[New DNM] Minerva, 0% Commission for 3 Months

Grettings DarkNetMarkets,

It is our pleasure to introduce a new market to the community. Minerva strives to be a safe and secure environment for your illicit purchases. We maintain a multi-sig based ordering system that protects the buyers while giving vendors/buyers rapid dispute resolution. Although we are new in the DNM websphere, we have had the market up for 5 months while testing for vulnerabilities and user experience. Take a look at some of our current market points:

Please feel free to register and check out the market. Feedback is always appreciated. Donations are always welcome as for the entire time it has been funded out of pocket and server fees are pricey. We hope to grow and be the #1 Customer Service oriented DNM. Contest and Giveaways will resume in late May! Thank you for your time and please consider Minerva.

So it seems that when one goes to order a product, there's a "Shipping" drop-down field that doesn't have any contents. That field is starred ("*") so it's required, and there's literally no way to complete an order because of it. This is the case in every physical item listing I've tried. So, uh, as of right now, you're not actually, you know, a market. You also might want to make the "Quantity" field a drop-down list, specified within limits set by the vendor. What would happen I order 78519327523918570812346927803476234 quantity of some item? Or even just 5, when the vendor doesn't have it? Note that these form problems may be related to the fact that I'm visiting your site with the Tor Browser Security Slider on "High," (as any intelligent person in this scene does without exception), and it's a little worrying that you would have built (and tested) your own market with JavaScript not only enabled, but as an essential component to do something as simple as place an order.

Also, it sucks that you encourage users not to use GPG for their address info and message, and go so far as to re-assure users that their information is "safe" because of your on-site encryption. I'm sure your on-site encryption is great and all, but you really should still be encouraging peeps to use GPG locally to encrypt their info, rather than just take your word for it.

Also, your UI is not optimized for the default Tor Browser window size, which is very important for users' anonymity. You should really figure out a way to get the pages to not have horizontal scrolling within the default Tor Browser window.

A for effort, but as of right now this doesn't look great, and combined with the fact that you have literally zero restrictions on what can be sold on your market, plus encourage users not to use GPG, makes me wonder if your identity or intentions are legitimate.

EDIT: There's also no way to flag a listing, like for something that's mis-categorized. I would recommend adding that, the "Drugs" section already has listings that have nothing to do with drugs.

EDIT2: Why do digital goods have shipping requirements?

EDIT3: You say you've been testing for five months, and basic shit like the above that I discovered in five minutes somehow escaped you? Something doesn't add up.

Okay everyone, now's the time for folks in the community to check this place out and let everyone (especially the mods) know if anything's fishy about it...

...0% income?

I would genuinely trust the market more if you guys were taking a share. When I use facebook, god knows what they're doing to keep the service "free".

I'll check it out though. Like honestly, 0%? 1% atleast like damn

Annnndd heres the next episode of nucleus goes down, the same admins come back with something special, LIVE! cough cough waiting on conspiracy theorys to pop up...


[2 Points] Wanted_drugs_2day:

As I don't trust you yet please explain your 2 of 3. Is this the only option (I hope so). No central escrow?

You wont force buyers to use pgg but you will force them to use multisig?


[2 Points] None:

SQUUUUUWK


[1 Points] None:

Could be interesting. I'll keep my head down and let some others pour in first.


[1 Points] None:

Like has been said default Tor makes your UI bad.


[1 Points] monkeystew580:

OK guys, so we saw what happened with BitBay. Lets not let this same thing happen. People need to speak up now if they see an issue with this. Not after it's on the superlist...


[1 Points] octomarvel:

First word is a typo.

Off to a flying start.

Good luck mane.

=)


[1 Points] BlindCarpet1515:

Not very exceptional, actually, there is nothing new in this Market.


[1 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

Can somebody who understands these thins check the market and compare it to Apple Marketplace? Because I feel like octomarvel wouldn't be acting so crazy unless he'd given up on Apple.

I just feel like he might have rebadged and resprayed it for a fresh start.
