Like real life. Be chill. Listen to the folks who have been around. Don't say too much.

Search feature before asking questions because its prolly been asked before.

Don't ask for freebies or loans, don't be a dick, utilize decent grammar if you can, be careful, don't scam people, keep your personal data private (Law enforcement are watching)

Bare bones honest truth? Don't order until several dozen reports from active forums members start rolling in. He is using alternate accounts to claim received shipments. Like I said, wait for active forum posters to comment. Don't listen to the one off guy with 52 posts saying "yeah I got the order."

Remember, this is the deep dark web. He can take your money and be gone very easily.

Money over everything.

You have no friends here. Would you hand a stranger $500 and allow him to maybe give you weed in a few weeks?

Thanks for the warning. I'm very much on my guard around here.

Though it's a pain to find vendors that are willing to sell to a newbie without requiring FE, which I'm really not comfortable with. Hopefully I can find one soon.

mrhendrix sells coke & weed from UK without requiring newbies to FE I think.

In my opinion, no vendor should ever require or request FE from anyone. That being said, new vendors are actually not allowed to require FE, at peril of losing their selling privileges. So perhaps look for new vendors (like us, for example) who are anxious to build their feedback and customer base and will not (cannot) ask for FE. Everybody wins.

No such thing as reading/learning too much. I've been browsing the forums and learning anything I could for months now and still have yet to order. Can never be too safe, best to learn everything you can to protect yourself and the community than make a hasty purchase. Never FE, check forums for vendor reviews, PGP/GPG for ANYTHING you wouldn't want LE reading, never FE, make sure TBB is up to date, disable ALL plugins, especially javascript, avoid clearnet sites while using tor, never FE, oh, and never FE.

Knowledge is power!

First of all, don't listen to any Guest accounts. They are all members without accounts that can say whatever they want.

Second of all, act like a human being. Don't troll, don't be an asshole, don't threaten the road, don't post useless questions, and act mature.

Use Tails! (0.2.0) It has all the things you need wrapped in one.

https://tails.boum.org/download/

D/load, Verify Image with Kleopatra,(comes with GPG4Win32) and Burn .ISO to DVD..
Boot from DVD...
Configure persistent Volume (this is handy for storing files like .asc .gpg) then install to USB

Now you can Boot from USB, It's faster, and you have the choice to enable persistency each time you boot, all the data is automatically encrypted with a password of your choice.
And you can give the disc to someone else to spread the great work. ; )

Don't FE even if it's hard as a newcomer in Europe if you want something. Update Tor, use PGP and don't be stupid.
