Bitcoins and Gravy Episode #36: Airbitz.co & OpenBazaar.org

On today’s show I travel to San Diego to speak with Paul Puey, the CEO and co-founder of Airbitz.co, a mobile and web app company soon to be launching a Bitcoin wallet on iOS and Android. Airbitz is also a business directory that helps you find merchants in 14 different countries where bitcoin is accepted. Paul talks to us about the launch of their bitcoin wallet in a few weeks and how the Airbitz wallet differs fundamentally from many other bitcoin wallets.

I also speak with Sam Patterson, the Operations Lead for OpenBazaar.org. Open Bazaar is an open source project to create a decentralized network for commerce online using Bitcoin – that has NO fees and cannot be censored. Sam talks to us about Multisig addresses, notaries, arbiters and how the peer to peer transactions and open source code of OpenBazaar is going to change how we buy and sell on the internet. In this interview we will find out if it’s possible for a notary and arbitration network to actually replace Trust!
