Bisq and robosats are DNMs because they are marketplaces on the darknet. They compete directly with other DNMs on products such as cash parcels, gift cards, and currency swaps.

I doubt any of the commonly used silk road descendants (good term!) support LN yet but I suspect they are looking since their competitors are doing it and seeing millions in volume. Their incentive is to attract those users to their platforms.

I would still call those (peer to peer) exchanges. I generally dislike calling everything behind tor "darknet".

On the other hand, financial services without KYC overloards are being persecuted to an extent that's becoming increasingly more similar to the war on drugs.

Still, someone should keep track of payment methods and their respective volumes over time for the more traditional form of darknets. Just adding a method can be pure marketing or virtue signaling.

Stuff can be two things

I like wikipedia's definition of the dark net:

"A dark net or darknet is an overlay network within the Internet that can only be accessed with specific software, configurations, or authorization, and often uses a unique customized communication protocol."

Tor and i2p hidden services certainly qualify in my book. And if the hidden service lets people list items for sale, it's a martetplace on the darknet. A DNM.
