why do they call it dark marketplace anyway?
never want to get involved to this dark marketplace but is it easy to get inside this place that everyone is just allowed to get in? if yes then it sure not safe there. CIA and FBI must be monitoring this place.

the network is accessed via special browser software that uses the old bounce technique of trace blocking. You can actually look at the top of the browser on a tab and see that you are connected through this server, to this server, to this server and so forth, the same is true for the sites themselves.
while anyone can get there, most of the best exchanges have a good check they do before allowing a person to sell on the marketplace and a lessor check for buying.
still, when using a vendor you should check the previous orders for feedback and one of those is a stealth rating. People still can get caught pretty easy, using a bitcoin address to deposit that is easily traced to them, tracks left on the PC and various other things. The first big drug sales bust was made by watching the blockchain for matching pairs of numbers. for example, let's say I paid you on here for a service, that service costs exactly $129 and through here and the service you provide you can easily be traced. You then, push that TX to another BTC address in hopes of getting more anonymous, and you do that a few more times, then you deposit on the dark net exchange site the same $129. while the TX's may be harder to trace, the fact that you(knowable) just got $129 and then an anonymous trade on the dark net was done using a $129 deposit, there is the trace back to you. a few times of that and you're caught.
tumbling BTC can be traced some, the $129 is sent to the tumbler, the fee is $9, just to make it easy, and then magically another BTC address gets a $120 TX, it can be watched, depends on the level of things you do and how good you are at them. real laundering would involve that $129 being spent on three different sites I own, leaving some behind in the first address, those TX's can be less than 24 hours apart, then those funds from my accounts need to be further distanced, i make a few trades here and there, spaced out, i can even make one of those a private sale to you on the same dark exchange that you want to deposit in, and the best end result is for the funds to end in at least three different wallets
Seem like a hard job not to mention the use of mixer.
I would simply assume later that monero will be thier best option to make things easier.
What sort of illegal stuff are there? Virgin teens?
lol, it is actually not that hard if you simply use a wallet for that one purpose only and make sure you spin the inputs.....the most common things sold are illegal drugs, fraud stuff like SSN's and credit card numbers, paypal account info, software for various bad things.
most of the exchanges specifically prohibit things like selling people, organs and weapons beyond a certain level of destruction. the drug sections are interesting and a lot of dealers have gotten to the point where they work from home and the post office. i saw one on there that fills a candle jar halfway, lets the wax dry and then drops in a protected baggie and fills the jar the rest of the way with wax, putting a wick near the top. there is no smell for drug dogs, very little to see via xray and nothing obvious to visual inspection, these guys put a lot of work into it, lol
Criminals just can do amazing things. I do have some of the things that are illegal to sell such as seashells that are now not allowed. Not sure if anyone would be interested to buy such but maybe someof those people may want and so getting into this dark market will be an option for me to dispose it.
Can you give me alink as to how to get into the market so i can publish a post there?
well, the links are not traditional like that, google and download the tor browser, once it is there, run the browser and wait, it can be slow to open because it connects to many boxes in between the dark net and you, on that home page that opens, search for "grams search" and you will find a search engine just for the most popular exchanges...also, off to the right hand side of grams search you can find a drop down of the markets and click right on them. like i said, i doubt you will walk right in and start selling stuff, the sites can be invitation only, have strong checks for vendors to prevent law enforcement and have a hefty deposit of BTC as an escrow, you could end up dropping $500 into a site to sell some seashells
