Moronic Monday - it's your weekly stupid questions thread!

Hey /r/DarkNetMarkets , it is time for Moronic Monday!

Post your question - stupid or otherwise - here to get an answer. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don't get a lot of action, so if your question didn't get answered before, feel free to post it again.

If you are a noob, check out our comprehensive FAQ; it is essentially a guide for buying from a DarkNet Market. You may also find it helpful to take a look at our informative community posts, which are full of valuable information and tips.

We do ask that you refrain from abusing noobs in this thread. Remember that everyone had to start somewhere.

P.S. Check out /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs, where it is Moronic Monday everyday!

How do you search vendors on evo? SERIOUSLY am I over looking it?

Would there be anything safer/more anonymous about mining bitcoins with one of the self contained miners rather than purchasing them?


[2 Points] Voldewarts:

Lets say everything goes tits up. Tor is compromised, attacks permanently disable it, and markets are fucked or riddled with LE. How would I establish a connection with long term trusted vendors, outside of markets? Would clearnet email with PGP encryption be enough?

Preparing for first purchase and would like to confirm my process:

Purchase BitCoin using clearnet on Coinbase with real name, bank account, etc.
Create Helix account using Tor browser.
Send BitCoin from Coinbase wallet using clearnet to Helix for tumbling
From Helix, send newly minted coins to market of choice
Message vendor using PGP, confirm purchasing agreement with them
Send BitCoin via market wallet to vendor BitCoin address
Send PGP encryted address to vendor (which will be real name, address, etc)
Await package.
Profit.

Does this sound correct? If so, I only have one additional question. When it comes to using Helix, it comes with a 3% fee. Usually, a market also charges a small (0.0002 BTC) fee. When purchasing BitCoin (and only enough for my purchase from the market), I need to purchase that extra amount/percentage to offset the tumbling and market cost, right?

Am I the only one who cant get tails to boot of off a usb? Just spent 4 hours trying to get it to work. The best I can find is that apparently universal USB installer is using syslinux 4.0 and the newest tails build requires 6.0. I have no idea how to manually install the syslinux files or install the iso manually. sorry if this is the wrong place to post, just want to get on agora and evo already!

How does one tell where a vendor ships from on Evo while searching through listings?


[2 Points] senator-buttplug:

What is the point of using LocalBitCoins? I ask because:

  1. If you intend to tumble your coins, why not just get them from coinbase?
  2. The LocalBitCoins FAQ states that Tor is not recommended for non-tech-savvy users.

"LocalBitcoins has witnessed abnormally high attack rates against Tor users. Tor exit nodes intercept HTTPS traffic by doing HTTPS man-in-the-middle attacks with self-signed certificates which are accepted by non-educated users"

I know it's Christmas time and the Royal Mail is struggling. But is it normal for a package to take 11 days? UK Domestic? I'm checking feedback for the vendor and other buyers that ordered same day or after are receiving their packages. Quite a large order and the vendor doesn't offer refund or reship. And they are on holiday until the 6th :|

What is tails? Super stupid question


[2 Points] allthatwebb:

Can I use these markets for buying things other than drugs? Such as a fake ID. Sorry for the noobidity of the question, haven't been around this kind of stuff much.

How dangerous is it to be ordering half-ounces and less through a DNM? Im considering low-time dealing to be able to smoke for free, and the prices online beat anything i can get around me. $95 for a half-ounce is insane. How safe is it for me to ship that straight to my house? i still live with my parents, but im home in time to get to the mail before they do. Should i be worried at all?


[1 Points] PryvatePigeon:

Recently started using evolution since silk road is down. Does it normally take an entire day to process an order? It's said "processing" since this morning. Also how safe is it to post/lurk on here from a browser other than Tor?


[1 Points] inserthrowawayname:

I tend to write really long and wordy posts, but lucky for you I deleted everything I wrote and I'm gonna keep this (somewhat) concise:

  1. Anybody ordered with OrangeHill on Agora? Cause it's been over a week and there's no package. He only logs in every few days, he didn't respond to my first message, and I really don't want to have to open a dispute just because I couldn't get in touch with him.

  2. I'm actually not as worried as I was, because I logged in just now after finding nothing in the mailbox and it seems the auto-finalize time has been reset. Does this have something to do with Agora being down or is there some other explanation? (Sorry if this was already discussed, I was busy and only read about Agora being down yesterday in passing.)

Is "Medsguru" on Agora safe? He does FE only and I just bought from him, he has reputation I think and a huge inventory.

Why booting twils if I can boot Ubuntu from a pendrive while connecting on a public network like Starbucks?

If is a risk Ill use Tails, just want to know the level of risk on that scenario.

Everyone says mdma washed in acetone will look off white but what I've seen is more like a light tan/brown color. Is it possible for an acetone wash to yield mdma that looks light tan or brown?


[1 Points] splein23:

I had a sheriff parked outside my house the day I received a package from the Netherlands, should I be worried about my house being under permanent surveillance?

Also, where's a good place to go to learn how to become a vendor? ie: how to ship, how to gain a good reputation, etc...

Can I have my regular Firefox Browser Working when using Tor - or should I close it out completely and only use Tor for that period of time?

What in the fuck is going on here? Anyone know how this works? Saw it on the front page of agora:

PAY 50% AND GET FULL REFUNDS - !!!!!! 332.26 USD AMAZON REFUNDS: PAY 50% AND GET FULL REFUNDS -

How does this work?

1.Decide on your product

2.You will place your order on amazon ( items must be fullfilled or sold by amazon -

3.After you receive the item , you pay me 50 % of the item's value and I will refund the money within 3-4 days maximum.

So there are 2 types of services : 1. simple refund = 50% of the product price ( products can be sold by any company but must be fulfilled by amazon) 2. receiving another identical item + refund = 90% of the product price (products have to be sold and fulfilled by amazon)

The method is NOT ILLEGAL . You can use your own account and also past transactions.
