Whatever happened to the crowd sourced assassination marketplace?

In which I examine the old assassination market archives and wonder why the money hasn't moved. Can you kill someone over the internet?

I've had a great idea which will house the homeless, and also satisfy the blood lust of rich, debauched businessmen.

With this very cold weather, lets say that 1 in 10 homeless people don't survive the winter. As one in ten won't make it anyway, why not use that death to house the other 9?

Build a homeless shelter with private rooms, and set up a remote-controlled rifle behind a mirror in one "special" room. Anybody with the bitcoin could micro-adjust the gun remotely, get the hobo in the crosshairs, and shoot him in his bed, or watching TV, remotely over the internet.

It would pay to board and feed a lot of living tramps. You could even pre-select the sick ones anyhow. Nobody would miss them.

I'm a rational humanitarian, think how many lives it would save. But when I mentioned this to a friend, somehow I'M the monster!

Assassination markets can never work unless there is a trained assassin willing to do trust it. Those guys are rare and most of the targets were as high profile as it gets. Most people cant even trust a market to handle a small transaction, can you imagine killing a person in the hopes some neckbeard keyboard warrior is going to release the coin as promised? In theory it could solve alot of problems by instilling fear into the elite, in practice it fails because theres no trust in anonymous transactions of that scale.

It was never real. It was scammers scamming other scammers and noobs.
