Post by: microchoveur on March 23, 2015, 02:44:42 PM http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-race-for-the-first-decentralised-silk-road-is-on Well... Only the time will say. The ShadowCore that includes the Shadowmarket seems pretty advanced when you take a look at the age of the project, it is still very young. I hope the dev' will do everything they said they were going to do ! But when I take a look at all the promises they made and what they did, I'm very optimistic about it :) Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win? Post by: dadon on March 23, 2015, 02:51:17 PM I can't see them walking away hopefully some more dev's join the team and keep pushing it forward but even at this rate imagine what it will look like this time next year..big things in the future this could be the bitcoin killer in my opinion, it has all the right ingredients to be most importantly a devoted and capable dev team with a vision, they know what they want to build and they know how to do it, and for once like satoshi money is not the motive only to empower the masses this is rhyno's vision.

Post by: dasource on March 23, 2015, 03:33:02 PM This is a step in the right direction, it saddens me that we still have to trust centralised platforms to trade currency/goods.
Poor old Satoshi must be rolling over with the state of scams in the past several years. Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win? Post by: MisO69 on March 23, 2015, 08:44:48 PM I wonder if the US government can prosecute users of shadow simply based on the fact that the client is used for buying illegal drugs. Think about this for a second. If this market place is truly decentralized then the entire contents are hosted on individual's computers via the blockchain. That means that both orders and merchandise and all transactions are on shadow's users hard drives. Maybe the US or other nations will simply bust you for enabling the "drug network" by running your client (node). Since without you or anyone else participating the marketplace is essentially dead.
I think they can prove this in court as well. If the marketplace is used primarily for illegal things then why else would you be running it? I know what your going to say, why don't the powers that be bust TOR users. Well, Tor can be used for many different reasons. A decentralized silk road is used for only one purpose. Especially when you have an anonymous currency tied to it. I don't think they will have a problem convincing a judge either. Better hope that your IP is obfuscated each time you load that client.

That's why you don't build a "decentralized market"... Instead, people are building well known, public decentralized general purpose platforms. People have no idea how infiltrated crypto forums are by LE... Every single time someone is arrested they are flipped and their scam is taken over and kept running... I would bet a substantial amount that this place is controlled and run by Feds... It's the only explanation why it's a hell hole with zero moderation and every conceivable scam gets the red carpet. You can only get away with hardcore crime in lawless places like Eastern Europe. Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win?

Post by: Poolie on March 24, 2015, 09:47:41 AM Shadowmarket looks very slick but I'll need to see them all up and running first before I decide which one will prevail. I think the market will decide overall which one is best, though. Can't wait for them to start popping up. I think they could really revolutionize things and push bitcoin back into the media.

Post by: rustynailer on March 24, 2015, 10:43:42 AM imho Shadow is not only winning the race but they are well infront. Dark/Dash have now pulled out by focusing on adoption rather than anonymity and Monero still cant produce a GUI. Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win?

When the SDC marketplace is delivered, will it be running through standard wallets or through nodes of another kind? Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win?

Well illegal for me may not be illegal for you so things like weed not so bad, but then hardcore drugs are illegal around most of the world the same as selling cloned cards, fake id,s, guns, and pretty much most of the stuff your users are going to be selling on a 'silk road' decentralized marketplace. I don't really care to be honest as i like the idea of freedom to an extent, of course there are lines they should not be crossed. Are you able to filter what is going to be sold on the markets? Decentralized i am assuming no please correct me if i am wrong but that could/will lead to trouble. Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win? Post by: Brilliantrocket on March 25, 2015, 02:12:15 AM I'm a law abiding individual, so I don't really care about an illegal goods marketplace.

