BlackNet was from the early 90s, and was not a serious thing according to the guy who created it.

Correct. A mod edited in the date, and also it appears it's too late for me to correct it.

How could a market like this work? They get to decide how much your information is worth... after you sent it to them? Or you send them a teaser and they make an offer for the rest?

A black market for buying and selling (illegal) information. I wonder why they list bank-transfers, cash and "CryptoCredits" which links to paypal, but not bitcoin as a payment option.

It sounds like a honeypot to me. And it's inconsistent when he says "...we have no way of identifying you, nor you us." and his name on the bottom of the page...

That comment about an obsolete gaming system from the 90s caught my attention

"anything on "3DO"?"

I feel like it's a reference/clue I'm not getting.
