About WhiteHouse Market
- Our goal is to create a simple user experience while maintaining a high level of security and anonymity.- Everything is written from scratch. No public market script.
- Simple, intuitive design without unnecessary bells and whistles.
- Bug Bounty program.
- Fast customer service. If we get overloaded, we will suspend registration until we get more admins/moderators or until we clear our backlog.
- The official language is English. We may also offer limited support in Spanish or French.
- Both Tor and I2P mirrors.
- No vendor bond, open for everybody. We may consider adding a bond/registration fee at some point in the future.
- No withdrawal or deposit limits.
- 5% fee for sellers, no fee for buyers. This is a flat fee for finalized orders only. No hidden fees, no deposit fees, no withdrawal fees. For high volume sellers, fee can be negotiated.
- We only accept Monero for payment. Bitcoin lacks the required privacy and some users don& #38; rsquo;t know how or neglect cleaning their coins.
- Listing prices are in USD or EUR, and the exchange is calculated when ordering. XMR to EUR/USD rates are updated periodically.
- Up to 4 pictures per listing, up to 5M picture size.
- Up to 15000 characters per listing description.
- Private listings. Can be used for custom orders/discounts to specific buyers.
- Quick listing clone/duplicate.
- Idle timeout selected at login.- Vendor selectable auto-finalize time 5-45 days.
- Detailed logging of failed sign in attempts. You will be able to see of someone tried to sign in to your account and what credentials were wrong password or 2fa. Logs are kept for limited time.
- Simple image-based captcha, very easy to solve for humans yet hard for bots.
- Vacation mode.
- Partial refunds, can be issued by seller or by admins in case of a dispute.
- PGP signed mirror list / market statement / canary with proof of freshness, updated at least once every 72 hours.
- Configurable, PGP encrypted jabber/xmpp notifications, for both vendors and buyers.
- For now we only support escrow. We may add multisig if many users are requesting it, but for now we want to keep things simple.
- Except for some generic administration messages, no plaintext communication is allowed. You will not be able to use this market without a PGP key.
- Withdrawal requests have to be signed with PGP. This way even if someone bypasses both your password and 2fa, they can& #38; rsquo;t steal your money without your PGP private key.
- Mandatory two factor authentication based on a list of random words.
- All messages are truly end to end encrypted, so are the attached files. Nobody except the sender and the receiver will have access to your communication, not even us. Users have to encrypt the message/attachment with the receiver& #38; rsquo;s key before sending them.
- We assume that any server can be hacked or seized eventually, so we don& #38; rsquo;t want to keep more data our servers then we need to.
