So is it true that there is a shadow marketplace coming? I have heard a few things here and there and wanted to know if its true
There is a lot of talk in IRC on this subject. Yes, I believe it is coming and as stated in articles released prior it is clearly part of the overall strategy of Shadow. See

Shadow liked the DarkWallet concept, but wanted to make it better. Instead of building their wallet into a browser framework, they built a browser framework into their wallet. This is the first time that this type of framework has been layered client-side in a cryptocurrency. It gives the team more flexibility to build custom solutions like a digital distribution platform, something the team is already working on.
Looking at this roadmap (
http://shadowtalk.org/topic/259/shadow-roadmap ) the update the ShadowChat is equally remarkable. Voice?! Files?! Wow!
However.
Was has been accomplished JUST NOW with ZK Anon I believe to be truly mind-blowing and a Milestone for Crypto-Currency.People are just waking up to this as I myself did only a few days ago. People will now bang on it, a whitepaper will be published and my expectation is that the product will be praised and admired.
With this rock solid crypto at its core
Shadow can now develop applications and services with an unprecedented level of anonymity as yet unexperienced in the post-Satoshi era.
Just my two rynos*
