I agree with your points.
My speculation is that we need to provide more "broken down tools" instead of the full thing. Haveno works because the use case is very well defined. Other different types of markets (goods, services, gambling) and moderation setups not so much.
I myself am thinking of building some tools in this direction. Glad to see other are having thoughts in the same direction.
@lionroe Sounds complicated, and the biggest flaw of OpenBazaar still remains: the lack of web client. We discuss this article because it is available on the web. Lemmy and other Fediverse apps are successful because they have web clients.
Why not start with existing federated software like flohmarkt? Make it federate over Tor (maybe it already does). That would solve the hardest problem, discovery. Other features can be added later.
Vendors will host everything themselves, so there is no need for any incentive model.
I may annoy you right now but I could suggest using nostr as well lol there's already marketplaces on nostr the only problem is there is no mediation but nostr marketplaces show up in any nostr app http://ikduzlpwcc4khvj27rlywgic6eaxj5w3brj4uo54z2sfyj7b2hfrepyd.onion/marketplace
@rafael_xmr @monero This app connects to 30 clearnet domains and all images are stored on nostr.build.
Yeah it requires javascript for relays, like everything on nostr every app is a proof of concept but marketplaces also work on amethyst over orbot etc
