Open these in Tor Browser only, then compare the onion printed on the login screen against your address bar. If they do not match, close the tab.
| Severity | Problem | Area | Likely cause |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | BlackOps will not load at all The address times out or the page never finishes loading. | Access and loading | A degraded Tor circuit on your side, or a flood against that specific address. |
| Minor | Pages load but everything is extremely slow The market opens, but each page takes many seconds and images crawl. | Access and loading | Tor routing overhead plus a slow relay in your current circuit. |
| Common | The captcha will not load or will not accept anything The login captcha is blank, broken, or rejects every attempt. | Access and loading | Image blocked by a partial page load, or a stale session on a loaded address. |
| Critical | The address on the login screen does not match your browser The onion printed on the page is different from the one in your address bar. | Access and loading | You are on a cloned login page built to collect credentials. |
| Common | The login rejects a password you know is correct Credentials that worked before are refused. | Account and login | A cloned page, a stale session, or a two factor step not being completed. |
| Serious | Locked out after losing the PGP key used for two factor Two factor is enabled and the key that signs the challenge is gone. | Account and login | The private key that signs the login challenge no longer exists. |
The whole path from a clean Tor Browser to a confirmed delivery on BlackOps, in the order you actually do it, with the mistakes that catch people marked out.
How to buy Monero, hold it in a wallet you control and fund a BlackOps order so the deposit lands the first time without a shortfall or a missing payment.
The account setup that makes a stolen BlackOps password useless, and the storage habits that keep you from locking yourself out.
What 2 of 3 multisig escrow actually does on BlackOps, how a dispute is weighed and decided, and the single action that removes the whole protection at once.
Why BlackOps runs several onion addresses, what stays the same when you switch, and the search that costs people their accounts.
There is no single permanent address and nothing on the ordinary web. BlackOps publishes several onion addresses that all open the same market. Copy one from the addresses block on this page and confirm it on the login screen before typing anything.
Usually a tired Tor circuit or a flood on that one address. Request a new circuit, restart Tor Browser if that fails, then try another verified address. The database entry on loading problems walks through it.
Monero only. There is no Bitcoin option and no background swap, so the whole payment path runs through one coin.
Compare the onion printed on the login screen against your browser address bar. A clone can copy the design perfectly and cannot show the real address while living at its own. If they differ, close the tab.
If something is broken right now, start in the database. Entries are written around the symptom you are looking at rather than around a technical cause you would have to guess, so find the line that matches what you see and work down the fix from there. Severity is colour coded, and the only entry graded critical is the one where the answer is to close the tab immediately.
If nothing is broken and you are working out how any of this fits together, start with the guides instead. They cover a first order end to end, funding with Monero without the deposit going astray, setting up an account so a leaked password is survivable, how escrow actually protects an order, and why the market runs several addresses at once.
Either way, take an address from the block at the top of this page rather than from a search result, and run the login screen check every time. Nearly every account lost around markets like this was lost in the few minutes after a familiar address went quiet, and that is the one situation this site exists to make boring.
