Just being more anonymous.

It sounds like you have the jist of it from what I can gather, but I am still a noob when it comes to this.

Mostly porn from what I understand, the only .onions I ever go on besides SR are anonchan and talk.masked, and even that is rare. I basically see TOR as a tool for buying drugs and nothing else, though that may change some day if the police state gets bad enough

And do Freenet and I2P have different sites on them from Tor?

Freenet and I2P do have different sites, but I have never heard of any drug trade on either of them. Freenet is pretty much pedo central (even compared to Tor), not sure if there is anything worthwhile on I2P its really fucking small (it has like 5 thousand users).

Tor is mostly used for surfing legal porn and getting out around firewalls, but it also has numerous other users. Tor has about half a million people using it at any given time, I doubt they are all drug dealers and pedophiles.

I'm fairly certain they're not scammers, but LE. Don't trust them at all. Also don't kill people.

I don't get how the hitmen would work.

They claim to take 50% up front and 50% after the job is done, through bitcoin and neither party ever knows the other.

So what would the incentive be for the person paying the hit to stump up for the second 50%?

Methinks all of them are scammers who just nick off with the initial 50%.  Not a lot the hit-placer could do.

Note:  I do NOT want to hire a hitman.  Just curious about how this stuff works or supposedly works.

Hilarious! Anyone trying to find a hitman on the darknet should just cease immediately. That kind of business cannot be established through this mode of communication, as there's no way of verifying credentials whatsoever. Sorry saps who actually think they've found one are in for being scammed out of lots of $$$.

Luckily I like all the people in my life. :)  And I've got the Road, so I'm pretty mellow.  8)  No killing plans here.

I still think the bulk of them are more likely to be scammers than LE, though no doubt some are LE.

What are the .onion links to these other sites?  So far only really been on SR, and im not interested at all in weird porn but some of these other services seem really interesting to check out.

Check out the onion Core. It's a directory. Some pretty interesting shit on there by all accounts, only thing that I didn't go through is the porn and the Polish Pedophile/Pedophilia advocacy site..... Fuck that for a game of of rugby on a Sunday afternoon, I'm all good for donkey shows, people who take dumps on each other and Eastern Europeans talking about how they like to touch kids. Par that off.

Thanks for the link.  I've edited the old one out of my post.  If you could do the same with the quote above, that would be great.  No point making things easy for the sick fucks.  >:(

This made me laugh, although I would be pissed if I got conned, who wouldn't?

EDIT: Well I guess I was conned too. I just ate 200mg of mdma I received from tony and it hasn't done a damn thing for me.

The only thing I use the darknet for is drugs don't really know of too many other uses for it.

Yeah for sure but FML did all the trolls need to come out from under the bridge, log on, decide they didn't have the stones to say shit from their real accounts, create loads of ultra-twattish-named new accounts, all use mind reading to all post the same words at the same time, trigger others to respond the exact same way at the exact same time and carry on doing this for hours on end? :P

My eyes feel like they have been gangbanged by 50 identical people and I've just got the word TONY written in digital jizz in the back of my retina!

So, from what I can tell, the darknet is used for:

- trading of illicit goods and services
- provision of illegal porn
- hackers doing whatever it is hackers do
- political dissent groups having their little get-togethers

Is that about it?  And what is it mostly?

I think it mostly falls into one of two categories..
 1. Dope
 2. Trolling

To some.. a heaven.. to others.. a HELL.

Well I do my best LeisureLass but I am sure that it wont be too hard to see what I am saying here. Although to be fair, I can't see much at the moment, some of that digital jizz just leaked out my tear ducts again...nasty stuff.

It's hard to believe anyone actually falls for shit like this. Like people with waaay too much money to burn. Yeah, minimum 20k down, we give you 50% return on your money after we invest in fixed match.

Yeah guy, I have no idea who the fuck you are yet I'm going to fork over 20k and trust you to give me back the principal plus another 10k return in short order and live off the interest and reinvestments the rest of my life. How stupid do you think I am?

Gotta be some seriously gullible mofos that fall for that.

Kind of like those deepnet sites that advertise assassinations for 20k requiring 10k down payment. Oh OK Guy. Like some professional killer who has no idea who you are is going to off someone for you for 10k down. You can't know who he is of course, but after putting down your payment he'll let you know that clients refer to him as The Jackal. And you must remain patient while he goes ensure everything goes swimmingly. It could take months, even years to lay the perfect trap, but it's to protect you after all.

Fuck, what really gets me is that there must be suckers that actually fall for that shit or else they wouldn't proliferate. Either that or they are full on LE setups.

The most I've really seen apart from porn, drugs, scams and the like are just discussion sites and archives of books/information. Most of it's too boring to be bothered with. :-\

This. But hidden services are a tiny fraction of what Tor is used for. Most Tor users probably never go to a .onion

Tor is used for anything that you want to do online anonymously. It is also used for a variety of goals such as getting around firewalls.

Here is what I use TOR for.

Silk Road.
Silk Road Forum
Erowid (lol)
Tormail (I have several, they are my main email's now.)

buy drugs
Communication anonymously
Research things that some people might find bad. (drugs)

Fuck email accounts where they log everything and are itching to give it to the gov't.  Fuck dealing with companies that are itching to bring me harm.
