Thank you for that. I actually set up this "marketplace" two years ago, and it is essentially just a directory. Since then, we have had various discussions with different people about setting it up on a Nostr basis. However, there is a fundamental problem with that. It needs to be moderated to some extent, and certain types of products are (Islamically) not allowed. For example, I cannot let people sell red wine through it.

The fact that it's a Bitcoin marketplace is actually just a side note, as it is the most halal form of money.

Let’s talk more. We’re solving a similar problem set from another angle. Basically, compliance. Doesn’t matter what form it takes- it’s possible to solve for whatever walled garden you want your marketplace to have.

Sounds interesting. Who is "we" and where can I read more about this compliance stuff?

Compliance isn’t necessarily the right word… Basically we know we need to be able to filter out illegal (or maybe haram in your case) products to operate a Nostr market in certain jurisdictions. There’s no reason what we are building can’t be applied to any kind of filter that the market operator chooses.

DM for more details, but the code is all public on nostr:nprofile1qqsfmys8030rttmk77cumprnsqqt0whmg0fqkz3xcx8798ag8rf8z3spy9mhxue69uhkummnw3erqvfwvdhh2mn5v4exxmr0vd4hw6tnv5hxjmcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumhd9ehxtt9de5kwmtp9e3ksl6wh9p GH repo too.
