Catharsis. Named for the purge, not the feeling of relief you get when the pack lands - though that works too.
Official thread, live links only. Catharsis opened in the gap Archetyp left and has spent the year since turning a stopgap into an actual platform: clean interface, real dispute flow, and a vendor onboarding path that imports listings and review history so a known vendor does not have to start from zero on a new market. Three days to confirm, five days to ship, escrow until the order is met.
Coins: XMR by default, BTC and LTC supported. PGP is optional, which is the honest position - recommended and documented, not gatekept. Dead drop support is built in rather than bolted on, every product carries harm reduction notes, and the server keeps 14 days of data and no more. Vendors are verified before listing; a market that lets anyone in is a market where a clone farms your reviews.

How do I verify the official Catharsis link?
