Hello everyone. So I got here. And have read a few words from a certain pirate. And he advised me to say hi here. It's nearly as exciting as a first day at new school or something :P
I've also read some basic information about escrow system, bitcoins, shipping. I'm hungry for handy knownledge, and becoming one of you, the best way I can. Oh, I also got here for some shroomies :)

Advice: Before buying, READ F*CKING EVERYTHING and make sure you understand everything

welcome on board

Thanks for the advice derry ;) I will sure remember it, for now, I'll just have to exchange money to account and I don't know what will I do with my home address for shipping yet, but.. I just want to buy shrooms, so it's the least thing sniffer dogs would be trained for. I think. We'll see. For sure, I'd pick only trusted vendor and be veeery careful. Only educating myself for a few days and only then start to buy stuff.

Most importantly NEVER FE.
-
learn something on pgp also, you didn't mentioned it :)
-
hmm, I know what FE is, however, pgp still sounds like nothing to me. Could you explain?
-
You need to encrypt personal information when you need to send it to someone, like your address when you want to buy something :)
never send personal information in clear text.

pgp still sounds like nothing to me. Could you explain?
Welcome
Pgp is a way to encrypt your personal info that you will be sending to a vendor, it looks more difficult than it is.
Use this link to learn about PGP and also will be a link to downlad. (Its newbie friendly)

Here is a link to the newbie PGP club where you can practise encrypting and decrypting messages:

yeah hello!

welcome aboard matey
two general rules to follow: never FE (but sometimes it's all right, which brings us to...) read everything you can about a vendor before buying. And read it on the forums! They are more reliable than feedback on vendor page.
and if you're nervous about mail at all, read this: today at 12:00 pm a man with glasses, a beard, a dr. pepper shirt, and jeans rang my door bell. said i have a package for*********** i said ok.. he handed me a red slip to sign i said no.. he said ok. and left.. was this a CD or was my postman just not in uniform..... i have one hour to decide if i should go to post office and get it...... what shal i do
What's the use of masking your name when you're describing the exact outfit the 'potential' undercover cop was wearing; and what he looked like...
Food for thought.
TheGhost makes a good point, if it was in fact a controlled delivery. Probably it wasn't if he gave up that easily. That and the outfit makes me think he's just a normal postal worker who just doesn't give a fuck, and gets hundreds of signatures a day. BUT go with your instinct. Don't risk what you aren't willing to lose.
In the meantime, check out this thread: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=165838.0
happy buying!

I said hi, but after this and few big topics read (A note from a postal worker also ;)) - Fortunately I live in a kind of a community that I don't worry about my postman that I know quite good. But still, I will remain very careful, thanks.
I completely forgot about the forums and now I see there are few unread replies to my greeting. It is a neglect from my side cause I want to be a full member for sure. What does it take to become one? Thanks to all of you for the advices. I am now after 7 fully successful purchases and spend 2.5 bitcoin. Of course started small. Good for me. I also learned how to use PGP. I am very happy with this site, I must write more on forums If I want to write outside the newbie discussion. And I want it very much.
-
Now I see how to become a full member - magic number 50. So I am starting to read and write now.

I am not a native English speaker but I can handle it for sure. If you quoted this and I had to read this one more time, it means something. I will do as you say, thanks.
