I will continue to keep warning people about the feds virusing tor updates. Be cautious guys.

FAKE NEWS FLASH

We ARE the people the authorities warn the public about....


[2 Points] _PrinterPam_:

  1. Do your due diligence on official market links
  2. Save/bookmark links and never, ever follow ones from the web again.
  3. Don't re-use passwords across markets (2FA mitigates this concern).
  4. Use 2FA (test with little-to-no-balance on account in case you fuck up).
  5. Research vendors carefully.
  6. Deposit only what you need to make a purchase.
  7. Encrypt your order info locally (on your own machine).
  8. Make purchases as soon as your funds become available.
  9. Never tell a soul where your drugs are coming from.
  10. Make secure backups of critical info (PGP/wallet keys, passwords, links, etc.) and update it whenever something changes. Sadly, this is one of those lessons which must be learned the hard way. Hard drives fail, coffee gets spilled, etc.

What about a gold plated USB key you can wear around your neck that has an encrypted file container with your Monero wallet.dat? You could make a Truecrypt hidden volume for the plausible deniability factor then have the rest of it just be pictures of your dog or something.
