Should I change my DNM username from my real name?

title says it all. I use my real name (firstmiddlelast) as my username on evo, I don't really want to change it at this point because I've established purchase history which I figure will help in disputing if I'm ever scammed, but now that I think about it it seems kind of dumb. do other users even see it though? because the vendor already has my info from shipping so in that sense it shouldn't matter. I'm just a college student dealing a little mdma/lsd to my friend group and buy maybe $2-300 worth a month

Edit: lmao at these comments, you guys are hilarious

Change it to firstmiddlelast then add the last 4 digits of your social. Now you are protected

Could you possibly ask a dumber question?

"I use my real name (firstmiddlelast) as my username on evo,"

you've won mate. you've actually won the internet.


[104 Points] None:

Post your username here, let us evaluate the potential risk.


[84 Points] None:

Add a number like 123 after it, that'll throw the feds off


[81 Points] Hyoscine:

OP's a genius, this is the perfect way to establish reasonable doubt.

But it's obviously a set-up, your honour; as if I'd use my own name to order drugs online...


[82 Points] jakejohnchan:

Nah mate, just change your real life name and you're laughing.


[68 Points] WhiteCheddarAcid:

Lol is this a joke? I really hope so.


[61 Points] saystheleon:

Post of the year, upvoted.


[60 Points] DarkNetTarget:

For some reason I don't get the sense that this is a troll post, however I really hope it is.

If you are being serious I would really reevaluate what you are doing with your life..


[50 Points] None:

I... Did not think I'll ever see a question like this.. No means to offend, but its probably the dumbest thing I've heard of since kids trying to make BHO in they're mothers kitchen while using instructions from a VICE video.


[28 Points] Realitybytes_:

No, but you should have your drugs sent straight to the police station, and sell your goods on Craigslist.

Change your fucking user name clown.

How you made it to college amazes me


[17 Points] card_snark:

Everyone is ripping on you, but if your computer opsec is flawless, I don't see how the username exposes you. That said, it is not a trivial thing for a layman to have airtight info opsec. And some things are out of your control, so you're best off controlling anything you can. You can't control if the market gets compromised, and there's your neck sticking out amongst all the anonymous usernames.


[13 Points] LittleNiggerBaby:

do other users even see it though?

Pretty sure they only see you as anon. If you aren't just trolling and you were really that fucking dumb, no wait a minute, no you aren't, you're not that fucking dumb you're just trolling.


[15 Points] synikal12:

Ahem, I believe you belong in /r/darknetmarketsnoobs

YOU ARENT WORTHY OF BEING IN THIS SUB!!


[11 Points] schzap:

Yet your reddit user name isn't real....


[10 Points] UDNM:

You should change your username to username and your password to password.


[9 Points] tachibanakanade:

this is, quite possibly, the stupidest question that I have ever read. I hope the feds go easy on you.


[7 Points] 99999999999999999989:

Keep it. Don't change and do not let the haters get to you. This is perfect natural selection. Survival of the fittest is required.


[6 Points] None:

established purchase history

Vendors are actually accepting your orders? That's horrible OPSEC on your and his part.


[7 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

A username is a username. Lots of them sound like a real name.

You only know its his real name now that you know its his real name.


[8 Points] JakeFromStateFarm3AM:

Keep the name you can be our guinea pig


[8 Points] None:

Im at about a [8] right now, and reading the comments of you just eating this guy up is making me laugh so fucking hard hahaha. On a real note, that is one of the dumber questions that I have heard.


[5 Points] None:

I need to make a stronger user name for you

You shouldn't be using DNM. You have learning difficulties.

well if i saw your name the first thing i would think is "ha imagine that was his real name , what idiot would actually do that trololol" so an underestimation of stupidity might keep you safe . common sense isint so common. i thought this post was a joke at first when i read it


[3 Points] alfabi:

I can imagine your password...

[2 Points] None:

this is the stupidest shit i've ever read.


[2 Points] None:

what's more worrying here is that vendors were happy to ship.


[3 Points] don_crackavelli:

Wow what a dumb fuck, I really though I had seen a lot of stupid shit on this sub but this tops the list if it is not a troll attempt.

Lmao.

If you're in Canada you're fine selling the weed. But in America you're fucked. Throw your computer away.

In Canada police spies on you but is more involved with spying on terrorism. Shaming of private citizens coming in the next 5 years tho


[2 Points] raecarruth:

I'm not sure if you are joking or not but you just made my morning.


[2 Points] pinkprincess1:

As long as it's firstmiddlelast. Because you know if it was lastmiddlefirst, that would just be stupid.

(I'm loving this thread!)


[4 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

You dimwit kids are just parroting what you think is the bleeding obvious as usual, without thinking it through.

Loads of you have your real name, or something from your real life in your username. Just as many have somebody else's real name as your username, unless politicians and actors and that kid you hate are all buying drugs in a pseudononymous environment with pseudononymous crypto currency.

I know this because I'm a vendor, so I see your username and your real name. But until that moment, its just another username. The only time Law Enforcement will know that your username is also your name, is when they find out your real name somehow,

Think about your own real name for a minute. There are thousands with that name,. The police will have to kick all their doors in, find no drugs, then pay for a locksmith and a gift basket.

Aspiring rock bands spend weeks arguing over their name, but band names are stupid, and irrelevant.

If the person who started this thread is at danger of arrest, so is the president of the united states. He's got good feedback from vendors on agora.

The moment police link your username and real name, they have your drug purchase history, whether they are the same or different.

Arguing about drug market usernames or band names is like dancing about art:-

it doesn't make sense. Pointless. So pack it in you feckless retards. Nothing is going to happen to Ryan..

[1 Points] YouAndWhatArmyx:

omg lol


[1 Points] shiddabrik:

You're dumb, OP.


[1 Points] Hayk_Vosgi:

What level of danger are you really in? Low. Unless you plan to become a public figure or expect someone to dig dirt up on you.

What should I do? Take a good bong rip and chill. Security doesn't work retroactively. What's done is done.

Will LE pursue me? If they get a chance, yes. But not based on your username - that will only serve as additional evidence after you've been already caught with the goods. Your description indicates personal use - not worth wasting scarce LE IT resources.

Is it okay to do it then? No, because it lowers overall DNM security and makes it a softer target as a whole. Nobody's going to cast a fishnet if all they're gonna get are a few small trouts. As soon as complacency makes such an approach viable however, it will be used.

low. hanging. fruit.


[1 Points] sharpshooter789:

You really should change it and ask evo staff to actually delete. This mistake could cost you your freedom since you are the low hanging fruit LE frequently targets.

edit upon further thought I can't tell if your a troll or just plain stupid. Why anyone ever think its a good idea to use real personal info on an illegal site. This is just a bad was s drug dealer wearing a sign stating so.
