Honestly, do you really think somebody would use a trading service if they knew that it was completely drained before, especially so recently?
You still don't understand why vendors are trusting the platform?
Vendors don't need to deposit the trading amount to publish ads. Its a unique and trust-less trading experience. Hence you can even receive a trade request for 100 xmr without locking the coins upfront, allowing for vendors to test the platform before going all in. Some vendors also just use the platform for marketing reasons, to get in touch with potential buyers, tough this is not allowed in our terms.
OM propagates stats on [https://openmonero.markets] , a good indicator are monthly trades and monthly volume; still very low compared to [haveno.markets] however we provide dedicated trust (no malicious pre-lock), privacy (noJS, self-destructing msg), support (tg, session, dread, etc), user experience (LM frontend), and transparency (openmonero.markets).
The goal is to reach 1,000 xmr per month in volume. Currently at 350 XMR. The future is bright.
