Great idea.
I just wonder how Flohmarkt is read by non-Germans.
Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that? -
Great idea.

Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that?Definitely weird on first reading. New names often seem weird or dumb at first so maybe I'll just get used to it. Anglicizing it might make sense? Fleamarkt?

Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that?I think an English localization as 'Flowmarkt' or 'Flowmarket' might be more catchy in English-speaking countries, since the intended pronunciation for 'Flohmarkt' isn't clear at a first glance.

Cool. If u can host it as a tor hidden service that is a large an influential market that might benefit from such a thing. Haven't looked but it might need some additional features to work as a decent platform in that sense.

Why would English be objectively better than German?

Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that?At least most speakers of European languages will pronounce it close enough to German - though most will not do make the r in markt as hard as Germans do.

What localities does this operate in so far?

That name...

The name has already made this nonviable for the average person
