Haven't Paid Attention to Things Since AlphaBay was King, What's the Current State of the Union?

The titled kinda sums things up. I've been interested in this venture called Dark Markets, and have been following the saga since before Ulbrict's incarceration. That being said, I dropped off and didn't do any kind of research for much of this year. Basically, the last I remember, Alpha Bay was the go to market. Has much else changed? Any care to give a quick rundown of the market's they're familiar with now?

Honestly I recommend coming back in about a week or two when shit settles down. Today is not a good day to be jumping back in

Alphabay and Hansa taken down by LE in July.

Dream a shit show, top vendors seem to be getting locked out of their accounts and BTC moving out of lots of users wallets to never be returned.

Trade route new top market of 2017 but gone down in the last 48 hours.

Many people seem to be doing direct deals via Wickr with trusted vendors.

So yeah... bad year for the DNMs

Yeah, you picked a bad time to start paying attention. Bartard millennials are out in full force right now.

Right now it's a complete shitshow. Most markets are down, speculation right now is a bug in the tor network. I'd say wait a bit for shit to start popping up again.
