Alphabay New Features: Mnemonic, Buy Protection, Search by ship time, Auto-refund for banned vendors
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
First of all, thanks to everyone for making Alphabay the main market in the Darknet. We
won't disappoint, and we are announcing new features, in order to further improve your
experience.
1) Password mnemonic
Every user, when logging in right after the update, will receive a one-time mnemonic that
will be used in case they lose their password. If you lose your password, you will need to
contact a moderator with your mnemonic. Since it is only shown once and isn't written
anywhere, having the mnemonic proves that you are the account owner, even if you get
phished. But please, stop getting phished.
2) Buy protection
Sellers (and buyers who will be away for a while) can go in their Profile page and deactivate
listing purchasing. This will make the account unable to purchase listings until the user
reactivates it using his PIN. If a vendor gets phished, this can be useful to make sure his
account won't get drained. We recommend that sellers enable this option.
3) Search by average ship time
You can now search listings using this criteria. This means the average between the time where the
order is received, and when the order is shipped. This can help buyers screen out slow vendors and
make sure to receive their stuff even faster.
4) Auto-refunding of banned vendors
Orders who are from banned vendors and disputed will now be automatically refunded after 6 days.
The moderator usually does it faster, but if the moderator is missing, your funds are safe. Why 6
days? Because some bans might be a mistake and we always give a few days to make sure that
the ban was warranted.
Other changes:
- - Users who get locked after 5 PIN attempts will now receive a message, rather than just being sent
to the profile page. This was causing some confusion.
- - Affiliates who have thousands of referrals couldn't open the page correctly, we now solved the
problem. (you will recognize yourself)
- - Since there was no official data regarding the ban date (except moderator notes), all dates were
set as today, so auto-refunds will start in 6 days.
Be careful! Many phishing links ask for PIN. You will never be asked for PIN on a real login page. Avoid
the hidden wiki like the pest, they are showing phishing links.
