Protocol Documentation
Essential knowledge base for BlackOps Market operations. Security protocols, financial anonymity mechanics, and marketplace standards.
01 Platform Basics
BlackOps Market is a resilient, privacy-focused darknet infrastructure established in Q1 2024. We facilitate secure commerce between over 280,000 users and vetted vendors. The platform is architected for maximum anonymity, operating exclusively with Monero (XMR) and enforcing strict PGP encryption standards to protect user data from surveillance.
Connection requires the Tor Browser (The Onion Router). Standard browsers cannot resolve .onion domains. For optimal security, configure Tor to 'Safer' or 'Safest' security levels to disable JavaScript. Access points should only be obtained from our cryptographically signed Mirrors List.
Registration is fully anonymous; no PII (Personally Identifiable Information) or email is collected. Users define a username, password, and withdrawal PIN. The system generates a mnemonic recovery seed upon registration. This seed must be stored offline immediately. It is the cryptographic key to account recovery; support staff cannot restore lost credentials without it.
02 Operational Security
Verification is twofold. First, validate the PGP signed message on the login screen using the official BlackOps public key. Second, upon login, confirm that your unique personal security phrase and visual hash pattern match your records. If these do not match, terminate the connection immediately.
Mandatory PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) enforces client-side encryption of sensitive data, such as shipping details. This ensures that information is encrypted before it reaches our servers, rendering it unreadable to admins, law enforcement, or attackers in the event of a server compromise.
During login, the server presents a PGP-encrypted challenge message. You must decrypt this message using your private key to reveal a one-time authentication code. This proves ownership of the associated private key and prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
03 Financial Infrastructure
Transparent ledgers like Bitcoin pose significant risks through blockchain analysis. Monero utilizes ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to obfuscate the sender, receiver, and transaction amount. This fungibility is non-negotiable for maintaining the financial anonymity of our users.
Upon purchase, funds are transferred to a secure market multisig wallet. The vendor is notified to ship but cannot access funds. Funds are released only when the buyer finalizes the order upon receipt, or automatically when the escrow timer (7-14 days) expires. This mechanism mitigates non-delivery risk.
To prevent double-spend attacks, BlackOps requires 10 confirmations on the Monero blockchain before crediting deposits. This process typically takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on network hashrate. Users should account for this delay when funding their wallets.
04 Marketplace Mechanics
If an order fails to arrive or is defective, the buyer must initiate a dispute before the auto-finalize timer expires. This action freezes the escrowed funds. A moderator then reviews evidence from both parties (tracking, photos, chat logs) and adjudicates a binding resolution based on established market rules.
BlackOps enforces a strict harm reduction policy. We prohibit Child Exploitation material (CP), murder-for-hire services, weaponry, explosives, poisons (including fentanyl/carfentanil), and fraud products targeting individuals. Violations result in immediate vendor termination and blacklisting.
05 Network Status
DDoS attacks are common in the darknet ecosystem. BlackOps employs a distributed mirror architecture. If the main entry point is stressed, access the network via our official rotating mirrors listed on the Links page.
Registered users should utilize the internal ticketing system for order issues. for account recovery or access problems, use the contact details on our Contact page. All external communication must be encrypted with the Support PGP key.
