They don't understand Nostr, so I'll need to explain it in the context of drug trade.
The best mention is in the thread about decentralized markets.
Discussion
Post screenshots lol. Or is that forbidden??:)
Tor browser blocks screenshots, but allows PDF prints.
It's simple to use, load it up and read the whole thread.
Yes with nostr using tor! Download Amethyst for android and use a orbot with it. Bam you have your own completely anonymous account on censorship resistant nostr protocol
Oh sorry you meant Twitter. I've ditched it after the takeover.
With the rise of nostr the new market possibilities have opened. The proof of concept is this website https://plebeian.market but this one runs on clearnet. If you want to make a market on tor, you'd need to spin nostr relays on tor also.
Just a thought of mine and I'm not an expert on markets.
You are now the official Head of Nostr Marketing - Darknet division. 🎉🎉🎉
I'm the head and the shaft at the same time 😂
Nostr could've easily have been called nostOr but I think that O was left out so it would'nt be confused with Tor. (I suppose 'over' is optional in the acronym ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
But nost0r could be a thing too:)
Left out not to be confusing for all 5 people who use Tor with Nostr 😂
Thanks for your response. Let me really try to think about the disputes issue.
So maybe if there is if there were multiple people (let's say 4 in this example) who were picked at random to verify the payment and the product were correct before the transaction was made (let's say every time the verifiers do it, they get paid the equivalent of .005 XMR). Let's say that the verifiers also get their transactions audited by multiple folks as well to ensure no shenanigans.
I could absolutely see this working for selling digital products (like NFTs, porn, databases, cyber tools, and my obsession betting)... I think this kind of decentralization would be difficult for selling physical products unless the verifiers got shipped the product first to verify it but we can think why that would be a bad idea. I guess there are already disputes that markets have to do for physical products already so maybe it would be the same level of difficult but just waaaay slower to process (which things being slower because of the human verifiers would be the main issues folks would have in this market).

So maybe it could work like this:
- some one would still need to run the site/GUI and they would get paid a small fee from every successful transaction and donations but they no longer centrally hold the funds.
- Buyers and vendors have to agree on the number of verifiers for a transaction to commence (it could be that they want 20 verifiers and the sale will commence if 85% agree that things are in order). So the decentralized part is the escrow.
- how those verifiers and auditors are sourced is the tricky bit. You would want it decentralized and random. Maybe they need to affirm within 5 seconds or it goes to the next verifier. I think to throw off possible law enforcement that would be verifiers we would need to fuzz with fake orders and the verifier never knowing if certain product reaches the threshold for shipping.
- auditors checking the verifiers' work and kicking out any that suck and maybe this is the "proof of work" metric where the best audited verifiers get more work sent to them.
I pretty much have run out of thoughts but folks tell me if this is in ballpark.
After reading everything I wrote, I'm reminded a little of the Nostr protocol which there are multiple GUIs/clients that overlay the same underlying protocol for communication. It would need that verification aspect for the escrow and more encryption on the communications than Nostr though
Those are 3 best mentions (2 merged cause from the same user). Others are too short or too retarded.
Even those guys aren't technical enough to see what needs to be done.
How active is Dread?
I suppose if it was everything you were looking for in a social media you wouldn't also be on nostr?
There's maybe a dozen new threads per day. A few dozen posts overall. Probably even less than that, excluding vendor spam, of course.
Dread is not social media. It's a review board for drug vendors. There are a few script kiddies and card autoshop faggots too, but those should be ignored.
