Data Goldmine With No One To Mine

Hello fellow DNM travelers,

Due to the recent exit scams by prominent markets I am left with a vast number of NPI data with no market to call home. The volatile atmosphere of Agora has left us in doubt of when they too will also disappear overnight. I know I am not the only vendor out there that has been left stuck in a warehouse full of unsold goods. This being said where do we go from here? Is it time to go back to establishing sole connections or will a stable market emerge? Thoughts? Opinions?

It is pretty damn easy. As vendors we hold all the power over the markets, and in turn our customers hold the power over us. Customers don't want to FE. Vendors don't want to keep thousands of $ on markets. Multi-sig has always been the best middle ground solution for that. It's far from perfect, but a much better alternative to current chaotic situation. As vendor I am going to start forcing multi-sig on orders above $100. Don't like that? Then FE. Don't like that either? Find someone else. If you fear exit scams, then centralized escrow is your enemy and multi-sig is your best friend.

I think it's only a matter of time before someone worthy steps up to the plate and will be considered a Backopy.

Outlaw has been stable (but hey, I'm probably a bit biased ;) ) However anything that would cause harm to the ordinary innocent human being is not allowed on Outlaw (and yes, there is indeed a thin/vague line about that).

Yes I agree it's inevitable a new market will rise. Multi-Sig on large orders is starting to become an absolute must. Reliability on vendors for FE is becoming less and less. At this point while we are waiting might as well create an interest check for some of this bulk. Who knows how long the next market will be up for
