Security First: Read this entire guide before beginning. Rushing through setup increases risk of security mistakes. Proper configuration takes time but protects you from phishing, identity exposure, and fund loss.

Prerequisites and Requirements

Before accessing BlackOps Market, ensure you have the following prepared:

Required Items Checklist

  • Computer with internet connection (dedicated device recommended)
  • Tor Browser (version 13.0 or newer)
  • GnuPG or Kleopatra for PGP encryption
  • Offline authenticator app (Aegis, andOTP, or KeePassXC)
  • Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency
  • Secure password manager
  • Encrypted storage for backups

Recommended Security Setup

Component Minimum Recommended
Operating System Any with Tor Browser Tails OS from USB

PGP Key Size 4096-bit RSA 4096-bit RSA with subkeys

BlackOps Market Access - Tor Browser Setup

1

Tor Browser Installation and Configuration

Tor Browser is required to access BlackOps Market. Download only from the official source to avoid compromised versions.

Download and Install

  1. Visit torproject.org (the only legitimate source)
  2. Download Tor Browser for your operating system
  3. Verify the download signature (optional but recommended)
  4. Install or extract to your preferred location
  5. Launch Tor Browser

Security Configuration

  1. Click the shield icon in the toolbar
  2. Select "Settings..."
  3. Navigate to Privacy & Security
  4. Set Security Level to "Safest"
  5. This disables JavaScript automatically
Critical: Never download Tor Browser from any source other than torproject.org. Unofficial downloads may contain malware designed to steal your credentials or identify you.

Connection Verification

After connecting, verify Tor is working correctly:

  • Visit check.torproject.org to confirm Tor routing
  • Verify circuit shows three relay nodes (click padlock icon)
  • Ensure no WebRTC leaks (disabled in Safest mode)

BlackOps Market Account Creation Guide

Creating Your BlackOps Account

After accessing a verified BlackOps mirror, create your BlackOps Market account with strong security practices.

Registration Process

  1. Anti-Phishing CAPTCHA: Complete the visual verification challenge
  2. Username Selection: Choose a unique name not used elsewhere. Never reuse usernames from other platforms.
  3. Password Creation: Generate a strong password (16+ characters, mixed types). Use a password manager.
  4. PIN Configuration: Set a numeric PIN for sensitive operations
  5. Security Questions: Choose questions with answers only you know. Don't use real personal information.

Account Security Best Practices

Element Bad Practice Good Practice
Username Same as Reddit/Discord Unique, never used before
Password "Password123!" 32+ random characters from manager
Security Q Real mother's maiden name Random answer stored in manager
Password Manager Tip: Use KeePassXC or Bitwarden for secure password storage. Generate random passwords and store them encrypted. Never write credentials in plain text files.

BlackOps Market PGP and Security Setup

4

PGP Encryption Configuration

PGP encryption is mandatory on BlackOps Market. You cannot complete registration without configuring a valid 4096-bit keypair.

Generate Your PGP Keypair

# Generate new keypair gpg --full-generate-key # Select these options: # - Key type: (1) RSA and RSA # - Key size: 4096 # - Expiration: 1y (can extend later) # - Real name: Your BlackOps username # - Email: Leave blank or use anonymous # - Passphrase: Strong, unique (memorize this!)

Export Your Public Key

# Export public key to file gpg --armor --export "Your Username" > public_key.asc # View key for copying cat public_key.asc

Upload to BlackOps

  1. Navigate to Account Settings > Security > PGP Key
  2. Copy entire public key block (including headers)
  3. Paste into the PGP public key field
  4. Save changes
  5. Test by encrypting a message to yourself
Private Key Security: Your private key must NEVER be shared, uploaded, or entered anywhere. If any site asks for your private key, it is a phishing attempt. Only your PUBLIC key goes on BlackOps.

Backup Your Keys

# Export private key (store securely offline!) gpg --armor --export-secret-keys "Your Username" > private_key.asc # Store in encrypted container on offline USB
5

Two-Factor Authentication Setup

BlackOps requires dual 2FA: TOTP (time-based codes) and PGP verification. Both must be configured.

TOTP Configuration

  1. Install an offline authenticator app:
    • Android: Aegis Authenticator or andOTP
    • iOS: Tofu Authenticator
    • Desktop: KeePassXC
  2. In BlackOps Settings > Security > Enable 2FA
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator (or enter secret manually)
  4. Enter the current 6-digit code to verify
  5. CRITICAL: Save the backup codes shown
  6. Store backup codes in encrypted storage

PGP 2FA Verification

Each login will also require decrypting a PGP challenge:

  1. BlackOps sends encrypted message after password entry
  2. Copy the encrypted block
  3. Decrypt with: gpg --decrypt
  4. Enter the decrypted verification code
BlackOps Setup Complete! With PGP and TOTP configured, your BlackOps Market account has three-factor protection: password (knowledge), TOTP device (possession), and PGP key (possession + knowledge).

Funding Your BlackOps Wallet

BlackOps accepts only Monero (XMR) for maximum transaction privacy. Follow these steps for secure deposits.

Acquire Monero

  • Purchase XMR from a reputable exchange (Kraken, Binance, LocalMonero)
  • Or swap from Bitcoin using services like TradeOgre or Bisq
  • For maximum privacy, use peer-to-peer exchanges or ATMs

Use an Intermediate Wallet

Never send directly from exchange to BlackOps:

  1. Set up a personal Monero wallet (Feather Wallet recommended)
  2. Withdraw from exchange to your personal wallet
  3. Wait for confirmations (10+)
  4. Generate deposit address in BlackOps
  5. Send from personal wallet to BlackOps deposit address
Why Intermediate Wallet? Direct exchange-to-BlackOps transactions create a clear paper trail. An intermediate wallet adds a break that improves privacy, especially when combined with Monero's built-in privacy features that BlackOps Market uses.

Deposit Confirmation

  • BlackOps requires 10 confirmations for deposits
  • Typical time: 20-30 minutes under normal conditions
  • Never reuse deposit addresses - generate new ones each time

Making Your First Purchase

With your account configured and funded, you're ready for your first transaction.

Vendor Selection

  • Review vendor ratings and feedback carefully
  • Check for verified/trusted badges
  • Read recent reviews (last 30 days)
  • Look for consistent shipping times in your region
  • Prefer vendors with many completed orders

Order Process

  1. Select product and quantity
  2. Choose shipping option
  3. Encrypt your shipping address with vendor's PGP key
  4. Select escrow type (Standard 14-day recommended for first orders)
  5. Submit order and confirm payment from wallet
  6. Wait for vendor to accept and ship

After Receiving Order

  • Verify product matches description
  • If satisfied, finalize order to release escrow
  • Leave honest review to help other buyers
  • If issues exist, contact vendor first
  • File dispute only if vendor unresponsive
First Order Tips: Start with smaller orders from established vendors. Use Standard escrow for protection. Build relationships before considering Finalize Early. Never FE with new vendors regardless of what they claim.
