Αντικείμενο: Re: [unSYSTEM] rename darkmarket... our response.
Ok, this might be controversial within our own community but I appeal that you hear the idea and not the person behind it.
Mike Hearn suggested that a system could be created called the 'TradeNet', which is a 24 hour bazaar for ALL goods and services, with api access for bots and DACs. Essentially think of it as part eBay, Craigslist, ELance... A nexus for users to purchase and sell contracts, and issue tenders for goods and services. Alice enters the TradeNet and wants to deliver a small package to Bob on the other side of town. She issues a tender with her requirements and is returned (in seconds) with a list of delivery services (car, bike, drone, raven) with price (in Bitcoin), time, issurance details etc. She selects the service of choice, signs the multisig transaction etc... done.
The api access for bots and DACs make the whole thing rather interesting in that allows for a DAC to purchase goods and services for their own profit seeking actions without the seller knowing whether they're dealing with a human or DAC.
So the vision of the TradeNet is to build the core infrastructure for scalable commerce outside of the regulatory system that nation states impose (creating a more efficient and I dare say fair system). Like BitTorrent, once ordinary people find it more accessible to purchase goods and services on the TradeNet, nation states will not be able to stop the ultimate goal of Bitcoin from manifesting: trustless, cryptographically secure, and censorship resistant commerce. As Tim May put it, 'permanently banning the state' from peaceful and voluntary interpersonal affairs and relationships.
Lastly, the TradeNet will be a fully outfitted free market, with minimal barriers of entry, that is not necessarily free from regulation, but rather regulated by cryptography and trustless 'can't be evil' systems.
This is why the interpretation of DarkMarket as merely a replacement for the SR is shortsighted in my view; it overlooks are a far more ambitious opportunity.
