Is it safe
Safe for a marketplace on Tor comes down to a few concrete things, not a feeling. Here is the checklist, in the order it matters.
Before you log in
- Verify the address. This is the big one. A lookalike
.onionis the most common way people lose everything. Compare the full string, and use the PGP signature if you want to be sure. - Use the Tor Browser, not a clearnet gateway. A gateway sees your whole connection.
- Use a dedicated profile. Keep the market in its own Tor Browser profile so its cookies and session stay separate.
While you use it
- Keep every order in escrow. Do not release coins early, and do not move deals off the market.
- Store your two-factor secret. If you lose it, a new phone can lock you out. The accounts page covers this.
- Check the vendor's history before a large order, not after.
No market is risk-free, and this site does not monitor the addresses or guarantee anything. What it does is keep the current addresses in one place and explain the checks that prevent most losses. Do those checks and the main risks are handled.
