TorEscrow - How, why, is it worth it?

I went to go sign up today and they have changed to requiring a trust token. I really like this and all but I am not a member yet so it sucks for me.

How does one get a trust token? I checked /r/torescrow

Why are they using this, does it really make it that much more secure?

For those of you who have used TorEscrow, are most of the vendors available on other markets as well?

TE is in a similar situation that TMP is experiencing right now. TE is heavy on protection (both buyer and vendor), yet there isn't a large amount of variety or an extensive list of vendors yet.

I will say it is the first market I visit right now. There is no FE...no exception, and I'm a big fan of that. The admins are trying new techniques to keep the scene tight (eg Web of Trust/invite only).

And so far, I've seen lower prices on TE than most other DNMs. I guess only time will tell...

So how does one go about getting a token?

TE is tiny and virtually no vendors, they prob closed it down cause they thought it would increase demand but no one is going to go to it now that its all locked down, no one will give trust to anonymous people who can drag them down
