Been here a week trying to get a grasp on everything. Not sure if this belongs here

Okay ill try keep this brief. I have some questions about DNMs and after a week of reading so much my brain hurts and attempting to download tails i think i have enough understanding to formulate coherent questions.

The only thing needed (bare minimum, disregard security) to order from a vendor is Tor, the ability to send BTC, and ability to encode PGP and (also encrypt?)

Tails and electrum is just to cover your tracks, correct?

If my above understandings are correct then here are my questions: 1) If i cant for the life of me get tails to install, can i proceed without it if i disregard safety?

2) ive seen the vendors and made accounts. all the personal information if i were to send and make a purchase to vendor would be sent in encrypted pgp correct?

3) how many people dont use tails

4) how bad is it if i cont use tails for small transactions

Thanks in advance and i accept all cautionary tales about why i should finish the tails procedure. Just try to keep in mind after dealing with all this technical computer stuff for a week and having all sorts of compatability issues right when you progress has weighed me down mentally and motivationally. I can also tell how close i got to getting tails for whoever is wondering

We shouldn't be making it easy for people to buy off the Darknet. There should be a tricky learning curve for everyone.

If you don't have the self control to learn this basic stuff how do we know you have the self control to not ruin your life with such easy access to drugs?

Back in my day, I had to walk 20 miles in snow up to my waist, uphill in each direction, just to get seeds and stems. You young'uns these days ain't got no idea how good you got it!

OP.....I will try to help you get all of this sorted out my friend :-) Below are 2 how to guides on how to buy....This info can be applied to any market on the DNM :-)

I do not use Tails to order, as I do not like that version of PGP, but that is just my personal choice :-) The guide on PGP is the version I use, I keep it with me all the time, you never know when you may need it & be away from your laptop / desk top. I've never had a pack never make it to me, so yes, you will be just fine.

If you have anymore questions, Pm me & I will get back to you as soon as I can. :-)

Have you been on /r/darknetmarketsnoobs yet? That's really the starting point and a good place for questions.

Tails really isn't that hard to figure it out. I'm not a computer savvy person at all and I got it. The hardest part for me was reconfiguring my boot order. If you can follow directions, you can figure it Iout.

If not being able to set up software is causing you mental/motivational problems you might want to see a therapist instead of taking lots of drugs.
