Is it safe to sign up for a new DNM, or should we wait?

Still fairly new to using DNMs, but I've been watching them for years. After the takedown of Alphabay and Hansa, I'm hella sketched out about joining another one. How secure does a market like Trade Route seems right now? Are there any signs other markets have been compromised (aside from Dream)? If not now, how long should I wait before rejoining, and what should I be looking for?

Sign up? Pretty safe, browsing ain't illegal. Buying? Use your head, avoid known scammers, and it's still pretty safe. Act as if any market you use is compromised: as long as your OPSEC is good, you're good.

Wait for all the amateurs to sign up for the honey pots and get busted, the markets that remain after that you can consider to be pretty safe for the time being. As a rule of thumb, no market is ever 100% safe. People swore Alphabay would last forever due to some speculation it was based in Russia (Russians will never cooperate with US LE) and next week it went up in flames.

this is what fuck ass 12 was wanting when they took down those markets. in all honesty it's so simple. markets will never be 100% safe, we will never know if one is compromised until some shit goes down, and they will never be able to hold it down like we hold it down they will never win this war on drugs they will never have the lid completely on the DNM scene for the sole fact that we're the ones in power they're the ones trying to come in from the outside. paranoia is something we don't need when dealing with what we're dealing with. we all knew wtf we were getting into when coming here. if any jake ass nigga is reading this all i wanna say is BFFB and HOL MA DICKK we good out here
