GUIDES & TUTORIALS

Welcome to our tutorial library. Each guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for specific tasks. Whether you're registering for the first time or setting up advanced security features, you'll find clear explanations here. We've designed these resources for users of all experience levels.

These tutorials assume no prior darknet experience. We start from basics and build up to advanced topics. Screenshots and examples illustrate key steps throughout each guide. Common mistakes are highlighted so you can avoid them. If you've never used Tor, never generated a PGP key, or never purchased cryptocurrency, don't worry. Our beginner guides walk you through every step with the assumption that this is completely new territory.

Security isn't optional in this space. It's the foundation of everything we do. Every guide emphasizes best practices alongside functional instructions. Following these recommendations protects your privacy and funds. Skipping security steps to save time often leads to problems later. We've seen too many users lose accounts or funds because they rushed through setup. Take your time. Do it right the first time.

Guides are updated regularly as the platform evolves. When features change, we revise documentation to match. Check back after major updates for revised instructions. The date at the bottom of each page shows when it was last reviewed. If you notice something outdated, we're probably already working on an update.

Our approach prioritizes practical knowledge over theory. You won't find lengthy explanations of cryptographic algorithms or network protocols here. Instead, we focus on what you need to do and how to do it correctly. Technical details are included only when they help you understand why certain steps matter.

This tutorial library serves several different audiences. Understanding which category fits you helps identify where to start.

Complete Beginners

Never used a darknet marketplace before? Never set up PGP encryption? Don't know what Monero is? You're in the right place. Start with the Tor Browser Configuration guide, then work through Registration and PGP Setup. Take your time. There's no rush. Better to spend an extra hour learning properly than to make mistakes that compromise your security later.

Experienced Users New to This Platform

If you've used other marketplaces, many concepts will be familiar. However, every platform has its own procedures and interface quirks. Skim the guides to identify differences. Pay particular attention to the escrow system and dispute resolution process, as these vary significantly between platforms.

Returning Users After a Break

Took some time away? Things change. Security recommendations evolve. Platform features update. Review the guides for changes since your last activity. At minimum, check the Security Reminders section and verify your PGP key is still strong enough for current standards.

Aspiring Vendors

Planning to sell? You'll need everything buyers need, plus additional knowledge. Complete all buyer-focused guides first, then study the Vendor Guide thoroughly. Vendor accounts have higher security requirements and greater complexity. Mistakes as a vendor have more serious consequences than mistakes as a buyer.

New to darknet marketplaces? Follow this sequence for the smoothest learning experience. Each guide builds on concepts from earlier ones. Jumping ahead often creates confusion because guides reference knowledge from previous tutorials.

Phase 1: Preparation

Before you even think about creating an account, you need your tools ready. This preparation phase ensures you have secure access and communication capabilities.

1. Tor Browser Configuration - Set up your access method correctly before anything else. Without proper Tor setup, nothing else matters.
2. PGP Encryption Setup - Generate keys before registration since you'll need them for the signup process. Your public key is required during account creation.

Phase 2: Account Setup

With preparation complete, you're ready to create and secure your account. Don't skip the 2FA step. Accounts without two-factor authentication are vulnerable.

3. Registration Guide - Create your account with security best practices. Take your time choosing a username and creating a strong password.
4. Two-Factor Authentication - Enable 2FA immediately after registration. Do this before depositing any funds. Not negotiable.

Phase 3: Using the Platform

Now you're ready to actually use the marketplace. Understanding the payment system and protection mechanisms comes first. Then you're prepared for your initial transaction.

5. Monero Guide - Set up cryptocurrency for payments. Learn how to acquire and transfer XMR safely.
6. Escrow System Guide - Understand transaction protection before ordering. Know your rights and responsibilities.
7. First Purchase Guide - Make your first order safely with all the necessary knowledge in place.

Phase 4: Advanced Topics

These guides are for specific situations. Most users won't need the vendor guide, but it's here when you're ready.

8. Vendor Guide - Only if you plan to sell. Requires significant additional preparation beyond buyer basics.

Each guide builds on knowledge from previous ones. Skipping ahead often creates confusion. Take time to understand each topic before moving on. There's no prize for speed. The prize is doing things correctly and staying safe.

