[QUESTION] At what point is it an exit scam?

Blackbank has been down for 73 hours with no word from the admin since going into "maintenance mode." Agora got back up for a short time. So did AlphaBay. And there have been posts with fixes for Tor. How long with radio silence until BB is considered dead and/or an exit scam?

I know if it was an exit scam, it wasn't well-executed, but not saying anything for 73 hours is not acceptable if you are trying to get back up. There is no excuse for not giving a daily update, even if even there is no new news. I feel BB has no real intention of ever going back up again. I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. But the silence is deafening.

Dude, 73 hours?

BlankBank has been around near about as long as Agora - they're very close in age. I don't monitor BlackBank like I do Agora but 73 hours is nothing. I can't specifically remember when, but I am almost certain there have been times when Agora was down for nearly 96 hours if not more with zero or maybe one update(72 hours in) from the admins. And announced maintenance mode? Who ever heard of that.

You can keep an eye on walletexplorer.com/wallet/BlankBankMarket for sanity reassurance. Based on previous transaction history I would say that they are genuinely performing systems maintenance and service is not operational. There have been no withdrawals since 2015-05-17, and no large suspicious withdrawals either. Here's one example of an exit scam from 2015-03-17 and 2015-03-18: Evo exit example (May 18) and May 17

Truth is though, unless the market admin signs a message saying they are exit scamming, no matter what ever happens, we'll never know

It is considered dead when they don't reappear. I don't get it...do you want a specific number?

Some bs huh? Even if they do it sucks because so many people are going to be fe only if it does come back.

I dunno but it's already been way too long. Can't mitigate a ddos after days? I don't even know shit about ddos and I know it's too long. This shit should have been fixed in 24 hours flat
