all right.
in this video, we're going to explore some popular darknet marketplaces that are currently out there.
now we're not going to give direct names in this video because these marketplaces are always moving, changing around new ones come up, old ones go down, some exit gracefully.
some of them take everybody's money and run away.
so we won't give a direct link, but i will give you a resource that i find very interesting.
well, two resources.
in fact, the 1st one is dont.
link.
now you can find this on tour or on the clarinet as well.
dont.
link is a good resource because it has some of the most popular websites on the dark web.
and you'll especially find things like marketplaces on here like elysium archetype, abacus, drug hub, and you can expand these selections to find some of the links available, or you can click on it and you can see some of the links available.
now you'll notice some are hidden here.
that's because you will need to actually unlock it either by doing a captcha or premium ones which are only accessible when you have an actual dread account.
and you're using it and it's kind of validated that you aren't a bot.
the point of this is because bots, bots will often ddos these sites, right?
competitor markets will ddos other markets so that they become more popular.
it is a competitive field.
so this is why they have these sorts of links that are hidden.
they're mirrors that you could access if you actually set up an account, start using it, get in good standing with dread, and you can link it with your daunt account.
but this site will give general information.
it doesn't give like a direct reviews or anything like that.
which is why i would recommend my site onion link hub as well because we do allow people to review, although how trustworthy are those reviews?
it's kind of up in the air, but at least it's something.
but most sites won't be posted on there.
and especially the mirrors won't be posted very often at this point, maybe one day onion couple will be like that, but for now it is not.
so when you're looking for popular markets, check out daunt.
it's gonna have the ones that are more trusted, more usable.
it's tough to get like a for sure top five list because this is always moving around.
but for now, definitely abacus, which is the one we'll be using throughout this course is one of the more popular ones.
so any of the videos working with a market, we'll be using abacus for an example, although by the time you're watching this abacus might be long gone.
so be sure to check out this for the latest info and the latest links.
