    Another month has passed since our last update. We're proud to say our development team has done an extraordinary piece of work making Alpaca Marketplace a safer and more user-friendly site to use.

    We thank everyone who have contributed in our forums. You have helped bring light to our community-led project. We are truly grateful.

    Status of Alpaca Marketplace as of August 27th 2014:
    
    Date: 2014-08-27
    
    URL: alpaca7bcqv2rnu3.onion
    
    
    The Alpaca community is steadily growing with an ever increasing number of orders, vendor registrations and listings being created daily. Since the last official update, numerous features and updates have been released.
    
    > Listing FAQs allow buyers to publicly (but anonymously) pose questions to vendors regarding their listings.
    > Verified vendors may now disable escrow (i.e forced FE) or restrict escrow to users with a minimum reputation.
    > The new and improved message system with timestamps and 'sent' messages makes communicating with other users a much easier and seamless experience.
    > New dynamic listing attributes lets vendors specify 'stock' (remaining quantity) and 'max order'.
    
    Escrow mediation remains free of charge.
    
    
    Features currently under development:
    > Email / Bitmessage Notification System (very soon)
    > Auto-finalize escrow transactions using pre-signed, time-locked multisig transactions (currently being researched)
    > Duplicate/import listing data when creating new listings
    > Marketplace public key validation and multisig fund recovery (if marketplace becomes unavailable)
    > Third-party escrow mediation
    > Knowledge-base
    
    
    The ambassador (affiliate) program is to be released very soon. More information will follow shortly.
