Operational FAQ

Blackops Market is a next-generation decentralized commerce platform engineered for anonymity and resilience. Built from the ground up with a custom codebase, it serves as a sovereign infrastructure for verified vendors and buyers to transact freely. We prioritize operational security (OpSec) through mandatory encryption, distributed mirror nodes, and a Monero-only settlement layer.

Access requires the Tor Browser configured for maximum security (Safety Level: Safer/Safest). Navigate to our verified V3 onion addresses. Do not use standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or proxies. The primary entry point for Blackops Market is:

Yes. Blackops Market requires zero personal information. Registration only asks for a username and password. We do not log IP addresses or browser fingerprints. For account recovery, we utilize a generated mnemonic seed phrase—this is the only way to restore access if credentials are lost.

Blackops Market exclusively supports Monero (XMR) to guarantee financial privacy. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a transparent ledger susceptible to Chainalysis, Monero uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to obfuscate the sender, receiver, and amount. This ensures that your financial footprint on the market remains mathematically untraceable.

Every user is assigned a unique integrated subaddress. Deposits require 10 confirmations on the Monero blockchain (approx. 20 minutes) to credit. For withdrawals, we implement an 'Auto-Sweep' protocol that automatically forwards funds to your external cold wallet once a user-defined threshold is met, minimizing the time funds sit in the market hot wallet.

We utilize a standard escrow model to protect buyers. When an order is placed, XMR is locked in the market's multisig wallet. The vendor ships the goods. Funds are released only when the buyer marks the order as 'Received' or the auto-finalize timer (typically 7-14 days for physical goods) expires. This creates a trustless environment where vendors must perform to get paid.

Verification is critical. Blackops Market signs a PGP message every 24 hours containing the current valid mirrors. You should import our PGP public key and verify this signature before logging in. If the signature is invalid or the mirror is not listed in the signed message, assume you are on a phishing site and exit immediately.

Two-Factor Authentication via PGP is the gold standard for account security. When enabled, the server presents an encrypted challenge message upon login. You must decrypt this message using your private key to reveal the authentication code. This ensures that even if your password is stolen, your account remains inaccessible without your private PGP key.

Absolutely. Blackops Market enforces mandatory PGP encryption for all shipping details. The market database only stores the encrypted block. We also implement an auto-burn policy where sensitive order data is purged from our servers immediately after the order is finalized.

Vendor status requires paying a bond (refundable upon retirement) to deter scammers. We accept established vendors from other markets with proof of reputation (PGP signed profile). All vendors must utilize PGP 2FA and adhere to our strict prohibited items list. New vendors are subject to standard escrow holding periods until trust is established.

If an order fails to arrive or is defective, the buyer can initiate a dispute. This freezes the escrow funds. A support moderator will join the chat to review evidence (tracking logs, communication history). The moderator acts as an impartial arbitrator to issue a refund or release funds.

Finalize Early (FE) allows trusted vendors with high reputation metrics (500+ sales, 4.95+ rating) to access funds immediately upon shipping. This bypasses escrow protection. Buyers should exercise extreme caution and only use FE with vendors they explicitly trust, as FE transactions are non-refundable by the market administration.

DDoS attacks are common in the darknet ecosystem. If the main node is unresponsive, cycle through our rotational mirrors. We maintain a distributed architecture to ensure uptime.

Because we do not store email addresses, traditional password resets are impossible. The only way to recover an account is via the mnemonic seed phrase provided during registration. If you have lost both your password and your seed phrase, your account and funds are permanently inaccessible. This is a security feature, not a bug.
