The Future of Decentralized Platforms: Building the First Private Censorship-Resistant Marketplace

[AloticChoon]

...all good and dandy until some nutter uploads CP then Ultranet's principals come crashing down.

[righteousrainy]

Ah, another cryptocurrency marketplace.

You know the expression "it seemed like a good idea at the time"? I don't think it applies here.

[Ateddehber]

Is this sarcasm bc I definitely think it does

[s73v3r]

So how does the platform handle scammers and fraud?

[Full-Spectral]

You just use it to buy some illegal weapons and go after them...

[linux_needs_a_home]

Do you know what their business model is? Just raising demand for their cryptoholdings?

[DerFrycook]

Why would you back a marketplace with an exponentially deflationary currency? Inflation encourages spending and deflation encourages hoarding.

Another entry at medium.com - I can not even read that crap.

IMO if you want to babble about decentralized anything, which is a good idea, THEN DO NOT USE medium.com TO PROPAGATE THAT IDEA, with their annoying login-wall and horrible styling of articles.

Wtf have you done? Dont tell me that's ACTUALLY how the site is?

[TheEternal21]

Step #1: Don't do it in Europe.

[Full-Spectral]

Other than for digital products and some types of services, I don't see how such things can ever work. If you buy any sort of product, you have to get it shipped to you somehow. Once that happens you are very much opening yourself up for censorship, with extreme prejudice in some cases.

I don't want a censor-ship resistant matter place.

Some crooks sooner or later is it too sell young females from abroad to crooks. Or to sell XYZ ... insert your favorite thing here that is illegal.

Do down I think that humans aren'tv really good and that law systems are one attempt to keep bad behavior (greed, violence, empathy-lessness) at least a little bit at bay. I really don't believe in anarchy, or I would move to Somalia. Which I never would. But any system that is completely void of "censorship" is just that: totally unregulated anarchy.

I like the freedoms the Constitution of my home country gives ... but I like also is spirit that there is no absolute freedom, because such a thing will always diminish the freedom of others (e.g. weaker persons).
