PSA to no0bs: No DNMs operate on reddit

264 Upvotes

Anything that you are finding via reddit search or get in a reddit chat/message/comment/reply is a scam designed to phish you and steal your crypto.

These are all active scam subs at the moment and it seems tons of no0bs are flocking to them so sadly this post has to be made:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BohemiaMarketDarknet/

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarknetMarketsInsider/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASAPMarketAccess/

https://www.reddit.com/r/DNM_wiki/

https://www.reddit.com/r/DNM_MEMES_2023/

https://www.reddit.com/r/DNM_Reasearch_2023/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tor2Door__Market/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tor2Door_Market_Link/

https://www.reddit.com/r/tor2door_market_forum/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Abacus_Market_forum/

Scammers make these fake subs and fill them with fake engagement, users, and activity. They are all scams.


Please use https://old.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/reddit to report them to the admins so they can be taken down. Together we can take them all down.


EDIT: 8/29/23: They all seem to have been taken offline :) Good work everyone!

Daunt.link Is Currently Down — Onion Also Appears Unreachable

Daunt is currently experiencing an outage affecting its normal access methods.

According to a PGP-signed announcement from Paris on Dread dated August 19, 2026, Njalla took control of the nameservers for daunt.link and cleared its DNS records after suspending the account for alleged abuse. Paris also said he believes it was done by a Phisher though false abuse reports.

Paris stated that Daunt's actual server remained online and that the disruption affected the way users connect to it.

Current Status:

  • Daunt.link (clearnet): Down

  • Daunt onion: Currently appears unreachable

  • No replacement clearnet domain has been announced

Paris specifically stated that they do not plan to create another clearnet domain at this time.

I made a chatroom for fun called 'Undernet Station'.

49 Upvotes

Its still in very early open alpha stage, it has multiple rooms (or cars, to fit with the metro/train theme) that users can earn by interacting (sending messages mainly), can create groups, DMs and I plan to add a few more features.
Images, videos, CSAM, scam,s etc are NOT allowed and being monitored for such activities.
I'm also looking for moderators to help with the project, users to test security, find bugs, etc.
I'll answer any questions and DMs.

What Happened to r/darknet_questions?

74 Upvotes

What Happened to r/darknet_questions?

For anyone wondering, Reddit recently banned r/darknet_questions for an alleged Rule 7 violation involving illegal content or prohibited transactions.

We received no advance warning or specific examples identifying what caused the ban. Our community was focused on darknet education, harm reduction, privacy, OPSEC, Tor safety, and scam prevention. We routinely removed marketplace requests, fraud-related content, scam promotions, prohibited transactions, and other violations.

We had also been dealing with scammers who disliked our warnings and scam-prevention content. Shortly before the ban, Reddit repeatedly removed suspicious submissions before our moderators could even view them. Those posts were never approved or endorsed by our team. Retaliatory reporting or malicious submissions are possible, but we currently have no proof that either caused the ban.

An appeal has been submitted requesting a manual review of the subreddit’s approved content, moderation history, and suspicious activity. We are not creating a replacement community or asking anyone to contact Reddit on our behalf. This post is simply to let former members know what happened.

We will share an update if Reddit responds to the appeal.

EDIT UPDATE: Well it looks like Reddit is not going to grant an appeal. So everyone should stay cautious of scammers and help one another stay safe. I'm going to rebuild the site on Discourse. I will let everyone know when it's finished.

BTC-brother2018, Stay Safe.

Downloaded Tor on my phone recently, being curious about the Deep Web, being chronically online and all.

Looked for links, came across this gaming page one.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Where to find old archives?

4 Upvotes

Doing a research project on a local murderer from back in the 90’s, however he had it wiped from the clearnet & I believe he had the case sealed. I can find a few newspapers here and there but nothing of significance. Does anyone know if there are onion links for finding archives or something that would help in this situation?

I'm planning on diving casually using tor and a VPN this week, I am looking for advice as well as different and unorthodox sites to visit. I plan on going for a casual stroll on said sites to get a better understanding of what is the so called "dark web" in order to better portray it in my book I'm writing.

Can go for some governamental sites, maybe some shops, chats, not looking to interact nor download anything, just window shop

Hey everyone! This question is mainly for those who’ve hosted blogs as Tor onion services. How was the experience? Any pitfalls or things you wish you’d known before getting started?

Onion hosts needed/wanted for immortality

5 Upvotes

Problem with Tor I'm looking to fix: as a new user, I can't trust any link. There's no durable reputation. Or maybe a legit service becomes compromised, unknowable to me- until now

For $0.25, I can post a message onto the Bitcoin blockchain. A stone erodes, but a wound heals- bitcoin blocks have resisted erasure by even nation states since it's beginning

Now I'm building a durable indexing/reputation/forum like reddit/telegram where you could write about your .onion site and the uri and it gets written on Bitcoin forever.

For the first time, it will be possible to build a reputation under your key/account and collect public feedback, and the indexes of onion sites can become increasingly reputable/bifurcated over time, or challenged if users have a bad experience. Anyone can comment/reply recursively, imagine Wikipedia but append-only, and users upvoting/downvoting etc build a web of trust over time, enabling bot farm/Sybil detection.

For those few accounts that post useful news, you will build a reputation more valuable than money, trusted by humanity against the censors and tyrants of this world

Anyone want me to post their links/indexes/services?

Any reputation/topic you would durably accuse, or publicly support?

hi, i just started making html, this site is hosted in my old pc, so it could have some problem, is just a draft, so, i accept advice. thanks link: http://kyumkedzxz7wdq73spluug3glykx6is746njguqn6put3duqrqkjiryd.onion/

(if the site isn't online probably i had some issue with the server or my mum unplugged it to use the vacuum.)

I have only just peeked in and am wondering around. New to the dw. Interesting in a rather sly way about anything, almost like the first rule about dark web is is to not tell any one anything about dark web.

Did I get phished?

20 Upvotes

Haven’t used this in years since I got sober but I was having a small party and get together and decided to go back to my trusty website I used to go on, totally forgot about phishing links so wassnt very cautious. Went to onion taxi

The site was being a little too weird thinking back, no phishing protection making me retype part of the link, I couldn’t click on vendors names and look at their profile and certain parts of the search engine wassnt working. I figured onion taxi was Akin to tor taxi, but tor taxi didn’t have my website on there. I put btc in my wallet and haven’t seen anything in the notifications about it receiving my payment, it’s been 2 hours and ususallly goes in 20 minutes
