Cannabis Road: A Cannabis Only Marketplace
At Cannabis Road, we don't allow anything other than cannabis related products. We are a strictly peaceful and pro-cannabis market that wishes to see the end of the prohibition of cannabis worldwide. If you are a cannabis lover or vendor, this may be the market you've been waiting for.
What else makes us special? Well, we feel like we're raising the bar when it comes to keeping vendors and buyers safe. Read about some of our innovative security features below:
Important Features:
At Cannabis Road, vendors can choose from a variety of escrow options to offer their buyers. They can choose from up to 4 escrow options when creating their listings.
Multi-Signature Escrow: We have 3 forms of multisig - lite, true, and true2 .
Here's what you need to know about them:
- Lite: If you use multisig-lite, a 3rd party hacker will never be able to access these funds in any way. However, during finalization, the market will be able access these funds. The seller withdraws the funds from the shared wallet by providing his private key to the market. If you are a vendor who doesn't want the market to ever have access to your funds at any point (except for during times of dispute and mediation) you may want to consider using one of the multisig-true implementations instead.
Lite Reasoning Pros Most convenient of all the multisig implementations Cons Potential for market to steal funds during finalization. - True: If you use multisig-true, a 3rd party hacker will never be able to access your funds and the market will only be able to release funds to the vendor or the buyer in case of disputes. Never will the market have an opportunity to withdraw funds from a multisig-true transaction to itself. In this implementation, the seller provides a partially signed transaction to the market which then adds its own signature and then broadcasts it for the seller. We think that our implementation of multisig-true is the easiest and most powerful form of multisig that any market has come up with yet and we welcome you to come see it for yourself!
True Reasoning Pros Easier than True2 & Protects vendor from accidental IP leak during broadcast. Cons None compared to the other multisig implementations. - True2: This one is for the diehards. It only barely differs from multisig-true in that the vendor can choose to broadcast the transaction themselves rather than having the market take care of that for them. The market provides a partially signed transaction for the vendor to sign and broadcast themselves. Honestly, we don't feel as if this adds any added security from multisig-true and it is a little bit more inconvenient for a vendor to use. But if you are extra paranoid and want the full multisig experience, we've added this one in just for you. Just make sure to properly configure the bitcoin client to mask your IP when broadcasting the transaction otherwise this implementation could potentially be less secure than our other multisig-true. People who are familiar with TMP's (The Marketplace) implementation of multisig will find true2 very similar.
True2 Reasoning Pros Vendor has control of 2 steps of the transaction and can do the final inspection before broadcasting the transaction themselves. Cons Vendor risks leaking their IP address if their client is not configured properly. True2 is the most complicated while offering no real added security in comparison to True. Traditional Escrow: We know that multisig just isn't for everyone, and we promise we're nice guys that don't plan on going anywhere, so if you're a vendor who wants to offer your buyers the ability to use a traditional escrow system where the buyer deposits coins and has them sit in on-site escrow until they're ready to finalize, then we have that option available to you as well. As always, the vendor can choose when creating their listings which escrow options they want to offer.
We also offer extra protection for our buyers and vendors so that we can minimize their risk in whichever ways possible. Two important things we've done to accomplish this is enforcing PGP and designing automatic withdrawals for vendors.
Enforced PGP: All vendors on CR are required to use PGP. When ordering, it is impossible to complete an order without encrypting your address/order information. For those of you absolutely cannot learn PGP or are unable to encrypt messages on your own computer, we have designed automatic on-site PGP. This will automatically encrypt your address with your vendor's PGP key in the browser so that there is no chance of a plaintext address sitting anywhere on the server. We want to stress that it is much better to do the encryption on your own computer, but this is better than nothing.
Automatic Withdrawals: In order to minimize the amount of funds sitting on the market at any time, we have implemented automatic withdrawals for vendors. As soon as a buyer finalizes their transaction, the funds will be immediately sent to the withdrawal address that the vendor has on file. We do not charge buyers or vendors any type of withdrawal fee except for the miner's fee (.0001 BTC).
We have other security features too, like PGP 2FA, but we consider things like that an industry standard and the main features which set us apart from the rest have been mentioned above. If you have any feature suggestions or security recommendations, we would love to hear from you. We're dedicated to making improvements and your feedback is invaluable.
Security:
At Cannabis Road we take security very seriously. We offer compensation for important bug reports, so if you are a security analyst or pentester, we would love to work together with you to help make Cannabis Road the most secure marketplace out there. If anyone would like to perform a security test on the market, please PM me and I will give you access to anything you might need access to. We've already had 2 well known security figures in the community, Jolly Roger and El Presidente, perform security checks on our site and report back without any major issues.

Sounds great....hopefully LE would be much less interested in a cannabis only marketplace than some of the other markets selling Class A drugs (and the other stuff). Whats the Onion URL as I can t see that you have listed it in this post and it does not seem to be listed on the links either? Finally do you have any UK vendors signed up? Peace out
