How to enter a dark market
Five steps. Educational only.
- Isolate the PC — Tails (USB) or Whonix (VM). Not your daily Windows.
- Open Tor Browser — only Tor opens .onion links.
- Verify the URL — compare the full onion to a signed list. See verification.
- Encrypt on your device — PGP, not the market “encrypt” button.
- Prefer Monero — XMR notes.
Do not use Chrome on Windows. Do not trust the first onion from Google or Telegram.
