Title: Newby Buyer Questions plzzzz
Post by: desazius on January 24, 2013, 07:50 pm
Either im too stupid or i just plainly cant find it  :-[

I have hardly any understandin of how to use SR as a buyer. im new and wish  to make my first purchase.
Iunderstand there is a guide of some sort or some helpful text i can read up on SR, but cant find a link to it,
Kinda got the gist of it, but the whole encryption thing is just mind bogoling and its making me teare my eyes out.

appologies if have said anything not supposed too  :-\

please can someone point me in the right direction
thanks
desa

Google to find a TOR bundle

Download that and install

Google Silk Road URL

cut and past into Onion browser tht comes with tor bundle

so that take you to the store

you now need bit coins - come back for that when you are set with TOR

Theres a good guide on the subreddit silkroad

Basically, the easiest way is to use bitinstant to transfer cash(if you are in the usa) to bitcoins.

Then use your bitcoins to buy things you can smoke or snort or swallow

and use PGP to encrypt your address

I believe the buyers guide is what you were referring to and it's located here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/buyers_guide

After that you can see some more information about encryption via pgp stickied at the beginning of this forum and also there are a number of tutorials in the security section.  If you navigate to the security section and use the search function on the top right side of the page you should find them relatively quickly.
