@Febo u seem not to like it -
welcome to a decentralized world of privacy.

U can demand anything u want, u will never receive it. This is self ruled territory.

I know what I've seen.

Please don't follow me and bug me with ur name. I no longer care if Febo is David Latapie or if Febo is not David Latapie. It simply is not a matter of importance to me and I would like not to hear about the Latapie or the Febo or anything of that sort if u would excuse me, thank u very much for ur cooperation. Now excuse me while I switch on my vape.

This thread is about the Monero darknet market and Monero darknet markets in general.

The Monero is very good technology.

Ok so I got an invite by pm the other day with a TOR link to a Monero-powered Darknet market

The system felt very snappy

I've just tested deposit withdraw but couldn't test buy anything cuz no vendors active for now


Seems like it's just waiting for GUI to appear after all these years to open for general public


~CfA~

Really! I was wondering why a Monero darkmarket hadn't surfaced already.

As for the no-listings: the trouble comes with darkmarket sellers sticking with Bitcoin. It's now a habit, and habits aren't easy to break. It's hard for many of us folks to remember, but a practical-minded darkmarket vendor might well translate "cryptograhically insecure" (Coinjoin et. al.) into "acceptable risk."

Trouble is, it's not easy to convince a fellow that puts his freedom on the line by selling darkmarket goods that his practical-minded acceptable-risk judgement is incorrect. If ya do that, ya tend to come across as a back-seat driver (or to use your term, a "nifty boy.")

It'll be interesting to see if Monero can get over that hump...

Looks nice; is anyone using it?

Yup, I occasionally use it when I want to spend XMR at a site that only accepts BTC. Put in the recipient address, drop XMR into xmr.to, and it sends the BTC right to its destination.

That site was actually what made me realize the potential of XMR, specifically that I can have private funds that at any point I can spend on any Bitcoin website.

There's no way to tell.

That's the point.  

EDIT: If Monero's flexible blocksize is consistently growing over a considerable period of time, Occam's razor would indicate people in general (but nobody specific) are using it, rather than a single well-funded adversary/pumper.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

This all sounds like a load of baloney biscuits unless proof is a-comin'.  Never used monero.  Never used dark markets either but sounds interesting.

My favorite coin though, is Dash.  I like how it's targeted toward dark markets, even though I don't use those markets.  It gives it a little bit of an edge.  Don't kill me.

If the pharmacist endorses the Dash he should give the Monero a try. It is a great coin. Disregard their community though - it's very bad.

So the pharmacist doesn't know yet that the Dash is centralised? https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-this-picture-i-thought-we-were-a-decentralized-project.9229/

Let's not project on other people what we ourselves desire.

I like the Dash and the Monero cuz both is some dope tech,

Community members of both have some of the extremest, that is the thing I repudiate.

Do you know how many txs are going through right now? I'm not asking for specifics, obviously ; I'm just looking for a general estimate on how much tx volume there is now.

[toffoo]

Here is the key they signed the messages with:

Moneroad?  Cute!

If this is true is would certainly explain some of the price action we've seen the past few days.  If people are receiving private invites to test it out it would certainly motivate one to load up on a few extra XMR before it becomes widely known.  Of course this probably isn't good PR for monero if it's first real use case is a DNM.  But then again I figured someone would have coded up something like this by now.

[CoinHoarder]

Please, stop talking to yourself... it's scary

Yes, I am glad someone can see it. I spent some time about twoish years ago trying to tie sock puppet accounts together. FromAbove (then going by come-from-above) was pretty much THE main suspect. Ironically, I made the tie in between him and Moneroman88 specifically two years ago.

I even caught him red handed signing a Moneroman88 post with his ~CfA~ signature. Here is the unedited post (which was instantly deleted by Moneroman88 in hopes no one saw it):

I have tied you to at least a few of them, I am pretty sure you are Moneroman88 as well. You slipped up on a post and I was able to make a connection, along with the other data points I am comparing matching up.

ouch if u were data analyst in my company id fire u bro

~CfA~

He likes to deceive other people using sock puppets to fatten his wallet.

He often talks to himself with many sock puppet accounts, trying to make the conversation appear as if it is happening in between multiple people.

I am confident he has been involved in most of the big pump and dumps going on around here for the past couple years by using his sock puppets to create hype, then once he exits his position he will troll the coin in an attempt to sway public opinion from the coin he was hyping to the coin he intends to pump next.

Ask him to provide proof that there is a Monero Darknet Market, and he will make up some BS excuse... BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST.

[CoinHoarder]

You can see that the day ComeFrom signed up here, he also signed up 4 sock puppets. He changed his name from Come-From-Above since then to simply ComeFrom. I would speculate that he did so to try and cover up when he was previously exposed, and that he has tendencies to make sock puppets. Most of the other Come-* users are most likely him as well. See image:



He has been smarter about it since I tied a lot of his identities together a while back. He now chooses random names, and doesn't sign them up all at the same time.

[CoinHoarder]

He recently speaks very fondly of Waves and Lisk. All coins of which have been pumped hard by sock puppets on the forums lately...

He is a long time religious supporter of NEM. Which... wait for it... sharedropped 100% of the original distribution to Bitcointalk users. I wonder how many users he was able to get in the NEM sharedrop?

Moneroman88 and FromAbove both sleep and post on the forums around the same time time of the day:


Sorry to triple post, but DunningKruger's post reminded me about CfA... I really hate people who utilize sock puppets. It ruins the usefulness and quality of the conversations on these forums.

[Febo]

Well done coinhoarder. I did nto noticed much more  beside obvious NEM.

Both him and moneroman88 partly shil and partly FUD monero.

And if i remember right moneroman88 swim up on surface with BitcoinEXpress threat of "time attack something" on Monero in Autumn 2014.

Yes both From Above and moneroman88 opened lots of Monero threads trying and claim how superior Monero is to other coins and make impression that whole Monero community thinks that way.
They of course never post in Monero ANN or Monero Speculations.
