For vendors. What do you use as a return address? Also, if you put a random place down outside of your district will the post office notice that and think it's suspicious? Thanks!

Hey gents! Still reading and trying to figure this all out. Almost there but is there a sticky someone can't point me too. Still confused on terms like clean wallet vs dirty wallet, really confused on bitcoin part.

If a person were hypothetically to want to make a small purchase (<$100) of a Schedule I substance, how much effort should they take in trying to anonymize their purchase of Bitcoin? How important is it and what are some good practical solutions? Should an in-person transaction be arranged through a site like localbitcoins.com, paying cash? Or should there even be that much concern about purchasing the bitcoins through an exchange with your personal credit card? How are these bitcoin exchanges required to respond to government agencies inquiring about the transactions they process? I'm sure it depends on the country they're based in.

What is the best way to maintain email privacy? I know the best thing to do is using non us or UK complies services, however, how can one give a regular email (gmail) that will direct the mail to a secure service?

The reason I ask is it would be hard to give out an email to most people that isn't @gmail.com compared to something like privacyemail.com because I have had trouble giving out non common domain emails via phone, etc.

Or is it just easier to use gmail etc services if you don't have anything super sensitive to protect. I don't use email for peer to peer conversations, but I do use it for sign up forms, online orders, etc.

multiple people report their USPS box looking like it had been open by one of the biggest domestic vendors on AB.

He has some stealth - and the boxes he uses are a little goofy to get together. Would it prevent you from future orders? He does have best pricing, throws in plenty of extras, etc.
