How necessary is tails?

I've read multiple guides that don't say anything about it and I've also heard people say that it's nice but not completely necessary, particularly if you're only purchasing an ounce of weed or less. Also, I don't remember ever hearing about it before a few days ago. I know there's no such thing as being to paranoid when it comes to this stuff, but honestly, how likely is it that something will go wrong without it? What do you all think?

If you're even talking about the quantity of weed you're buying, then what you're saying is that it doesn't matter whether you get caught...

Anyway TAILS isn't exactly necessary, it just makes it easier to get things right. If you really know what you're doing you don't need TAILS... but if you really knew what you were doing you wouldn't need to ask.

You can't be too carefull.

How necessary is your freedom?

It makes me cringe when I see someone say "it's only" followed by what they're sourcing or how little they're sourcing. They will bust your ass the same if given the chance. Never let your guard down. Not preaching just saying...

Don't forget PGP too!

Everyone who didn't use it on SR and had any unshipped orders had their addresses exposed to the feds, along with the contents of any unencrypted messages.

Put simply, if you're not using Tails (or some other secure solution), you should consider your anonymity to be compromised. Is that an issue? It most definitely can be one, but if you're some random guy ordering an ounce of weed I don't think the government will care enough to go after you.

Just remember, while the chance of success may be high, the cost of failure can be your freedom. Stop being lazy and take the proper precautions.

You guys are right. Thanks for talking me out of doing something potentially stupid to save a bit of time!(:

If you're using tor correctly,you're likely ok. But tails has the added benefit of being on a read only file system running linux, making it a lot more difficult, if not close to impossible, for keyboard loggers and such to make it onto your system.

Tails makes it easier but its not bullet proof.

Quit being a fag in denial and use tails so you can start making the purveyors of pleasure rich.
