After dark0de I personally have moved to Abacus as I feel it is the best market out there.
However,based on my experience of using DNMs for many years,I want to suggest some improvements.
1.The captcha is quite good for rate limiting and to keep the bots in check however many times it does not even accept the correct answers and says that your answer was invalid.I have even asked multiple people to try and solve that and all feel the same.
2.There should be an option of directly paying the order amount in XMR when placing an order instead of asking users to fill up their wallets on the market and then place orders.

Good day sir, First of all thanks for your comments, right now we are working to bring live some new features :) About your suggestions: 1. I understand that everyone hates captchas but they are needed on the darknet for several reasons. For the moment we won't modify the current rate limiting captcha (but it does not mean that maybe we do it in the future). Also yeah, there is a learning curve at the start but specially for those that used WHM we are using the same library and for those people is really easy. Do not open several tabs at once or your captcha won't be validated. But we have in mind reducing the rate limiting for trusted users. 2. After the next update we will go with the direct payment option. And we are aware that there are more missing features like a cart, all of them are in our roadmap (which we prefer to not make public). Most important things are direct payment option and a cart. If you read some of previous updates you will see that we do not ignore our users' feedback and we already added features based on community suggestions. So your feedback matters! Best regards

i made a list of suggestions, but now almost all of the list has been either implemented in updates, or confirmed to be coming soon like night-mode and direct pay. Only a few suggestions left and theyre low-priority. 1. please display utc time and xmr price on top page like btc price in different currencies. 2. please increase size in the listings of price (with colour) and vendor name. 3. please increase size of entry/ddos captcha pics and the captcha to send messages. Edit: 4. Show Public PGP keys fingerprints

Can confirm the OP's point 1. Have had this issue numerous times when I've been rate limited after what feels like a very small amount of link clicks, and then after triple checking the captcha's (as I know it's touchy on rate limiting) sometimes, even though I'm 100% sure I've got them all, I have to do it multiple times (on the same browser tab, not multiple). I'd put this down to being my fault if it happened on the login queue captcha, but it doesn't usually.

From your suggestions the only new is adding the xmr price to the top, which totally makes sense. Let us try some things about that first. About the rest almost all will be available soon except the point 3, for ddos page we already added severall zoom in and about the captcha to send messages there are some pending improvements for that (although it is on hold for the moment due to some reasons).
