Make yourself a little black book while you still can.

I've been simply asking my trusted vendors to deal with me outside of the markets. You can send them an encrypted message through the market's messaging system asking if they'd be cool with that. None have said no so far. (Of course, I've had a successful transaction with them first.) I don't have a problem sending them BC first because I trust them. Soon I'll have no reliance on the markets at all.

Yeah I missed the boat for doing this when sr1 went down :(

If you have an android phone, "surespot" is a peer to peer 256bit-encrypted messenger that I've used to communicate with a few vendors. If a message is deleted, it deletes from BOTH phones.

PGP is windows-95 era. 'nuff said

Besides ensuring no further business from you, what's to stop them from never sending the package after you pay? That's the purpose of these undependable markets. I think dealing outside of the market is a good idea but would you use some escrow service or would you just go off trust?

does anyone happen to have the contact info for the french seller "demoniak" on TM?


[1 Points] None:

Do you deal in bulk, or are vendors willing to work with you outside of marketplaces even for smaller stuff?

lol @ my comment that got -11. it's true though these dark net black market onion sites are just that, BLACK MARKETS. You have to act accordingly, these sites aren't eBay or Amazon these sites can be seized or shut down whenever the owners of such sites please. Maybe it's just me but believe it's healthy to have a little bit of paranoia and prepare for the worst
