Still fairly new to using DNMs, but I've been watching them for years. After the takedown of Alphabay and Hansa, I'm hella sketched out about joining another one. How secure does a market like Trade Route seems right now? Are there any signs other markets have been compromised (aside from Dream)? If not now, how long should I wait before rejoining, and what should I be looking for?
Sign up? Pretty safe, browsing ain't illegal. Buying? Use your head, avoid known scammers, and it's still pretty safe. Act as if any market you use is compromised: as long as your OPSEC is good, you're good.
