Yesterday, I listed two smartphones for sale on Nostr via Amethyst's Shopstr integration. Today, those phones sold. No Facebook Marketplace. No eBay. Just beautiful decentralized shopping and decentralized payments. I'll ship them tomorrow. We are winning.

Are they using a parcel or perhaps their home address? I'm asking for considering opsec.
On a more serious note, I think Eric Hughes put it best: "Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. **Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know.** Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."

I've heard this and I agree Imo the cops will kill you for anything. Not cutting your grass, bitcoin, crack. It's all the same to those zombies.

you can directly go to shopstr.store !
Definitely! Our implementation of a WoT score and/or rating system for products and sellers is currently being fleshed out. Might make it one of our milestones for round 2 of Top Builder.
The camera is the best feature, IMO. You can't beat that 50X telephoto lens. It's a large phone with a large screen. Battery life could be better, but it's all about how you use it and what apps you use. Mint condition, always in a case. I'll even toss in my $50 leather case for free. The only reason I'm selling it is because I was given an opportunity to upgrade. Otherwise I'd be using it for another year or two.
That's actually a good idea, nothing sounds more trustworthy than a distributed reputation system, the thing is... how possible would be for a user to just create profiles and say he performed transactions with his other profiles in order to farm himself this socre or reputation?
Do you know of an btc escrow service for a larger txn if one wanted to sell a big ticket item on shopstr? #shopstr #asknostr

And I thought I knew up to nip ~40...! Thank you very much! Have a great day!
But wouldn't that disincentivize the legit user who is going to leave the review too? What do they win by leaving the review anyway as they are using time wibut also would cost them sats? Besides a user with a big enough lightning reserve could still fabricate their own rating. Gonna think about this further 🤔
