Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start?
If you're completely new to darknet markets, start with the Security & OPSEC Guide to understand basic security principles. Then move to Tor Browser Setup and PGP Encryption before creating your account.
Is PGP encryption mandatory?
Yes! DrugHub requires mandatory PGP login for all accounts. You must generate a 4096-bit PGP keypair and use it to authenticate. No passwords - pure cryptographic authentication. Follow our PGP Encryption & 2FA guide for detailed instructions.
Why Monero only?
DrugHub only accepts Monero (XMR) because Bitcoin is fully traceable. Every BTC transaction is permanently recorded on a public ledger. Monero provides true privacy through ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT - making transactions untraceable.
How long does each guide take?
Most guides take 10-20 minutes to read thoroughly. The Security and Vendor guides are longer (20-25 minutes) due to their comprehensive nature. Take your time - rushing through security guides defeats their purpose.
Are these guides updated?
Yes! All guides are regularly updated to reflect DrugHub's current features, new security threats, and best practices. Last update: December 2025. Check individual guide timestamps for specifics.
Can I download these guides?
For security reasons, we don't provide downloadable PDFs. Outdated guides are dangerous - they may contain deprecated security advice. Always access guides through this portal to ensure you're reading the latest version.
What is Lab Verification?
DrugHub's unique feature. Vendors must submit laboratory reports verifying purity and composition. 90% of listings are lab-verified. Products passing verification receive a badge. This is unprecedented in darknet markets and significantly improves buyer safety.
How does walletless escrow work?
Traditional markets hold funds in central wallets - that's how exit scams happen. DrugHub uses 2-of-3 multisig smart contracts. Funds go directly to escrow addresses, not market wallets. Admin can't steal what they don't hold. Read our Escrow System guide for full details.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Our guides assume zero prior knowledge. If you can follow instructions, you can learn PGP, Tor, and Monero. Each concept is explained from basics. The learning curve is real but manageable - most users are comfortable within a week.
⚠️ Important Security Note
These guides contain educational information only. We don't encourage illegal activity. Users are responsible for compliance with local laws. Always verify information independently - darknet security is a moving target.
When in doubt, don't proceed. Ask questions on Dread forum, research more, and only act when you're confident in your understanding.
