What is Cryptomarketplace.live?
Cryptomarketplace.live is an underground online black marketplace launched in 2021 that allows vendors to sell illicit goods ranging from stolen data, exploits, counterfeit items, fraud services, and drugs using cryptocurrencies as payment. It is part of the dark web, accessed through Tor browser, which hides users' IP addresses and locations.
The marketplace implements security measures like end-to-end encryption, bitcoin tumbling, and no registration requirements to offer anonymity to its users. Buyers need to purchase credits using bitcoin to transact on the site. Listings include categories like drugs, services, guides & tutorials, counterfeits, jewelry & gold, and digital goods.
While the site claims to forbid explicitly dangerous and unethical products like murder/assassinations, weapons, poison, child pornography, and Fentanyl, monitoring and enforcement of such guidelines seems questionable. Users participate at their own risk as there are scams and questionable quality control of products sold through anonymous black marketplaces.
Law enforcement keeps a close watch on sites like Cryptomarketplace to potentially track down illegal trafficking activities. However, its server locations, administrations, and user details remain obscured to maintain operations. The legal risks and ethical concerns around purchasing drugs and restricted goods through dark web marketplaces should be evaluated before accessing them.
