Maybe not a stupid question but these motherfucking bots won't let me post anything with getting taken down for some inaccurate reason.

How did I fix a PGP error 99 on the vendors side? I have been trying to send a vendor my address for days now and he keeps saying that he is getting an error 99 when trying to decrypt my messages. I have purchased from other vendors and those purchases have shipped with no problem. Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me about their experiences with private, or off market deals? My very first order from a DN was through FreeTrade on Nucleus. The product was a good value for the quality, and the vendor was very nice, patient, and helpful knowing even knowing he was dealing with a newbie. He sent my order confirmation with a link to a site they have been building (I haven't checked lately, and it might be done by now). The prices are much better than his listings on Nucleus, but of course, there is no escrow or mediators in case of any issues.

I have been ordering from a different vendor with similar quality product with better prices. But the private prices are a little better than the other vendor. The other vendor doesn't require FE, but offers free shipping for it. I ended up going with that option last time I ordered. He delayed in changing the order status from accepted to shipped, so I couldn't FE for a while. I ended up getting my package just a few hours after FEing.

I've heard people love doing private deals because the money is better for both parties, lower price for buyer, and no commission from vendor to market. Should I order from him on Nucleus a bit more to establish a better relationship first? He has recently switched to requiring FE for everything, so I don't see any reason for that. And while he only has a couple hundred sales on Nucleus, his feedback there and here has all been good from what I can tell.

I'm interested in LSD i have 0 literally 0 knowledge of LSD hoping to buy some in the next few weeks, USA is my domestic.


[2 Points] doughnutpotato:

So I need an order quickly, and a vendor has an express option that says this:

All xpress internationals shippments (anything marked tracking) require a signature, this includes USA and any World wide shipment.

Should I be concerned? Or is this pretty common for express international?


[2 Points] None:

Do I need to pgp encrypt every message I send to a vendor or just ones with my address in them?


[2 Points] marketeconomy:

So with the BTC rates rising are the vendors going to adapt their prices? I mean right now the weed on the street is cheaper than on the DNM (at least for me)

What's to stop law enforcement from registering as a vendor and logging info from all its customers?


[2 Points] ohdemwatermelons:

I saw an onion that said it would multiply your BTC in 24hrs. Send it .01BTC and you'd get 1BTC the next day. Surely it's a scam, or everyone would do it, right? Anyone ever tried this?

I'm a noob here with a Mac. Is it really necessary for me to boot TAILS off a USB?

Also, how often are people caught ordering things like adderall?


[1 Points] throwaway7282900:

getting ready to make a purchase, have BTC in my coinbase that just came in today. can i send what i need (.3) straight to bitcoin fog, then from there to agora?


[1 Points] Dabsandtabs908:

First time bitcoin buyer, planning on using libertyx. Apparently libertyx doesn't have a wallet itself, rather it gets sent to a wallet of choice. Would it be a stupid idea to just send it straight to electruum on tails then agora? Should I just make a few wallets and send it around?

Earlier today I used electrum to store my coins from LBC. After I did so, I believe I encountered an error on my part. I believe i forgot to pay a fee for electrum, and after doing some research, believe it is the cause of my problem. My question is, will the bitcoin still process? It is stuck at 0 confirmations and "within 6 blocks" and its been like this for hours now. Thanks for your help in advance.

So Here's my stupid question. My [first] order was with sychopharma. He goes on vacation the day after I've ordered. What is vacation used for?


[1 Points] GRump64:

Here is my stupid question, how easy is the process for getting back funds when product is not delivered, when BTC are in escrow on Agora. Can someone explain to me just a brief timeline how things would play out.


[1 Points] ATCaver:

I literally have zero experience buying "product". I also have zero access to a computer. I do, however, have a decently powerful smartphone (G3).

Is this stuff even possible for me? I've found it extremely hard to make contacts locally, so I'm desparate.


[1 Points] _BobaFet:

Would anyone be interested in flavored cigarettes shipped internationally, or any type of tobacco that maybe they cannot buy in their state or province? If so, can you give me an idea of the prices people would be willing to pay for a carton?

I have access to some Chocolate Japanese cigs, some cloves and other cool things :)


[1 Points] LongLiveThe_King:

On BV's profile it says that he is setting up a "new ordering platform". Does anyone know what that means?

Is he moving to a new site or does that just mean he is restocking?


[1 Points] waves007:

Has anyone tried goingpostal's LSD? Is it any good?


[1 Points] off_to_belize:

What does OPSEC and FUD stand for? I know what they mean in general but just curious as to what the letters stand for.


[1 Points] PleaseInsertGirderr:

I'm worried about this whole "controlled delivery" thing. I've never purchased in the darknet markets before. How can I minimize my chances? Is it something I should worry about if I'm ordering 5 g of molly from USA to USA?


[1 Points] _BobaFet:

Who would want to sample my "LSD" for free?


[1 Points] None:

Trying to resolve an order I made almost a month ago with an obvious exit scammer (bunch of people with no packs after a few weeks, vendor is restricted + vacation mode) on Agora. It's been a week since I clicked "Resolve" and nothing has happened (money is still in escrow). When/can I expect to get my money back? How long does it typically take for Ag support to take care of stuff like this?


[1 Points] Bambk1224:

Does anyone have a youtube link, or anything similar to explain everything in one go regarding secure email. I have created a safemail account - however youtube vids all suggest Gmail + GnuPG + Plugin... Basically, now I created safemail, what else do I need ha. I understand I need to generate a public and private key, just obtaining the fecker is the issue seeing as the vids I search relate to GMail. Cheers for any help


[1 Points] BeerPen:

Nobody will probably read this anymore but I'm trying anyway:

A domestic order was marked shipped 5 days ago (3 'mail-delivery days') and it hasn't arrived yet. Should I send the vendor a message yet or am I just being paranoid? I'd like to have this resolved by next week as I'll be away for a while.

How come I barely ever see vendors selling XTC? I see a lot of MDMA which might be the roughly the same but I prefer the pills..anyne recommend a source?
