Would anyone be interested in a market that only serves to facilitate multisig- and direct deals, and do you wanna become an admin?

The DNM situation is looking increasingly desperate these days. Maybe a new type of marketplace could help to mitigate these hard times a little, huh?

I have worked with DNM operations before, and I have great experience in developing, setting up, maintaining and running a market.

I have procured a nearly production-ready marketplace codebase, ready to be employed in less than a month if anyone think it's something worth spending time on.

Me, I don't want to be admin or anything like that. I don't want to receive any money. Actually I'd prefer to be involved as little as possible once the market is up and running. Why am I doing it then? I'd hate to see the DNM scene dissipate or remain forever unstable. Also, I can't really use the codebase for much else, and I think it'd be a shame if it went to waste. ...that, and I happen to have some free time in the coming months... and I don't like going outside.

The marketplace is strictly multisig or direct deals -- i.e. no on-site wallets for LE or hackers to lust after. It's designed such that it can be relocated and re-deployed seamlessly in the event of LE seizures of servers.

So, then:

First of all, buyers and vendors: What do you think of such a market concept? Is it something you can see yourself using? Feel free to ask questions if you need clarification. I'm open to ideas as well. I will gladly post screenshots, if I see sufficient enthusiasm for this endeavor.

Secondly, any competent folks on here want to take on hosting, running and ultimately maintaining such a market, or know anyone that might? I will run through everything with you, so you know exactly how everything works behind the curtains. I will also help you set it up and of course answer all questions. All of this absolutely free of charge.

[1] I understand that reddit might not be the best medium for this kind of "headhunting". Please point me to another place, if you know of one.

Within reasonable limits, I will also make configurations, add- or remove modules to your preference. Since I'm very familiar with the codebase, it will be much faster if I make the changes before I let your team try to reverse-engineer the application.

If I could have my way, this market would be entirely "non-profit" or donation-supported. Greed has ruined good markets in the past.

But I understand that nobody is willing to undertake this kind of venture, if not for the profit-motive. For this reason, I have implemented commission-systems that ensure that you and your team will have something to look forward to -- other than the sweet satisfaction of helping to perpetuate the miracle that is DNM, of course.

I promise I won't disappear until I see that your market is up and running, and doing so smoothly and reliably.

At the very least, you or your team should have some basic understanding of web development, tor, systems security, etc. Ideally, you and your team are already well-versed in DNM development.

Perhaps you were planning on creating and running your own market anyways -- well now I offer you the option to skip a large part of the development phase, or receive a solid framework to build parts of your market on.

PM me, if you're interested. We can discuss further via otr-jabber or bitmessage... or torchat if that is still a thing.

In any event, I hope you all have a great day, and may the gods forgive your sinful ways.

Sounds like you'll possibly end up assisting some noobies who will end up getting in way over their head. Hope you can at least vet the person a fair bit, before you waste your time.

This is exactly how you get DEA agents and DNM Task Force members on your squad.


[5 Points] None:

OP, here's my concept that I've actually already been designing.

Essentially the design process is still underway, but it consists of much of what you're describing:

A modular market built not to await being taken down, but rather periodically moves to suit it's indiscretion. The site would be configured simply, and migration scripts would be written for said migration.

Users would be notified of said migration, of which would preferably happen daily at 00:000 GMT 0 to ensure pure fairness for the globe.

This would result in a server with controlled downtime, an inability to DDos, and search and seizure being a thing of the past.

I'm already designing this as we speak.


[3 Points] InconvenientIdeals:

I think I may know which code you have.

Very interesting I didn't think it was ever finished. He told me it would be headless however, as in not need an admin to run it. Unless it's different than the one I'm thinking of. Very possible.


[2 Points] None:

I would be interested in direct deals sure, and multisig, just need a superlist of genuine vendors now.....


[2 Points] drugaudits:

This sounds really cool, and I really do hope it happens, but it smells kinda bacony this morning ayee?


[2 Points] I_just_got_arrested:

Dude I don't know how to be an Admin but I'd love to help somehow!


[2 Points] ShulginsCat:

Could you run it on a publicly accessible domain for a little bit, w/o drugs, just so we can see the interface and overall looks? Also would be good for some pen testing.

so DHL 2.0?


[0 Points] druggieslut:

I want to be involved and am much more knowledgeable about hosting and shit than I sound like. The druggieslut thing is just a persona I put on for lulz. I however want to make money off it. Haha. Sick of doing legitimate shit to pay the bills.


[-1 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

may the gods forgive your sinful ways.

and yours, Timbreon. Like I wouldn't spot your Sunday writing style!

I don't share your love of mutisig escrow, or imagine you would even WANT me as an admin. If you love multisig so much, why don't you marry it?

Getting back to your roots I see, like a native New Yorker, and other song title by "Odyssey"? Have a nice cup of tea and chill. You sociopaths are too hasty, Umbreon. You don't get nowhere if you're too hasty

If you say you're going and not coming back, stick to it. Although I'm flattered that you like new marketplace ideas and still read all my posts

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3rx54w/if_you_were_to_open_a_market/cwsgglp

But like I said, anyone can use any of the ideas, but "thou shalt not steal" is the only moral I insist be built-in. Which kinda precludes you, you reprehensible ingrate.

TIMMEEEE!


[-1 Points] lordredvampire:

The only way I see it are the following possible scenarios:

1) Multi-sig, escrow is no longer needed or make it optional.

2) Implement RealID - take a snapshot of your Driver's ID with your face and write down your DNM username. This info will be contained via FDE HDD with a strong passphrase. So if one scammed - report to LE. This is a strong deterrence against scammers.

Scammers are MAKING THIS WORSE FOR EVERYONE, EVERYDAY! This madness needs to STOP! We need a way to track them, period.
