Everyone lets make our own DNMs

Lets just flood it, with tons of markets, almost all of them crappy, but all of them technically working, and legit. Make the feds really work for it. A market for everyone, thousands of markets, everywhere.

This is the future of opsec.

edit: This was meant to be humourous, but after thinking about it, if there were more markets on AB/Hansa level, like 25 solid markets, ideally much more, it might be a good thing. More work for vendors though, but if there are tons of diffferent marekts out there at once, and they are all active, instead of just one or two, LEO wouldn't know where to begin.

LEO wouldn't know where to begin.

Or they would be jizzing in their pants planning the largest multi-national multi-target coordinated simultaneous takedown in history.

This is how LE gets more funding

I don't know about you guys, I've got a design of a new generation hidden service, which has an uptime of 99.97% (yes, it's doable - I've been running couple of known hidden sites on my current small Tor "cluster" 259+ days straight. Total accumulated downtime in the range of the percentage above. Downtimes were just a set of small hiccups caused by Tor and/or other software updates. And "clustering" ensures that restart of a single node goes unnoticed)

But other than that - the Architecture that I've compiled, requires that it would be is modular, spread across the world, secure (up to a point where a node can self-destruct if being approached the "wrong way") - consists of many pieces that are all far apart, move around, yet talk to each other. It's a true cluster which is also (capable of on the fly) redirecting users between cluster nodes to balance itself out. The market shouldn't store user passwords, messages, coins, nothing... It's everywhere and nowhere. Every single piece is either encrypted, chunked and distributed globally across 5-15 nodes, or combination of both. Compromising a node would be impossible. Once node comes up you can't administer or maintain it (ssh or other remote access daemons aren't even present). It's a mesh, with self-bootrapping members.

Actually, engouh for now. All these few facts above are just a tiny fraction of what new generation of DNMs (or a reliable and secure generic hidden service) shuld be capable of. And definitely I can't even briefly mention the technological innovations that all make the above and more possible ;) At least I plan 4-6 steps ahead, when designing for reliability, capacity, performance.

Why am I doing this? Well... It wasn't an easy decision, but after observing all this here for months I came to conclusion that most markets are being operated by greedy, yet inept idiots. I plan to raise the fucking bar of security (security is the top most priority), availability, functionality, reliability to new heights.

Enough of inexperienced young IT-boys playing with money... They just lose their mind, get greedy or let their guard down, make rookie mistakes. etc...

For now I'm taking it all as a nice IT-side project (and yes, I have a day job where I, and my team are constantly improving, re-designing, expanding and operating some pretty fucking well known solutions - being used by tens of millions of people all the time, being run on thousands and thousands of nodes globally.

What's gonna happen next? I don't have any real plans on operating this solution. At least not for now. And one thing is certain, due to my day job I can daily do only so much. But I'm not in a hurry - the whole architecture is built with Tor's future in mind. I use technologies of tomorrow. Can't wait for Tor's upcoming Major security and functionality upgrade to go through before I can even think of showing the alpha version to anyone.

Anyway, The infrastructural side of all of it, however, can be used to run which ever Darknet site, how ever big, so I might sell it, though experience has shown that sometimes my architectures (or architectural ideas) tend to be too complicated for an average (or junior) IT-guy - up tuntil they finally start grasping it all, and it blows their mind.

There's more info on my onion site - I've shared it at least once in another thread.

Going back to coding now... over&out

There is a natural tendency towards one market that has 80%, one that has 10% and a bunch that split the remaining 10%. (number may vary)

If you are a vendor, you want to be on the main market with all the customers. And if you are a customer you want to be on the market with the biggest selection. Thousands of markets (or even hundreds) will never work out. Too much hassle for vendors and buyers.

Fuck that.


[1 Points] TheTrooper645:

If I made a market... Even if I triple checked it. I would fuck my opsec up! Guaranteed lol. Have fun!

Hm i mean like Pushing Taboo? So that every vendor has his own independent webpage but also a "market" place which actually just links you to those vendors and is also acting as a forum and review page. But no BTC connection or anything towards the private vendor markets. Would be for sure way more secure and maybe sth. for the future. Big issue: The least vendors have the knowhow to make a secure market place ...
