What does Segwit mean for Darknetmarkets?

Lightning is most definitely not anonymous. And establishing a channel with your dealer is one of the dumbest things you can do. Use ZCash or Monero.

Buying drugs with bitcoin is almost like buying it with paypal.

There was recently a Monero Tracking competition with a substantial cash price.
People had to guess which address they thought the Monero went to.
Spoiler alert: No one guessed correctly and as far as I'm aware the bounty will increase for round two.

For those wondering how to clean up this thread from ignorant bashing of legitimate alternatives,
You can now downvote garbage.

You must be fck stupid to use bitcoin. The segwit means nothing. Keep using your secret 'paypal' solution.

SegWit can enable some privacy enhancements for Bitcoin. Schnorr signatures would incentive more people to use CoinJoin because the transaction fees will be lower. Confidential Transactions can be soft-forked into Bitcoin via soft fork thanks to SegWit. TumbleBit is one of the more interesting projects in terms of darknet markets. Just google any of these terms to learn more about them.

Can anyone give me a crash course on what Segwit even is?

Considering how bad the arguments against monero are a lot of the time on these threads, I kinda wonder if those arguments are made by LE accounts. It's always things like: no one uses it. The GUI is not pretty. Im tired of the cultists shilling it. But never any valid actual technical arguments.
Guys, remember that LE has a massive incentive in keeping dnm users in bitcoin. It makes their job way easier. Monero would make their job very tough indeed

Isn't segwit already active?

Came here for the lulz, don't worry guys the monero shills are active all over reddit it seems. I noticed this too in my thread in /r/cryptocurrency:
Notice the brigading and serious downvoting of non-monero-approved comments in there. /u/Mastermined710 has (had?) a comment that seems to be gone now that had over 30 downvotes! He just posted the information that I'm about to post below.
Notice as well, that they use almost the same excuses/lies about 'not being interested in monero' or there 'not being any sort of shill campaign, just check the monero subreddit/slack!!!' As if any one would be stupid enough to believe a covert shilling campaign would be out in the open. But the fact that they use the same arguments verbatim proves that there is a coordinated monero shill campaign. Their transactions volumes are low so they are appealing to their 'base' (that'd be you guys), to bump them up.
I'm a crypto enthusiast and DNM are one use-case of crypto. Monero fits that use case pretty well, but the community is full of immature people with no business acumen or 'chill'. They go around other subreddits and fud coins to death, you can see it here where they say Dash is not private. Dash does NOT use coinjoin, fyi that is also fud. But I'm not here for dash (which is one of my hodls), but to investigate the possibility of a crypto/redditwide pro monero shilling campaign.
Finally, as a notice, I'm sure none of the shills told you that a well-respected cryptographer earlier this year released a tool called http://www.monerolink.com, where you can link all transactions from 2014-2016 with 100% (due to blockchain timing analysis apparently), and all transactions from 2016-2017 are linkable with a probabilistic distribution dependent on mixin size. So they have a table on the site, 1 mixin transactions are linkable 86% of the time, 10+ mixin transactions are linkable 22% of the time. Monero has fixed this bug since January of this year, but if you used monero on a DNM between 2014-Jan 2017, BEWARE!

Being able to transfer money and order instantly will be awesome.
I was watching this talk about privacy in Lightning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzg_u9gHc5Q#t=2m44s By someone who talks so fast he's clearly on some kind of stimulant. Looks like lightning will be pretty private.

Lightning is not anonymous. Bitcoin remains the same albeit faster. Using Bitcoins on DNMs is like walking naked in the street. Police reports from the AlphaBay shutdown showed that Monero is the way to go. If you want to get tracked using BTC it's your choice.
