How to enter a dark market

Five steps. Educational only.

  1. Isolate the PC — Tails (USB) or Whonix (VM). Not your daily Windows.
  2. Open Tor Browser — only Tor opens .onion links.
  3. Verify the URL — compare the full onion to a signed list. See verification.
  4. Encrypt on your devicePGP, not the market “encrypt” button.
  5. Prefer MoneroXMR notes.
Do not use Chrome on Windows. Do not trust the first onion from Google or Telegram.
