Alphabay New Features: Mnemonic, Buy Protection, Search by ship time, Auto-refund for banned vendors

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

First of all, thanks to everyone for making Alphabay the main market in the Darknet. We
won't disappoint, and we are announcing new features, in order to further improve your
experience.

1) Password mnemonic

Every user, when logging in right after the update, will receive a one-time mnemonic that
will be used in case they lose their password. If you lose your password, you will need to
contact a moderator with your mnemonic. Since it is only shown once and isn't written
anywhere, having the mnemonic proves that you are the account owner, even if you get
phished. But please, stop getting phished.

2) Buy protection

Sellers (and buyers who will be away for a while) can go in their Profile page and deactivate
listing purchasing. This will make the account unable to purchase listings until the user
reactivates it using his PIN. If a vendor gets phished, this can be useful to make sure his
account won't get drained. We recommend that sellers enable this option.

3) Search by average ship time

You can now search listings using this criteria. This means the average between the time where the
order is received, and when the order is shipped. This can help buyers screen out slow vendors and
make sure to receive their stuff even faster.

4) Auto-refunding of banned vendors

Orders who are from banned vendors and disputed will now be automatically refunded after 6 days.
The moderator usually does it faster, but if the moderator is missing, your funds are safe. Why 6
days? Because some bans might be a mistake and we always give a few days to make sure that
the ban was warranted.

Other changes:
- - Users who get locked after 5 PIN attempts will now receive a message, rather than just being sent
to the profile page. This was causing some confusion.
- - Affiliates who have thousands of referrals couldn't open the page correctly, we now solved the
problem. (you will recognize yourself)
- - Since there was no official data regarding the ban date (except moderator notes), all dates were
set as today, so auto-refunds will start in 6 days.

Be careful! Many phishing links ask for PIN. You will never be asked for PIN on a real login page. Avoid
the hidden wiki like the pest, they are showing phishing links.

[1 Points] vifalu:

Very nice. I always liked the idea of a mnemonic security layer.


[1 Points] lordredvampire:

Alpha.. are you planning on multisigs?


[1 Points] 3ther3al:

Alphabay is still running and didn't exit scam like abraxas. So many honest vendors lost a lot. Yet, the scammers got away with their coin. Good to hear from uncle dickhead and company.


[1 Points] Battyhole:

I think everyone hating is a little naive as to the scale of AB operations.

I for one feel is it not proper to shittalk comrades who actually invest profits into delivering a service.

Other markets tend to not have search, filters, uptime, vendors..


[1 Points] Kazaa99:

Mnemonics sounds like a good idea. Hope its not a script they had lying around from the last people who used that, Evolution ;)


[1 Points] SOLUTIONCO:

Please, I was never given a
Mnemonic: and I can't reset my password... I just deposited some coin, and can't log in for some reason. My login and password has never changed, that I am aware?

Rule number three should really apply to markets too. If i wanted to know the news for a market I would go to their subreddit.

Also, rule number 10 for this account, /u/alphabaysupport.

You are trying really hard to build enough trust to steal a little more coin.
