all the darknet markets have eBay style ratings, but for the vendor and products purchased, not for reviews on negotiating with a randomware group that weaponized it
Silk Road was 10 years ago that would have been like the smallest one ever since then, just curious why it is referenced at all, and in such an odd way
“I heard eBay has bulletin board like reviews” you know you can just go look, in a web browser “woah thats crazy talk, I prefer 10 year old hearsay”
anyway, they often have a separate forum where one could ask more about a group
- progmetaldev 3y agoMost people are inexperienced with the dark web. I would hazard a guess that even most of the HN crowd, as far as having actually used the dark web. There is a lot of fear and misinformation, even when it comes to a tech-literate crowd. People fear government agencies infiltrating the servers that they might visit, and that server dropping malware/spyware that reveals their identity. Even just having your name associated with visiting a darknet market could be disastrous for your reputation, and I assume this is the line of thinking most people give to the idea of visiting these servers. Unfortunately, this line of thinking keeps people away, which actually reduces the ability to stay anonymous as compared to having lots of traffic moving through Tor.
