OK! So you guys gave me a good dose of reality on my post earlier (thanks for that). I wouldn't do well in prison.
I have been on the darknet for a good amount of time, first market I ever used was BlackBank, and I've bought drugs face to face maybe 5 times ever. I understand Netsec (admittedly I had a brain fart when initially screwing with the burner phone, home WIFI was straight retarded), but I have now realized I'm shit at Opsec.
I want to do retail sales of drugs that I flip from the DNM. I would prefer to be a distributor, but I don't have a network for that yet. Never sold drugs before. I know how to buy coin safely, use drops for shipments, browse the markets without leaving evidence, pretty much everything a person could know about buying. Selling, on the other hand....
How should I communicate with my customers? Obviously using my own phone is a horrible, horrible idea. But my customers don't want to fuck with PGP, Signal, wickr, anything that could even remotely help improve their own security. Everyone just wants to text a number and get their shit. Is the move honestly to get a burner phone and chill with it in McDonalds all day? Or is it safe enough to just use the burner alongside my regular phone, and swap numbers every once and a while/when the heat is up?
Any/all tips are appreciated.
EDIT: Spelling
Get a cheap disposable phone with cash (don't get tracfone) and keep the battery out unless you are using it. Only use it in spots that are not close to your home/work/school. Try not to make a pattern of when you use it, try to use as little incriminating words as you can and try to use it just to set up a face to face.
But of course you aren't el chapo so you probably don't need to be that careful.
