OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL
// SECURE_CONNECTION_GUIDE_V3.2
Follow procedures strictly to ensure anonymity while accessing the darkmatter market.
Network Configuration (Tor)
Accessing the darkmatter onion network requires the Tor Browser (The Onion Router). This infrastructure routes traffic through three random volunteer nodes, encrypting the data at each step to prevent traffic analysis.
Configuration Requirement: Before navigating, access Tor Settings > Privacy & Security. Set the Security Level to "Safer" to disable non-essential scripts that could compromise identity. Do not maximize the browser window to prevent screen-size fingerprinting.
Endpoint Verification
Secure connection to the darkmatter market relies on cryptographic verification of the onion address. Always ensure you are accessing a verified mirror signed by the market's PGP key.
FINGERPRINT: SHA-256 VERIFIED // V3 ONION SERVICE
Connection & DDoS Mitigation
Upon entering the verified darkmatter market link, you may encounter the "Waiting Room" queue or a proof-of-work challenge (Captcha). These systems protect the infrastructure from Denial of Service attacks.
- Wait times vary based on network load (typically 10-60 seconds).
- Solve Captchas precisely. Repeated failures may result in a temporary IP ban from the guard node.
- If the site appears offline, check our status indicator or rotate to an alternative mirror from the Links page.
Identity Generation
Navigate to the registration panel. The darkmatter market system requires a unique Username, Password, and numeric Pin (for withdrawals).
MNEMONIC BACKUP: The system will generate a 12-24 word recovery phrase. You must record this physically. It is the only cryptographic method to recover a lost account or reset a PIN. Support does not have access to your keys.
OpSec Rule: Never reuse a username or password from another darknet market or clearweb service.
PGP Encryption & 2FA
Implementing PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is mandatory for high-tier account security. You should generate a 4096-bit RSA key pair using software like Kleopatra (Windows) or GPG Suite (macOS).
- Navigate to User Settings > Security.
- Paste your Public Key into the designated field.
- The market will encrypt a challenge message to your key.
- Decrypt the message, copy the verification code, and verify your account.
- Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) immediately. This ensures no login can occur without possession of your private PGP key.
Liquidity (Monero/XMR)
Darkmatter operates exclusively with Monero (XMR) due to its opaque blockchain and ring signature technology, which obfuscates sender, receiver, and amount.
To fund your wallet:
- Go to the Wallet tab in your dashboard.
- Generate a new standard or sub-address for the deposit.
- Send XMR. The network typically requires 10 verifications (approx. 20 minutes) before funds are unlocked for trading.
// NOTE: Bitcoin (BTC) is not accepted directly due to lack of fungibility.
