I've got a list of a few sites. Blue sky, agora, and ect. I understand the basic rules use your own address real name and so on. Tired of the street scene I'm in the us and looking for a good weed vap cig vendor and a little help along the way. Thanks for the help in advance.
If you're in the US you want to use coinbase if you're just buying a little bit for yourself.
After you get your coins from Coinbase transfer them to your own wallet as soon as possible just to avoid the whole mtgox thing and a site getting hacked. After that, send them through bitcoin fog, then back to another BTC address (Or a couple of addresses) in your wallet.
Transfer the BTC from your wallet again into the market of your chosing when you're ready to make your purchase.
The only problem with Coinbase is it takes 30 days from start to finish to get you to level 2 and with the ability to instantly buy up to 300 dollars worth of BTC, i'd suggest making a very small purchase of like 5 or 10 bucks and wait out the 30 days (Unless you're making purchases of under 100 bucks)
If you're trying to resell and you're going to be ordering a lot then you might want to use localbitcoin if you want to be a little safer. Personally I feel that purchasing BTC and putting them through a tumbler like Bitcoin Fog is sufficient, others will tell you it's not.
I'd also recommend using the Tails operating system it has all of the tools you're going to need built in and if you make a flash drive with a persistent volume you'll be able to save all of your passwords on all of your sites as well as bookmarks. All of this would be on an encrypted flash drive that you would boot a computer up into. I have an old extra laptop that I use just for this purpose, removed the hard drive, removed the battery, and I only boot to the flash drive on it so nothing is saved on the computer itself. I also have backups of my flash drive in case it breaks or something. All of my passwords to all of the different sites I visit on the darknet have a different randomly generated password that I save on my persistent drive, so I just need to remember the password to my tails operating system and I'm good to go.
I then just throw my flash drive along with my other random flash drives on my desk so no one would think twice by looking at it.
It took me a weekend to set it all up, but now that it's done I don't have to worry about security again and opening the wrong website in the wrong browser and accidentally compromising myself. Some of what I do is overkill, but honestly it's much easier for me to have something dedicated for this that's on my flash drive so I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Some of this stuff might sound complicated, but it's not once you start to research. Just make sure you do your research before you take the plunge. You don't want to make any mistakes and screw yourself in the future. The Silkroad forums are a great resource for this kind of stuff as well. They're still up, popular, and gave me a lot of useful information when I was starting out.
