DNM vendors establishing their own P2P shops.

An article was posted 2 days ago, which talked about how the current state of all the DNM has led some vendors to open personal P2P.

Arguably this MIGHT be the future of DarkNet purchases. Eliminating the possibility of exit scam, benefits both the buyer and the seller. Middle man and transaction fees are also being eliminated, with the user being able to send the BTC straight to the seller's wallet.

Although disputes and problems regarding the purchase will have to resolved by both parties.

What do you fellas think? Will this become the standard for evolving and successful vendors or is it just a temporary solution to the unstable state of the DNM?

If they're going P2P they should use OpenBazaar2: it has built in ability for selecting multi-sig escrow agents, it's impossible to DDOS, it has a slick UI, and is open source (so you can inspect the code and verify there are no backdoors or keyloggers or sh*ts), runs under TOR, has a search interface so potential customers can find your shop. It also has reviews (for vendors AND for customers! You can rate your customers on their conduct!)

Your shop will have an OB2 URL that looks something like this: ob://98r0u23289238u4293ur8239r8u23r Just distribute this URL in your advertising material for your shop, and let people know they paste that URL once they've downloaded Openbazaar2.

Temporary until a great market appears, however most xanax vendors are doing great with their own onions. So maybe it becomes to that completely in future.

With the increased rate of breaches and DDoS against the markets lately, these vendor shops are going to need to be pretty airtight with their setups once they attract any sort of attention. To their benefit is the issue of not having to scale for dozens of thousands+ users like a marketplace would. I can see this working out if executed properly.

A vendor could easily exit scam. All the products would be DDs so there would be no way to get your coin back if a vendor doesn’t come through. Also, no vendor will send drugs to people before they received their coin as there would be no way to guarantee that the person will actually pay.
