This "distributed market" is exactly a DNM.

https://dev942.github.io/

"Tor-friendly"
2/3 multisig
item pricing in BTC or fiat (EUR, USD, ect.)
search by ship from to country
buyer feedback
ect.

advantage:
servers gets taken down -> no damage
one admin gets raided -> some damage, others probably fix it
strong crypto (like Bitmessage) everywhere
no manual transaction signing
stealth multisig blockchain privacy
free software can review source
admins run all the servers (not like OpenBazaar where vendors do)
fast because it is not true p2p
very similar to existing DNM web sites

disadvantage:
you must enable browser javascript (very dangerous) or install software (like browser extension)
software is very plain
lose keys.json -> like losing wallet.dat
admins can still do some scams

Would you buy / sell / operate? I am still studying.

No thanks, I don't feel like downloading software.

Would rather direct deal, no middle man brokering and storing information, cheaper and I trust vendors more than markets


[1 Points] ArcticAG:

Isn't this kind of reinventing the wheel? Why not just fork the OpenBazaar code to enable tor support, remove some of the fancier unneeded features for DNM and make it more security minded?
