Interview

Interview with the founder.

Anonymous, honest, and occasionally too honest. Twelve questions about why TrustWeb exists — and who's behind it.

01 · Who are you?

A person who grew up on the outside. I've always had a talent for understanding people — even when they're wrong. Open, happy, generous.

02 · Why did you build TrustWeb?

Every 2–5 years, new sites pop up, new vendors arrive, and sometimes a real gem appears. We're trying to make darknet trade as safe as possible.

03 · Describe TrustWeb in one sentence.

Where knowledge meets trust.

04 · Most frustrating thing about review platforms today?

A vendor can win a dispute — and the customer who lost can still leave a review on the product. That's not a review system. That's a revenge system.

05 · Have you ever been scammed?

Yes. Which time? The darknet is a dark place for an ambitious young guy who just found it.

06 · What was your first step?

I thought for a whole week about what it would become if I did it. Then I just went.

07 · What are you most proud of?

That people appreciate what we've built — and that scammers are trying to take us down. If they didn't care, we wouldn't matter.

08 · What do you do when you're not coding?

Music. And unfortunately, I'm a porn addict.

09 · What would you say to someone building something similar?

Reach out for collaboration and tips.

10 · If TrustWeb succeeds — what happens?

People who built something real get the recognition they deserve. And the scammers come for us. Both are signs we did it right.

11 · If TrustWeb were a drink?

Piña colada.
