Bohemia Market Link Verification
There are several different ways to ensure that the mirror which you are currently visiting is in fact a genuine mirror operated by Bohemia.
Firstly, you can input “/mirror.pgp” after .onion of the URL currently displayed within your address bar. Here you will be able to see a list of the current and active mirrors, alongside an encrypted message using the official, and only PGP key associated to Bohemia. Our official PGP key can be located via trusted sources such as our official sections on livedarknet, darkfail.live or here.
If the PGP message cannot be decrypted using our public official PGP public key, and / or if the mirror you are currently accessing the platform from is not visible within the encrypted message, we suggest ending your session immediately.
Another way of validating the legitimacy of a mirror, is by visiting any of the partner websites for which we are affiliated:
– livedarknet
– darkfail.live
By visiting any of the above websites, you will be able to locate any and all mirrors published by Bohemia.
You’ll notice that all captcha images presented throughout the platform will contain the last 26 characters of the mirror for which you are currently visiting. If the 26 characters presented within the captcha image does not match that of the mirror currently being visited, we suggest ending your session immediately and seeking a mirror from one of the aforementioned trusted sources
Bohemia Market: PGP Usage
PGP (or Pretty Good Privacy) provides the means required to encrypt sensitive data and / or files, where parties other than those intended for, cannot access.
We explicitly recommend that all communication within the Bohemia platform is encrypted through the PGP protocol.
Although our user records are stored and hashed using complex algorithms, one should always endeavor to be safe than sorry.
Bohemia Market Link: User Control Panel
Our user control panel is an important section of the platform as it provides important functionality (such as editing your account details, and withdrawing funds off-site).
In the “Edit Profile” tab, you can upload your own custom avatar, and set a publicly viewable description of yourself in the “About Me” section.
Should you wish to change your pin, you can do so by clicking “Change PIN”. As your PIN is vital to withdrawing funds from the market, we have implemented an additional stage of verification from those you may already be used too, and this has been done with the protection of our users funds in mind. You will be required not only to confirm your current PIN and password, but also three random words from your mnemonic phrase (as per provided during registration).
You can change your password in the “Change Password” section by entering the current password, PIN, and the new desired password. We advise not only a strong password containing letters, numbers and symbols, but to also modify your password on a regular basis for the best protection & safety.
Finally, if you did not add your PGP key during registration, you can do so by clicking “Settings”. Here, you can also modify the default currency which will be displayed to you accross the platform.
Bohemia Market: Affiliate Program
We have implemented an affiliate program here at Bohemia, of which has primarily been designed to reward those who invite users to the platform prior to their registration.
For each purchase made by the person(s) you have invited through your referral link, you will receive 25% of the platforms percentage deduction for those purchases. For example, if the platform percentage deduction is 4%, and the item purchased by the referred user has a base cost of $100 – you will effectively receive 25% of that 4% cut.
These funds will automatically be credited to your balance and can either be withdrawn or used as a spendable balance.
Your personal referral invitation link can be found in the “User CP” alongside the associated statistics, as well as inside the “Affiliate Program” widget, located at the bottom left hand side of the homepage.

Bohemia Market URL: Feedback
Bohemia operates a feedback system on both vendor, and buyer profiles. This provides buyers with the opportunity to leave feedback for purchases made, and for merchants to also leave feedback for any orders theyve previously fulfilled.
Once an order has been fulfilled and marked as finalized, both buyer and merchant parties will be presented with the option to leave feedback from within the order details page.
Buyers can rate the products quality, overall logistics, and merchant communication for the purchase in question via the use of our star ratings feature, along with a brief snippet of text detailing their experience or discrepancies.
Aside from the above, the buyer can also rate their purchase as “Positive”, “Neutral” or “Negative”. This rating will attribute to the product and merchants feedback score and overall level on the platform.
Each buyer rating can be found when viewing a product page, and via the corresponding merchant profile. Although publicly viewable by any member on the platform, usernames are censored to protect buyers and their rights to customer confidentiality.
Its important to leave feedback on any orders placed, as it can and will be used by other members of the community to vet a potential vendor theyre considering to purchase from.
Likewise, merchants also have the ability to provide feedback for buyers which have purchased from their store. This will provide merchants the ability to voice any praise / concerns and positive / negative comments towards a buyer to give other merchants and users an insight as to how they conduct themselves when purchasing.
Bohemia Market: Making A Purchase
Bohemia employs a smart cart system which gives the buyer full flexibility in customizing their quantity, shipping & payment methods on the fly.
Both BTC (Bitcoin) and XMR (Monero) are accepted here at Bohemia. Its important to ensure that your account is topped up with the amount required to fulfill any order(s) you may wish to place. Certain merchants may only accept BTC while some may only accept XMR. Be sure to check which coins are accepted on any products of interest prior to making a deposit.
Physical products will generally have a field underneath which allows you to submit details such as your home address. While there is a PGP option built into the market, we highly suggest disabling it, and instead using your own PGP key to encrypt the sensitive information you must hand to the vendor.
If you happen to have a coupon code giving you a certain discount on a product, you may redeem it at checkout in the appropriate field. The necessary amount will be automatically deducted upon entry of code.
IMPORTANT: Changing a quantity, shopping method, adding coupon code or even adding a PGP encrypted message to the order must result in pressing the “Update” button, or your progress will be lost. This is extremely important. Any alteration must be followed nu the Update button as to make the changes persist.

Bohemia Market Link: Support Tickets & Bug Reports
At times, there may be issues that require the attention of Bohemia staff. You can easily reach out to us by hovering over the “Support” tab, located along the top toolbar of the platform and selecting one of the following options:
- Support Ticket
- Bug Report
We stress that support tickets should only be used in the event of requesting support for any and all issues regarding to the platform itself, or your account. We endeavour to respond to all support tickets within 24 hours of the time allocated.
Likewise the “Bug Report” option can be selected, at which point you will be presented with a pre-populated support ticket for which you should complete in as much detail as possible. Bug Report tickets are solely to alert the Bohemia Development Team of any issues you may have stumbled across whilst navigating the platform. Something doesnt work? Let us know!
We operate a case-by-case bug bounty system whereas a reward will be presented to the submitting user, providing that the bug is in fact genuine.
Its important to remember that whilst we will do our best to answer all quieries as soon as possible, creating multiple tickets will automatically push your new and existing tickets to the bottom of the allocation pile. This is purely a deterrent for those who have little to no patience. Bohemia administration will take effective action on any accounts found to be abusing the support system.
