- https://monero.forum (Discourse)
just wondering what the community in here prefers on which type of forum would fit more the Monero community (and it’s potential growing community who have P2P marketplace in mind)
literally just wondering what yall think, and since admin doing his own thing anyways, am not gonna push for this or that, just to have an idea on what yall prefer or what
- Monero (XMR)’s forum (Discouse): could eventually have a different design, it dont have to be that one and could be improved.
It could also potentially have a Monero payment integration directly within the forum:
- Wownero (WOW)’s forum (MyBB):
It seems to have some inspiration from 2 designs of forums that are proven to work as marketplaces: -
- https://breachforums.bf (database leaks marketplace forum)
has a reputation’s system, same one seems to have been implemented on wownero’s forum as well, for example: -
-
admin’s profile: https://wownero.forum/User-admin
-
admin’s reputation tab: https://wownero.forum/reputation.php?uid=1
-
- https://breachforums.bf (database leaks marketplace forum)

- https://forums.d2jsp.org (P2P videogaming goods & services, online since 2001 with it’s own forum currency, has a design with a proven record to work as a marketplace)
the “2/3 rule” is often used when trading
over there is like pretty much the “Trust Level” (TL on discourse)
and is used as a way to determine “who sends first” when doing a trade
(note: mediators (escrows) are also a thing on the videogaming forum)
which, for discourse could read how those TL work over there:Understanding Discourse Trust Levels
But over there the 3 variables of trust for that 2/3 rule thing are:
- “Join Date”
- “Amount of Posts”
- “Wallet Balance”
Which those first 2 could also be the case on a platform such as Discourse
but for the “wallet balance” part, i guess for Discourse instead it could be like that:- “Join Date”
- “Amount of Posts”
- “Amount of Like received”
- Which right now, on wownero’s forum, those 3 variable of “trust” to determine “who sends first” with their current design could be:
-
- “Join Date”
- “Amount of Posts”
- “Amount of Reputation”
