[OPSEC/Computer] Possible to take care of Vendor Duties on mobile/smartphone?

Does anyone do this?

Possibly by using ORBOT/ORBWEB and maybe an encrypted messaging service to talk to customers?

It's possible but I would stay well away from ORBOT. It's not even recommended for buyers let alone vendors. It's not as secure as TOR and as I vendor I would recommended you take every precaution you can. Everyone's OPSEC is slightly different but it's not a good idea to use your phone to take care of you vendor duties.

You would have to be insane to do this.

That sounds like a pretty bad idea. I'd just buy a small netbook.

If I were a vendor, I wouldn't touch the DNMs with anything that's not open source and strongly vetted by the community. Otherwise there is no guarentee that it's secure. Personally, I would only use TAILS booted from a burner laptop for all communication/interaction. You're literally putting your life at stake when you become a vendor. At that point, for me, there would be no such thing as too much OPSEC.

BBMC is all about doing business over Android. Sounds like shitty opsec to me.

Possible but incredibly stupid unless your end goal is to get your booty taken in the penitentiary by a big black dude.

Mobile hotspot feature on your phone then use a real computer no real way around it.

Hank just surespotted me to say he was arguinng with some berk in this tread.

"I'm in that tread too. What do US vendors use to chat to their customers? A market's server and messaging system?"

DNMs are for finding customers. Once we trust each other, we airlift them off onto surespot. I get instant feedback, they can place orders when I'm eating in McDonalds. I know what music they like, which vendors are good and which ones are dodgy.

If they're going a bit mental or having a long dark night of the soul, I can dispense sage advice. They can see my new distillation apparatus. It takes 2 minutes to make and pay for an order. We can speak to Evo mods and make them promise to post straight after us.

The evolution market investigation is being run from Hong Kong via surespot by BlackTracker Jr. He's cool, but his dad's a manipulative, tyranical control freak, who just had to involve himself. But at least we know that Evos owner won't get away.

I kind of regret telling him about surespot now. He's all about the mind games.

I'm back vending tomorrow, while Blacktracker pops & junior start bending Evolution Marketplace owner's mind

Even if you remote into a netbook it's still risky, buy yourself a cheap notebook in cash.
