Be very careful with Valhalla, support is creating fake accounts to scam people. For instance, there's a fake MrMaserati called mr_maserati which has 1k+ positive reviews and coke for 30€/g, which is insanely obvious.

Number one rule of using Circle or CoinBaae - always tumble. This is crucial so that your account('s) do not get terminated. Although tumbling takes up more time, its well worth it. Otherwise, there's always a possibility of termination and always will be. Taking precautionary measures is always good OPSEC.

How bad is it for me not to use tor nor any kind of proxy or even a VPN to post here?

Sure, when I'm about to make an illegal move I use tor, but whats the worst thing that could come off from shitposting from my cellphone? That LE saves my IP? So what? My IP changes every time I move 10 meters, and even if it remained static the number itself cannot tell you anything more than I am in a South American country. Besides, they already have a big IP list of everyone posting here and there are way more bigger fish to catch around here than a 20-something years old that visits pornhub way too much.

I ordered three packages in relatively close succession to my PO box from different sources, and none of them arrived. I'm in the United States. The packages contained small quantities of unscheduled RCs that may be covered by the Federal Analog Act. I've had a wide variety of substances delivered to this box in the past with no issue. My questions:

  1. Is it reasonable to assume that my PO box has been flagged, or 'burned' by law enforcement?
  2. If so, does this mean that any destination linked to my name has also been flagged/burned? For example, my home address, or a private mailbox in my name?
  3. Should I be worried? I've done a pretty good job of covering my tracks in researching, ordering, and paying for materials so I'm pretty sure the only thing tying me to the deliveries is their physically being mailed to me. If I'm ever confronted by LE and this is all they have on me, am I likely to get away with it as long as I keep my mouth shut?
