Re: [ANN] TheFreeMarket - Launch (est) 21st June 2013 [BTC/LTC/PPC]
We are not a direct clone of other sites offering an "anonymous marketplace". We are aiming to build on the original idea.
You are a direct clone, you just offer alt-coins, and Atlantis does that already and they are failing. Did you do any research into the marketplace? I am guessing not the reason Silk Road works is cause of trust that has been built up for over 2 years.
As stated above you are a bit of a troll
I am the troll, yet everyone in this thread agreed with me, think about it.
All you have done is criticise without offering as much as a shed of help. You've even started to spread FUD by stating that it's insecure when there's no evidence to back up that claim.
You are a troll, and you've been ignored.
That's one very small improvement, but still an improvement, yes or no? We do have many more that will improve the user experience for both the buyer and vendor.
Also what is your opinion on increasing the accessibility? Any feedback is good feedback if it is constructive.
Every new venture is an uphill battle, that we do not deny but one battle we shall enjoy taking on

LMAO so if I built a Satoshi Dice clone and gave some prices in local currencies that is an "improvement" but still a direct copy of Satoshi Dice.
Accessibility isn't an issue thou so I have no opinion about it, since your dealing with contraband items those people have only one option to do it thru tor, or not.
Every new venture is an uphill battle but if you don't see your a direct clone your going to have a big battle in that space, against a big whale "Silk Road". Look at Atlantis same concept and it is failing, so yeah I doubt you win this battle.
As stated a small improvement on that part of the concept and one of many changes that makes us different.
With regards to TOR being the only option, agreed however taking steps out of the process to help the average person discover a broader world is for the better. Instead of "download tor, find the domain, ensure its the correct domain, connect and browse" how about, go to the same torrent site I always use search TheFreeMarket Official (We already have these accounts registered) download their app/browser click and go.
I think that your market would hold a better chance if it offered services on both Tor and i2p since no one offers any services on the latter yet. Namecoin through Tor and i2p might be an option, but I don't know if it would fit into your proposed plans.
Also adding support for other popular alt coins such as Freicoin and Feathercoin would increase the potential market for your store.
I also think that Atlantis was a far better marketplace than Silk Road in terms of design and speed even though it hasn't taken up due to lack of knowledge, if you make something better you should market it heavily in all spaces you can.
