  • (Apparently) no multisig

  • Site uses javascript

  • Allows users to send unencrypted messages

  • Asks you to input an email address for no apparent reason

  • Timezone could probably be determined by looking on http://topixslhezyytrvm.onion/chat/ and seeing at what time the date rolls over to the next day

  • Comments column in /chat/ incorrectly displays the number of posts in a thread by +1. For example, if a new thread is created it should display that there's one post (the original post in the thread) but it shows that there's two. Views column appears to do the same thing.

  • List of all users' usernames is available at http://topixslhezyytrvm.onion/message

  • Only 63 products are listed at all

0/10, not impressed at all

Site uses javascript

Not really, on one page only and it's not necessary - just sugar.

Allows users to send unencrypted messages

Almost every site does - this one allows you to add your GPG key and automatically encrypts your messages for you.

Timezone could probably be determined by looking on http://topixslhezyytrvm.onion/chat/ and seeing at what time the date rolls over to the next day

It's aimed at British users, of course the website isn't hosted in the UK though.

Comments column in /chat/ incorrectly displays the number of posts in a thread by +1

You've discovered a bug!

List of all users' usernames is available at http://topixslhezyytrvm.onion/message

Agreed that this should probably be removed. Not likely to cause harm though.

Asks you to input an email address for no apparent reason

You get emails from a Tor relay notifying you if you have a new order or if you have a new private message. It was highly requested.

Yes there's no multisig yet and the products are sparse at the moment - but the site is new and has been invite only until today. There are many advantages that have come with this too. I wouldn't be as harsh as to say 0/10 but it's entirely subjective. Thanks for the feedback - I'll pass it on.

Topix is scammer heaven.

[–]WoopsRelapsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a scammer haven, although I met a few local connects off of it. Since it has been invite only I am sure it's gotten better. I'm at least going to check it out.

[–]DonnT2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be - the old one. This one being invite only has resulted in a mere two scammers (that got in at the start) since January.

I wonder why so many people are trying to create new markets. We have Agora, Evo, C9 and they serve pretty much everything we need. I know creating a popular market would bring you a lot of money, but that's not gonna happen until other markets close down

That being said, the only reason to open a new market imo would be to offer something new, ie some services instead of products.

No one's gonna go to a random market which has no products, no vendors and most importantly no feedbacks.

It's aimed at the British based off the back of Topix closing down (which was a shitfuck of fail). So it's a niche market.

so it's a British SR2? with 1/1000th of the products?

Topix closed down? I only ever lurked there for the comedy value but this is news to me.
