   If anything, I would say that the problem is the LACK of "hiring hitmen
   in the online bazaars of the 'dark net'".    Silk Road apparently
   worked quite well in regards to allowing people a mechanism to sell
   illegal drugs.
   If even a single hitman had been hired, by a single customer, and
   proceeded to kill even a single target, things would look very
   different on all subsequent days.  If Sanjuro's "Assassination Market"
   taught us anything, it is that the public is quite ready for a
   fully-functioning AP-type system, whether it be based on Tor, Ethereum,
   Augur, or any other such mechanism.
