How's the whole mail status going with NL?

so i've been casually browsing agora today when i noticed somethng that i haven't seen before.

between the offers and the box for messages at the bottom on some vendor pages there is a category called "Recent recorded actions for this user"

and under it there are 2 or 3 lines like this:

2014-06-03 13:.. ET_USER_RESTRICT :

2014-05-21 13:.. ET_USER_RESTRICT : padded feedback

or this

2014-04-15 06:.. ET_ORDER_FINALIZE
2014-03-18 18:.. ET_ORDER_FINALIZE
2014-03-15 23:.. ET_ORDER_FINALIZE

did i just not notice them before? is it a bug? or a feature?

especially the line with the padded feedback peaked my curiosity.

So a few days ago I sent some extra BTC from coinbase(rarely use coinbase) to my Agora wallet. It didn't show up within a few hours, which seemed unusual but not that out of the ordinary. There's been times where it's taken 24 hours in extreme circumstances. So I left it for the weekend. It's been over 3 days now and I just checked, it's still not credited to my Ag balance. What would you do?

With regards to needles/syringes from a regular pharmacy site;

If I buy over TAILS and Tor, is there a chance using my credit card information could weaken my anonymity?

If I buy over clearnet, will any suspicions be raised?

Would I be better of just getting the needles from a DNM?

How do you manage to get your electrum wallet to work. I have downloaded it but when I try to open it windows or linux asks me which program I want to open it with, I can never find the right one. Any suggestions / help?

Other than the possibility of being ripped off what are other risks of ordering from a new vendor and how do I mitigate them?

In order to run the latest version of the TOR browser, does TAILS have to update first?

I updated TAILS to version 1.1 around the end of July. Now a new version of TOR has been released, I downloaded it but had a hard time getting it to run properly. I kept getting the error, "TOR Unexpectedly Quit"

Can I run the latest version of TOR on this version of TAILS?

Computer hasn't been working recently. What's the best deal someone is having that I can get for up to 400$?

So I've contacted Agora earlier regarding a BTC deposit 5 days ago which hasn't shown up. They've messaged me asking "has it shown up yet?", and that's it.

Has anyone had a deposit credited to them after such a long time? I've never had any problems with AG or their support, but I'm starting to worry.
