Title: Where did u hear about SR ?
Post by: DrWalterB on June 15, 2013, 03:15 pm
 :) to celebrate my 50 post mark lets find out where u heard about SR.

Me and a colleague read an article about it in a newspaper ! it described all the "good" stuff that was available so I just had to give it a try (without hesitation). My colleague was more skeptical and hasn't even dared make an account ;) to afraid to get busted :P
I am hoping he will be the jealous one when my first batch of goodies arrive without problems, so I am hopin the vendors I chose for round 1 of my SR experience come through.

I heard whispers here and there.  And then one day by accident I stumbled upon a youtube video with a news clip about it.  In the description there was full instructions on how to access the site :)

Got a few bits of Topix but too many scammers. Then someone on a forum mentioned it. Not looked back since.

A libertarian friend who has apparently purchased various survivalist type items. He recommended it for substances since I'm not currently in an area where reliable (read: non-shitty, non-abusive) dealers are plentiful.

This random ass dude on INSTAGRAM.

SMH at him though, he blatantly told me where he gets his sheets of acid.

At first I didnt believe him but then I googled this and found out it's a real thing. I know better to keep my mouth shut though. This site is a gem and it's literally an answer to my prayers. I've only known about it for two weeks now and it's been my happy little secret ever since.

On dozens of mainstream websites, when SR became suddenly widely known.
I thought "wow! finally a good excuse to actually learn about tor and use it, instead of just reading about it."
Glad I did! Breaking taboos and rules (carefully and thoughtfully) has been a positive experience for me most of the times! Free your head, feed your head! I more and more see things from a different angle, and see more and more things that are wrong with this system. We're all raised in a matrix-like fabricated reality, based on exploitation of human psychology (greed, vanity etc.). The system [TM] is pure (evil) genius! It can't be easily defeated, because its power is based on the nature of the dumb masses. As long as the dumb masses don't smarten up, the system will continue to work just fine for those who run it. But I digress, sorry! Blame the drugs ;-)

I found it with a random Google search a little over a year ago.  Then i saw it in Rolling Stones Magazine(i think), then it was on the TV show Person of Interest.  Chuckled both times cause I was already a member   ;D

Internet advertisement via media.  I had heard about it, but until I saw it on the news, i didn't really believe it.  Since then I had been trolling researching it's validity.  For a while then i knew it was legit but didn't decide to get my feet wet until recently, thinking, if i don't do it now i'm going to miss out.  I'm so happy I did.

Was coming down from MDMA, my stash was about used and wondered where to find the drugs now. Had been out of game for a while, and no good connects left, thought that I might have to go raving to find the right people, but then I started to google . . .  ;D

I think it was from a conversation on Reddit about the "deep dark web."  I will be honest and say that I wasn't downloading Tor that second and going for a dive (once seen you can't unsee). However...

Let me tell you how awesome it was when the front page of SR finished loading and it was like.. oh, I don't know... walking into a candy store that couldn't possibly be for real :)

I have a similar story to yours. I read it online when searching for where to get drugs in california.  I made an account and started going in asap.  All my friends got jealous at all the great products I was getting, now they all beg me to get them shit.. I hate doing that while they are soo skeptical about the whole thing.  It makes me not want to help them out. They call me stupid for trusting the whole process.

Some hacker drug type guy on omegle told me. Thank you omegle, for the hours spent discussing drugs and random shit with assholes, you rewarded me with the ability to (somewhat) securely order drugs off the internet and be part of this wonderful free community.

But also fuck you, for wasting my time with trolls and pedophiles.

A couple of years ago or so, when being anonymous online suddenly became a priority, I found TOR and used it mainly for the TorMail and to browse anonymously.  I ran into the SR, reddit, many other sites I thought it was good there was a place on the internet where people could be relatively free, but until very recently, there was nothing that I wanted/needed in onionland that I couldn't access locally.

Only in the past couple of weeks an issue has come up where I am in need of something that I do not have connections to obtain in the physical world, so I came here..   did some serious research on the various vendors, etc...   found exactly what I need..  only to find that I probably won't be able to order it right away because I've never bothered in the past to sign up for any forums, .onion sites, or make any purchases.   I have no rep that anyone here knows of.

Ahhhh...   what a long answer.. lol..  oh well..  guess at least it will count for a forum post....  ;)

It was a long time ago on, I think maybe Wired.com?  Don't think it was Gawker. Anyway I figured if I was reading about it on a regular website, it was probably too late to get in on the action.  Time went by and I heard about it again and it was still going strong.  Tor was easy to figure out, but figuring out Bitcoin, PGP, and all that by myself took a bit of work, but it makes it all worthwhile.  Long live SR!

Then again from a buddy of mine and my love's ex lol.

I learned how to crypto-everything and it was all brilliant.  Every transaction but one has been perfect ^.^
