i was just wondering, if one wanted to start a .onion market, and one had the programming chops, how would one go about creating the software? How did the current markets create their software? Start with some e-commerce package or open source code and modify it? Write it from scratch? It would have to not used JS or Ajax. It would have to have escrow and btc and have security issues plugged up. But if one came to the conclusion that the days of the one big central market are over because they are too vulnerable to failure and many smaller ones is a better idea, how would one start to create one of those without making the stupid mistakes others have made starting out?
Unless you REALLY fucking know what you're doing, don't write it from scratch. It'll be taken offline in a day.
