Kiss is an often overlooked market on this sub so I decided to give them a review. I have been using the market for small purchases for about a month and think I have gained enough insight to give them a fair assesment.
Kiss Market Over all Rating: 8/10
Overall Design 9/10
I love the simplicity of the design. It is clean and beautiful. It doesn't bombard you with a bunch of useless information. It is easy to understand and navigate. The only reason I didn't give it 10/10 is because it lacks a search function. They state in thier wiki they will add a seach bar once they have more listings.
Listings 6/10
The ammount of listings leaves something to be desired. I do see more vendors and listings showing up everyday but it would be nice if my favorite vendors would open up there. They seem to like to stay under the radar and are taking the natural slow growth approach which I like, but I'd still like to see more listings.
Uptime and Speed 10/10
I have never had a problem with the site being down or too slow. It seems lightweight. This might just be because they are still a small market.
Support and Staff 10/10
The staff are very quick to respond and very professional. They are also all very friendly. They will talk with members but keep it professional and don't get preachy or philosophical.
Market Rules 10/10
On the kiss wiki they have a list of allowed listings and not allowed listings. To me this is the biggest selling point for kiss. I don't know why they don't advertise it more. They only allow drugs and drug related items. No porn, no hacking shit, no weapons, no netflix accounts or ebay scams. none of that bullshit. It seems like every other market is flooded with these bullshit hacking services and porn sites. Kiss has a strict rule against any of that. Why do people list porn on the Deep web?? Are people buying this? Porn is free people!! it does not need to be cluttering up our markets!
Market Security 8/10
I am not a security expert but I haven't seen any problems with kiss yet from other members. The only reason I give them 8/10 is because they don't have multisig. They say they are working on it so that's good. I personally probably wouldn't use it anyway because it is a bit over my head but I know a lot of you guys are for it so hopefully they have it soon for you.
Conculsion
Kiss is a very nice simplistic and beautiful market. I hope more of my favorite vendors go there. If kiss can start to bring in more heavy hitting vendors I would be happy to only use kiss. It may be only a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. I like that they only allow drugs on the market and the staff seem to know what they are doing.
That's great! I have a vendor account there I haven't been using because I haven't got much stock right now. But as soon as I do, I'll head over there and put some up.
EDIT: does it have a subreddit?
