As of 5:08 AM UTC (and likely earlier), the former Black Market Reloaded website at http://r6rcmz6lga4i5vb4.onion has been reduced to the text:
As announced, this site is now closed.
Backopy had intended to wind down the "old" BMR while pruning accounts over time, with the site completely ceasing to operate on 23 December. The shutdown time given was midnight UTC if I recall...so it probably happened a few hours prior.
This is probably insignificant to many users here by this point, as I would guess most transactions have been completed and finalized by now. Still, some users probably do have a remaining balance or a transaction in escrow limbo on BMR so a handful of people might be affected.
I can't wait for BMR v5, it seems backopy is the only one worthy of any sort of trust on these markets.
