I use this subreddit alot, and ive read multiple times that the OPSEC when SR1 was the prime market was very very weak. Like users wouldn't encrypt their data and send sensitive information without any encryption among other things. I wasn't a user when SR1 was open so I have a couple question: Why didn't users make the most of their abilities to remain as anonymous as possible? Has the aura, or mood, of DNM"S changed after the fall of Silk Road?
Thank you
People learn as they go man. Also things didn't have the exposure they do now. It was like magic for awhile and now a lot of people see the trick and the magic isn't so magical. Still though with more people in your safer in a way surrounded by so many decreases the chances of being picked out.
