FAQ / KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM

This website serves as an authorized, cryptographically secured clearnet gateway for DruHub Market. Our primary function is to serve as an updated, permanent reference for verified, cryptographically signed onion mirrors. By using this index, buyers and distributors can connect to the core hidden services without running the risk of malicious DNS query redirects, phishing, or connection hijackings.

Onion addresses are cryptographic domain names utilized within the Tor network protocol. Unlike typical clearnet URLs, an onion link does not process requests through central domain name servers. Instead, routes are established peer-to-peer using end-to-end cryptographic keys which wrap data in layered encryption. This protocol prevents observers from mapping physical host server details or tracking client connection parameters.

To connect securely, download the official Tor Browser from the Tor Project. Open the application, copy our verified primary mirror: http://drughub33kngovqzkhf6gqjyudzak44gcnfrrh4ukllicsuduraw3did.onion, and paste it directly into your URL line. Standard web browsers cannot load these addresses without specialized proxies which degrade operational privacy.

Open one of our active onion links in the Tor Browser and click the signup link page. Select a unique alias and a strong master passphrase. The signup engine will output a private recovery seed phrase (mnemonic)—store this safely offline. We strongly recommend linking your personal PGP public key to activate 2FA for all subsequent sessions.

Authentic mirrors are published alongside standard PGP signature blocks. You can import our official system PGP public key into any compliant desktop client (such as Kleopatra or GnuPG). By verifying the signed text block against our master key, you guarantee that the mirror is genuine and that the data has not been modified by a third party.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption ensures zero-knowledge storage across the market server network. By locally encrypting delivery instructions and physical addresses with your merchant's public key before transmission, you guarantee that raw plaintext data is never exposed. Even in the highly unlikely event of a structural database breach, the data remains unreadable cipher text.

Using DruHub Market is highly safe if you follow fundamental operational security (OpSec) procedures. Always use the Tor browser bundle inside an isolated operating system such as Tails, disable Javascript in browser settings, verify mirrors using signed PGP signatures, and use private, peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies like Monero.

We support Monero (XMR) due to its built-in untraceability features. Monero employs stealth addresses and ring signatures to anonymize the sender, recipient, and amount transacted. The platform supports standard deposit wallets and direct transaction checkout models, enabling direct settlement without the risk of long-term custodial wallet exposure.

Our escrow system serves as a trust mechanism between parties. When you finalize checkout, payments are sent to a secure escrow wallet. The funds are held in this pending status until you confirm delivery of your order. Once delivery is finalized, you release the escrow, sending the balance to the merchant's wallet.

Yes, for select transactions we support multi-signature (2-of-3) escrow formats. This mechanism requires cryptographic authorizations from at least two of the three participants (the Buyer, the Merchant, or the Marketplace Moderator) to execute any transaction. This ensures that funds cannot be hijacked or frozen unilaterally.

To protect our user base, new vendor registrations are subject to vetting processes. Verified merchants with established histories on other legacy networks can apply for a waiver on account bond costs by proving profile ownership cryptographically. All standard new registrations must purchase a vendor bond within their market dashboard before listing stock.

If an exception occurs during shipping, you must file a formal dispute before the auto-finalize window closes. Once a dispute is created, a market moderator is assigned to review tracking signals, communication records, and history. The mediator will resolve the dispute by refunding the buyer or releasing the escrowed funds to the vendor.

To maintain a secure ecosystem, we strictly prohibit listings of services related to physical violence, weapons of mass destruction, non-consensual media, poisons, chemical hazards, or child/human exploitation. Merchants found attempting to list prohibited inventory face immediate account termination and forfeiture of security deposits.

Tor network connections can experience high traffic loads or attacks which temporarily drop nodes. If our main mirror at http://drughub33kngovqzkhf6gqjyudzak44gcnfrrh4ukllicsuduraw3did.onion fails, try verifying our backup mirror: http://drughub72p6274m6ym6wjdlfh2zsxsxt6vbjslnmvs6xupyknycx2xyd.onion. Clicking on "New Identity" inside the Tor Browser can also route you through a fresh path to resolve access issues.

All formal system communication is routed through our built-in ticketing subsystem in the market panel. Once logged in, open the "Support" link and write your issue. For safety reasons, do not include raw plaintext coordinates inside the message boxes—always use PGP encryption. Our administrative staff will never request your passwords or recovery seed phrases.
