    What were you vending and why did you stop? I'm just curious, don't want a name or anything crazy

    Well when the American government seized all my escrow funds from the Ulbrich bust, i cleared my computer, cleaned my house and removed all traces of my darknet activity. From there i stayed low for a while and watched the DNM scene to see what was going on. Right after the Sheep heist, it became clear to me that vending on any marketplace would be unsafe without the use of multi-sig escrow. I teamed up with my partner to create what is now called Alpaca Marketplace. 100% multi-sig, and all sensitive information is server-side encrypted for the extra layer of security (and for those lazy people who don't encrypt their delivery addresses, as stated in this discussion thread). I have dedicated my time on this project ever since.

    Unfortunately, I cannot disclose any information that may be used against me, e.g. what i was vending.

    It takes three seconds to encrypt something via PGP goddamnit, why risk it?

    [–]batistaker 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Could someone link me to a good method of pgp encryption. Now I feel bad knowing I've been using Igolder.

    http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/wiki/guides#wiki_encryption_guides

    This is the best guide of all PGP methods. Once you pick a program to use it's kinda hard to figure out to figure out how to use it so these guides should help.

    This is basically the same insecure shit as igolder.

    Take the time to learn how to, google if needed, its for your own good.

    download Gpg4win and learn to use it. it's really easy to use and there are tutorials all over the place if you get stuck on something.

    [–]galaxyandspace 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Weeps

    how do we still improve this? It's aggravating.

    [–]fun-gee[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Better tools to process multisig transaction would certainly help.

    [–]galaxyandspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    And that's been promised with Electrum 2.0, and a variety of other softwares.

    So glad to hear this! Thanks for the updates on the stats. BTW, did you see this post on the forum: http://i25c62nvu4cgeqyz.onion/viewtopic.php?id=25695 ? I'm trying to help vendors/buyers to set up their multisig and keep a list of vendors that accept it. You were the first on my list because I was able to find your listing by searching for "multisig". @eleftheria_nxs I don't believe Evo encrypts messages. You should never rely on anyone for your encryption.

    I think that using PGP is not needed in my country (if you buy small amounts). Buying isn't illegal, so they can't use it.

    I encrypt my adress "just for fun"..

    I think that's something you might want to find out with certainty.

    [–]derechoprivado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm 100% sure that buying isn't a crime here. It has an "administrative penalty" something between 300-600€. What I'm not 100% sure (just 99%) is if they could fine you using information from USA agencies.

    But even if its legal to share info not being a crime (i'd have to read our "data protection law") our administration is so inefective that nothing would be done. For example i've been stopped by police 3 times with weed on me they told me all 3 times that that was an administrative ofense and that i'd receibe a letter with a 300€ fine and it never came...

    I trust Evolution marketplace encrypts all their sensitive data, e.g. delivery addresses. So technically all your clear text orders aren't really 'clear text' after all.

    [–]pugsfordrugs 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Still though, that's server-side encryption. Your clear text address is still hitting their network. I'd rather have Tails do it than Evo.

    [–]eleftheria_nxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'd rather have both layers of security.

    [–]Unicornsity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If evo gets shut down by LE though...
