No offense but the comments on reddit sounds like a bunch retards.
They can't understand simple concepts and/or just overlook things, like that it has i2p support (for ip anon and you could probably make an i2p site with seller reviews and ratings), plus it already states in op that it has encrypted messaging.
TBH.. Reddit sucks, I wish that site would just die off, or maybe rather replaced by some sort of decentralized version!
*BUT* I guess it helps getting the word out about SLING, I just don't feel like trying to inform and teach the 10 year old idiots.
