Great write up about the security of using SR, including most SR related arrests, and SR in general. It also has a guide, and links to more articles including one about how Australia's customs are struggling to cope with SR (self.SilkRoad)

Here's the portion about safety in general including most SR related arrests.

Here's the article about Australia's customs:
http://www.scmagazine.com.au/News/314984,aussie-coppers-bedeviled-by-online-contraband-networks.aspx
The rest of the article also has a ton of information about SR and is a pretty good read.
It is also a very good guide and has a ton of information about Silk Road.

Gwern's guide was the first one I read and the one I direct everyone to read

"I also know of another case involving an American who was convicted after a controlled delivery of LSD mailed from the Netherlands; his package was likely detected." What? I'm curious as to whether these were blotters. The only way I'd imagine blotters getting picked up is by buying like a sheet.

Perhaps the persons address was flagged from a previous event so he was under additional scrutiny.
Or he had liquid shipped and it leaked. Many of the people getting steroids overseas get busted because of this.

Pretty much anything coming from the NL is a no-go if you're ordering from aus, customs will inspect your mail contents. It likely wasn't his first order either, as customs generally like to get a pattern before doing a CD.
Its an American.

I was wondering he same thing. Seems extremely unlikely. Maybe the jut got super unlucky. Envelope gets ripped and a MBB or vac bag is revealed.
[–]gwern -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children)
They were blotters, AFAIK. Neither of us has any good theory as to how they could be detected aside from the usual theories like 'they were already flagged for additional scrutiny' or 'the sender was being monitored'.

Holy shit, that was long. Read most of it, though. Thanks, TJ.

"For example, compulsive users ... may become frustrated by the relatively slow speed of Tor as compared to broadband internet, which may tempt them to stray off Tor," the report said.
How do you access .onion addresses without Tor?
The report probably means that people might instead use clearnet forums like Topix or the quondam Farmer's Market or social networks or in-person purchases, after being put off by the speed of Tor hidden services. I haven't managed to get a copy of the report yet, so I don't know. (I have hopes of getting it in the next few months, though.)

onion.to, a site which lets you access .onion addresses through normal web browsers

Exactly.
.to is unsafe as fuck

I agree completely and cannot find the words to express my frustration that someone thought it was okay to suggest doing such a thing.
[–]Lurks3 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
I wasn't suggesting it I was just answering his question
[–]tambaysakanto -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (1 child)
good read, thanks TJ.
