Hi DNM, I've recently hypothetically made the decision to become a vendor, but not on a DNM. I have been lurking here for awhile trying to learn as much as I can, I finally have a little machine set up and I was wondering if you could rate my security from my computer set up through sending to the customer. I'm not trying to advertise I am just trying to make sure that I am safe, I will not even tell you guys what I am selling.
As of right now I have a new laptop running TAILS which obviously uses the TBB to connect to the internet. I haven't exactly figured out which email service I will be using to communicate yet (recommendations?). Of course, I will be using PGP when emailing customers. I have javascript disabled in my browser.
I plan on using bitcoin, WU, and MG to accept payment (no id). As of right now, this is where I feel I am the most vulnerable (accepting WU and MG). For that reason I will give better deals to those who use bitcoin.
To receive my product I will be opening a mailbox under a false name with false documentation. I've heard that this is normally not recommended because of the charges that can go along with this. But because of the amount of product I will be receiving I think it will be important to have it not be linked to my name. I also have somewhat on an "in" at the place I will be receiving my product so I know it will go smoothly setting up the box and picking up my things.
My shipping will be domestic only with very average looking boxes. Nothing out of the ordinary. What are you recommendations for shipping safely? I'm somewhat worried about video cameras recording me shipping all the time. Is that a concern? Also I plan on using a false return address from a town thats very close by. Is that a stupid idea?
Sorry for the long read, but what do you think guys? How fast will I be caught? Where are my vulernabilities and what would you recommend I do to improve my safety. All hypothetical of course. Stay safe.
put down a real address for the return- obviously not yours but just a random one, fake anything is what raises questions, dont underestimate mailman's memories.
