Black Ops Market

Before you type a password

Open one of the addresses above in the Tor Browser. Copy it, paste it, do not retype. In a 56 character string one wrong letter opens a different site, and that site will have nothing wrong with it except that it is not the market.

When the page loads, compare the last six characters of your address bar against the tail printed beside each address. Match, and you are where you mean to be. No match, and nothing else on the page matters, no matter how correct it looks.

The first load of any onion is slow. Tor builds a fresh three relay route on every click, and the market has to find you down it. Sixty to one hundred twenty seconds of black screen is a route, not a failure. What to do when an address refuses to load is its own page.

Fake mirrors are out there

Phishing pages circulate addresses that are one character off, or that do not start with blackops at all. They look identical at a glance. The market keeps a running list of confirmed fakes on its Dread board, and the list keeps growing.

Run the five point checklist before your first login. It takes ten seconds, and it is the difference between a typo and an empty balance. How a fake mirror works.

All three are the same market

There is no primary address and no fallback. Each onion is a front door to the same shop floor, the same escrow, the same accounts. If one door is slow on your circuit, the next one is the next one. Keep all three saved. When an address changes, the old one simply stops answering, and nothing else tells you it happened. The full mirror list.
