About this database

What this is

A database of problems and fixes for BlackOps, published alongside the verified onion addresses and a set of longer guides. It is not the market. It sells nothing, takes no payment, runs no accounts and stores nothing about visitors.

How entries are written

Each one starts from a symptom, because the symptom is what you can actually see when something goes wrong. It states the likely cause, gives the fix in order, and marks what not to do, since a fair number of the worse outcomes here come from a reasonable sounding reaction rather than from the original problem.

Anything said about the market itself is limited to what BlackOps consistently publishes, which is that it has run since 2024, settles in Monero only, holds orders in 2 of 3 multisig escrow and keeps several onion addresses live. Where something cannot be checked from outside, the entry says so instead of guessing.

What is not published

• No invented incidents and no dated events that did not happen.
• No claim that any market is safe. Every market that ever failed was working normally the day before.
• No reviews written on behalf of people who did not write them.
• No promise that a fix here will work in every case, since your setup is not visible from here.

The relationship with the market

This site publishes verified BlackOps addresses, which is worth knowing when reading anything here about BlackOps. Saying it plainly is more useful than claiming a neutrality nobody could check. Everything practical in the database applies to any market of this kind, and the verification step described throughout is one you perform yourself rather than take on trust from this site or any other.

Corrections

Entries are updated when what they describe changes. If a fix stops working or a step becomes wrong, the entry is rewritten rather than left in place, because a troubleshooting database that is out of date is worse than none at all.
