If cryptocurrencies are starting to gain ground in the "legal" trade, they are now almost indispensable on the black market. And in addition to Bitcoin, other currencies have also found their place on the darknet, as Monero will land soon on Dream Market.
For those who do not know, Dream Market is part of these underground markets that can be found on the dark side of the web, the Darknet. It is even a supermarket of the illegal because it contains a little of everything, from drugs to counterfeit products, through stolen data, drugs and even hacking software ( like Evrial ).
So far, visitors to the site that is accessible via the Tor network could pay against Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash .
Proud of its success, Dream Market decides to develop a little more by adding another cryptocurrency soon on their platform, the Monero. However, we do not know the exact date of the integration, but what is certain is that Dream Market users will soon be able to pay their orders in XMR.
But why Monero instead of another altcoin?
The XMR was chosen by the managers of Dream Market, to better guarantee the anonymity of the customers. It is because of its ability to be untraceable that Monero has been able to win the trust of black markets and cybercriminals at the expense of Bitcoin . The XMR has already been integrated as the Darknet's most popular black market payment option, Alphabay , at least before it closed in July 2017.
In terms of implementing this new system, Dream Market sellers will receive a notification asking them to accept XMR payments for future orders . Only ads from sellers who have accepted the request will show the Monero option.
Even if Monero is not yet fully integrated, the Darknet community is already looking forward to this news on social networks. Here are some reactions collected on Reddit:
"Best news of 2018"
"Well done DreamMarket !!! You always have a leg up on the pack. "
"Any market without XMR does not care about the security of its customers. Of course the dream »
