Alphabay just hired PR staff

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

We are announcing our new PR guy: Trappy_Pandora will be taking the PR position
and will use the alphabaysupport account to answer inquiries on reddit and other
social media. I will therefore delete my alpha02 account and all announcements will
come from the alphabaysupport account. He will also be moderating /r/Alphabay, as
I do not have time anymore to moderate that. I will take a look once in a while.

Also, please bear with us during the slowdowns. roboto-san is desperately trying
everyting to take us down, including blackmailing, flooding, FUD, and a few other shit.
He seems to be using a DDoS bot in a desperate effort to shut us down. Thanks
to the mods or /r/DarkNetMarkets for marking the Alphabay threads as FUD.

The Grand Wizard suggests that AlphaBay hire Agora's PR person -- Helen Keller. Because the best PR for a DNM is no PR at all.

This is hilarious. Although.... Trappy must do something right. People still buy bud from BC. No idea why though. I may not use alphabay ever again.... just like I will never use BC again.

Trappy_Pandora please don't let this be true! Heading over to alphabay to delete my account now!


[1 Points] DareToHope:

I'm currently marking this as fud until I can double check the signature. Afterwords I will change the title to the appropriate title.


[1 Points] sweeterthanpoppy:

Please clean up the alphabay subreddit. It is out of hand with spammers and phishing links.


[0 Points] Trappy_Pandora:

Thank you all. I'm pleased to have more opportunity to help the community, especially in these times of FUD and spam.

As always I'm available to answer questions.


[-7 Points] roboto-san:

I think the desperation is coming from the other side, we are sitting pretty while alpha02 is desperately trying to hold his shitty patchwork market together.

We haven't even really thrown anything real at them. We can see you are deliberately manually processing certain withdrawals so you don't let all the money flood out of the market because you don't actually have enough money to return to all your users.

The last attack was just issuing a GET request against user pages because it is so poorly coded the user page can cause the whole site to go offline is accessed enough. That would be really embarrassing to anyone who is a professional programmer, but alphababy is ran by amateurs. Your solutions so far have mostly been just disabling the parts of the site we are accessing instead of actually fixing anything, which in a way is doing our work for us.

There are no bots or DDOS, this is a simple DOS script that we threw together in like 5 minutes, the fact that you can't tell that from reading the logs is really telling about your ability (maybe learn to use tail eventually?).

Maybe before hiring PR you should hire a competent coder to rebuild your entire market, because its a piece of shit.
