FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Why am I getting JavaScript warnings?
At Pegasus Market, we prioritize your security. The JavaScript warnings you are receiving are likely related to the privacy settings in your browser or the security protocols we’ve implemented. These warnings are in place to protect you from potential threats and ensure that your browsing experience remains safe. For more detailed information on why this is happening and how to handle it.
Can’t I just use a burner phone instead of a secure OS?
No, using a burner phone is not a substitute for a secure operating system. Cell phones, even burner phones, have numerous vulnerabilities that can be exploited. They are far from secure and should not be relied upon for any activity that requires privacy and security. We strongly recommend purchasing a laptop that is a few years old from platforms like Craigslist or eBay. It doesn’t need to be anything special or expensive, but it will allow you to install a secure OS and take full control of your operational security.
Do I really need to convert my coins if I’m only buying personal amounts?
Absolutely. It’s crucial to treat all transactions with the highest level of security, regardless of the amount. Just as you wouldn’t hand over illicit goods in front of law enforcement in real life, you shouldn’t take unnecessary risks online. Converting your coins and using privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero greatly reduces your digital footprint and helps keep you safe.
What are the odds of (INSERT DRUG) getting seized? Or my door getting kicked in?
No one can provide a guaranteed answer to this question. However, by following the comprehensive guidelines laid out in our security bible, you can significantly minimize your risks. Choosing vendors with a strong reputation for stealth and avoiding high-risk countries will also reduce the likelihood of issues. Always be vigilant and prioritize your security.
Why is Monero recommended over Bitcoin for transactions?
While Pegasus Market supports both Bitcoin and Monero, we strongly recommend using Monero for its superior privacy features. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero transactions are private by default, meaning that your transaction history cannot be traced on the blockchain. This makes Monero an ideal choice for those who prioritize anonymity and wish to conduct their business securely.
What should I do if I encounter a scammer or suspicious activity?
If you come across any suspicious activity or believe you’ve encountered a scammer, it’s imperative to report it to our support team immediately. We have strict policies against scamming and will take swift action to protect our community. Please provide as much detail as possible when making a report, so we can investigate thoroughly.
How can I improve my operational security (OpSec) on Pegasus Market?
Improving your OpSec is essential for maintaining anonymity and safety. Some basic steps include using a secure OS like Tails, regularly updating your software, using strong, unique passwords, and employing two-factor authentication where possible. Additionally, always use Monero for transactions and avoid sharing any personal information that could compromise your identity. For a more detailed guide, please refer to our OpSec handbook available on the site.
