I've read the 'The complete All-in-one-Guide on how to be anonymously at SR (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=15383.0).
So I got really helpful information but I am asking if the high expenditure of being anonymous is really necessary, especially if I 'just' want to buy a small amount of LSD, which is quite harmless to ship.
I mean of cause the more you try to be anonymous the more security you get. But is it really risky to deal on SR with your own PC (without a liveUSB) and buying Bitcoins not at MT.Gox and with your real contacts.
I just want to try LSD once, I am not interested in risky drugs like cocaine and others... Can I assume the risk?
-
Well, you can always try it then write to us from the stammer if it doesn't work out...
Sorry just busting your balls lol. Dealing with this kind of Shie it is better to be safe than sorry, jmo
-
Yeah the way i see it is, however small the chance of getting busted is it is still there. would you rather skimp on not even a few hours of work to reduce the chance by as much as you can?

"I just want to try LSD once" he says. XD
I just wanted to experience mdma one more time. 3? months and who knows how many hundreds of dollars later, I'm still here. Learn encryption and take every precaution you can. :P

I'd suggest using a better program than just the tor bundle, such as this : http://sourceforge.net/projects/advtor/?source=directory
It is more advanced and not for the average novice, but if security is your goal, you're going to be better off than just using the TOR BUNDLE. However, no amount of encryption is going to hide you from a ISP subpoena to collect all of your information. ISPs will ALWAYS hand over everything when asked, or they force being shut down. The hand of big brother is strong these days. Post 9/11 freedom and privacy do not exist. When CISPA passes next week, they wont even need an information request, they will collaborate with each other 100%.
nothing is better than the orginal tor bundle and brain.exe
ohh i have forgotten a private tor bundle bridgge with your best friends is better :)

LE normally attacks the weakest link in a chain - that is probably low level users. Once they get busted they
infiltrate the network and wait for a big fish to make a mistake.
You make SR a better place by taking your security seriously. That's my opinion anyway.

Ofc your right, sorry for my stupidness!
I will follow all advices how I can improve my security.
There's just one question which I still have:
A couple of weeks ago I read some SR guidelines (don't know which exactly) .. anyhow, I have read that SR uses some encoding at transffering Bitcoins from BTC exchanges (Mt.Gox etc.) to the SR wallet. Am I wrong?
I acted probably a bit to quick, because I bought already some Bitcoins at a german BTC market. At this BTC market I have an account with my real contacts.
Are this Bitcoins useless if I want to use them for SR when I want to be anonymous?
If so, aren't there some ways to make these Bitcoins anonymous?
-
As there were no new answers since my last reply I found on my own:
using Bitcoinfog would be a way to make my Bitcoins anonymous. Is this enough?
It's also often recommended to shuffle Bitcoins, but I don't know how to do that effectively.
Create some new addresses at my Bitcoin programm and transfer them to each other?
-
I didn't mean to sound condescending in my earlier post. Buying bitcoins from a verified address is ok in my opinion - as long as your just buying for personal use.
After that use a service like instawallet; https://www.instawallet.org/w/iIDIOCZIgAIStFAo0B_XoA
You can move to a Mt. Gox account after that etc. etc. Or you could just use a service like BitCoin fog;

Your remark is full of wisdom. Following your piece of advise would definitely grant SR with responsible people.

I think I read somewhere that the whitehouse has publicly stated they will veto CISPA if it passes.

I know about bitcoinfog now.
The thing I don't get is how to withdraw them. Should I withdraw them directly to the SR address or should I first transfer them back to my eWallet??
To be anonymous I should transfer them directly from bitcoinsfog to SR, shouldn't I?
-
bitcoinsfog to SR is the best way to do it
