Operations & FAQ

BlackOps Market Link is the authenticated directory for the BlackOps darknet ecosystem. We provide a resilient gateway containing cryptographically signed V3 onion mirrors, operational security tutorials, and PGP verification keys. Our architecture ensures users can always locate a valid entry point to the market, even during network stress or DDoS events.

Access requires the Tor Browser to resolve .onion top-level domains. Ensure your browser is up to date and set the security slider to "Safest" (disabling JavaScript) to prevent script-based de-anonymization. Use the main mirror: yjqgwd5iqoog6s2xazggwu4iyjocziijdcixqlwh5e6vjbks63ojd6yd.onion. If the main link is congested, utilize one of the mirrors from our Links page.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is enforced to guarantee user safety. It serves two functions: authentication and encryption. During login, you must decrypt a random challenge message (2FA) to prove ownership of your key. For orders, PGP ensures that shipping details are encrypted on the client side before ever reaching our servers, meaning even a database compromise would yield no readable address data.

We exclusively accept Monero (XMR) due to its privacy-preserving architecture. Bitcoin and other transparent ledgers allow for chain analysis, linking wallets to real-world identities. Monero uses ring signatures to obfuscate the sender and stealth addresses to hide the receiver, ensuring complete financial opacity for all market participants.

To prevent double-spend attacks and reorganization risks, BlackOps Market requires 10 confirmations on the Monero blockchain before funds are credited to your balance. This process typically takes 20 to 40 minutes. Do not panic if funds do not appear immediately; the network must confirm the transaction block depth.

• Escrow: The default for most transactions. The market holds the funds until the buyer confirms receipt or the auto-finalize timer expires (7-14 days).
• Finalize Early (FE): Reserved for top-tier vendors with 300+ sales and 98%+ feedback. Funds are released to the vendor upon marking the order as shipped. FE allows faster vendor restocking but carries higher risk for the buyer.

Prospective vendors must register a standard account and navigate to "Become a Vendor". A security bond is required, payable in XMR. This bond acts as collateral against scamming and is refundable upon honorable retirement. Established vendors from other major markets may apply for a bond waiver by providing PGP-signed proof of identity from their existing profiles.

We utilize a progressive fee structure inversely correlated with sales volume, ranging from 4% down to 2%. Fees are only deducted upon successful order finalization (aftercare model). This incentivizes the market to ensure smooth transactions and fair dispute resolution.

To support scaling operations, vendors can generate sub-accounts for staff. These accounts have granular permissions—for example, a staff member can be restricted to only viewing orders and printing labels, without access to the wallet or withdrawal functions. This compartmentalization significantly reduces insider threat risks.
