Amazon Dark is now live. Amazon Dark has been designed to mimic the aesthetics and functions of Amazon,
while catering to a slightly different audience.
We are bringing a proven business model that everyone is familiar with to the deep web.
We have been watching diligently as recent events have transpired, and as we were
creating Amazon Dark from the ground up, we have made some key changes to adapt to
the ever changing world of DNM's. Unfortunately, it seems there are two routes that a market can take.
Those routes include getting busted by LE, or performing an exit scam. The latter has become much
more prominent over the last year.
We are taking an alternate approach, and would like to prove that a market can be born, flourish, and fade
away peacefully, which is very rarely done on a large scale. What we mean is that we are open about our
intentions from day one. Amazon Dark will be operating for 12 months from today, this is to prevent us
from getting to the point where we are pushed down one of the aforementioned routes.
Below is a list of items not permitted on our marketplace, everything else is fair game.
This is so you can decide for yourself if Amazon Dark would be a fit for you.
Items Not Permitted
Child Pornography
Firearms & Explosives
Murder For Hire
Human Trafficking Services
Poisons
Carding/Fraud Related Listings

EDIT: It has been a little over twelve hours since we announced Amazon Dark, there have been a lot of feedback, requests and suggestions. After hearing from the community, there are a few key points that stood out to us.
Our restrictions on carding, fraud related listings, and weapons. There are several reasons for these restrictions, but the most pertinent one would be to avoid the additional attention from LE.
Regarding automatic PGP encryption, it is better to provide automatic protection for lazy users instead of ignoring them and providing no protection at all. We encourage everyone who uses our market to encrypt your own sensitive information. Automatic PGP encryption is a feature of the market that is not on by default for communications, you and the person you are communicating with need to have it enabled. We recommend using the automatic PGP encryption for non-sensitive information.
There have been a few requests to make the market only allow Multi-sig escrow. In our next update, we will be implementing an option for vendors to set a Multi-sig Escrow Threshold for all of their listings, whereas all of the vendors listings at or above the set threshold, will be restricted to Multi-sig Escrow only. Vendors will also have the option to set individual listings for Multi-sig Escrow only. Listings that use these options will be easily distinguishable from normal listings.
Regarding the Slowloris attack, we have tested our server against it using the same method and the requests are dropped. This gives the impression that the market is down, while remaining available to all of our users.
