Problems with how Agora acts

I have some problems with how much bs agora spouts:

If there was an ongoing deanonymization attack going on why would you keep publishing the HS, as it currently stands the site is in the same position if it was operating normally. Nothing has changed. Can someone explain this to me?

It seems like Agora spouts so much bullshit about security that is frankly, just ridiculous. I remember a while back they were going on about how they rotate vpns every x minutes, like cmon, cut the bullshit.

I don't see where you're trying to go with this? They asked everybody to remove their coins, have been operational since to give people a good chance and nice amount of time. Maybe you're right, and they're bullshitting but who cares? Maybe they want to take a break from it. I'm sorry you can't get your drugs now.

I totally agree. This quote from the pastebin is most telling.

Additionally, we have recently been discovering suspicious activity around our servers    

Sounds like more their shit then Tor, because its not Tor. All they are doing is using a scapegoat so people will come back when it they are ready.

Someone should just make a multisig market so people will tell them to fuck off when they come back.

Every time they screw up and the site goes down, they blame a security risk which they are managing to protect the users.

Its very common but always overlooked and downvoted by the AG fanboys.

Its very nice of the site to ask people to withdraw their coins, but many people haven't received anything after 24 hours, and also many coins are stored in escrow with buyers not able to finalize, making a 14 day auto finalize pretty difficult to use if they closed the site within the next week f.ex.

Don't trust any site. This site never makes any updates, and could easily have been hacked 12 times, and each time they just make a "slow withdrawal period" to get money back to payout little at a time while slowly earn all back. It would make sense to stay online so long if you had lost all funds you earned several times, as it would be boring to own a marketplace and not make any money on it. (like SR2 several times, they just admitted it one of the times, and kept quiet the 2 others). Wouldn't it be greedy if you had a market that haven't lost anything, and have a 4% fee on each sale, with all the sales its know to have?

No real facts here about Agora, just a note on why you shouldn't really trust them more than any other.

Well, one thing we know is that it's not an exit. People just got their money back. But to be entirely fair, I also don't believe the vulnerability thing. It makes no sense:

"We're concerned about a vulnerability, so we're going to educate you about this vulnerability (albeit in vague terms) and then keep the site up for an indeterminate amount of time."

? All that tells hackers/LE is that they need to exploit the vulnerability immediately.

I think something else was going on, but I also think Agora is trying its best. Otherwise they would have kept the coins.
