BlackOps Market PGP and Security Setup
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
Export Your Public Key
Upload to BlackOps
- Navigate to Account Settings > Security > PGP Key
- Copy entire public key block (including headers)
- Paste into the PGP public key field
- Save changes
- Test by encrypting a message to yourself
Backup Your Keys
Two-Factor Authentication Setup
BlackOps requires dual 2FA: TOTP (time-based codes) and PGP verification. Both must be configured.
TOTP Configuration
- Install an offline authenticator app:
- Android: Aegis Authenticator or andOTP
- iOS: Tofu Authenticator
- Desktop: KeePassXC
- In BlackOps Settings > Security > Enable 2FA
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator (or enter secret manually)
- Enter the current 6-digit code to verify
- CRITICAL: Save the backup codes shown
- Store backup codes in encrypted storage
PGP 2FA Verification
Each login will also require decrypting a PGP challenge:
- BlackOps sends encrypted message after password entry
- Copy the encrypted block
- Decrypt with:
gpg --decrypt - Enter the decrypted verification code
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:
- Set up a personal Monero wallet (Feather Wallet recommended)
- Withdraw from exchange to your personal wallet
- Wait for confirmations (10+)
- Generate deposit address in BlackOps
- Send from personal wallet to BlackOps deposit address
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
- Select product and quantity
- Choose shipping option
- Encrypt your shipping address with vendor's PGP key
- Select escrow type (Standard 14-day recommended for first orders)
- Submit order and confirm payment from wallet
- 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
