The things readers ask most often, answered without padding.
There is no single permanent address and nothing on the ordinary web. BlackOps publishes several onion addresses that all reach the same market. Copy one from the addresses block on this page and confirm it on the login screen before typing anything.
Monero only. There is no Bitcoin option and no background swap. You fund in Monero and you spend Monero, which is the market defining decision rather than a limitation.
Because a public chain records every payment permanently and readable by anyone, years after the fact. Monero conceals sender, receiver and amount by default. Removing the public option takes away a way to be traced rather than a feature you needed.
Compare the onion printed on the login screen against your browser address bar. BlackOps shows it in the anti-phishing image and in the header. A clone can copy the design perfectly and cannot do that. If they differ, close the tab.
Almost certainly not. It is usually a tired Tor circuit or a short flood on that address. Request a new circuit and retry, or open a different verified address from this page.
Your payment sits in an address needing two of three keys to move, held separately by you, the vendor and the market. Nobody can take it alone, which is what makes buying from a stranger workable.
No, not on a seller you have not tested. Finalising early hands over the coin and removes the dispute route at the same moment. Confirm receipt when the package is with you and correct.
What the current order needs. Anything else belongs in your own wallet. Funds parked on any market are exposed to whatever happens to that market.
No. It publishes briefings and verified addresses. There is no account, no payment, no advertising and nothing collected about visitors, and it is not the market itself.
Never. A page asking for it is collecting accounts. Store the phrase on paper, never type it into a web form, and treat any request for it as proof the page is fake.

Open these in Tor Browser only, and compare the onion printed on the login screen against your address bar. If they do not match, close the tab.
