How reliable is Pandora?

I haven't dealt with the darknet markets since March so I'm a little behind on the intel. I know Pandora got hacked or whatever but did it recover well? I just need to know if it's still worth buying from. Like is PureFireMeds still repping awesome deals? Thanks.

Agora and SR2 seem to be the two most popular and reliable (well, this is an area of contention as far as SR2 is concerned operating without escrow and the recent "hack" though it seems over half the money has been paid back by now). From what I've read here Pandora is not a trustworthy marketplace. TorEscrow just went belly up and there are a lot of Multi-sig escrow markets that have popped up that I have not personally tried but they look pretty interesting. I also like the concept behind this prototype DarkMarket thing.

I would avoid Pandora fir sure unless there is some vendor that you really want to use that isn;t on other sites like FrankMatthews.

I was big on Pandora but left after it got hacked. Nothing happened to me though but I wouldn't go back anymore. Agora is def my favorite right now

BudCentral and I still use it. Its up more often than Agora, and the selection is great as a buyer. BUT, as far as I'm aware, if you decide not to purchase anything, there is a 4-8% fee to withdraw your bitcoins.

Pandora is up and running and works ok. (IMO the choice of vendor is more important than the choice of market.)

I wouldn't use pandora. I wouldn't use PFM. I'd go use agora, I dunno if its still down or whatever.

DO A FUCKING SEARCH.

Pandora is 100% reliable. 100% reliably a scam.

And every other day there is a post saying PFM is a scammer.

There's a search box on the right, on reddit. Use it. Or on the Hub. Or on the respective market's forums or subreddits. Do a search, anywhere, doesn't matter where, just do at least one.

I know Pandora got hacked or whatever but did it recover well?

Yes, 'hacked'. Does it matter if it recovered? You're a fucking idiot if you'd use a 'hacked' market again.

Seriously, if I stole a bunch of money from you, and then we stop talking for a year, is there anything I could say to make you buy from me again?

If the answer is yes, you're an idiot.

As for where to buy from, Agora is the most popular (and therefore most widely trusted and most accessible), but TMP and Evolution are highly recomended around here too (TMP's 'multi-sig' basically means the market can't exit scam you like sheep and almost every market has done, and Evolution has very low fees so it's almost always cheaper than anywhere else, as long as the vendor/product you want is there). I'd recommend you always check out at least 2 markets for a product or vendor, they are going to be cheaper at one place over another. I use Agora and Evolution, but many of the other markets are just fine.
