BlackOps addresses

Three published addresses for the same market. Copy rather than retype, and verify the signature once you are through.

This site publishes the list and does not monitor it. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and the check that settles it takes under a minute.

Questions

Short answers with links to the reasoning. Several are unsatisfying, and that is deliberate.

On answers that expire

The honest answer to what the current address is stops being true. The honest answer to whether a market will exist next year is that nobody knows. Wherever those get answered confidently, the confidence is the product rather than the information.

Questions people ask

Which of the three addresses is the real one?

All three are published addresses for the same market, and none of them prove anything by appearing here. That is what checking on arrival is for.

Is BlackOps down right now?

This site measures nothing and will not answer with a number. Build a new circuit, try another address, then open any unrelated onion service. That last step separates a market problem from a network problem in seconds.

My old address stopped working and now it works again. Good?

No, and it is the clearest single warning in the register. Nothing retired returns under the same string, so something resembling it is answering under different ownership. Close the tab.

Somebody posted a new address while it was down. Should I use it?

No. That window is worked deliberately, because the usual comparison is unavailable and people are anxious. See the outage opportunist.

A support account messaged me after I posted a problem. Is it real?

No. No market runs support on a messaging app, a forum account or email, so the channel itself is the answer without any assessment of the account.

Do I have to verify every single time?

Yes. The people who get caught are rarely the ones who never learned it. They are the ones who did it for a year, got comfortable, and stopped.

Is two factor enough to stop phishing?

No. It defeats a leaked password and not a live clone, which collects the password and code together and replays both immediately. It is the second line, not the first.

How much should I keep on the platform?

Nothing you are not about to spend. A parked balance is the most common loss here and it has no attacker attached to it at all.

Why does this site not show uptime?

Because it measures nothing. A figure it cannot back would be worse than none, and the ones other sites publish almost always measure reachability, which a clone passes comfortably.

Can I trust this site?

Not on faith, by its own argument. Everything here tells you to verify what it publishes, which is a smaller claim than telling you it verified on your behalf.
