Gone are the days of happy Dark Net Markets.

An year ago from today, this place used to be so much more full of positivity and happiness. There was immense competition in the market and very few scammers. Everyone was so happy including sellers an buyers. There were well known vendors, quality reviews were being published, people had access to more information.

This year turned things the other way around. It is like a dead place now to be very honest. Sales have dropped, there are more scammers in the market now, people are losing their money or assets, most of the good vendors are gone, people are scared as fuck, creating alt accounts to hide their activities. lol. The only thing which I can speculate that grew is the number of potential buyers.

Alphabay forums were such a great place to discuss things, this sub too was way more interesting with better threads compared to what is being posted these days.

With all due respect, LE is doing their job. People will continue to trade, there is no solution strategy as of now at least to stop this.

Today I smoked a spliff that came from AB, I was saving it all this time. It still got me high. I officially said RIP to Alphabay today. I lost the great vendors too. Some are still there, but as I said, people are scared.

Anyhow, I wish to see this place as it was before. With good reviews about the few good guys that are still out there, as well as the new ones who created their name in the market I don't wish to see a scared community, I hate to see bullshit dnmthrowaway accounts, specially when they are named like that.

Be resourceful, don't come here asking information which you can find easily elsewhere. Acquire the necessary knowledge it takes to reach your objectives and always keep your heads high!

I don't think thats the case at all. The community has been at even more dissray before. Evo exits and the sub is uproar then mega bartard drama and everyone complains for weeks (not to mention astrid drama).

The community is much larger now though so its more disbanded, less tight nit and more randoms. It's not a bad thing it just changes the dynamics of the sub. With that being said, this whole thing that we have is a battle. Theres no winners, only people who are currently winning and people have already lost.

AB was huge, when I started there I had a hundred sales in my first month, it was a solid platform and I will miss it. The good vendors have re-branded. I like sourcery for now but it's 1/10 the traffic if that

Decentralized is better for everyone. The markets are not going away

I don’t trust anyone who smokes a fucking spliff.


[8 Points] HODLLLLLLLLLL:

Wow. Imagine how much LE loves to see this. Just admitting defeat and saying exactly as they want.

Great job but you are wrong and any of them that read this will feel that they won.

Awesome.....

Give it time my friend and a new market will pop up better than AB. Remember there was silk road which everyone loved then LE took that down and within 6 months AB popped up and it was way better so if past proves itself like last time we will get a better DNM than AB and TR. Ive always liked DM even though everyone talks shit about DM i love it. Ive made probably around 100 orders all successful and 50 of them on DM and I have never had a problem. You Just gotta choose a vendor, find reviews if the majority are good place the order. Key thing is to order from only a select few vendors. The least amount of different vendors that have your address the better.

consider its a war....wa have fallen soldiers but as a whole we unstopable...i started vending a month before AB went down ,,then hansa then TR ...but im still not gonna stop....just gonna improve my opsec as more I grow ....noone will win in this war in close future but its gotta continue.....the longer its going the more peolple will understand thats its a waste of taxpayers money...and when our 100years old congress idiots start dying yonger ones we understand that its waste of money and things will start changing

Regardless of what people say, a lot of people claiming Dream is a scam Market were never scammed by Dream. They are just repeating what He/She said. That's contributing to the problem IMO. I've never had a problem with Dream, not saying that Staff, etc. hasn't pulled scams in the past, just saying I've never been ripped off by them and they have been around since SilkRoad was up and running. That has to count for something right????

Yeah things used to be fun


[1 Points] TheLastCig:

Don't say that! I'm fucking happy be happy :(


[1 Points] FreshestNuts:

Honestly, I'm enjoying the markets a shit ton right now. I found solid weed and xanax connects and have had made 35+ purchases on Dream without a single problem. Never lost any coin to a scam either. Establish a relationship with vendors and you will be fine. But I do understand the purpose and meaning of this thread.

ACID 16 was truly a year to remember. I feel sorry for everyone who missed it.

[1 Points] BTKthrow:

Yeah, maybe for this community, but your looking at the subs that have come to this.


[1 Points] samwise4444:

Seriously, it seems like it wasn't that long ago when things were rockin on AlphaBay like it was fucking Amazon ! All the goodies you could ever imagine, and competitive vendors lined up with their wares.

Fast forward to today and I already feel like one of the privileged one's who knew those days :(

But, I have faith in the human spirit and know that, in the end, we mostly get what we want regardless ! ;)


[1 Points] Thx002:

AB forums were pure sex, pretty much the fraud core of the internet internet, that's were all big honchos were and the good discussions

Get on DNMUK sub if you want a fun happy place


[1 Points] hooawayy:

Last time I tried to get on the DNMs (about six months ago) I thought everything seemed fucked so left it a while. Come back and things don't seem to have changed much, just more instability. Gotta say, I remember back in the SR2/Agora days everyone saying that LE would never have a chance of success but it seems them and opportunist scammers running markets have done a pretty good job of getting people back onto the street, the volume of listings and sales seems way lower than they used to be.
