DarkBay / Changelog

November 2024 - Upcoming changes

We created a darknet market where everybody can create own store and post offers for free and soon you turned this place into trash by posting troll offers, cloning existing offers and listing items that you do not own for sale.

Troll offers

Troll offers like dogs for sale will be removed and their creators warned. 🟨

Repeated offers

Repeated offers will be reduced to one and their creators warned. 🟨

Wrong categories

Products in wrong categories will be moved or deleted and their creators warned. 🟨

Cloned offers

Fake clones of legit offers will be removed and their creators banned. 🟥

Fees for creating a store

Creating a store will no more be free. Users will pay one-time account upgrade price or buy credits to perform some actions like creating new store and bidding them higher. We also consider posting offers by users without creating a store.

Fees for listing items

Posting an offer will also cost a small fee or credit points.

More transparency

Users asked for some missing features and they will be soon added:

  • how many times product was sold
  • how many products store sold
  • direct messages (DM)
  • multiple photos
  • user reviews
Home page

No more random offers. Only best offers will be visible on main page from multiple categories based on popularity and reviews. We consider other blocks like recently bought items or bestsellers of a day.

Account levels

We consider adding account levels (will decide later or vote by community):

  • customer - only buying
  • basic - up to 1 store or direct, up to 100 offers
  • silver - up to 5 stores or direct, up to 500 offers
  • gold - up to 10 stores or direct, up to 1000 offers
  • ultimate - unlimited stores and offers
Credit system

Example costs of actions (will discuss and vote by community):

  • create store: -50 credits
  • create offer: -10 credits
  • start new DM: -1 credit
  • hand up/down: -1 credit
  • feature store: -100 credits
  • feature product: -100 credits

Example ways to get credits:

  • get hands up by other users
  • sell product (with payment and delivery)
  • buy credits for bitcoins or balance
When will changes come?

Expect these changes by the end of December 2024.
