Havana Beta Release -- NOW!

We're just days away now from the official opening of Havana! You might have heard people talking about Havana on /r/darknetmarkets or The Hub forum. The upcoming launch hasn't been the best kept secret. Well, we've been working our butts off over the last 6 months developing Havana. What is Havana? Well first we'll tell you what Havana isn't. Havana is not another lookalike traditional escrow market. Here's what's different about Havana:



We can already hear the multisig naysayers. People saying "it's been tried before", "buyers will never use multisig-only market", or that it's "too complicated", etc. Before you put those posts in the comments ask for a beta invitation and try out a multisig transaction. We think you'll change your mind about multisig. It really is effortless and transparent from the buyer's side of the transaction. We can also hear the other people saying "we've seen that before, multisig that is easy to use is not safe". Well, at Havana that just isn't true. But we'll leave it to you to make your own judgments about Havana.

If you decide to participate in the beta test, please be understanding of glitches or bugs because that is the purpose of the beta; to identify and fix issues before a wider release. Also, bear in mind that our developers have a lot of energy invested in this market. We're sure they would appreciate it if comments and feedback were helpful and constructive instead of critical. We also request that you not report bugs to outside forums or other venues. Bug squashing is what beta tests are for, after all. If all goes smoothly we should be ready to launch after a few days of closed beta testing.

We'll keep you posted with any changes to that schedule. Thanks!

Personally I like the idea of a drugs only market. Is the multi sig implementation make use of wallets that our completely outside of the markets control (aside from being holder of the 3rd key obviousky)? The name Absolem sounds very familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Was it mentioned in this sub recently? I know I heard that word recently.

How do you decide which vendors to invite? There are a lot of good vendors. Many aren't well known. Just curious.

Good luck!

How does the market earn income?

Let me know if you need a reagent test vendor.


[5 Points] throwawayonyx:

Very excited to try your market! A drug only market is exactly what this sub needed imo. Markets with weapons and hitmen only give LE more reasons to go after us.


[4 Points] gramsadmin:

will you be implementing Grams API?

First off: Congratulaciónes on the opening, comrades!

Just one question: When you're saying that multisig "really is effortless and transparent from the buyer's side of the transaction," do you mean in general, or specifically as implemented on Havana / Absolem? Is there something you have done to make the multisig process more user-friendly than it usually is?


[2 Points] None:

I like the name, Good Luck!

Onion link to marketplace???


[5 Points] SecondChanceUsername:

Ill take a registration link for ABSOLEM("ALL DRUGS") MARKET! I think Havana will die quickly TBH, markets that limit themselves too much don't catch on, its been tried before(The armory, Ross' first mushroom vending acc, CanabisRoad etc)and they all fail. So i think Havana should offer other drugs/giids as well. One idea i think that would be helpful and make DNMs more safe/exclusive in general is if you: accept verified/trusted vendors to you site, then have them offer invites to only users who they have known and done successful and friendly business with for a while. Then using each vendors 'vouch' a user can become a member of you site. This would be way more exclusive and it would ensure that every account has had at least a few successful orders.

would love an invite...


[2 Points] basshead555:

I'm also curious as to how you'll decide what vendors to invite


[2 Points] young_k:

when i first started out on dnm, with c-9's implementation of multi-sig, i made sure my first transaction was multi-sig for everyones safety...the vendor that clued me in shall forever have my gratitude, but i never understood the hate in the direction of keeping a majority rules status on our escrow, and preferring anything else...especially centralized.


[2 Points] DNMd:

You should open it up to Canada too :)


[2 Points] ThrowThatAwayAT:

Market is easy on the Eyes and Navigation is Simple and Unique to whats available today.

Transactions so far are a breeze, and no more complicated than any Traditional Escrow or FE Listing Available on other Markets today, i see some similarities in Havana and BB, and BB is FEATURE Rich! but Havana has a more Homey feel to it...

Id like to see things flourish here, and hope for the best... after Transaction has been Finalized and Fully Refunded, I will post a BETA Transaction Review.

GL to Fidel and the whole Crew!

Edit1: Transaction Finalized Successfully. Waiting on Refund... all was proper and hassle free.


[2 Points] None:

Yeah! To almost all of it.You are doing the right style like The Marketplace (Rest in peace).

I propose to invite the guys from themajesticsgarden too. They have proven to be good and have been selected/invited by hand already.

Do you think about to accept DASH (former Darkcoin)? It also supports Multi-Sig, tumbling and transactions are instant.


[1 Points] keseysdayglobus:

Sounds cool. Why do you have two markets though? Why not one that is drugs only?


[1 Points] -olives:

Diggin the UI of this market, looks amazing!


[1 Points] pfhwheel:

Interesting. Will your market use true multi sig like TMP did?


[1 Points] Ivebeenreal:

If I could make a market is call it Narnia


[1 Points] KuKluxKet:

Friend, I am so down. A beta invite would be magical


[1 Points] brrj:

So are you saying it's a decentralized market? Just making sure.

Mushrooms and Cannabis, my two favorite things!


[1 Points] HunchCanoe:

Hi, I asked in the /r/havanamarket thread, but thought I might get a faster answer here. I know this is only a 2 day old account, but since I've mostly been a lurker I haven't really found it necessary to make an account until now. Is there any way I could get a buyer invite? I really want to try out a multi-sig market (just made my first multisig purchase on BB).


[1 Points] None:

Havana market is a pure multi-sig market

Day one registration.


[1 Points] Redthefed:

Can i have an invite please?


[1 Points] BMRr:

I like the ideas you guys are bringing to your market. I like the two different sites. However if absolem is all drugs including weed and shrooms wouldnt that make havana obsolete?


[1 Points] whiteyno1:

Good luck with the market. I wish someone make multi-sig old continent site, no US vendors and buyers allowed. May even protect people living outside US from some problems related to your 3 letter agency.


[1 Points] 1234567as1:

Very intrested to check it out, best of luck!


[1 Points] glavnogo-inzhenera:

How is your market different than therealdeal market in its code? Why would you just have mushrooms and cannabis? If anything you should include all psychedelics like the magesticgarden was supposed to be. FWIW the most notorious and highly rated L vendor on the darknet is not USA. You should take a look at opening that out of USA loophole up a bit. Without the three domestic mushroom vendors that are well known I doubt you're going to have many listings for those either.

I've been saying we need a drugs only market since SR1. Sign me up!


[0 Points] 13tom13:

lame would be great to get a only multisig market for everyone not just the US


[0 Points] Litico:

Could I have a beta invite code? I'm interested in how you're implementing Multi-Sig transactions!


[0 Points] Jobless_Junkie:

I'll defenitly given it a try. Sounds awesome. Can I have an invite please?


[0 Points] mindfulmu:

I'd like this idea better if they had named it thegaybar, like I suggested.


[0 Points] None:

With all the FBI/NSA/CIA/ATF I don't see how a U.S. only DNM is a great idea. I mean doesn't the US government have the biggest hard on for DNM in the world?


[-1 Points] IronSpidey:

Code?
