Like we haven't heard enough fud about Monero for the past weeks...
Staff members at Alphabay and Oasis say that customers and vendors have simply demanded the Monero option.
Or they just implemented it to get rich from the price rise.
They can say anything they want, but I have never seen a user asking for Monero.
The site operators also claim CoinJoin is not enough to maintain transaction unlinkability in Bitcoin
CoinJoin is a direct competitor of Sigiant and will eventually put them out of business. Of-course Sigiant will make these claims.
contributor Luke-Jr seemed sympathetic.
Yes Luke-Jr. xD
but it's not the first time a darknet market has accepted an alternative, privacy-conscious digital currency. Two small markets accepted Dash (then called Darkcoin) in late 2014, but the altcoin was not able to gain any traction on the dark web. Time will tell if things will go differently for Monero.
Monero will have the same faith as Dash and Litecoin.
Bitcoin works perfectly and is much more stable than those altcoins.

The Monero troll army are strong in numbers...
I've thought about removing these obvious pump posts but this will be a valuable learning tool for a lot of people that aren't versed in this type of thing. There's a reason people are all of a sudden hyping this. They are either holders from before this happened or opportunists that bought in when news about oasis and AB broke with them accepting it.
With the pump of any altcoin there will be a dump. Only the first dumpers will profit. Price will level out at below what most people bought at. They will have to sell for a loss or stay in for the long haul with their money tied up trying to prevent a loss.
Visit the poloniex troll box and watch how people don't care about the value of the altcoin except to gain a little profit. Not many long holders in altcoins.
Notice the spike here? Don't buy on the rise.
