We have announced HANSA Market for the first time two weeks ago on "The Hub" and after a few bug fixes and suggestions from the community (that we implemented) we are ready for a bigger audience and welcome every /r/Darknetmarkets user to try HANSA.
Towards the end of last year we began to ask ourselves what a Dark Net Market really needs and how to avoid the mistakes of other markets. We have created a system that is designed to protect our vendors and our buyers from losing their Bitcoins in consequence of an Exit Scam by us without forcing the usage of the sometimes deterring complexity of a traditional multisig-escrow on our users. That was our main motivation to develop HANSA, because the experience of the last years has shown that it is not really the vendors or buyers that are scamming each other. Dishonest market admins were the biggest reason for massive disappointment.
To avoid this we are utilizing a 2-2 multisig-escrow and we are not using a market balance where you have to deposit BTC before any purchase. For the majority of our users - the buyers - the only thing different from other markets is the payment of an order. Every order has it's unique payment address, similar to Coinbase's or BitPay's payment system. The advantage of this is no large Bitcoin balance on your account that we can disappear with.
Here is a video demonstrating the simplicity of a purchase on HANSA: http://streamable.com/ug7g
Vendors have to do one or two more steps to get started on HANSA. First, you have to gererate at least one multisig-escrow-address with us which is used to temporarily store the coins of your buyers until every trade is finalized. While in escrow, the coins cannot be accessed by either the vendor or us. Creating these addresses is not hard and we have documentation where everything is explained in detail. Besides the advantage that practically not a single Bitcoin can be embezzled by us, you do not have to worry about held back payments because as soon as a trade is finalized the Bitcoins are transfered to a BTC address of your choice.
We know that multi-signature seems complicated at first but it really is not. Here is a short clip that shows how to create a multisig-wallet and a listing: http://streamable.com/ptc6
Now we have talked about our basic functionality and the biggest difference to "traditional" Dark Net Markets. During development and the examination of current markets we came up with some more features that some other markets are missing but are now fully implemented on HANSA:
• Our search engine is lightning fast and actually finds the listings you are looking for
• Sophisticated filters for our listings
• An "instant delivery" system for digital goods, so you can get accounts or cards without any delay
• A well thought out feedback system
• A Bitmessage notification system allows you to never miss any activity on your HANSA account without having to log-in
• Uptime is always an issue for TOR websites, so we have put HANSA on multiple mirrors from the beginning to keep offline times to a minimum
• We have an i2p mirror, if the TOR network is slow or if you just prefer i2p
Thank you for reading so far.
There will still be no commission fee for at least 2 weeks and we are looking forward to every application from experienced vendors, who do not have to deposit any vendor bond.
We hope this post made you curious. If you need any help just reply to this thread or create a support ticket on HANSA Market.

This is a lie, I was able to DOS your site with a simple script and none of your mirrors seem to work, since your site went down at the same time across all my attacking servers it indicates you have no mirrors. After doing some pentesting I can see you have a single VPS server running Nginx.
Yeah,... you are a bunch of liars.
Also 2-of-2 means that if there is a dispute money is lost forever. Your system provides no real protection upon further investigation. You are not only blatantly lying but your system is stupid and the UI was lifted from Evolution.
