- web template backup
- server backup

Every 6 months create a backup.
Amount of items will remain the same if server ever goes down. Preferably in a external SSD hard drive encrypted.
Should be worth the investment. 

[DoctorClu]

I don't think DPR was asking that people update it for him...

[Fluffhead!]

Please set the usd btc rate at a fair rate for those of us that buy btc for purchases and aren't sitting on thousands of them, or maybe sellers can lower their prices so the buyers aren't getting screwed. Its not fair that we are immediately losing 30% and then when the admins and vendors cash out they get to sell them at the going rate.

I hate to complain so much but this is really really hurting the buyer community

[broken string]

- require vendors to store PGP key on marketplace
- use previous requirement to implement server-side PGP encryption of all shipping addresses when an order is placed (vendors no longer receive plaintext addies, server no longer stores them)

[FriendOfTheDevil]

keep in mind, this place was founded on the basis of freedom...

we shouldnt really be requiring vendors or buyers to do anything.

[Santa]

Please add a "Show domestic only" button Dpr you are doing an AWESOME job man. Thank you so much.

[Sir William Wonka]

I am going to second the motion for having the BTC on the site more accurately represent the prices they demand in the exchanges.  The difference will dissuade buyers from using SR

[jacob1234]

- use previous requirement to implement server-side PGP encryption of all shipping addresses when an order is placed (vendors no longer receive plaintext addies, server no longer stores them)

No. Allowing vendors' secret key to be stored on a site that could possibly become compromised is not smart at all. People should be using PGP on their own anyways.

This needs to be top of the list. This is costing everyone involved serious money.

Item 1 does not say private key. All this says is force a vendor to use PGP and do not make it optional. This makes much sense and I would not be surprised if it already is in place.
Item 2 however does not make any sense. It is not smart to do any server side encryption because this will infer the address is sent in plaintext. This is worse than currently. What would make more sense is to verify that the address block begins with the --- BEGIN PGP header and reject if not as potential insecure address.

Item 1 does not specifically state private key, but looking at Item 2 it infers that Item 1 means private key.
I agree that verifying the message is encrypted would be a good feature.

[Klaymen]

What about having EU as an option for the location vendors ship from. For example, I ship from a european country, but I dont want to specify it for security reasons

[dr.xtc]

-Auto withdrawl 

[Voidbringer]

Wow, this thread is an awesome idea

[wakemeup]

Is it possible to order just one or some of the items in the cart? If not, I'd like to request it as a feature

[Breaking Dab]

Alternative Crypto-Currency Implementation(?)

Yes please lets us use Litecoin!

[envious]

Can we get sub-categories for the psychedelics section? This is seriously hurting my biz.

[ChocolateBunnies]

Vendor Set Auto-Finalize Times

+1 for DPR U rock!

[Zim Zimma]

Great work on the site so far D.P.R and team!
Personally id like to see subcategories and more sorting options such as price ascending and descending making a return.

[john_one]

Can we get sub-categories for the psychedelics section? This is seriously hurting my biz.

Would be great if all the categories had that. Just like before. It's a little bit confusing now.

[NordicShrooms]

- Pegging to individual currencies
- Prices displayed in mBtc <--- please do this!! The 0s are a pain in the ass!!

[Chez]

Glad to have this thread so we know what we can look forward to! I know I'm eagerly anticipating the Favorite Vendor & Product features; I felt that those really improved ease of browsing on the old marketplace.

keep it up!

[haydenp]

-mass reply (for vendors)
-vacation mode
-stealth mode

[NocturnalPoet]

Regarding the 'misc inbox improvements' - it would be nice if you can view all your sent messages... at the moment it only shows your sent messages that are unread by their recipient, so if you've sent several messages and they've been read then you lose track of what you've sent since they aren't shown.

[ThreeKings]

-vacation mode
- (bug) fixing and uploading images for the listings, changing them

[cactuschomper]

Alternative Crypto-Currency Implementation(?)

Yes please lets us use Litecoin!

Could not agree more this would help so much. I'm sure its a programming nightmare but I'll pay every penny of that sweet commission for it [/list]

[ProEvo]

Synchronisation of a bitcoin ticker. Please.

[Captain Beefheart]

We need buyer stats , stat!

[holog1n]

Perfect, perfect, i love that list, plenty of useful things that we need asap.
Also, im lookin some weird things if anyone else noticed, sometimes i get the subcats and sometimes dont, but, when i do have the subcats i dont get listings, like lets say, im going > Psy > Nbomes > get 5 of the series, all at 0 (Like 25i nbome (0)).
Another thing, lets say i check "Apparel", well, the whole list of listings mess up, like the order in the left big menu, drugs go down

[YCWS]

sub accounts

[waipio]

Buyer should have a option to cancel a order if it is not yet being processed.. 4 days to  find out your order had been canceled and your coins are worth 1/3 there value is getting a bit much.

This system would speed up dealer to actually ship in 24 hr if they say they do, as well as compete to actually process orders quicker and give buyers more options win win
And of course Keep up the great work.  And please adjust the BTC rate to something much fairer to buyers.

[haydenp]

auto finalize is a MUST!
i have some douchebag who received his order almost 2 weeks ago and he's either ignoring my messages, or not planing on ever logging on again.. and this was a $1200 USD order..
And i have a dozen other customers who are doing the same..
we need auto finalize!
i hve proof (with tracking numbers) that they were all delivered

[nathan.burnett]

What about a list of things that are not going to happen?

