If its known from the start that all communication is public, it would force the use of client side encryption. This would make it easy to remove/ignore sloppy buyers and vendors.
Just a thought.
Why not build a market with all communications in the clear?

Cool things this would do:
Force people to use client side encryption
Give real insight into level of communication of vendor with out compromising content of messages, a score
Further reduce reliance on DNM security

This is the way things WERE. Markets didn't have auto encryption features in the beginning. We all assumed everything we wrote could be made public. Nonetheless, those who didn't want/think they had to learn how to encrypt/decrypt would do is use web page based pgp encryption tools where they could just enter the vendors key and their plain text address and get their encrypted message and then not care about having their own key or incoming messages being encrypted or the fact that they were giving these 'auto encryption' webpages their personal information.
Moral of the story = there will always be lazy motherfuckers.

what about metadata?
users would still use only the market encryption function. law enforcement now has access to when what message was sent, can analyse the writing style of every user, other customers will get angry because a vendor is not being as nice to them as to others, . . .
there are many reasons why private messages are [or better should be] private.
also if these embarrassing alphabay fuck ups did not happen you would all laugh about a market that launches with that 'feature'. but nowadays you consider that even as a possible 'solution'. it makes me sick.
