Common questions about Drughub Darknet marketplace operations and security.
Current Status: OPERATIONAL | Encryption: PGP REQUIRED
Safety is an illusion. There is only risk management. Given vulnerabilities of January 2025, risk profile has increased. However, walletless escrow system minimizes risk of fund seizure. No marketplace can guarantee safety—users must conduct personal risk assessment and implement robust operational security.
We do not compromise. Bitcoin transactions are traceable. Monero (XMR) uses stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT technology to provide true financial privacy. It is the only acceptable standard for private commerce on Drughub Darknet.
You will decrypt a PGP message. Registration requires your PGP public key. The marketplace encrypts a challenge to your key. You decrypt this message using your private key to prove ownership. If you cannot perform this task, you are not ready to conduct business on Drughub Darknet.
Funds are never held in marketplace-controlled wallets. They are cryptographically locked per-transaction through smart contract mechanisms. Even if Drughub Market were seized, no centralized funds exist to confiscate. Escrow periods range from 7-21 days depending on product category.
END GAME is a proprietary DDoS mitigation system developed by founder mr_white. During major attacks in 2024, Drughub Darknet maintained 92% uptime. The system uses military-grade filtering, CAPTCHA challenges, and distributed infrastructure to protect the Drughub Link.
Vendors must post bonds ranging from $250 to $2,000 depending on desired listing limits. Higher tiers grant increased visibility and unlimited listings. Bonds are refundable upon successful exit from the marketplace. This ensures only committed sellers participate.
Drughub Market charges 5% commission on all transactions. This is paid by the buyer, not the seller. This structure reduces seller overhead and may result in lower product prices. No withdrawal fees beyond Monero network fees.
Monero transactions typically require 10-15 confirmations before funds are available. This usually takes 20-30 minutes. If your deposit does not appear after 24 hours, verify the transaction address on a Monero blockchain explorer and contact support through PGP-encrypted channels.
No. The Drughub Link is a v3 .onion address accessible only through the Tor network. Standard browsers cannot connect to .onion addresses. Use Tor Browser within an isolated environment (Tails OS or Whonix) for secure access.
You will lose access to your account. Your PGP key is your identity on Drughub Darknet. There is no password recovery mechanism. Maintain multiple secure backups of your private key. Memorize your passphrase and never share it with anyone.
Verify the marketplace's PGP signature before proceeding. The signature is published in official announcements on trusted directories like drughub.co.uk. Compare the signature against the official public key. Do not trust unverified links found through search engines.
Disputes are resolved by PGP-verified staff mediators. Funds remain locked in escrow until resolution. Both parties present evidence through encrypted channels. The mediator reviews evidence and makes a binding decision. Escrow funds are released accordingly.
File a dispute through the marketplace interface. Provide evidence of payment and communication. The mediator will review the case. If vendor fault is established, escrow funds are returned to buyer. However, recovery is not guaranteed—always research vendors before purchasing.
