So here's a recent update: https://medium.com/openbazaarproject/company-update-d89385830731

This last week, we have made some deep and difficult decisions at OB1 that we feel give both the company and the OpenBazaar network the best chance of surviving and thriving in the future. One of our co-founders, Sam, will be shifting to a new role outside of OB1 to focus on the success of this transition. Furthermore, we have reduced the size of the team to focus on marketplace growth and revenue targets in this next phase. We deeply thank everyone who has worked with us up to this point for their contributions. If you’re a company in the crypto-space in search of talented developers, please reach out to us so we can connect you.

The rest of the OB1 team will be working hard to grow the existing network of merchants and marketplace through Haven and other endeavors. Haven development will absolutely continue, with some exciting improvements lined up in the next few weeks.

So OB1 is not dead yet, but the company seems is winding down. IMO it can stay in "Possibly Dead" where it is now. :wink:
