No, that really was no joke or stupid PR gag. But when one door closes another opens. I will publish details regarding our solution soon.

What's the definition of soon in this context?

what is DCN?

tosaki,

It's a little  disingenuous to make a public announcement about the closing of your site, disappointing all of your user over what seemed to be a liked and much used service, then to come back and say "Oh wait, we've figured it out, we're not really closing - New at 10:00."

Bitfloor lost hundreds of thousand of dollars, shut down to deal with the security issues and never once mentioned closing and they are back in operation.

For the sake of transparency I think you  owe it to your user and the community in general to explain yourselves here.

Otherwise is looks like a publicity ploy at the expense of your users.



I second that

It was stupid and not professional to announce the closure without figuring out the alternatives we have. As I already said we have a serious solution which will be a benefit for all of us. Informative details to this whole story and - for more transparency - background information about Bitmit will be published soon (bitcoin magazine, codinginmysleep.com).


Something fishy about this whole thing.  They playing us (or somebody)??

The only fishy thing on Bitmit might be this https://www.bitmit.net/zh-cn/trade/i/3022-fishnet-stockings-black  Wink


Thanks for your support

Dear Bitmit,
I do have a question. What country are you operating from? And what were the acts prohibiting you?

Thank you

They operate from Hong Kong and the problem seems to be with escrow.

In general: Because you're trying to do business, and doing business as a hidden service will immediately kill most of that business.

What would happen to the trade volume of ebay if ebay.com suddenly moved to ebay(...).onion?

Even SilkRoad would (I presume) explode with traffic if it was feasible to operate securely in the clear. (Which it is not.)

Going hidden has to be an strict necessity in order to outweigh the not-so-trivial inconvenience.

I already thought of this, but what's more inconvenient and detrimental to trade volume than getting shut down?

Exactly. (Go open AND get shut down, OR go hidden service and stay tiny.)

This scenario is the only scenario where a hidden-service-only business model is preferable to the alternative.

I'm curious.  Why operate a normal web site out in the open when you can just set up a Tor hidden service?

Just because there are sketchy sites on Tor doesn't mean your site has to be sketchy.  Operating a normal internet web site just opens yourself to all manner of regulatory (and law enforcement) interference even if you're not doing anything wrong.

Because voluntarily disclosing your physical identity and location to give people more recourse in case you turn out to be a fraud is a good way to immediately build trust.
