HOW TO USE DOGECOIN WITH OPENBAZAAR OR GET PAID IN DOGECOIN FROM OPENBAZAAR

The Dash Times has a good tutorial to use an altcoin with OpenBazaar, so below I am copying and pasting that information and using Doge where Dash would be, as Shapeshift allows you to use Doge.

OpenBazaar enables peer-to-peer digital commerce, with the use of Bitcoin as its method of payment with an eBay style marketplace that utilizes the power of cryptocurrency is now available to download.

The release comes after a public beta period which brought about different store fronts using the decentralized e-commerce protocol’s experimental Bitcoin testnet for transactions.

According to the developers the beta stage saw more than 25,000 across 126 countries worldwide with over 3,000 vendors. The catch here is currently OpenBazaar does not support Doge yet but thanks to a community member (solarminer of Dash) you can use Doge for OpenBazaar transactions.
