We need to make taking down DNM's useless.

Think about it, the only thing LE gains from taking down sites is the money on the site they can seize. We need to find a way to make this impossible in the future DNM's. By implementing something new like this we will essentially make LE give up on going after DNM's since it will result in huge losses.

We need to migrate to decentralized markets like open bazaar. Authorities have much more trouble dealing with decentralized organizations.

Start by decentralizing communities (market communities/subreddits). A big reason why the scene has not become useless with the AB and HANSA take down is because r/darknetmarkets still provides a platform for information. Imagine if the sub was not here, where would we get all the spicy first hand news from? NYT comment section? I don't think so. Since it is centralized the sub can be taken down as well, making take downs even more effective in disrupting darknet commerce. A market with a decentralized forum community could outlive their market takedown for many years (and perhaps spark new iterations of the market). Just look at how many takedowns and exit scams this sub has survived, the community is still here.

PS. Don't ask me how, I have no idea.

agreed 100%, tighten up opsec to the max, get a trusted vendor and all should be good as long as vendors change packaging & shipping methods regularly and even for each package. Also if you get a good vendor who's fe and they take funds straight off the markets the risk of money loss should be little. Don't keep funds on the market either unless its like £5 or something small.

It already is useless. We just can't have it be profitable.

No the thing they gain by taking down markets is being able to keep their jobs and probably big bonuses.

Even if it was useless, it makes good headlines. Which brings more funding. Which is why LE does a lot of things they do.

Its not the money on the DNMs that gives LE the motivation to shut them down. It`s the funding they receive from the government that they receive, and they need to bring results in order to receive said funding.
