AlphaBay was pre-launched in November 2014 and officially launched on December 22, 2014, it saw a steady growth, with 14,000 new users in the first 90 days of operation. The darknet informer website Gwern.net placed AlphaBay Market in the top tier of markets regarding the 6-month survival probability and it has proven to be successful.[10] In October 2015, it was recognized as the largest online darknet market according to Dan Palumbo, research director at Digital Citizens Alliance.[11]

Non-standard services included customisable digital contracts around building reputations.[12]

In May 2015 the site announced an integrated digital contracts and escrow system.[13] The contract system allows users to make engagements and agree to provide services in the future, according to the terms of the contract.

AlphaBay was noteworthy in the world of darknet markets for accepting another cryptocurrency in addition to bitcoin; support for Monero, supposedly more anonymous, was implemented at the end of August 2016.[14]

Of the 200,000 users, tens of thousands were LEOs worldwide. They are all over the Dark Web.

"Worst ruler in US history"? Trump? WTF do you think Obama had to do with any of it? It was set up and run by a Canadian.
 
And you know this ... how, exactly? I didn't know you were in international law enforcement. [eyeroll]

because the raids happened FIVE DAYS AGO...

Alpha Bay, a site which facilitated the sale of items such as drugs, stolen credit card numbers and weapons, unexpectedly vanished as raids were carried out in the US, Canada and Thailand.

Trump SHUT IT DOWN... the puppet DIDN'T...
