Hello fellow DNM travelers,
Due to the recent exit scams by prominent markets I am left with a vast number of NPI data with no market to call home. The volatile atmosphere of Agora has left us in doubt of when they too will also disappear overnight. I know I am not the only vendor out there that has been left stuck in a warehouse full of unsold goods. This being said where do we go from here? Is it time to go back to establishing sole connections or will a stable market emerge? Thoughts? Opinions?
It is pretty damn easy. As vendors we hold all the power over the markets, and in turn our customers hold the power over us. Customers don't want to FE. Vendors don't want to keep thousands of $ on markets. Multi-sig has always been the best middle ground solution for that. It's far from perfect, but a much better alternative to current chaotic situation. As vendor I am going to start forcing multi-sig on orders above $100. Don't like that? Then FE. Don't like that either? Find someone else. If you fear exit scams, then centralized escrow is your enemy and multi-sig is your best friend.
