I have the order info for everyone who placed their order before Sunday Night. I had held off on shipping these orders because I thought it weird/sketch that the sites are down.. and I have such a large escrow balance, that shipping all the orders, and not getting paid, would fuck me royally. (I just couldn't cover that much in losses if I the two main sites exit scammed). I figured it better to hold off... In the event it seemed like an exit scam, if I held off on shipping, I could at least sell it elsewhere, and refund all customers 50%.. split the loss. If I shipped everything, then I would eat the loss entirely, and I'm just too new to vending to afford that.
At this point, it seems quite clear to be a DDOS/TOR thing. and I'm going to go through with shipping all the orders anyways.
I hope I can get the escrow at a later date. IF I CAN'T. I hope that through this act of faith on my part, I can maintain a functioning relationship with my customer base via new/obscure sites, and/or direct sales via email. Who Knows.. we'll figure it out with time, but I wanted to update everyone as to what my deal is.
I will be checking nucleus regularly.. although I'm wary of nucleus, as it isn't being ddos'd.. and also the whole dox scare.
(what if LE doxxed the admins.. then ddos'd all other sites to force most dnm traffic through nucleus. It would be ea quick way to CLEAN UP the dnm community...) Sketch.
you use a lot of commas
if you use pgp it doesn't matter unless they implement a way to reveal your real IP
