PSA: Do not use AlphaBay

Multiple users having deposit and withdrawal issues (see threads in both /r/darknetmarkets and /r/alphabay)

People unable to deposit, yet blockchain clearly shows 9+ confirmations.

People with funds in AB. Withdrawals are stuck in processing, then eventually get cancelled, and funds are put back in onsite wallet. Funds are stuck in AlphaBay.

We've seen this behavior before with Sheep, Nucleus and other markets right before they go down and fly away with our coins.

Do not deposit. Do not use AlphaBay until people confirm things are back to normal.

I repeat, do not deposit into AlphaBay

We indeed had issues, sorry for the trouble - we're back up with all coins correctly added to involved accounts.

Use your brains people. Markets that have spent development time and money rolling out new features are not about to throw all that work away 5 days later with an exit scam. Preferably these new features attract more business, which will hopefully accumulate into a pile until the admin's cashout number is reached, at a later time.

Alternative market? Because the couple I've visited have shit domestic Canada. This was not a good beginning to using DNM.

I had a weird feeling they were about to pull some shit last night when I couldn't get on and there was a message about them doing some upgrades. The site seems to be a lot faster now so maybe they were doing upgrades. It could be the deposit and withdrawal issues are just coincidental because we have no way of knowing how many successful deposits and withdrawals there have been in the same time frame. If they do pull an exit scam I could see Dream taking over as the dominant market.

Hope this is not an exit scam ,but I hoped the same when Evo went down , and this feel exactly like that.

Why the fuck have they not said anything? It's just silent not a word
