Are there any markets that are actually safe to order from now?

It seems like everyday there is another post on a market being a honeypot or taken down. Are there any markets that are confirmed as not being fucked with by le currently?

taking all the other risks into account, agora and evo are 'safe'. just make sure you only ever use pgp to communicate with any vendors and tumble your coins real good and you'll be fine.

You are never 'safe'.

You just won't know until its too late. Use PGP and you'll have some protection. Use well reviewed vendors. Don't be the low hanging fruit. Vendors probably have the most to worry about and in a sense are more exposed than buyers. LE targets them but as a buyer, you don't want to be collateral damage b/c where there is a case, esp an easy one, they will make it.

Assume nothing is "safe" and definitely know that at some point something will happen to the market - seizure, exit scam, or very rarely, a graceful exit. Assume you are in the lion's den and tread carefully. This is just my opinion, but I think your bigger risks as a buyer aren't really related to the market itself. Its the stealth of the package as well as whether or not the vendor is being watched IRL. IMO a compromised vendor can do far more damage than a compromised market from a buyer's perspective. Do research, more research, and more research. Follow good practices. Its all about risk minimization as we won't be able to eliminate 100% of the risk, ever.
