[Market Launch] OMEGA MARKET

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Dear people,  

We are happy and proud to announce the first public version of OMEGA MARKET.
OMEGA is a new no nonsense classic escrow (for now) based market ran by a
small group of DNM enthousiasts.

We tried to find a good balance between (operational) security and usability
while developing and testing our market system.

PGP is mandatory in order to use this market. During registration you will 
be required to supply a valid PGP public key and sign a small message to 
proof you actually own the private key as well. The same mechanism applies
to logging in ("identifying" as we call it internally). There are no PIN codes,
there is no "2FA", there is no "security phrases". If you lose your PGP private
key you lose your access, simple.

Vendors can apply bond-free for now. Initially we will only accept established
vendors. We will do background checks on Grams (or other markets, if you as a
vendor provide us with verifiable claims).

The 'market fee' is currently set to 4%. This means 4% of every order will go
to the OMEGA bucket. Payouts and refunds are handled automatically every 24
hours. Vendors are *required* to configure their payout settings before they
can add listings.

There is a minimal threshold (currently BTC 0.01, up for debate) that needs to
be reached before a payout is triggered. We try as best as we can to not sit on
any coin that does not belong to us. We are not a bank. We do not believe in
"on-site wallets". We want to minimize financial damage in the unlikely event
of a market interruption/shutdown.

We are continuously improving and expanding our market system, and are happy to
receive constructive feedback from vendors and users.

Our official subreddit is /r/OmegaMarket -- we are still in the process of 
setting it up properly, but feel free to sub and post. 

So don't hesitate, and come visit us in Onion Land:
http://omegaervdsjquv5m.onion

This will be our primary and only URL until the DDoS'ing starts and we feel our
last mitigating option is cycling to a new onion domain. :-)

Our PGP public key can be found at:
http://omegaervdsjquv5m.onion/pgpkey.txt

The fingerprint for this public key is:
C975 55CE E638 911F A5FA  8905 CC5E 6F5F 33FD 658F

All of our communications will be signed using this key.
Do not trust anything that is not signed with this key.

We hope to see you soon at OMEGA MARKET!

Kind regards,
The OMEGA MARKET Team

You have come at the perfect time to take over and make some serious coin. Stay legit, be fair and DON'T get GREEDY. You will go far if you can just stay on the straight and narrow.


[22 Points] The_OPs_Mommy:

Tbh I haven't read your entire announcement because paragraphs in code-format Markdown is eye-gouging (also, we don't even have a PGP key for you with which to verify your signature) ... but my question is:

--> is this déjà vu,

or did you all already do this?


[19 Points] BlackGoatSemen:

"this will be our primary and only URL until the DDoS'ing starts" 😂


[14 Points] Pylyp23:

This market is the only one that's popped up during the Dark Times that actually has an intro that doesn't sound like a retard or 15 year old wrote it.


[11 Points] EternalTurmoil:

Did you sign that message with a 2048 key? This bodes well for your security.


[8 Points] Throwawayyyy63638484:

The PGP log in is interesting. Add Multi Sig.


[9 Points] 2happytimes2:

Why would anyone use a DNM when OB2 exists? Side issue I guess. If you guys are not "affiliated" with the old Omega, why not make a new name? I mean there are plenty to choose from, the english dictionary is a big place...


[6 Points] None:

[removed]


[7 Points] CaliforniaJugg:

So you oppose onsite wallets but your escrow only for now. Okay lol


[5 Points] loveletterreceiver:

why signature over decyption?


[6 Points] dafukm8067:

Honestly your ability to communicate with this community is what will determine the success of your market. If you look at the other up and coming market, Aero, this is very evident.


[5 Points] None:

Escrow Marketplace, no thank you man. Catch up with the times already.


[3 Points] savingfluffybunnies:

So why no password? Isn't only having a PGP signed message as a login kinda insecure? And what's your reasoning behind having a signature as opposed to decryption?


[3 Points] omegabay:

My team and I have been developing an AlphaBay clone since August. We were going to call it OmegaBay Market. Looks like we have to re-brand.


[2 Points] seanl1991:

Tried to register, everytime I do it says the PGP key could not be verified, moving elsewhere


[2 Points] snirpie:

Monero only? I saw a BTC threshold, so still accepting Bitcoin as well?


[1 Points] samwise4444:

No MS ?! Fuck yea !!! :D


[1 Points] m0rph69:

Finally got in sexy setup


[1 Points] Polygon_Windows:

nice, simple, FAST interface. I think this site could do well.


[1 Points] baitgeezer:

Nice to see some true DNM enthousiasts creating a market!

You say you do not believe in "on-site wallets" yet you're using on-site wallets?


[1 Points] TheKingOfKingsMill:

Looks good. UI is nice and easy to use.

Will it be accepting monero?


[1 Points] StopTheFuckinScammin:

Where the hell can I read on how to do what they ask to register here, I won't know if I don't ask guys. I've been using pgp for 6 months, but never signed with a text in it, don't have a fucking clue.

Dear people,

We hope you're all having a good weekend!

We are happy to announce we just deployed OMEGA MARKET v1.1.0

What's new?

* Leftbar now displays BTC rate for major currencies.
* Preferences functionality has been introduced
  - currently only lets you set your preferred display currency, more to come
* Universal search bar added at the top of layout
  - allows finding products and vendors from any page
* 'Messages' menu will now display a badge with number of new messages (if any)
* Small templating and spelling mistakes corrected (thanks to the reporters!)
* Many behind the scenes fixes

We've seen quite an influx of new users and vendor applications, neat. Vendors
still seem to be hesitant with adding their listings, but lets all be patient.

There's been many good suggestions as to what to improve. We're working on
processing the massive amount of feedback we've got so far. Stay tuned!

Also it seems a lot of people are interested in becoming a "moderator" of
sorts on our platform. Let us be clear: We're currently *NOT* hiring any
additional staff. Don't bother with messaging us about it. If any vacancies
open up we'll be sure to let you all know.

That's it for now. Thanks for all the support and interest.

Kind Regards,
The OMEGA MARKET Team
