Working prototype of localized market: Alice uploads rough location of her stash. Bob buys the exact coords. Leo throws a tantrum. Bob never meets Alice or sends her his address.

I opened up the prototype that I put together and had my first visitor who uploaded a great sequence of images showing how you would find a site: [edit: removed prototype, but it was just a modern, slimmed down version of the Mushroom Observer].

The other listing doesn't have an exact location, but has a purchase button labeled "Request Exact Location"... so I think the concept should now be a lot clearer.

A psychonaut from The Shroomery forum linked me to the Mushroom Observer: http://mushroomobserver.org/observer/observation_search?pattern=psilocybe+semilanceata

So the idea has a solid legal standing, at least for science...

I believe I am onto something extraordinary here.

And for all those afraid of the mythical neck-beard rapists; the dead drops don't necessarily have to be deep in the forest where mushrooms grow... could be in a plastic bag under a trash can in the park or street corner where no one would normally look.

The tradational DarkNetMarkets would still be vital - and grow deeper roots to support this new growth in the open. This can be set up on OpenBazaar with a few clicks for individual vendors or small networks, but what we really need is a version of OpenBazaar that supports multi-vendors linked to a map in the clearnet: https://imgur.com/Wrtu8c8.jpg

Leo doesn't throw a tantrum. They buy coordinates then pull security cam footage around the park or wherever. Leo nails vendor within a month.

This is ridiculously shit, I dont even know where to begin.

This idea is as stupid now as when you posted it on an alt account a few days ago. (Smurf Village?) There is absolutely nothing legal about the idea. You are selling drugs online. It doesn't matter what hoops you jump through. Telling someone where drugs are and receiving money for that is a felony. Running a site that facilitates that is a felony. Posting the location of a patch of mushrooms is a gray area since the government can't exactly make seeing a wild growing organism a crime but the second you pick them with intentions of using them it is a felony. If you get paid for the location by someone who intends to pick them to eat it is a felony. Again there is nothing legal about this idea. You aren't on to anything.

Ie. dead drops are a thing already


[2 Points] TheOpiateKing:

Don't know why everyone's jumping down his throat. This already happens on many Russian markets. It's just dead drops.

"could be in a plastic bag..."

If you're trying to keep it legal, people can't be offering dried ready-to-consume product. If you want to say it's "for science," it's gonna have to be fresh wet specimens and wild unpicked patches only.

Edit: On a side note, I am somewhat interested to see how this turns out. Will you be allowing listings for other types of entheogenic shrooms as well, say, if someone knew where there was a massive patch of a+ grade amanita muscaria that popped up every year?
