Why not? Run a client in a Tails OS environment or some kind of anonymized remote VM configuration. Fetch all market-related events from a bunch of decentralized TOR relays (or over other anonymizing networks). A proper open and free market to buy/sell whatever you want. Could even do local markets over e.g. lorawan if your government shuts down your internet access. nostr:nevent1qqswngzf0u73a8unf8cj53c2qnj7ncxqft0l46m2smtxnj33h8zqc9gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5x2ce2u
The problem is reputation in the presence of sibyl attacks. Seller accounts on silk road had a 100$ fee to create the account and escrow. List, discover and sell is not a problem. Problem is cheaters.
Good point. I don't know what the best way to do that would be but I hope that we see more work towards such a reputation system on nostr though. Buying something from such a market today would probably require blind trust if you don't know the person behind the npub. Could also be trust based on word of mouth or something similar.
What about @hodlhodl , @peachbitcoin o robosat and other P2P marketplaces, do they have a way to highlight reputation and avoid cheaters trying sibyl attacks? And if it works for trading #Bitcoin it could work for trading other stuff, as well? https://hodlhodl.com/pages/help#reputation
