Hey guys,
You might have noticed some changes to the sidebar. The changes were made to give multisig markets more recognition since they deserve more trust than the rest. Centralized escrow markets can be found below the multisig capable markets. Markets with warnings can be found at the bottom of the sidebar.
We also removed any "vendor markets" or what are basically vendor storefronts. This means The Armory and farmer1's forum were removed. The reason this change was made is because these "markets" typically do not offer escrow, offer no 3rd party dispute mediation, and are not technically marketplaces. Lately more of these vendor storefronts have been approaching us looking for sidebar space and we think as time goes on more and more of these vendor storefronts will emerge and we simply cannot list them all so this decision had to be made. Most likely we will add these vendor storefront links into a new "DarkNet Directory" page in the Wiki.
Lastly, we alphabetized the list to remove any potential for abuse. Now everyone can rest assured the only way to get on top of the list is to have multisig and market name that starts with an "A". We welcome the first one to succeed.
That's all for now,
IGDS
I like these changes.
