Moronic Monday - your weekly stupid questions thread!

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

Post your questions here - stupid or otherwise - 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.

Also, please refrain from asking sourcing questions or vendor recommendations in this thread. Those posts will be removed.

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

It's been a while since I've bought from a market and all my old trusted markets seem to be gone. Where to buy from now?

I need to buy btc now. I was thinking localbtc or bitquick to do it. But the recent slow transaction and high fees leaves me wondering if it will slow down the transfer of btc to me. Is there anything to be worried about?

With all of the scamming being so prevalent is it worth the effort to learn to use the dnm? As in does the quality frequently outweigh the risk? Do you (everyone, general question here) feel that the dnm is a safer route then the old school alternative (in person)? What are the pros and cons you have personally found?

Are there many markets that use ethereum?

When I try to register for a Libertas account, I get all the way to the bottom and then it asks me to 'Solve the challenge below:' and it doesn't show an image anywhere. I briefly turned on JavaScript to no luck. Any idea? The site looks all out of order.

So typically I follow the Bible when it comes to DNM:

Buy btc from a local ATM (that requires a phone number put it for a confirmation text) and send it to a clearnet wallet on Windows. I then send it to my wallet on Tails, which is used exclusively for DNM (usually in multisig escrow situations).

For clearnet purchases, I have a CoinBase account that I use to buy and to send btc.

Today I bought btc on CoinBase and sent it to my clearnet Windows wallet, which I always use to then send btc to my Tails wallet!

Should I no longer send btc from that Windows wallet to my Tails wallet? Should I generate a new Windows wallet?

Note that I was using a VPN when I was using CoinBase, etc...not sure if that helps at all considering CoinBase has a lot of my info outside of IP address...
