Title: What do you tell your...
Post by: kssr on January 20, 2013, 09:25 am
...friends?

Do your friends know SR exists and that you purchase from it? If not what's your alibi?

Super well connected cousin right here  8)

Dunno if such thread exists yet.. but chime in newbies and oldies!

I tell them it comes in the mail from a good friend I met in The Netherlands, which is half true.
Part of the fun of SR is the outlandish stories you can make up about were you source it.

Mine is similar to such, my cousin knows a guy who works in Holland who can source "the best E on the planet" haha.

I wouldn't have any problems telling them but most of them aren't savvy enough to even understand how to install TOR so I doubt I'd bother.

With drugs come lies and deceit somewhere down the line, so might as well come up with amazing stories on how you obtain some of them!

I tell them I'm a vendor who makes SR money and they won't even let me post on my own threads until I get 50 posts. My friends are all DEA and local cops who think I'm joking. Seriously, I like not seeing all the spam & scam all over the subforums. For the amount of time I've been vending I should have well over 50 by now.

Doesn't SR have a SR Vendor sub category vendors get put into? Thus removing the newbie status and <50 requirement?

Title: Re: What do you tell your...
Post by: Vlad Tepes on January 20, 2013, 11:53 am
I'm not sure if it removes the 50 post requirement. I've been told to ask inigo for vendor status and there is an option somewhere in your forum account to apply for vendor membership as a forum user. It's been a few days since I've contacted inigo, and week(s) since I applied through the request link. I've also been told to ask DPR, which seems like the right way and the only one I haven't tried yet. I don't really mind having to make 50 posts since every post I make plugs my vendor thread and SR profile.

My friend is the one who initially told me about SR, so of course he knows I use it. He's just too lazy to do it himself and too scared to receive mail.

I've told a few people, I don't see how it's any different than telling someone about a dealer, etc. I don't think the people I've told are tech savvy enough to even bother trying to get on here anyway.

Most of my drug inclined friends know about it. None have ordered though. One guy who takes even more drugs than me is close but I'm scared because he might fuck it up and get caught without an alibi.

Post by: JohnMaddox on May 12, 2013, 10:17 pm
I was thinking about this today before I came across the thread and my conclusion was no one should ever know.  It only takes one person to say the wrong thing and you could be screwed.  Funny that this thread showed up today and I'm glad many other people feel the same way about not telling anyone.  My purchases are for me only so I really don't have anyone that would be asking me anyway.

Sometimes I just make a joke that my superpower is the ability to make drugs spontaneously appear.
Most of the time though, I'll say I know a guy who comes from out of state and takes a week to get here.
A friend and I both discovered SR on our laptops reading the same &TOTSE thread in his basement, so he's the only other person I know of that's aware of SR but we're partners in crime/non-crime and have kept our shit airtight when talking to police on more than one occasion.
I honestly don't think I know anyone else who would even understand how SR works so it's useless to try and tell anyone. Besides the obvious reasons. If SR was popular the world over, I'd just start robbing postal trucks.

Post by: P2P on May 12, 2013, 11:00 pm
If you're an intelligent human being that cares anything about your safety, you don't speak to anyone about your involvement in any sort of crime. Being considered a polite, law-abiding citizen who is considered "uncool" is a lot better than being known as the individual who "has the connect." You know what you are and what it is you're doing; you don't have to share it with the world to validate your self-worth.

its hard not to be a proud member of this community. however when i joined i learned:

the first rule about SR is
YOU DONT TALK ABOUT SR

the second rule is
YOU DONT TALK ABOUT SR

your veil of a supply chain is ok, however if there is a compromise in the security of your circle LE will be very interested in a DUTCH connection. that suggests you are a big player, even though you may not be. Antennas go up quickly....

i say

"This chick i used to date has a friend she hooked me up with"

works and is not suspicious.

just opinions though. we all need to live under the radar, as long as we do our best LE can keep scratching their heads.

i have a couple of friends who are on here on their own anyway. we all have the same idealisms/beliefs
anyway so those are fine. but other than that. noone!! too many people have intrusive opinions!no
matter how cool you think they are... when they see all the road has to offer,they might think its a problem
and they have to help you anyway possible... thats how you end up on the news

Most existing market economies include a degree of economic planning or state-directed activity, and are thus classified as mixed economies.

Yeah, I'm of the same mindset. We're in a very trusted circle where we all are fairly open about what drug we get, how we take them, and from whom. We have a few small time dealers in the group, who are pretty much the only ones that we get our stuff from.. other than me and a few others who found SR.

i have such a good, clean, respectable image everywhere... i tell no one.
however, i was thinking of buying, or making, a TOR t-shirt, or a Silk Road T-shirt with the camel logo on it.
And then wear it for certain music festival in june/july time.

perhaps that's an outrageous risk for a nice person like me.... we'll see.

and maybe i'm a bit old to be rocking it at music festivals these days... or perhaps not.

I actually learned about the silk road through a friend, but I was the only one willing to google for 30 minutes to figure out how to get on here lol.

Most of them are super sketched out about the idea of mailing drugs, and half of them are too ignorant to listen to my reasoning on why I believe I will have no legal repercussions from using this site.

Post by: Railgun on May 13, 2013, 04:21 am
I'm more comfortable discussing it on TOR with strangers just because, even if they do snitch or are working for LE, who the fuck am I? lol. 

IMO if they aren't tech savvy enough to ensure:
1) they KNOW how to check for viruses, rootkits, keyloggers, or avoid them altogether
2) Encrypt
3) Cover their tracks,

they need not know at all.  I am not about to tell some friends who ask me to help them remove viruses on their Windows machine how to use the road.

Good Point. Most people are way too afraid to make the commitment and just go for it. but you have to admit, if you have an account and you have figured out how this whole ecosystem works you are light years ahead of where most people can get. i like your statement "..willing to google for 30 minutes.." literally it took me about an hour.

Someone recently was being really nosy about who I get my shit from, and I just kept saying "I'm well connected outside the city" because anything I have looks nothing like what's been going around.
Anyway I got really irritated and told him to fuck off. He's not tech savvy, just a frequent user of 4chan and other shitty imageboards, and for some reason enjoys reddit.
He forwarded me a pictorial titled "How to get drugs from the secret internet (deepweb)" and it was one giant guide on how to set up SR accounts, buy btc and order. I was startled to see this kind of thing circulating the dumber parts of the clearnet, and just told him that it looked fake and was probably run by the DEA.
Then he told me he already ordered some bud and showed a bunch of his friends, and they wanted shit too. I said something like "don't be surprised when you go to get your mail and the cops meet you outside" and generally showed complete disinterest in it. My normal claim is that I get shit from a nearby metropolis known for drugs.


What the fuck is happening? I feel as though this could be the end.