[revolution]

hmm interesting

[revolution]

this is what some one posted an suggested, it a good idea:

"
So today I woke up to find the order of 28g of weed which I ordered almost 4 days ago was canceled as a way to prevent money loss from the BTC crash.
Not only was the vendor online everyday, but he also told me that my order "was on the way" 1 day after I ordered (still no crash until then.).

Only now do I realize that the mentioned vendor only kept my order unconfirmed and my order unshipped because he wanted to see whether or not the price would go up. When he saw that it crashed he decided to cancel my order (today).

This is most unprofessional and extremely disrespectful. Us buyers provide vendors with personal info and we trust them with our BTC. Whether or not the price rises or falls. Do I get half of my BTC back if the price rises unexpectedly by 200% and the vendor has yet to even confirm the order? No. I do not expect it back. There is no need for keeping orders in limbo for such a long time as 4+ days. I have yet to meet a vendor who needs 2 or more days to confirm and send an order under normal circumstances.

Sadly, this is how some vendors treat their customers. Like some sort of stock which can be easily sold if profit is insured or to prevent any loss exposure. Even for mere cents

While I am grateful at least that the vendor refunded my BTC, I will not be buying from him again. Nor from any other vendor who would treat buyers disrespectful in any way.

Most vendors are online at least once a day. And in that time they should be able to decide whether or not they will take the order or not.

This being said, I think its time for DPR to implement a system which defines exactly how much time vendors have until they are no longer able to sustain an order. If vendor does not confirm after say, 24 hours, the BTC is instantaneously refunded and the order is canceled."

deffo sumet we should think about atleast

[charas]

What about having EU as an option for the location vendors ship from. For example, I ship from a european country, but I dont want to specify it for security reasons

 On a wish list, I'd like the filter to be able to select EU including the UK. As I live in UK and like to buy from UK/EU sellers, but I have to either see UK only sellers or worldwide sellers that ship to me. There are plenty of more important things, thats just in my wish list.
have a good day

[Stevie Ray]

Buyer stats would be a great addition.....I had 50 purchases with perfect stats on the old site....Now with a new username for security it looks like I'm a noob......Guess we're all in "rebuilding" mode....Thanks, DPR!

[FriendOfTheDevil]

Ability for vendors to promote their products or notify the community of special sales. Basically if the vendor pays a to-be-determined fee, they can get a certain listing or message on the homepage. Use to announce a sale or new item addition, or to get a message out.

Favoring vendors. The ability for a buyer to favorite a vendor should only come when the account has had a certain amount of successful purchases (lets say 3) These 3 successful purchases should all be from different vendors in order to have the favorite feature unlocked. This will cut down on the many shill accounts vendors use to pad their stats, and make the amount of favorites a vendor has, carry more weight.

Adding other crypto (even just 1) would benefit us immensely for many reasons i think. But it is not something that needs to be done soon.

I have thought about this next idea for some time. If the main URL brought users to the login page then after a successful login, a page containing links would appear. These links would redirect users to each major category. For Example, a separate url for: cannabis, prescription, opiates, psychedelics, computers  etc. I dont really have experience with coding or anything and i am not sure of the difficulty, or practicality of this but i believe it would help cut down on DDOS attacks, Im sure it would be a pain for LE, It would distribute traffic better, thus strengthening the TOR network. And make it easy for people to search for products.

Buyer stats linked directly to a PGP key?

[StephenColbert]

I'd like to request the ability to sort listings by price. Low to high and high to low.

Please and thank you

deffo sumet we should think about atleast

i agree with u, thats a really dick move for the vendor to do. unfortunately there are allot of immature vendors on this site.
i think a better solution would be to create hedging just like we had on sr1. that way, a vendor pays a 4% hedging fee, bu he wont be affected by bitcoin fluccuations and neither will the buyer be affected in case he cancels the order

[haydenp]

Hedging does add a measure of stability, however in order for it to be viable, the site will need to have enormous BTC reserve on hand, especially given the current wild fluctuations.

Yes they will but with the commission rates DPR2 (or dpr3) is charging, and with the amount of items being sold on sr2 they shud have enough now or in the near future to do so.. How much do u think they need? several million dollars worth of coins..? more?

[LeapOfFaith]

I like that list I wonder what new crypto currency will be added?

[ActionBronson]

Resolution....

Auto finalize extension....

[psillybastard]

Ban vendors who dont use PGP. still talks of vendors not using it.

[osla4n]

does "favorite vendor & product list" mean you'll be able to "bookmark" things you like or want to come back to later in any way? I'm sorry if that's already been mentioned a million times, but since SR1 I've wanted this feature.

[FredLint]

How about a freegin buyers handbook like there was on SR1? I'm just trying to find out about orders in my box
that I believe were never sent and what to do. The old road explained all that!

[Avon]

no updates in months~!

[riceboysleeps]

From buyer's perspective, how about a 'wishlist' which I guess is implemented in almost all clearnet shopping sites. Would love to see something like that here in SR.

How about an escrow option ?

[garthvader]

I agree, however while I was vending on SR1, only about 10% of my customers actually used pgp.  About 10-15% used privnote.com and the rest just sent everything plain text.  I was saddened to learn how much most people care more about just getting the drugs than staying secure.  Also, I was stoked that I learned to use pgp but rarely got to use it.  I hope that the buyers on SR2 learned something about security from SR1.  I guess I will find out when I start vending again.

[brownBashee]

Desperately need buyers stats and also the ability to cancel orders if you haven't heard anything within 24 hours since order.
I've had a order waiting three days til it was shipped and only after I sent a message to remind them.
In that. Time. Could have used the BC for other orders as it was a large amount.
