A darknet market is a commercial website on the Dark Web, dark web that operates via darknets such as Tor (anonymity network), Tor and I2P. They function primarily as black markets, selling or brokering transactions involving Illegal drug trade, drugs, Cyber-arms industry, cyber-arms, weapons, Counterfeit money, counterfeit currency, Carding (fraud), stolen credit card details, Identity document forgery, forged documents, Pharmaceutical drug, unlicensed pharmaceuticals, Anabolic steroid, steroids, and other illicit goods as well as the sale of legal products. In December 2014, a study by Gareth Owen from the University of Portsmouth suggested the second most popular sites on Tor (anonymity network), Tor were darknet markets. Following on from the model developed by Silk Road (marketplace), Silk Road, contemporary markets are characterized by their use of darknet anonymized access (typically Tor (network), Tor), Bitcoin or Monero payment with escrow services, and eBay-like vendor fe ...

Dark Web
The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets ( overlay networks) that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. Through the dark web, private computer networks can communicate and conduct business anonymously without divulging identifying information, such as a user's location. The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, the part of the web not indexed by web search engines, although sometimes the term ''deep web'' is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the dark web. The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Hyphanet, I2P, and Riffle operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as clearnet due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web or onionland uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion routing under the network's top-level domain suffi ...

Monero
Monero (; Abbreviation: XMR) is a cryptocurrency which uses a blockchain with privacy-enhancing technologies to obfuscate transactions to achieve anonymity and fungibility. Observers cannot decipher addresses trading Monero, transaction amounts, address balances, or transaction histories. The protocol is open source and based on CryptoNote v2, a concept described in a 2013 white paper authored by Nicolas van Saberhagen. Developers used this concept to design Monero, and deployed its mainnet in 2014. The Monero protocol includes various methods to obfuscate transaction details, though users can optionally share view keys for third-party auditing. Transactions are validated through a miner network running RandomX, a proof-of-work algorithm. The algorithm issues new coins to miners and was designed to be resistant against application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining. Monero's privacy features have attracted cypherpunks and users desiring privacy measures not provided in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
