaar/nxt ? How do they handle the bloat?
* How does user ratings work?
