Hello everyone, 

We have been pretty absent since the whole evolution debacle. We wiped our previous 

account for security reasons. These past two weeks have been especially troublesome. Our Dn Setup hit the dust, and to top it off, when we 

went to get our back up key, the back up drive had been corrupted. There is one silver lining to this story, we do have our Original PGP     key, 

which we will be using moving forward. We are hoping that our past customers can verify that this is indeed us. We just want a smooth 

transition for our customers ease of mind on a security standpoint :) We have worked with all markets, except agora due to the down time,     to 

regain access to our accounts. Big shout out to Middle Earth here, Multiple security checks as well as fast to reply. We will be setting up shop 

within a couple of days with a "post 420 sale" in light of our absence :) 

Toke on and Happy 420 reddit,

Tor Collective

Could you please sign your new key with the old key to verify your signature. Currently, this signature does not check out against the one listed on agora.

Amateur hour once again from TC...

I don't recommend people use this vendor, because their OPSEC leaves much to be desired. I will not elaborate so as not to make the situation worse, but they have made some really, really boneheaded mistakes.

I have plenty of respect for TC and what they do, but I have serious concerns about how they do it, and how that may impact their customers, as well. I like to think that I'm fairly well-known and trusted, here, so hopefully some folks will heed my warning.

I strongly recommend that TC retire their current pseudonym(s) and start with fresh one(s), implementing diligent OPSEC in their operations from day 1 with the new nym(s). And maybe some proper data backups, too (the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, on 2 different types of media, with 1 copy offsite in another location). The cost of losing their reputation is much higher now than it was when they first came on the scene. I still feel that it is the wise thing for them to do.

Take that as you may. Love and blessings to TC and all their customers, and here's to a more secure future for all.

TC, I'm glad to see you've figured out how to format PGP messages correctly on Reddit, since the last time. ;-)

Glad to see you back. What are you going to have listed? I missed out on the shatter last time around.

I can verify this is the real torcollective. This is there original key they used on Evo. I've been doing business with TC since he first came to Evo. He's a stand up vendor.
