Is there any relation between this and the work satoshi was putting into
the core before he left?

Introduction<br>
<br>
METAmarket is an open source protocol and proof-of-concept reference<br>
client specifying a trustless federated marketplace which uses Bitcoin as<b=
r>
a universal currency and Bitmessage as a P2P communication network.<br>
Time-locked refund transactions ensure that incentives are aligned toward<b=
r>
completing the trade without the need for trusted third parties. Systemic<b=
r>
vulnerabilities such as transaction malleability are mitigated through the<=
br>
use of a federated reputation model. This document is a non-technical<br>
overview of how the METAmarket client and protocol work. For more<br>
technical details, see the protocol specification.<br>
<br>
Motivation<br>
<br>
Overly centralized marketplaces and payment services extract high fees,<br>
impose and abuse excessive control and remove any hope of privacy from<br>
users. As more commerce moves online, many consumers may find their<br>
lifetime history of purchases (including books, personal items and<br>
location details) for sale to advertisers, employers, curious neighbors,<br=
>
stalkers, political opponents and government agencies. An ideal system<br>
would be one of secure private transactions directly between buyer and<br>
seller without middle men collecting data or adding fees. Such systems are<=
br>
now feasible by combining recently developed technologies for anonymous<br>
decentralized payment and messaging systems.<br>
<br>
Client<br>
<br>
To use the marketplaces, a client application which implements the<br>
METAmarket protocol is required. The client is used to post, browse and<br>
execute trades. It also requires a Bitcoin Core wallet to handle payments<b=
r>
and refunds. A working client is available at:<br>
