Straight answers to the questions we hear every day. No fluff, just what you need to know.
Yes. We've been online continuously since September 2022. Multiple law enforcement operations have taken down competitors, but we survive because we rotate links aggressively and keep logs to a minimum.
BTC (1 confirmation) and XMR (10 confirmations). Nothing else. Monero is strongly preferred for privacy.
14 days for basic escrow. Premium and Basic-Plus members can extend up to 3 times (7 days each). Disputes go to admin mediation if buyer and seller can't agree.
Yes for vendors. Strongly recommended for buyers. We also offer optional PGP 2FA. Set up a key before making your first purchase if you don't have one.
Child pornography, prostitution, fentanyl, poison, weapons, and hitman services are banned. Vendors who break these rules lose their bond and get banned.
$500 USD vendor bond (non-refundable) + 4% sales fee. Bond must be paid in BTC or XMR. You also need FE permission on at least two other markets.
No. The bond is not refundable. This is clearly stated before payment. We use it to deter scammers and low-quality vendors.
That's on you. We publish the correct links here and on the market. If you logged into a fake site, your account is compromised. Enable PGP 2FA on any new account and never reuse passwords.
