Operational Documentation

This site operates as a dedicated entry node for the Blackops Market. We host signed mirrors and provide real-time status updates to ensure users can establish a secure, verified connection to the marketplace. By utilizing this gateway, you ensure you are accessing the correct cryptographic infrastructure associated with the official market key.

Verification is performed via PGP signature analysis. The market administration signs a text message containing the currently active onion addresses with the market's private key (Key ID: 0x4A2B9C). You should import the public key into your PGP client (e.g., Kleopatra, GPG) and verify the signed message. A valid signature confirms the links are genuine and have not been tampered with.

This clearweb mirror uses minimal Javascript for UI elements like this FAQ toggle and navigation responsiveness. However, the actual darknet marketplace requires Javascript to be disabled in the Tor Browser (Security Level: Safest) to minimize attack surfaces. This mirror is informational; the market itself operates on a stricter security model.

Blackops Market enforces mandatory PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) to ensure zero-knowledge communications. All shipping addresses and sensitive messages must be encrypted client-side before transmission. This ensures that even in the event of a server seizure or compromise, user data remains mathematically indecipherable to authorities or attackers.

Upon login, the server presents a random text string encrypted with the user's public PGP key. The user must decrypt this string using their private key and enter the result to gain access. This proves ownership of the key and prevents account takeovers via password theft. 2FA is enabled by default for all vendors and optional (but recommended) for buyers.

Blackops employs an aggressive data retention policy. Completed orders are purged from the database after 30 days. Shipping info is deleted immediately upon order finalization. Unused accounts with no balance are purged after 6 months of inactivity. We store no IP logs, and the server infrastructure is designed to run in RAM where possible to minimize forensic footprints.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a transparent ledger, meaning every transaction is traceable by blockchain analysis firms. Monero uses Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and RingCT to hide the sender, receiver, and amount. Blackops Market accepts only Monero to guarantee financial privacy for all participants. We view BTC support as a security liability.

Our Monero daemon requires 10 confirmations on the blockchain before a deposit is reflected in your wallet balance. Depending on network hashrate and block times, this typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. This threshold is necessary to prevent double-spend attacks and ensure the transaction is irreversible.

Blackops uses a traditional market-held escrow. When a buyer places an order, funds are moved from their wallet to a secure holding state. The vendor is notified to ship. Once the buyer receives the goods and clicks "Finalize", the funds are released to the vendor's wallet. If the timer expires (Auto-Finalize), funds release automatically unless a dispute is active.

Finalize Early (FE) is a privilege granted to vendors with exceptional track records (high volume, near-perfect feedback). It allows them to access funds immediately upon marking an order as shipped. While this aids vendor cash flow, it removes escrow protection for the buyer. Only use FE with vendors you implicitly trust.

If an order is not received or is deficient, the buyer can initiate a dispute before the auto-finalization timer expires. This summons a moderator to the encrypted order chat. Both parties present evidence (logs, photos, etc.). The moderator reviews the case and executes a binding decision to either refund the buyer or release funds to the vendor.

To prevent funds from being locked indefinitely, orders automatically finalize after a set period if no action is taken. For digital items, this is typically 7 days. For physical goods, it is 14 days. Buyers can request a one-time timer extension if shipping is delayed. Once finalized, funds cannot be recovered.

Tor hidden services are susceptible to network congestion and DDoS attacks. If the main link is unresponsive, check the 'Links' page on this site for alternative mirrors. Blackops maintains a distributed network of entry nodes. Rotating your Tor identity (New Identity) often resolves connection timeouts.

Account recovery is only possible if you have access to the PGP key associated with your account. You must navigate to the recovery page and decrypt a challenge message signed by the server. If you have lost your PGP private key, the account and any funds within it are permanently inaccessible. Admins cannot bypass encryption.
