Dark.Fail Introduces New Guidelines for Market Admins
DarkDotFail, the administrator of dark.fail, contacted appropriate parties (and posted publicly on Dread and on dark.fail) with a list of changes required for a “verified” status on dark.fail. Dark.fail, one of the most popular darkweb resources since the seizure of DeepDotWeb, hosts the most popular list of onion service addresses as well as the service’s mirrors when applicable.
A standard such as the one proposed by DarkDotFail will ultimately increase overall security for the end user. Very few market admins will willingly let their market sit in the “unverified” section of the list. And the requirements, known as the Onion Mirror Guidelines, will force the use of a regularly updated and publicly accessible warrant canary alongside the mirror and PGP key verification.
Introduction
The message posted on Dread is below. A signed and formatted version is available at this link. Another copy is available on dark.fail.
Admins,
To reduce the impact of phishing and to ease automatic PGP verification of mirrors, dark.fail is now defining the Onion Mirror Guidelines. (“OMG”) Admins that implement this standard show a commitment to user safety by proving ownership of all URLs associated with their site, and by committing to regularly prove control of their PGP key.
Sites which do not implement these guidelines by Dec 1, 2019 will be marked as “unverified” on dark.fail and listed below all other sites.

Seems the principal benefactor of all this is going to be perpetrator of the DDoS attacks. Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn't appear to be too well thought out. JMO :/

DarkDotFail is putting his foot down, HARD, and a hearty Cheers! to the man and the next round is on me, who knows, maybe one day we could do it in person but that defeats the purpose of course so I will just say thank you Sir!

Also if not known yet Agartha is filled to the brim with scammers all working together to fake reviews, ratings, etc, a rats nest if I have ever seen one. Regards to all the honest ones out there - Poppytree (I am around if you look for me)

I've been vending on Agartha for a while now and everything seems fine and works very well.
