Moronic Monday - it's your weekly stupid questions thread!

Hey /r/DarkNetMarkets , it is time for Moronic Monday!

Post your question - stupid or otherwise - here to get an answer. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don't get a lot of action, so if your question didn't get answered before, feel free to post it again.

If you are a noob, check out our comprehensive FAQ; it is essentially a guide for buying from a DarkNet Market. You may also find it helpful to take a look at our informative community posts, which are full of valuable information and tips.

We do ask that you refrain from abusing noobs in this thread. Remember that everyone had to start somewhere.

P.S. Check out /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs, where it is Moronic Monday everyday!

I believe it was galaxyandspace (or Lobali, not sure) that said he/she thought Agora's CAPTCHA would just keep getting smaller and smaller until poof exit scam.

Can anyone confirm the current dimensions of the CAPTCHA box?

What happens if Agora and Evolution go down,

where will I get my drugs?

Will I no longer be able to have the darknet as a source?

I'm not a street savvy kinda guy!!

How do you deal when a vendor sends a package that looks downright suspicious? Didn't get in any trouble, but my neighbor definitely commented on the "shady package" that showed up last week.

Off the top of my head I told her that I freelance as a pc/laptop repair guy, and people try to cut corners all kind of ways when it comes to not paying for shipping.

Do I have to pay taxes on my bitcoin purchases if some are tied to my real identity? I know some states like New York are trying to regulate the bitcoin scene to collect capital gains taxes...

What market does Evolution base its BTC prices on?


[3 Points] thekillerdynamo:

How paranoid should I be considering I only buy small amounts of cannbis? I read horror stories about CDs, search warrants, jailtime etc, but would LE really go through all that trouble over me buying 3.5g of cannabis? I understand cannabis is still illegal, but what's the likelihood here?

What happened to blue sky market?

I made my first order Saturday.

I used tor and localbitcoins. Sent from lbc to evo.

Did not encrypt my messages to a level 5 vendor.

I feel like im pretty ok. One friend who got me in to this says im fine and people overdo the encrypt, tumble, pgp, all that jazz and its safer then those people think.

My other friend says im literally asking to be caught.

So am I boned or what? I really dont think so but hey this is moronic Monday.

So which vendors are offering the discounted "Holiday" shipping rates I'm seeing on the news tonight?


[2 Points] lrpaterson:

Does anyone have a list of flagged countries as far as customs are concerned?

I know, from casual conversation with postal employees (USA), that most international mail comes from China, and they have told me it seems to be opened about 5% of the time. Thailand on the other hand, seems to always be opened. Canada, oh Canada, never or very rarely gets opened.

So does anyone have a specific list of where is it hard to ship to from where?


[2 Points] dnm_vendor_thrwy:

I'm shipping a product from the U.S. to Canada for the first time and I need to know which usps service to use so that a signature won't be required. My customer just wants the mailman to leave it at the door. Do I use priority mail international, priority mail express international, or the other one, global express or whatever? If anybody has experience with this, help would be very much appreciated!

Also, my customer is using an empty, for-sale home to accept the package, so he says I can just put whatever name I want on the shipping label. Is he being stupid? Will usps, canada post, or customs flag/search this package? I'm very confident in my stealth, just worried about the use of a drop house like this.

Is it suspicious to open a mailbox ?


[1 Points] noitsnotmyrealname:

I put in an order the other week and the vendor has stopped answering my messages and is only logging in every few days.

The money for the order is in escrow and I have not finalized. I know he's not going to send the package and is trying to scam me. Can support refund the money without the vendor logging in? What steps can I take to get the money from the order back in my wallet? How long can something like this take?

How dangerous is buying Counterfeit money of the darknet is?? I know it is as dangerous as buying LSD or anything else.

My questions is, will the LE pay more attention to anyone who is trying to obtain CM ?? even in small amounts.

Or they simply don't care about small amounts being purchased??
