With The original Silk road getting shut down drug users and sellers have been scrambling to start the next major underground marketplace.


First off, people tried to restart Silk Road with version 2.0 But after plenty of hacks, DDOS attacks, and finally a hacker stealing approximately 2.7 million in Bitcoins from there escrow service they started to fall apart fast.
They are still running but there littered with Scammers and they decided to remove there escrow service to prevent the the same theft from happening again. They are semi safe if you buy from users with a good reputation and They say they have paid back around 40% of what people lost so far and are going to continue until its all repaid.

The other service that is currently the most stable I've seen is the Agora Market place.
They are currently using a escrow service and require vendors to put down a 0.6 btc safety deposit before they sell anything along with checking the sellers track record on other Dark Net  markets to see if they are reliable.
Currently they only allow new users to sign up/register using a referral link from another member so every member can make a percent of the profit from the site.
if you refer to another vendor and he registers with your link, you are going to receive 20% of fees they collect from that vendor for every order he makes, with no time restrictions. For the normal users that someone refers to the service, they are going to receive 10% of the fee's they collect from EVERY order placed with ANY other vendor. This is partly the reason it might pay up to register early or be good at getting referrals.
Even if you don't want to use the site or do illegal activity, this is a very lucrative business so getting referral will make you a TON! of money in Btc then you can simply move your Bitcoins to a different site with everything basically on autopilot!

Being referred does not imply any losses for the referred users or vendors. Your share is coming from there own fees which would be collected anyways.
They say, they Basically want the users to make money as well as they do, thus creating a plethora of user who are actually interested in making the service the best it can be, by providing feedback and wanting the service to succeed.

The standard fee taken on each order (and from which the referral percentages are calculated) is 4%.

To make sure referrals are more inclined to use the link, they have currently disabled non-referral registrations and who knows how long registration will be open so  get on it if its your thing!.

To sign up you must use a free registration link:

If you know of anymore black markets currently running stable, please post and I will update the poll.
Enjoy!

It'll be SR 2.0. None of the other market places have got the needed variety. Agreed that it is a bit risky... but if you have good contacts with the vendor, it doesn't matter.

SR2 is terrible now. If a newb goes there to buy they're likely to get scammed and no refund. They need to sort their shit out. Even the trusted vendors are scamming now and SR doesn't do anything about it.

Which cryptos do they pay with now? bitcoin? any alt coins?

Silk Road has always been Bitcoin. Think Sheep or maybe Atlantis had Litecoin when they were up, and then there's Dogeroad if anything ever came of that  :D.
