>- On top of that, he supposedly began coding the site after SR1 was busted. How does it take over a year to set up a simple e-commerce site when almost 60 other clones were able to set up in that time? To me, that reads like it's a hobby, at best, or that he's completely incompetent, at worse. In neither case does one want to use his site.
It could also mean the opposite. You ever pentest those other markets?

No, but consider this: the biggest two markets, Agora and Evolution, started within months of the SRR first nattering on Reddit about how he was going to start a site someday. Which would you bet is more secure, a site which is ~a year old and a major target most of the while, or a brand-new site? (Hint: before answering, you may want to look at the competing-risk chart in my Reddit post to see what the empirical estimate of risk of being hacked over time currently is.)