Our guides cover everything from absolute basics to advanced techniques. Here's an overview of the skills you'll develop through this tutorial library.

Technical Skills

You'll learn to configure Tor Browser for maximum anonymity while maintaining usability. PGP encryption becomes second nature after following our guide. Wallet management, address verification, and transaction confirmation all become routine. These technical skills form the foundation of safe marketplace use.

Security Awareness

Beyond technical skills, you develop security intuition. Recognizing phishing attempts. Identifying suspicious behavior. Understanding when something feels wrong. This awareness protects you even in situations not covered by any guide. You learn to think like an adversary, which helps you defend against threats.

Platform Navigation

Marketplace interfaces can be confusing for newcomers. Our guides explain where to find what you need, how to filter search results effectively, and how to interpret vendor statistics. You'll navigate with confidence rather than confusion.

Transaction Management

From depositing funds to finalizing orders, you'll understand every step of the transaction lifecycle. More importantly, you'll know what to do when things go wrong. Disputes, refunds, and complications are covered alongside normal procedures.

Operational Security

Good OPSEC habits protect your privacy and safety. Our guides teach practices that become automatic over time. Eventually you won't even think about these steps because they're ingrained in how you operate.

How long do these guides take to complete?

Reading times are estimates for the guide itself. Actual implementation takes longer. Allow double the reading time for completing tasks, more if you're troubleshooting issues. For example, the PGP setup guide takes 15 minutes to read but expect 30-45 minutes to actually generate keys and verify everything works correctly.

Do I need technical experience?

No prior technical experience required. Guides explain concepts from basics. If you can follow instructions and use a web browser, you can complete these tutorials. We don't assume you know what PGP stands for or how cryptocurrency works. Everything is explained as we go.

What if something doesn't work?

Each guide includes troubleshooting sections for common problems. If your issue isn't covered, check our FAQ. Most problems have simple solutions once identified. The most common issues are typos, incorrect settings, and missing steps. Go back through the guide carefully before assuming something is broken.

Are guides kept updated?

Yes. When the platform changes, guides are revised to match. Check the "last updated" date on each page. If you notice outdated information, we're probably already working on an update. We aim to revise guides within a week of any significant platform change.

Can I suggest improvements?

Feedback helps everyone. If instructions are unclear or missing steps, that information helps improve guides for future readers. Community contributions make tutorials better. We can't respond to every suggestion, but we read them all and incorporate valid improvements.

Why are some guides longer than others?

Complexity varies. Some topics need more explanation. The vendor guide is our longest because selling involves more considerations than buying. Simple topics get concise treatment. We don't pad content for the sake of length. Every section exists because it contains necessary information.

Before using any guide, remember these fundamental security principles. These apply regardless of what specific task you're performing. Violating any of these creates risk.

• Always use Tor Browser - Never access darknet sites through regular browsers. Not Chrome. Not Firefox. Not even Brave. Only Tor Browser.
• Verify links through PGP - Phishing sites are common. Always verify onion addresses. Bookmarks can be compromised. PGP-signed link lists cannot be faked.
• Encrypt sensitive data - Addresses and personal information must be PGP encrypted. Never send addresses in plaintext. Ever.
• Use unique credentials - Never reuse passwords or usernames from other sites. Create unique combinations for each marketplace.
• Enable 2FA immediately - Protect your account from the start. Don't deposit funds until 2FA is active.
• Prefer Monero over Bitcoin - Privacy coins provide better protection. Bitcoin is traceable even with mixing.
• Keep software updated - Old versions may have security vulnerabilities. Update Tor Browser when prompted.
• Practice OPSEC consistently - Good habits prevent mistakes. Don't get lazy just because nothing bad has happened.

Security isn't a one-time setup. It's an ongoing practice. Every session, every transaction, every communication requires attention to these principles. The moment you get complacent is the moment you become vulnerable. Stay alert. Stay safe.

Stuck on something? Here's how to find answers.

Check the FAQ First
