COMMON QUESTIONS

Yes. Drughub darknet market has established itself as a resilient platform with high uptime. However, because it is a hidden service, many phishing sites exist. The platform is legit only if you access it via a cryptographically signed drughub onion link. Always verify the PGP signature before depositing funds.

If the drughub site is down, it is likely due to a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) or Tor network congestion.

Solution:

• Check our Mirrors Page for rotating links.
• Get a "New Identity" in Tor Browser.
• Ensure your system clock is synchronized.

Yes. In fact, using a VPN with Tor (Tor-over-VPN) can sometimes compromise your anonymity by creating a permanent traffic correlation. The drughub shop recommends using a clean Tor Browser on a secure OS (like Tails or Whonix) without additional VPN layers.

While the drughub market accepts Bitcoin, we strongly advise using Monero (XMR). Bitcoin transactions are public and traceable on the blockchain. Monero uses ring signatures to hide the sender, receiver, and amount, making your purchase on the darknet market completely private.

Darknet transactions require block confirmations.

• Bitcoin: Requires 2 confirmations (~20-40 mins).
• Monero: Requires 10 confirmations (~20 mins).

If 2 hours pass without funds appearing in your drughub wallet, open a support ticket with your Transaction ID (TXID).

Escrow: The drughub market holds your coins until you confirm you received the package. This protects the buyer.
FE (Finalize Early): Funds are released to the vendor immediately when shipped. Only use FE with trusted, high-level vendors on the drughub shop.

If an order does not arrive within the escrow time limit, do not "Finalize". Click the "Dispute" button. A Drughub moderator will review the case. You will need to prove you sent the correct shipping address encrypted with PGP.
