I was looking at different sites and balances on walletexplorer.com and noticed that current admins around Tor seem to be keeping under 500 BTC on hand as a working balance. They don't usually let it inflate to even 500 BTC. That's a tiny bit worrisome because it represents only a fractional reserve of what is in escrow. Not that we can demand to see any markets proven reserves but it is an interesting pattern.
Anyway, I was looking back at Agora's main wallet. I only went back to August while being curious. During an august period they were carrying almost 18,000 BTC balances.
example - https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/AgoraMarket?page=47 - fwiw, that is page 47 of 11,720 pages of transactions. I am not saying it means anything but damn if that is not a staggering example of the might that Agora had. That balance would be worth like $8,000,000 today. That's a helluva hot wallet compared to the 300 BTC most sites are working off today.
I wish they would come back. But I have been wishing for Backopy too. I give an Agora relaunch the same chance as BMR v4. sigh
I always wondered if agora was BMR4
