We monitor the darknet (Tor hidden services) for interesting news.

Everyone should be considering Monero alternatives. Know the top currency used on the darknet for years has many expert adversaries trying to compromise it.

Rotate and diversify don't stake your life on one privacy technology. Layer with multiple. Maxi-ism gets you arrested.

I've said for years: Monero desperately needs a DEX. Zcash is BOOMING from having two now, and ZSA tokens coming up next year. Troll me all you want but Monero is behind. (Retoswap is not a DEX.)

Who will be the first Monero DEX?

Canada shuttered Tradeogre and seized over C$56 million of its users' money, normal traders committing no known crimes. Tradeogre has championed privacy coins for years, this is an assault on privacy.

Tradeogre victims: lawyer up. Canada should not get away with this theft.

Monero had a six block re-organization today that looked deliberate, possibly due to a selfish mining strategy by Qubic Mining. There is no evidence of a double spend attack.

Get out there and mine more Monero. #Decentralize

All activists should obsess over darknet arrests, criminal complaints.

Mass surveillance tech is practiced against Tor crypto users, to be perfected against anyone who chooses to have a voice in the future. Learn from others' mistakes, study darknet prosecutions.

Zcash won the DEX arms race. It is now on 2 DEX's with >1 million USD liquidity: Maya Protocol and NEAR Intents.

Monero still has no DEX, minimal liquidity on atomic swaps, and has every LE crosshair in the world aimed at compromising it. I have lost faith in XMR.

Assume that Tor is compromised if you are hosting a .onion hidden service.

Cryptomarkets are getting seized regularly (Archetyp, Incognito). Activists: don't use Tor alone without additional network hops, don't commit crimes.

Archetyp was seized by German law enforcement. All server data (order histories, Monero withdraw addresses and TXIDs) should be presumed in the hands of investigators. "Operation Deep Sentinel"
Archetyp, one of the the darknet's largest drug cryptomarkets, is suddenly offline with its users racing to find alternatives. It is not yet clear if this is an exit scam, law enforcement action, or actual maintenance.
It is fixed. Thank you Cloudflare. A reminder to use our .onion which cannot be hijacked or censored by third parties.
