Let me start with this: this is all purely coincidental evidence. Take this as humor. Or as an omen. Or as fud. Idgaf.
Ok, so lets go back to the beginning of the year. I had just learned about dnms, and was amazed it all worked. I put in my weeks of research, learned tails, pgp, bitcoin, and opsec. Researched markets and vendors. Once I had a firm grasp of it all, I decided to place an order. I bought $100 of bitcoins, and went shopping on evo. Everything was great, got my pgp right, put my money in escrow, and was ready to get some drugs. The next day, people said they couldnt withdraw. Everyone cried fud, till the weekend was over, and we all know what happened. I received half my orders, and chalked it up as a lesson learned.
A month or so goes by, and I decide to order again. Black bank looked good, and wasnt as slow as agora. Make my order, use multisig, get my drugs. What wonderful times we live in. A few weeks later I place a second order, and within a week of that, blackbank went dark.
Ok, no problem, lost my $10 I left there. I followed my vendor and goto agora. By now it has sped up considerably, and it the clear leader of the dnm world. I place my order, get my drugs, then imagine this: about a week later they say they are closing shop. By now this is getting old, I place an order and the market closes.
I wait another month or so, and again follow a vendor. This time I end up on Mem. Now, in the past I hated seeing both of my DOCs in my order history. So I get smart, and order from abraxas at the same time I order from MEM. You see where this is going right?
The last market I ordered from was alphabay. They have about a week left in my experiance.
TL;DR everytime I order the market closes.
