The Monero-only market. One coin by design, several onions kept warm, escrow with moderated disputes.
BlackOps opened in 2024 and made one decision that defines it: Monero only. There is no Bitcoin option and no swap running behind the scenes. You fund with XMR and you spend XMR, which suits the buyers who came to Tor for the privacy in the first place. The market keeps several onion addresses warm at once, so a flood on one moves traffic to another without a change on the buyer side.
Its phishing defence is layered. The login captcha renders the market's own onion address into the image, so you can compare what you typed against what the server printed, and the mirror list is signed so you can verify an address came from the operator. For the full verified address list and a step-by-step access guide, see the dedicated BlackOps URL site.

BlackOps Market has no clearnet address. It is a Tor market reached through one of its verified onion mirrors, all resolving to the same market. Copy a current address, open it in Tor Browser, and verify it against the login captcha before entering a password.
BlackOps Market publishes 3 verified onion mirrors, each resolving to the same market with the same account and balance. When one is slow or flooded, you switch to another.
BlackOps Market accepts XMR. Monero is the private default because it keeps the payment off a readable public ledger. The deposit address is fresh per order.
No. BlackOps Market is a Tor hidden service reachable only through Tor Browser. Any clearnet page claiming to be BlackOps Market is a phishing operation.