Post by: sidhujag on March 25, 2015, 02:52:38 AM Im not sure if a p2p market is really usable as a marketplace feature maybe as a chat feature only... Shadow tried to reuse chat feature to extend to marketplace.. Openbazaar is p2p aswell.. Annonymity? When selling physical goods i dont think its really needed.. 99% of the world doesnt do dark markets so its not a logical target.
I know nxt free market does it on the blockchain and so does syscoin the later being more fully featured in terms of offer support on the chain.. Many cool things can be done once its on the chain that i dont think can be done gracefully in p2p.. I can see the usecase of annonymous chats but not markets.. So to that i prefer projects focus on usability of markets rather than gear it towards dark markets. Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win?

Hello everybody, It’s good to see you all so actively supporting Shadow and staying positive as we work towards the release of our decentralized market. As some of you may have noticed, we’ve been a bit quiet on these forums lately when it comes to actively reaching out to all of you with development updates. This doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting still though, because we have a fun week ahead of us. We'll come back to that later. First of all we are very happy to announce that both Tecnovert and I will be working full-time on Shadow from now on! We're setting our main jobs aside for the upcoming months so that we can really focus on the job at hand. This will obviously result in quicker progress when it comes to releasing new features. Going forward we are also going to post a lot more in terms of development reports. Our team has been working with Shadow community members who are setting up a new website with a development blog to keep you all up to date. So expect regular updates from now on - this one being the first. The weeks ahead of us are all about ShadowMarket so we are pleased to announce that we have started integrating it into Shadowcore’s back end. We're currently switching from scrypt to SHA-256 so that staking requires less cpu cycles, updating to PoS v2 to improve network stability and working on BIP32 and BIP44 support so that we can support hierarchical / tree categories for the market. Once we are finished with these enhancements, things should start moving significantly faster. We will be making radical changes to the Secure Messaging (ShadowChat), to support Pub/Sub messages, so that people could subscribe to certain categories for the market, where we will then move towards our first round of public alpha/beta testing. We’ve noticed there are lots of questions about how ShadowMarket will work so we have begun gathering them and will answer them in an overview later this week. So much about the upcoming Shadowmarket for now. We are all still waiting for Isidor Zeuner’s review of our ShadowSend anonymity system in comparison to other anonymous cryptocurrencies. It is still ongoing and we are currently writing more documentation, which is currently our weakest point. We’ve been in contact with Isidor and are trying to give him a helping hand where needed. Please note that it’s quite a task seeing as he will not only study our system but also compare it to the alternatives out there. As said earlier, we have a fun week ahead of us. We will try to give more specific details on that later this week. Thank you all for your support! http://thebestoflol.com/upload/20140531084314uid15.gif Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win? Post by: WealthyBastard on March 31, 2015, 11:43:23 AM Thanks to the investors who put their money in the dev' so they can work properly ! Shadow has done so much without fulltime dev that I can't imagine how far they will jump now :D

Post by: Hubus on March 31, 2015, 03:02:47 PM Very interested in what becomes of this and other marketplaces. Fuck ebay and fuck paypal! ;D I was investigating the market yesterday and I don't see it referred to as a decentralized silk road anywhere official. As far as I can tell it's just a decentralized marketplace and so like Tor could be used for many different purposes. I'm a law abiding individual, so I don't really care about an illegal goods marketplace. But I am highly interested in a decentralized Ebay alternative for legal stuff. I hate Ebay so much. So fucking much. Well, if you don't look for complete anonymity, then the race is really on, there are others in this race, like Bitbay https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890531.0 https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/128/openbazaar-pro-with-monero-support And http://nxtfreemarket.com/ So, maybe Ebay will react some day by accepting Bitcoins/altcoins and/or lowering fees? But this might take some time... Title: Re: The race for a decentralised silkroad is on, but who will win? Post by: sidhujag on March 31, 2015, 03:16:38 PM Openbazaar is seperate from payment mechanism.. Monero simoly wants to replace bitcoin with monero... The restrictive model has shown to not work. I dont expect this to help monero much in terms of adoption.
Nxt free market and syscoin are really thr only ones worth considering because they are onchain implementations and not offchain. |
