99% of those markets are created and controlled by the gov agencies using the shitcoin monero (morons).
Instead of using those crap markets, people should just run a nostr market with BTC.
I don't give a damn shit about darknet markets.
Nostr has a problem with aggregating honest reputation without a centralized service keeping track of all users and transactions. It's costless to make a "seller" and give yourself reviews from 1000 "buyers". Trust rings don't really work because you don't know any of the other buyers (and you can't, because you're all purchasing illicit goods).

I am not sure if you really believe this or are just pissed off by people using monero.
The idea of a nostr market sounds promising though. Do you know of any market built on nostr?
reply
Each seller can build his own stall market and publish it over nostr.
No need for tor or any other crap, just wss relays (even private)
Nostr markets are Silk Roads on steroids.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
So in your view most of the relevant dark market activity will move to nostr over time.
I definitely see the advantages, as each stall market would have to be taken down separately. Also there are no rug pull risks as with the centralized markets.
Curious to see how it plays out.

Hint: did you know that you can have a totally private LN ring, opening Simple taproot channels between participants?
To transact in private between well known peers, it is NOT necessary to open public channels.
Once the channels are depleted, you can close them and open new fresh ones. Is recommended to open big channels, to cover all your spending during x time you calculate, so you will not have to pay opening/closing fees.
But is working totally fine, without any trace in the public.
Central LN node for the nostr market, running a simple LND node in neutrino mode (without the need of full BTC Core sync), totally private.
The market clients, using Zeus, will open each one a private STC towards your nostr market node, with the amount they calculate will spend in x time.
This channel opening will appear on the blockchain as a regular 2of2 multisig.
When you decide to wipe all and start over, just start new LN nodeID and start fresh, leaving no trace behind.

Not sure I understand, so each buyer would open a channel directly with the merchant node? When the channels are depleted and closed isn't it traceable onchain that the funds moved from each buyer to the merchant? Especially if the merchant merges utxos of different channels?

"I never "leave" Bitcoin, always staying on the same path, never shitcoining. Shitcoining it's a sin."
People with this mindset will never change anything to the positive. It's a religious way of thinking. You are not solving any problem, because you found something that gives you a meaning to your life. If the lack of privacy and government control is the biggest threat to our freedom, then bitcoin is not the solution. You know it and you mislead all the people here. It's a shame. Bitcoin is not freedom money. Bitcoin is traceable money. So it can bring people into big trouble. You are hiding yourself in the middle of nowhere, so you are not afraid of being traced. Because you will never raise your voice in the public. You are not more then a troll. PRIVACY IS A HUMAN RIGHT! So shut the f*** up and shame on you. For the rest: Educate yourself. Use privacy tools. It's the biggest weapon to fight back.
Hihihi. Always funny how @DarthCoin is triggered by Monero. And the only thing he can say about it is ... nonsense. If money works within this framework, it has proven it's importance for our freedom. Bitcoin is not money. Money is always fundamentally anonymous. You seem to me like you're a the only one who was created by the gov.
