Why you can't log into the market: Canary Expired V3 & Regarding Generating Deposit Addresses : AlphaBay | Torhoo darknet markets
The reason you are now unable to log into the market is because the market built-in canary has expired, which set off a security procedure that has prevented users with 2FA turned on from accessing the market. We take extra precautions and security measures for good reasons, which are intended to keep everyone secure as well as the market.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. You may rest assured knowing that we will handle this situation as we have in the past (/post/17273e71b90d5e8a61e4,

This has happened before.
Do I enjoy it? Not really. There are a lot of posts and a lot of support tickets to answer.
Do I wish that I could fix all the problems instantly for everyone? Absolutely.
Does everyone freak the fuck out and spread FUD. Yes.
Does DeSnake login and fix it. Yes.
All we can all do is be patient and wait.
Our market has prioritized security over usability. People do not like that you can not use special characters or do certain things. We have to balance security and usability. Sometimes that means there are interruptions like this.
I personally would rather work on a market that locks itself down entirely in the name of safety, then one that has little to no security and is a risk to the staff, vendors and customers.
As the addresses do not have PGP signed messages accompanying them for verification, which is giving of an error, we advise users not to deposit at this time. As we encourage good security and OpSec, we advise you to wait until this issue is resolved and have your PGP signed deposit addresses.
We will also be investigating problems for those users who have reported that they are unable to generate a deposit address after entering the captcha; we will have this issue resolved as well shortly.

Due to several reports (/post/ff12bc457bf4d4f337a4) we have received, staff is aware of a captcha problem with deposits as well as direct pay deposit addresses not generating. Withdrawals have been tested and continue to function as usual.
I'll say it again. There are absolutely no problems with withdrawals from the market; they are operating perfectly.
Generating a signed message for your deposit address (same with direct pay orders) is the ONLY problem right now. We apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused and we are aware that as customers, you want to be able to deposit, and we want you to have no trouble using the market.
Your patience is greatly appreciated while we investigate this problem, on which we are currently working and troubleshooting.
Please keep any posts and comments here. I will update this post once the canary has been signed and everything is back to normal. Only those who have 2FA enabled are affected; if it is not enabled, you can log in without any problems. Our I2P alternative and private mirrors are operational with no issues.
Note: If you had funds inside the market, this will not affect it. Withdrawals are also still working perfectly fine!
TLDR; Canary expired, and the security system locked 2FA activated users out. Will be dealt with as soon as possible. Deposits will be resolved as well, and we are working on it; however, deposits are not encouraged at this time.
UPDATE:
If you have blank wallet address on your order from before check it again now. As all of you know we use an algorithmic approach to range the required number of wallet addresses every day as one of many layered defenses, on top we have a hardcoded number/ceiling which the program was reaching hence some of you did not get an address as a preventative measure. I have updated that number to be aligned with the current size of the market.
In regards to tempest disputes they will be handled by other mods if needed over the weekend. The moderator has had health issues for a while now which can impact performance on assigned work. So for the time being future disputes/tickets will be spread out between other moderators from the same level. This will ensure all buyers and vendors equally continue to get attentive and quality support.
Multiple big updates coming up in the next weeks including finalization on remaining tickets. Stay tuned.
Thank you.
