I think the feds are playing mind games and come into my house when I'm not there and move things around just to fuck with me.

All of the markets are compromised so LE make all markets look sketchy...except TradeRoute...I think LE are trying to make us all flock to TradeRoute by making it look like the only safe one so that they can bust everyone at the same time.
That's just my 2 satoshis.

Feds have compromised more markets and/or individual vendors and are laying low to snag more. There's no way they gave up everything they had just for one huge bust. If I were LE I would have tried to strike a deal with compromised market staff so I could try to bust the vendors. Give the staff member(s) immunity and have them quietly insert an exploit or simply ignore an existing one, monitor and capture all market transactions, and pounce when the time is right.
Let's face it, the primary goal is always the same- drug busts, disrupting the supply chain and taking down producers. The market staff are not necessarily who they want, it's just that they happen to hold the key to busting hundreds if not thousands of vendors, and by extension, suppliers and producers if they play their cards right.
They don't want small-time users like most of us are. That's why we get ignored. Unless we buy a large amount that turns a few heads, we're of no interest because the focus has always been and will always be on cutting off the head of the snake: the vendors and producers.
So strangely enough, us individual buyers are sort of safe just because they don't care. We'll probably never get prosecuted even if they have some identifying information. The reason we need to use PGP and good op-sec is not for our own safety, it's for the safety of the vendors and market staff. WE are the weak link, and people with weak op-sec are prime targets for infiltrating a DNM- how much better can your cover get if you could literally take on the identity of a real, established user? So when I see people musing that LE goes after "low-hanging fruit", damn right they do, and that's exactly how they take down whole fucking markets like they did this summer. We need to focus more on educating noobs (like myself, admittedly) so that the DNM community is less endangered and more stable overall.

I bet Meth9000 I'd eat my tinfoil hat if he could quit cold turkey. Yum....

My life has been heavily surveillanced for years, and is part of a, now rapidly, growing voyeuristic money making machine on the dark web or something. It's gotten farther than just local, but way more grand scale. It's not just creepy crawling gang stalking stuff anymore, like moving shit in my house, but it's at the point where everyone around me is in on it. My (now ex) GF, bosses and coworkers, neighbors, and family and friends.
I'm wondering how much longer I can take it, but it's very distracting and I'm too busy not being crazy to even clean my house now.
Anyone have a tinfoil hat in an XL I can borrow? mine got stolen along with my car last week, and the cops no longer have the file open...

If you are really paranoid
monitor the logs to see if anyone tries to use that unique URL.
Want to get some info on someone, send http://ipaddressofserver/somepic.jpg asking if that is them - get source IP and other info
Mods are feds, automods are autofeds, and everyone here posts willingly incriminating information because they are LE trying to make everyone bring their guard down.
