Field notes
The described payment flow keeps wallet keys and funds with sellers: the server assigns a previously supplied address to an order and records the seller's own payment attestation. The site says messaging is ciphertext-only and that the pages work in Tor Browser's strictest setting without JavaScript. Its status is explicitly pre-launch, with legal review and a GPG usability test still ahead of a recommendation for mainnet use.
