I am a slightly older guy, having slightly-older-guy-problems in setting up and working with pgp and associated darknet market functions. Yeah I researched, yeah I tried, and yeah I could stand to be more savvy around various computer related hiccups. Someday you will be slightly older too.
it is dawning on me that really what I need is somebody to show me around a little bit. Hands on learning works well. problem being, naturally, that finding somebody to assist in these delicate matters is not so easy. I live in a mid-small college town, without more or less normal resources therof. Any ideas on where I might seek out some living-body assistance ?? Such a weird problem to have, surely there must be some solution !!
I highly recommend checking out /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs. It is an extremely thorough and helpful resource. The mods there can and will guide you through the process. They're awesome.
You can also check out all of the info in our wiki. It might be helpful, as well. I know it seems like a lot to take in, but it truly isn't that difficult once you read through all the guides.
