Onion Address

⚠️ Address rotates to evade DDoS and phishing clones. Find the current PGP-signed address on the market’s official Dread subdread.

How to Verify the Current Address

  1. Open Dread and navigate to this market’s official subdread
  2. Look for an administrator post with a PGP-signed address update
  3. Verify the PGP signature against the market’s known public key
  4. Cross-check with a second trusted directory before depositing funds

Market Notes

When evaluating vendors on Ares, distinguish between three types: migrated vendors with documented histories elsewhere (most trustworthy), cross-listed vendors operating on multiple active markets simultaneously (verifiable through other platform reviews) and new vendors with no prior history (require minimum viable test orders only).

Safety Checklist

✅ Verify PGP-signed address before every session
✅ Select multisig escrow — never standard escrow
✅ Encrypt shipping address with vendor PGP key
✅ Enable 2FA immediately on account creation
✅ Use Monero rather than Bitcoin
✅ Withdraw wallet balance immediately after each transaction
❌ Never finalize early (FE) without extensive vendor history
❌ Never reuse shipping addresses
❌ Never leave funds in the market wallet between sessions
