Dear people,
We are happy and proud to announce the first public version of OMEGA MARKET.
OMEGA is a new no nonsense classic escrow (for now) based market ran by a
small group of DNM enthousiasts.
We tried to find a good balance between (operational) security and usability
while developing and testing our market system.
PGP is mandatory in order to use this market. During registration you will
be required to supply a valid PGP public key and sign a small message to
proof you actually own the private key as well. The same mechanism applies
to logging in ("identifying" as we call it internally). There are no PIN codes,
there is no "2FA", there is no "security phrases". If you lose your PGP private
key you lose your access, simple.
Vendors can apply bond-free for now. Initially we will only accept established
vendors. We will do background checks on Grams (or other markets, if you as a
vendor provide us with verifiable claims).
The 'market fee' is currently set to 4%. This means 4% of every order will go
to the OMEGA bucket. Payouts and refunds are handled automatically every 24
hours. Vendors are *required* to configure their payout settings before they
can add listings.
There is a minimal threshold (currently BTC 0.01, up for debate) that needs to
be reached before a payout is triggered. We try as best as we can to not sit on
any coin that does not belong to us. We are not a bank. We do not believe in
"on-site wallets". We want to minimize financial damage in the unlikely event
of a market interruption/shutdown.
We are continuously improving and expanding our market system, and are happy to
receive constructive feedback from vendors and users.
Our official subreddit is /r/OmegaMarket -- we are still in the process of
setting it up properly, but feel free to sub and post.
So don't hesitate, and come visit us in Onion Land:
http://omegaervdsjquv5m.onion
This will be our primary and only URL until the DDoS'ing starts and we feel our
last mitigating option is cycling to a new onion domain. :-)
Our PGP public key can be found at:

The fingerprint for this public key is:
C975 55CE E638 911F A5FA 8905 CC5E 6F5F 33FD 658F
All of our communications will be signed using this key.
Do not trust anything that is not signed with this key.
We hope to see you soon at OMEGA MARKET!
Kind regards,
The OMEGA MARKET Team
