Gwern Branwen has scraped/mirrored on a weekly or daily basis all existing English-language Dark Net Markets as part of research into their usage, lifetimes/characteristics, & legal riskiness. A torrent of the scraped data is now publicly released as a 52GB (~1.6TB) collection covering 89 DNMs & 37+ related forums, representing <4,438 mirrors, and can be found at <http://www.gwern.net/Black-market%20archives>.

There were a few archivists active in the early days. Due to various reasons, their archives may never see the light of day. For those that still have some, the feeling of a finger hovering over rm is a rather intoxicating experience, and the nostalgia of pointing their browser at http://127.0.0.1/ is quite fine indeed :) Kudos Gwern on your publication. Over a decade's worth of other stories are certainly waiting to be told.
