Hi everyone!
Due to the somewhat delicate matter of this post, I just registered this account.
I am a long time customer of Silk Road (SR) and its follower (Sheep Market, Silk Road 2.0). SR made over 1.2 billion in revenues. There are several voices who claim that it was SR who made Bitcoin popular. In the last months there were several major drawbacks for these kind of markets: The Bitcoins of the vendors / customers got stolen either from hackers or the platform itself. Of course after such bad experience especially the vendors do not want to trust their funds to an anonymous platform since there are huge trust issues involved. Desperately they are looking for an alternative solution. The Asset Exchange could solve this problem for the vendors.
What they need is (beside the obvious):
1. The setup of their products must be easy
a. Description
b. If possible pictures
2. Message system
3. Easy Payment
To address the demands of the customers. The following criteria must be met:
1. Easy access
2. Ratings of the vendor
3. Message System
4. Easy Payment
Will the NXT AE be ready for that?
Needless to say if this is working there mustnt be a lot of marketing and new investors / vendors / customers would naturally come into NXT. Result would be full order books and a price explosion.
please dont do this on our blockchain. the last thing i want is the feds breathing down my neck. the code is open source go fork it and make SilkRoadCoin.
u r wrong, the community can't dictate what should or not be sold, this is what we are trying to run away from
silkroad users or anybody else are more than welcome to be free to trade whatever they want on our blockchain as this will increase volume, transaction and users base.
also, we'd be helping people be more free
i am wrong? the comment you linked didn't make any positive claims. i said "please don't ________", i asked nicely.
