My bitcoin stolen on Nucleus?

Hello friends. First let me say that darknetmarkets on reddit has been a wonderful source for information on this strange world.

Intrigued by this world, I decided to risk some bitcoin by depositing approximately 1 BTC on the nucleus market. I left the money there over the weekend then checked on my balance today.

Today there is approximately $2 USD left in my balance. Someone has stolen approximately $230 USD over the weekend. My instinct is that it is the nucleus admins, in part because I cannot log into my account anymore (says username or password is wrong).

I have accepted the risk in dealing with this world, so I have made peace with the fact that I was ripped off hundreds of dollars on my first foray into this world.

I put this out as a cautionary tale for those interested in Nucleus. Anyone have any similar experiences, tips, advice, criticisms, or tongue lashings? I'm all ears.

Is your name elmore FUD? If you can't login how do you know your account has no balance? Get your story straight, we maybe drug addicts but we are pretty good around lies.

First lesson learned. Don't put money into a market if you are not going to use it right away.

Did you 2fa, if not it's a good lesson to do that. Regardless, I'm sorry about your coins.

You must have clicked on a phishing link.

  1. What OS are you using?
  2. Where did you get the URL for Nucleus?
  3. Did you check the URL against other sources?
  4. Did you click any links while logged into Nucleus?

You can't have "intense concern for potential customers' security" without understanding PGP, which forms the basis of security. Not sure if I buy your story, but let me assure you if you are not lying that this is atypical. Stick to Agora. Been in the game years and have never been fucked 1 time. Not once, and I started ordering as a kid, for fuck's sake.

Several notes to keep in mind if you are considering continuing to 'dabble' and explore.

  1. Never leave your hard earned cash in a market wallet.
  2. Only transfer an amount to a DNM wallet that will cover the purchase +5dollars to cover transaction fees. Keep in mind only select vendors include shipping in the cost of product. Depending how fast you want it, expect to pay 20-30+ dollars for any type of expedited shipping.

The following is speculation: As I am a frequent lurker on this forum, I have noticed a recent claim from a hacker stating black bank was hacked, calling several users to confirm he in fact has access to their passwords. If this is the case, and you had made an account for browsing purposes it is quite possible this fud is indeed fact and the hackers are now going through these passwords and making withdraws. Or you could just blame nucleus.

If you can't log in how would you ever know your account balance?
