This thread topic made me do some research into the deep/dark web and I learn't a few things.
- There is a lot of fakeness on the dark web by scammers and gloaters galore. Chances are if you pay for something then they will take your money and that would be the end of it.
- Many stories of hitmen for hire and "red rooms" (live murders) have been shown to be fake.
- Onion ring networking is not as anonymous as people think and can usually be traced to the source IP in about 30 seconds.
- There are many other network protocols that TCP/IP can operate on, e.g ATM, that care not one iota how many onion rings you use.
- The place is just full of a lot of pedophiles and w@nkers, many of them technically smart but socially inept.
I wouldn't bother.
