D Hub and Dark Matter are the 2 main ones now. I like them both personally.

Man.... I do miss Empire. It was the best.

Empire was so good and easy to use shout out to Dream who didn’t exit before closing

Dream was run by the feds for a year to scrape data

I had stopped using it about 2 years before it shut down. I was always buying from the same vendor and eventually we bypassed dream altogether and I was ordering from him directly. That went on for about 3 years and then he just went dark on me.

or retired like a smart rich buy. Just judging by timeline he retired when BTC launched close to 100k again. Smart.

I hope that was the outcome. Guy was rock solid for years, never let me down and the weed was always amazing quality.

Naaah Dream sold inside info… “on the Fence”

RIP Torrez, Cannazon, Cannhome & ASAP all severed me Well oh and Unicc if u count that Shizz & Versus “Was one my Favs” they tried but Couldn’t take the breaches & Btc stolen from wallets so had to stand down. I mean for its run Arch took the biscuit with such a Clean Loafing GUI & a Cap u can solve and not have to prove your more than human 20x times

Remember some markets are better for EU people “Me” and some better for USA nevertheless they all tried and fuck everyone who took an Exit and whoever lost money I’m sorry u deserve it I never lost a penny as I only Done a direct payment once my order was done never before I feel sorry for all those with 6figs sat & gone who would trust that much it’s not EBay lol.

& for now if your not using the same vendors just differently then I dunno what ur doing tbh only thing that’s changed is no escrow but when dealing with vendors with so much trust & sales it’s all good as it gets sorted regardless it’s the new ones u need to watch out for nowadays too many scams.
