Breakdown of current DNM rumor and speculation

This is a short breakdown of some of the rumor and speculation surrounding the main DNM's in the wake of the Evolution scam. Vendor shops and forums are not included, with the exception of RAMP which is longstanding and established. I have tried to make this unbias

Trusted Sketchy Unknown
Agora - Pros - Been around a long time, never hacked or scammed. By far the largest market since the Evolution scam. Cons - It has frequent downtime and users centralized escrow. Nucleus - Pros - Has a nice interface. Cons - Complaints of widespread scamming and missing deposits. It excelled since the demise of Evolution but has some reports of shilling. Centralized escrow. Abraxas - Pros - Relatively unknown but no complaints. It has some similarities to Agora. Cons - No obvious cons. Centralized escrow.
BlackBank - Pros - Been around a long time, never hacked or scammed, no striking complaints. Uses multi-sig, centralized escrow and FE for transactions. Cons - No obvious cons. Ironclad - Pros - New market and nice interface. Cons - Complaints that it looks similar to Evolution. Centralized escrow. Alphabay - Pros/Cons - Run by former TCF carder but no known complaints. Some reports of doxxing by vendors. Allows carding. Centralized escrow.
Middle Earth - Pros - No striking complaints and running for some time. Cons - The admin claim JS is safe and its implemented on MEM but there is an optional non-JS version. Centralized escrow. Mr Nice Guy - Pros - Good reviews. Cons - There are unverified reports that the admin was doxxed. Centralized escrow. Crypto Market - Pros/Cons - Unknown but no complaints. Centralized escrow.
RAMP - Pros - Trusted forum market with few complaints. Pros/Cons - Russian speaking. No escrow. - Dream Market - Pros/Cons - Been around for a long time, small but no complaints. Centralized escrow.
Outlaw - Pros - Been around a long time with few complaints. Cons - Difficult to understand interface. Centralized Escrow. - Tochka - Pros - Dead drops, no complaints. Cons - Centralized escrow.

Ironclad is not Evo, the admin is clueless about a lot of subjects that the Evo admins were experts on. None of those subjects are a concern for the security of the site... But the admin on Ironclad doesnt know as much about the products people sell as the Evo admins historically did. The admin on Ironclad doesnt seem like he's a carder or a drug user, he knows nothing about that stuff, just an admin and businessman. Anyone saying its Evo setting up shop again is painfully wrong. pure FUD.

dont trust nucleus, they are scammers. i dont understand why so much people migrate to nucleus. agora is definitely the most trusted marked, but the downtimes are annoying. i prefer the interface of the mr. nice guy marketplace, but im suspicious about the doxx. cant wait for the shitstorm until kimble and verto scammed everyone again with their new website called nucleus.

I really fucking wish I had screenshots, but Dream Market once listed a Facebook page for their market. I really wish I had further proof other then my words, but I don't. It's up to you to decide what my words are worth.

sorry but how are dead drops a pro? if anything that should be a major con...


[1 Points] massiveweiner:

Thanks for this, think I'm gonna move to middle earth, they've been around for a while, survived onymous, and seem to be quietly running a solid market. Getting sick of Agora's downtime and i think they might be next to scam.

How much did blackbank pay for this ad?


[1 Points] boofk:

I wouldnt list any site as "trusted", they just havent done anything yet.


[1 Points] None:

I would add to the list of black bank con's is that there is a low amount of products/ has not as much vendor variety as agora.

I always have a hard time understanding why new markets seem to pop up whenever a prior market gets taken down...?
