BlackOps is listed as Active with 2FA, PGP, escrow, and Monero. Public directories describe a smaller, curated vendor roster rather than a high listing count. This is an editorial profile, not a marketplace listing.
General marketplace; public listings emphasize manual vendor screening

One public directory dates BlackOps to September 2024. A second directory’s table also uses 2024. Both describe worldwide shipping and a human review step before new vendors can list. That screening story is consistent across directory write-ups; we have not audited their queue.
Our tags record Monero only. Public pages now say Bitcoin was added later; one directory dates that add to April 2025, another to April 2026. Until BTC is in this file, the profile follows the catalog: XMR, 2FA, PGP, escrow. We do not invent a coin tag from a directory update, especially when those pages disagree on the year.
One directory’s angle is vendor economics: low fees, storefront tooling, and bond models. Another’s is manual screening and a later dual-coin shift. We record both as reported color. Third-party listing estimates are in the low thousands (one table says 2,000+). We store no listing count here.
Onion addresses on this card are the strings we store. A curated-vendor story is not a verified extra mirror.
Status, tags, and listing counts come from our catalog file. Editorial notes below the card come from open public reporting and are worded as reported when we have not verified them in-house. Treat every mirror you find elsewhere as untrusted until you check a PGP canary and a second independent source. See phishing detection and OPSEC fundamentals.
