Using TOR on my Mac with no common usernames, passwords etc to clearnet accounts. I also order bitcoins from here because there's no real way in Australia to do it anonymously so you need a real phone number and email address (to verify) to do it. Still with tumblers etc I feel like for the quantities I buy this is adequate.
-I'm planning to register a burner and tutanota email address for an account to buy bitcoins with cash in person (apparently this is not necessary as anyone is allowed to buy bitcoins and the tumblers will take care of the rest) -Run tails off a USB on an old laptop -Use PGP -Possibly use a VPN (I hear mixed reviews about this) -Ask a real estate friend for vacant houses I can use as a drop and throw him some scratch for his troubles. Or just look for some rental/sales nearby, check out the letterbox situation (is it accessible/locked etc), ring the agent and pretend I'm interested and wondering when the place will be empty, tell them I'm still looking around but to contact me if somebody else is close to signing a lease (so I can cease using that drop).
Thoughts?
My main concern is do I need to go protocol zero and throw my current mac into the ocean, or just delete TOR, clear history etc. Should I retain my existing alphabay account (so vendors trust me) or create a whole new one? Could I potentially plug my tails usb into my existing PC which I used to use TOR a few years ago, and occasional bluelight posts etc on rec drugs using clearnet?
Don't use your own phone number or email, definitely anonymous ones. Make one at a public wifi and try and only use tor in public places. Do not ask about drops to anyone, use your own drop or season a new one. Use your real name.... don't give fake names to vendors, you will most likely both get fucked eventually. It must really suck not being able to get coin without it being tied to your identity :( use a different password and account name that you've never used for anything for any new account you create on DNMS
