It's called a dex or p2p exchange and it's important to use language like that

Robosats and bisq are also called markets:

In order to fully stop the p2p market of RoboSats, every single instance must be stopped. source

Every month (approximately), this bitcoin is used to buy BSQ on the market and burn it. source -- see also the footer on every page of bisq.network, where they describe themselves as a market: "Market Data API"

Both of these markets are only available on the darknet, so they can't be anything other than DNMs.

And I think your language is counterproductive. By restricting the definition of "dark" only to describe illegal things, you scare legitimate users away and invite regulation. There is absolutely no shame in buying or selling goods and services on tor. It's a perfectly normal thing that normal people do to preserve their privacy.

I am not defining dark, it's about what people think when they hear the word. And what would 100 people answer if you ask them eg what the 'dark' side of the internet means?

Decentralised Exchange completely covers it. First words on bisq website: Exchange, Decentralised. Almost everywhere it is described as such or p2p exchange.

We have no disagreement about using tor being ethical, my point was about using smart language. Using 'dark' makes a totally unnecessary association with illegal things. This is the reason darkcoin changed their name, probably the only good decision they ever made.
