We just presented a preview of our upcoming LNbits Nostrmarket extension on the Bolt.fun webcast. To me, this is one of the most exciting things happening on Nostr right now!
With Nostrmarket, as a merchant you can create stalls, add products, and publish them on nostr. No website needed!
As a customer, you have a simple web interface that can browse shops on nostr (via pubkeys) and make orders that are sent as an encrypted DMs to the merchant.
Again: 👏 nothing happens 👏 via web 👏 requests. 👏 There are 👏 no IPs 👏 involved! 👏
You can host a market from your computer that is behind a firewall, completely hiding your IP address from the world. It could be a vending machine in the middle of nowhere. Markets are posted as nostr events and all Lightning payments and merchant-customer communication happen via nostr DMs.
What a crazy time to be alive!

How does this compare to darknet markets? What happens if someone tries to sell drugs using Nostrmarket?

Your store is propagated through a bunch of relays, and if you run your own lnbits, you can manage your store on localhost... all comunications are NIP04 based... Nostrmarket is a tool!
Depends on where you live.
& opsec 😁
