The fall of Archetyp - A compiled list of the issues with BigBoss's post and Archetyp : Archetyp | Torhoo darknet markets

The fall of Archetyp
Everything is still theory until more proof surfaces. A maintenance page serves no purpose if this was an exit scam. Remember Kingdom market's seizure screen? If LE takeover rather than shutdown this delay kind of wrecks the continuity that would be necessary for members to maintain trust. Only time will tell.

I agree like I said it's all a theory I just thought putting everything in one place would be good since I spent an hour scrolling through posts to find the info haha. But like I said we will need one hell of an explanation to make this legit the main mirror having issues doesn't explain why the site is down especially with the redundancies upon redundancies that Archetyp has that's what made them great but that also makes this suspicious. Hopefully they come back I love Archetyp but man I am going to be very cautious.
We can only hope for the best.

Thanks! That's my bet too I think they just bungled the honeypot or like I said there was just too many failsafes put in place by BB which meant it wasn't easy to turn into a honeypot. Really sad I did love Archetyp my favorite since WHM.

In a bit of rush here, so thought I'd answer one of your points raised.
If (and it appears so) that the backend is down, then auto-payouts would be affected.

Hope that helps.

I didn't even know that was a thing
Edit: the mirror on that page starting with "uay" redirects to the maintenance page meanwhile all other mirrors besides the main mirror seem to be completely gone. This doesn't really mean anything, just thought it was interesting.

SECOND EDIT: both of those links redirect to the same maintenance page. So far these are the only mirrors other than the main one I've accessed that still do anything at all. I'm not sure what this means but its something to take note of.
dude that site has a invalid signature.....

its not real

I am most surprised that he still has not written anything more, when it lasted 24 hours ok, 48 hours ok, now the situation has become strange,
this is too big market, to leave people and sellers without any update,
personally I will be afraid to log in there if it starts to work,
clearly something bad has happened

Reminder that you should all be incredibly cautious with the other markets for the next month or so. Remember, Hansa was turned into a Honeypot at the same time as alphabay was seized, with the idea being that people would flock to hansa. Stick with known vendors, manually encrypt all comms.
honstly, you'd be suprised how many idiots would just use the site anyway if it came back online

/u/newbieforever2018 already said, if the site comes back up, he alone will confirm its validity lol, without talking to BigBoss/ASNT first!??!? he actually said that, so yeah, if they did a honey put, theyd still get people

but yeah ive beens saying since the 20 hour mark its a seizure or a exit scam. but most likely a seizure
I did not state that I would confirm the market's validity. You also took it out of context. The topic related to people coming online ignorant to the fact that archetyp has been down and stating that their private link is not working. It was to prevent people from being phished, something that you have shown a complete indifference to.

I said "Point being that if I notice the market is back online before Bigboss makes an announcement then I will do so." That pertains to the main link working, not if Officer Friendly was operating it.


/post/5a0cbf7cb6e4e6cd917d/#c-56be3a97a2fb71eb35
I am including myself in the loop meaning that once staff announces market is back or I do. The topic was posted because some people are still asking why their link isn't working.


now its staff or just you? lol wouldnt /u/BigBossChefOfArchetyp be the one to announce it? (if he does its definitely a honeypot like hansa)

you've confirmed you havent heard from anyone and just doing damage control



Point being that if I notice the market is back online before Bigboss makes an announcement then I will do so.
Yes. That is accurate. For those with reading comprehension problems should I be the first to notice that the main archetyp link on the sidebar of /d/archetyp once again works I plan to announce it which has nothing to do with explaining the downtime nor vouching for the authenticity of the market staff at that time.

That is not damage control.
so you just said you would announce it?
OMG. I will announce when the official main link posted on the sidebar of /d/archetyp leads to a market login page rather than to a maintenance page. Does that need clarification?
why wouldnt you tell people its online AND bigboss hasnt said anything? people would trust your word and they would go use the site....
OMG. Either I need more drugs or you need less. Okay, the new improved announcement shall be as follows when and if the main link is restored:

"Attention archetyp members. The main link on the sidebar of /d/archetyp now leads to a page that is not the maintenance page. I discovered this on my own and it remains unverified so tread lightly and please contact
/u/jake0126 for further information". Better?
lmao. funny

all jokes aside i think you should see this, check out archetyp.link it was just brought back up today and and the signature is invalid. and doesnt even sound like him...

very sketchy

Get off Newbs nuts man.

Everyone here knows if Arche returns PROCEED at your own risk with fucking caution. We don't needs Newbs to remind us of that nor do we need him to caution any and every one of us against using the market (though he probably will anyway).

He's donated countless, hours, days and years of his life educating and protecting members of various DN forums / communities for little to nothing in return.

Put some respect on his name.
dude, theres still people on here that legit think that its coming back. and that all the facts that have been laid out are fake or not true.....

hes a Archetyp admin? why wouldn't he just warn the community that ASNT hasnt replied, and the sites up. so thats a HUGE red flag? like all he has to do is type a couple of words bro. he would do more harm then good if he just said "SITES BACK UPP"

I just conviced a guy 5 minutes ago. and theres 1000s more like him

and i do respect /u/newbieforever2018 a lot actually
Please know that regardless of my oversight everyone and his brother is going to sign on to archetyp the minute that the main link goes live.

Your services would best be spent posting topics stating that should the main link start working again people should realize that LE could be behind it.

IMHO if Archetyp has been taken over by LE they will not resume accepting orders. It will be on very shaky ground for them to take orders because the defense can claim that were it not for them the buyers would not have made the buys and it was entrapment.

LE of course will harvest as much data as possible but I pooh pooh the honey pot scenario.
yeah i dont think the honeypot isnt likely anymore either. i think there collecting as much data as they can now before they put the seizure notice up.

but you're right. they will. but still if your going to post that its back online, you might as well just add that its not safe (if ASNT hasnt contacted anyone of course)

EVERYONE upvotes mods like you and hugbunter. a lot of people would be see it if you posted it rather then me
I will make sure to list a disclaimer that the site has not been confirmed by previous staff but the link works again.

Personally I think it will be all or nothing, a seizure or a return of the original crew possibly relocated.
me too
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thanks for the kind words of support. I have always had the best interest of archetyp users as my main goal, beyond finding good vendors for myself! LOL
Now is the ideal time for phishers to post amazing new pgp signed links that work allegedly. The link that you mentioned was never an official link and should not be trusted.
well i think it is reall, or was at some point atleast. that link is 4 years old but has been offline for awhile. /post/daa91673f99672cdb051
Nice find but hard to trust coming from a deleted account
thats Yosemiteghostwrite original account??

it got deleted? then he came back to dread a couple years agp under the name /u/BigBossChefOfArchetyp

With the Archetyp scenario occurring at the same time as a political assassination, and protests/riots in the United States, and BigBoss being blackmailed, and the tactics of this nefarious cyber entity being eerily similar to KGB tactics in Soviet vassal states during the Cold War, such as the impersonation of law enforcement, I kinda doubt this is law enforcement. I think all of these occurrences happening so close together, makes this a part of a Russian operation to destabilize the United States, because the Russians would know that American citizens rely on darkweb markets for medical needs. Shit, there were active LE and ex-military buying painkillers off of Silk Road. Making you fearful and paranoid is exactly what they want, and if you are fearful and paranoid over this, then you are falling right into their hands.
