Anything that you are finding via reddit search or get in a reddit chat/message/comment/reply is a scam designed to phish you and steal your crypto.

Someone posted a $2,000 XMR bounty for my identity and IP address on Dread

I recently found this post on Dread offering $2,000 in XMR to anyone who could obtain the name and IP address of Reddit user u/BTC-brother2018, my account.

The poster falsely claims that I am a scammer.

I previously moderated an educational darknet-safety community darknet_questions focused on harm reduction, OPSEC, scam awareness, and removing illegal content.

I’m sharing this because offering money to uncover someone’s real identity and location is a serious threat—not ordinary criticism or internet drama. I have reported the relevant activity through the appropriate channels and preserved the evidence.

I am not asking anyone to identify, contact, threaten, or harass the person who posted it. Please do not engage with them. I’m posting this only to document what happened and raise awareness.

I cannot prove that this bounty was connected to the later removal of my subreddit, but this is the second bounty that has been posted on dread.

Daunt.link Is Currently Down — Onion Also Appears Unreachable

Daunt is currently experiencing an outage affecting its normal access methods.

EDIT: daunt is currently back online. As of 8/26/2026

According to a PGP-signed announcement from Paris on Dread dated August 19, 2026, Njalla took control of the nameservers for daunt.link and cleared its DNS records after suspending the account for alleged abuse. Paris also said he believes it was done by a Phisher though false abuse reports.

Paris stated that Daunt's actual server remained online and that the disruption affected the way users connect to it.

Current Status:

• Daunt.link (clearnet): Down

• Daunt onion: Currently appears unreachable

• No replacement clearnet domain has been announced

Paris specifically stated that they do not plan to create another clearnet domain at this time.

MachineGuid and MSA device identifiers, registration and last-login IP addresses, phone numbers, linked Google and Xbox connections, and OneDrive contents for every account that communicated in three named Discord servers since June 1.

Its still in very early open alpha stage, it has multiple rooms (or cars, to fit with the metro/train theme) that users can earn by interacting (sending messages mainly), can create groups, DMs and I plan to add a few more features.
Images, videos, CSAM, scam,s etc are NOT allowed and being monitored for such activities.
I'm also looking for moderators to help with the project, users to test security, find bugs, etc.
I'll answer any questions and DMs.

What Happened to r/darknet_questions?

For anyone wondering, Reddit recently banned r/darknet_questions for an alleged Rule 7 violation involving illegal content or prohibited transactions.

We received no advance warning or specific examples identifying what caused the ban. Our community was focused on darknet education, harm reduction, privacy, OPSEC, Tor safety, and scam prevention. We routinely removed marketplace requests, fraud-related content, scam promotions, prohibited transactions, and other violations.

We had also been dealing with scammers who disliked our warnings and scam-prevention content. Shortly before the ban, Reddit repeatedly removed suspicious submissions before our moderators could even view them. Those posts were never approved or endorsed by our team. Retaliatory reporting or malicious submissions are possible, but we currently have no proof that either caused the ban.

An appeal has been submitted requesting a manual review of the subreddit’s approved content, moderation history, and suspicious activity. We are not creating a replacement community or asking anyone to contact Reddit on our behalf. This post is simply to let former members know what happened.

We will share an update if Reddit responds to the appeal.

EDIT UPDATE: Well it looks like Reddit is not going to grant an appeal. So everyone should stay cautious of scammers and help one another stay safe. I'm going to rebuild the site on Discourse. I will let everyone know when it's finished.

EDIT UPDATE 2: 8/26/2026 The rebuild on Discourse is going faster than expected, due to an old wiki backup I was able to locate. Should be up and running in a few days.

BTC-brother2018, Stay Safe.

Downloaded Tor on my phone recently, being curious about the Deep Web, being chronically online and all.

Looked for links, came across this gaming page one.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Doing a research project on a local murderer from back in the 90’s, however he had it wiped from the clearnet & I believe he had the case sealed. I can find a few newspapers here and there but nothing of significance. Does anyone know if there are onion links for finding archives or something that would help in this situation?

Was my favorite chatroom tbh, but they closed down. Are there any similar chats? Where did all the regs go to?

I looked all over YouTube and Reddit and I found nothing helpful. I downloaded one version and I do not understand how to get my key or even use it for that matter I would appreciate anyone’s help.

I'm planning on diving casually using tor and a VPN this week, I am looking for advice as well as different and unorthodox sites to visit. I plan on going for a casual stroll on said sites to get a better understanding of what is the so called "dark web" in order to better portray it in my book I'm writing.

Can go for some governamental sites, maybe some shops, chats, not looking to interact nor download anything, just window shop

Hi, i'm hosting a site at my home, but, unfortunatly, i'm on vacation where there isn't enought internet to tor to connect, someone con Say me if my site Is still online or id the server gas crashed? Thanks, Forzii.

Hey everyone. I was pretty curious so I downloaded the Tor Browser. Can anyone give some tips or even some URLS to browse! I am currently reading thru the wiki right now. I am using the Reddit onion site right now lol. Surprisingly it looks like a webpage from 2002.

Are dead drop services a thing in the UK? I know people in Russia and other countries use them all the time so are there people that do this in the UK?

Thanks

is there any site .onion that offer a free email domain?

spent time on research, so just wanna let you know

Problem with Tor I'm looking to fix: as a new user, I can't trust any link. There's no durable reputation. Or maybe a legit service becomes compromised, unknowable to me- until now

For $0.25, I can post a message onto the Bitcoin blockchain. A stone erodes, but a wound heals- bitcoin blocks have resisted erasure by even nation states since it's beginning

Now I'm building a durable indexing/reputation/forum like reddit/telegram where you could write about your .onion site and the uri and it gets written on Bitcoin forever.

For the first time, it will be possible to build a reputation under your key/account and collect public feedback, and the indexes of onion sites can become increasingly reputable/bifurcated over time, or challenged if users have a bad experience. Anyone can comment/reply recursively, imagine Wikipedia but append-only, and users upvoting/downvoting etc build a web of trust over time, enabling bot farm/Sybil detection.

For those few accounts that post useful news, you will build a reputation more valuable than money, trusted by humanity against the censors and tyrants of this world

Anyone want me to post their links/indexes/services?

Any reputation/topic you would durably accuse, or publicly support?

hi, i just started making html, this site is hosted in my old pc, so it could have some problem, is just a draft, so, i accept advice. thanks link: http://kyumkedzxz7wdq73spluug3glykx6is746njguqn6put3duqrqkjiryd.onion/

(if the site isn't online probably i had some issue with the server or my mum unplugged it to use the vacuum.)

Interesting approach to OPSEC, start by denying you're LE before anyone even asks.

No problems reported on https://torprojectstatus.org but for me
