VICE Article About Darknet Markets and LocalMonero

Looks like LocalMonero is gaining traction, still no ads in my area but I guess that's expected for a site that's only been up for 4 days.

This interview is with localmonero, a new local exchange. I have my issues with them after looking into their website.

  1. Their website doesn't have any information about the owner of the website. If they are a scam, or they are being hacked, there might be no way to find out who is behind the exchange... Not even to mention, that having no imprint on a website is illegal in most western countries.

  2. The entire content on the website is one copy of LocalBitcoins. I wouldn't like to have my funds there when they are sued into the ground for copyright issues.

  3. They use Google Analytics? Supporting a privacy currency, but using the worst analytics software when it comes to privacy to track your users? (Ever heard of the NSA????)

  4. No 2-FA
