Announcing the launch of Dread: Reddit-like hidden service and Market Security Reports

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

Hello everyone,

Some of you are aware that I have been developing my hidden service over the last few weeks
and it is now ready for public testing.

Dread is a Reddit-like community service, providing a very familiar community discussion board,
with sub-communities and user moderation responsibilities. As a hidden service, this
provides a platform for open community discussion without as much censorship and
limitations. Right now, it is quite feature rich, mimicking a lot of Reddit's
core features without any use of JavaScript.

My site also lists my current services offered such as penetration testing
(free market security report, full premium security report), market development
assistance and vendor shop development & hosting. I have added an onion list, with
most of the established markets and will be adding their security reports shortly,
I have already added Dream's, however that will be extended further too.

I have implemented a mirror cycling system, where up to 50 unique mirrors can be
listed per market and their up time will be tracked every minute throughout each day.
This will provide stats with accurate overall uptimes, response times per mirror, average
response time etc. 5 mirrors will be displayed at one time per market, these will be cycled
once any of them go down and replaced with a working mirror if I have one available.
For launch, tracking is disabled until I can upgrade the server, due to cash flow
limitations it would not be accurate enough with the current server specs. I will
also be requesting signed messages for each mirror from the markets, so they can
always be verified.

The onion list is ordered by security rating, if I have put together a report for that
market. This will give everyone an option to choose a market based on it's security.

This is a free service and I hope it will serve everyone well as a community that has a
somewhat guaranteed future. The recent Reddit ban-waves are always a reminder that any
community can be taken down without warning at any time.

I started the development of Dread mid 2017, it was shortlived because I had no free time,
to even test markets anymore. Around 3 weeks ago, shortly after hacking Oddyssey market,
I regained motivation and have had sleepless nights working on the development since.
It was built from scratch, no frameworks and it was extremely rushed, so I am expecting
bugs that I haven't picked up on, please report them to me quickly so I can push a fix.

If you'd like to donate to the development, hosting and funding of my security reports,
it would be greatly appreciated, you can do so via Bitcoin or Monero:

If you would like to create a community during the testing stages and already have a
popular sub on Reddit, contact me through Dread and I will check it out and provide you
with an approval key.

Enjoy!

Change the name to dreddit short for dark reddit and it flows off the tongue better. Trust me on this one, your name is so important. Like "The Face Book" being changed to just "Facebook"


[18 Points] JackOfWeed:

Fucking sweet man.

Can I have an invite for our weed review sub please? It's r/cannaclub. Annoying when reddit takes a sub and all the posts with it.


[22 Points] SamMawson_:

There definitely needs to be a UK sub on there after r/UnitedKingDNM being banned again


[10 Points] DrawkwarD_DNM:

dreadecomdopooda.onion is the URL?

Not loading for me.


[8 Points] ilostmylunchmoney:

Reddit only has 1 level of categories (subreddits) but 2 levels of categories would, in my opinion, improve the experience for everyone.

Here's how I see this working:

Globally Relevant Categories

Country/Region Specific Categories

It should be possible to subscribe to lower level categories individually, or to all lower level categories by subscribing to the upper level category.

This would cover all the use cases I can think of in a better way. About to order something? Check the National Mail lower level category for any word of a postal blitz. Want harm reduction advice? Get it from everyone worldwide as it's basically the same everywhere. Want legal advice? Get answers relevant to your country. Need info on Tor? Get it from everyone.

Cross-posting should be possible but with well thought through categories (mine are just examples) this would be kept to a minimum and only really necessary for specific posts.

You could probably achieve a similar level of ease with finding stuff with a tagging system, for example if there were a category called "Vendor Reviews" and within I could easily filter only ones tagged "UK" that would work too (I'm not ruling out 2 category levels and a tagging system, that could be really sweet). Categories are more Reddit-esque though, after all splitting categories into two levels is only a slight change that could make a big difference to the usability and overall experience.

/u/reddingsanon

What are your thoughts?


[3 Points] only0ne-de:

Really great what you offer! The Tochka Free Market already joined.


[3 Points] SirFoxx:

Thought for a minute this was going to be an announcement of a sequel to Dredd. But this will do.


[3 Points] reddingsanon:

Will notify my colleagues in the fakeid community, up to them if they want to pursue it.


[3 Points] newbieforever2016:

u/newbieforever2016 from reddit. Check my reddit page. I mod a number of subs there such as r/morethanetizolam and would be interested in setting up here too


[2 Points] Axaq:

Just messaged you over there, same username, thanks for doing this going to move my banned subs here


[2 Points] revoluciones7:

We've waiting for this announcement! Good job mate


[2 Points] CookyDough:

Cool. Great site! I love it already.


[4 Points] XmrFanMan:

Don't take this as a personal attack, this is simply a hypothetical that assumes you are a bad actor.

A bad actor running this website could extort markets to pay for "security reports". The operator could use censorship, mirror link fuckery, and delisting to do this.

Many of these arguments could be made against the mods here, but I think the mod team has a level of trust that you'll never have. They've shown they are able to recover when individual mods have acted wrongly.

Nothing wrong with healthy competition, though. I hope this gets traction, if only as a forum of last resort, if this gets shut down.


[2 Points] PsychologicalHousing:

.


[2 Points] 2happytimes2:

Dread is the shit, loving it. Fuck reddit.


[1 Points] HardC0r3:

Great news. This is the Future for sure.


[1 Points] drimilr:

excellent!


[1 Points] idinebenkno:

Thank you.


[1 Points] wantsomemegafud:

Mate, I'm sorry, but the name is fucking terrible.

However, this is really exciting. Reddit has a lot of constraints. Time limits to locked and not bumping being the 2 main ones imo. If it had those 2, but split into cat categories, itd be the go to


[1 Points] HardC0r3:

/u/wombat2combat make this an announcement please.


[1 Points] Immaloner:

Very cool! Can't wait to check it out.


[1 Points] fawkStick:

Sounds sexy! I'll check it out :)


[1 Points] kyousaya4life:

pay.reddit.com

What year is this?


[1 Points] spacefreestyler:

Heyy, when you click next page, some bullshit like 'no posts were found in this discussion,don't hack us,bla bla bla', shows up.


[1 Points] hellfinger:

it was time, thank you


[1 Points] wombat2combat:

you may want to include the hs address in your post since viewing your selfpost on your profile requires js [not that nice for the lurkers].


[1 Points] HugBunter:

Testing if the URL has been whitelisted yet...

Can I make fraudnet subdreadit there?


[1 Points] Amanda-Binds:

So whats going on with this now..why won't it load?


[1 Points] AlpraCream:

Great job man, it's an amazing feeling when you find something you are so passionate about something you end up spending sleepless nights making it into a reality. I would love to find something that puts me into that type of creative/motivational zone again.


[1 Points] Jethro23:

How to we get an approval key to make a a community? /u/hugbunter


[1 Points] Yourconscious69:

I recommend quickly setting and enforcing some type of guidelines about advertising. It will quickly become a shit show of spam and scammers otherwise...


[1 Points] PM_ME_UR_SKETCH:

Much needed and well made project!
