So has Alphabay been compromised or are they just having temporary bugs?

I've encountered upwards of a dozen captchas and not one of them allow me access to to the website. Is there something I'm musing something here or are they generally having issues I'm not aware of?

Bro I dont know what problem people are having with the captcha lmfaoooo.

Fucking type it. If it's right, and it reloads the DDOS page AGAIN then just fucking get rid of any site extension past ".onion" and reload the page.

BOOM you are now logging in.

You're welcome??

I can say I've never had a problem past this and can't see why nobody else uses half their brain to try this. Works every time on my end.

They are fine. Every product, even the secured and most invested one, will have bugs after the release.

You judge the market not by the issues (in some cases also by issues, when a critical security bug pops up every week, but this is not the case here) but by how they deal with issues.

You will have to make that decision for yourself. The information is all over this sub for you to make an informed choice. It is of my opinion one should not choose to trust any market that showed blatant disregard for the safety of their users by ignoring a major security breech until it was yelled through a megaphone on Reddit.

Nonetheless that is my opinion. I feel like there were a few major issues here. As many have mentioned, markets are allowed to make a mistake BUT AB chose to completely IGNORE this leak and the person attempting to warn them until it was demanded that they do something about it.

AB's captcha page is damn annoying. Lately, it hasn't been accepting correctly-typed captchas. Half the time, the last letter or two of the captcha is cut off. Even if I specifically direct to login.php and login, it'll occasionally redirect to the captcha page. I also lost $3 worth of bitcoin recently (not that big of a deal, but rage-inducing at the time) because they'll steal attempted deposits of less than .01 BTC. Their admins are dogshit at dispute resolution. Fuck AlphaBay. It's a shame Hansa and Dream aren't more popular with vendors.
