Title: How was your first time? Did it go like you planned? Were you scared?
Post by: rosannebar on January 17, 2013, 08:02 am
No, not talking about sex here.   I'm talking about when you found out about Sr,   When you made your account,  When you decided on what you wanted.   

Me,   I have not ordered yet considering I am broke,  but I have a huge wish list, and if all goes well I will be placing my first order this week.      I am going to use bitinstant to a blockchain then to Sr.   Most likely doing the walmart method.     Wbu?   maybe people that have just made a order, or those that have a couple under there belts can give some pointers on what they worried about that the shouldn't have been?    That kinda thing.

Yea the bitinstant seems like the best way to go of all the methods out there. Most anonymous for people in the us.

The other exchanges have to collect personal information about you not to mention link to a bank account.

It is the way I would go.

I hate how complicated acquiring bit coin's is.    I think it is the hardest step for a newb.      I don't do the virtual machine and the usb and the truecrypt.    I use the tor with private browsing and pgp,  and considering I'm only ordering for me and not into the resale side, I think it should be okay.

me too but at the same time, its a good thing. to filter out "dumb" (I say that word knowing how ignorant I'm coming off as) people or people who aren't serious about it.

Haven't had my first time yet, waiting to get 50 posts so I can ask a shipping question on the shipping forum, however I hope everything goes well, and from what I heard it should.

Just a rather dumb question about the delivery address, really. I've seen conflicting messages of people saying  that you should always get it delivered to a PO box, but then some people get it delivered to their house, some people say not to sign for it (the buyers guide, especially) while others say they sign for their packages fine. Just wondering whats the best method.

I just made my first purchase...  the order status is still showing as "processing", but I just did it today, so that is no huge surprise.  It is nothing big, and the vendor appears to  be reliable with a lot of good feedback, but yeah, I'm a lil nervous.  Guess I will have to play the wait and see game, I just hope everything goes well and the package arrives :)

I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you didn't FE. but the real reason I'm quoting you is cuz I like your nickname. It made me smile. Thanks. Additionally, I'm posting to get more posts obviously. I wouldn't have said any of this otherwise.

Just ordered my first few gs of md yesterday so should see it tomorrow/today. I've ordered tons of drugs online before I found this place but this is the shit. You can get pretty much any of the main ones and a lot of obscure.

Any ideas

Im so excited for my first time! Still havent grasped the pgp concept but is tormail as good?
Title: Re: How was your first time? Did it go like you planned? Were you scared?
Post by: rosannebar on January 18, 2013, 05:53 am
pgp is really easy.  basically you use it to encrypt your sensitive info when ordering from a vendor.    Look in the member forums under security.   gpg4usb is the way to go.

Don I used https://bitbargain.co.uk

You bank transfer a seller and they instantly send bitcoins to your account. It's a bit more expensive then mtgox but I really needed it done instantly.

Took a few hours to get Tor, Bitcons, PGP etc, down. After that made my first purchase with Lucydrop, received the product quite quickly, and the rest is history.

When i found out about sr i was fuckin overwhelmed. I revised it was legit right away and was super excited to order. Went to the post office and got a box the next day. Then i ordered Oz of hash of tweetbe, an oz of mushrooms from rocker, and a g of molly from eazyjet. After 10 days none of them had arrived and i was fuckin Pissed! I thought i was fucked and i had gotten busted. Turns out the post office hadnt processed that i opened to the box and thought it was unnocupied. I got the tracking from the vendors and it had been returned to sender. tweetbe is such a good guy he reshipped the package!!! The hash was amazing. never got the shrooms tho :(

bitcointalks, is one of the scam/spam sites, no one is going to sell you BTC, 3$ cheaper per, they would be out of business fast...

if you want to go that route, use coinbase.com you get a wallet, an acct you can link to your bank, then just tumble to instawallet or something and go... the only drawback...it takes 3-4 days I think to get a complete transaction?

PGP is simple but for some reason I was having a brain-block about it until it became important - for SR :)

I bought some low-priority/unscheduled prescription pills since it was the amount of legal risk I've taken in the past.
Was much, much better and easier than stupid grey-market apothecaries.

I don't like having to go through the whole 50 posts thing now; however, I encourage you to make a liveusb using Liberte Linux. It is absolutely easy, don't be scared away by things just because they may sound complicated. It's the reason most people don't PGP encrypt, they think it sounds hard or will be a burden to learn, while in reality it is only 5 extreeeeeeeeemely easy steps and that 7 year olds  be taught how to do it in 10 minutes.

I am still waiting for my first order to come. Not too worried because the vender has good reviews. As soon as I found SR I was extremely interested. It turns out all the research I have read on many psychoactive compounds, including RCs, can be acquired here. Looking forward to new experiences! Lucky, all the research and personal use of compounds helped me find a good deal.

I studied a lot and read the FAQs. First time, I acquired bitcoins on a common website, then sent them to online wallets and then to SR. Once I had that, I read ratings and the forum to find a reputable vendor not requiring FE and selling meds for which i've had prescriptions (limiting risk). I ordered a quantity clearly intended for personal consumption and I waited.

I actually got scared after doing it, during the waiting period.

Package arrived, no SWAT team came to ass rape me. Second scare was when swallowing two of the pills because, well, you never know. But product was good. I did not die. I searched for other vendors, kept ordering "legal" meds (even if controlled). I still have to order something really illegal (ie street drugs).

I've also read the legal parts of the forum a lot, watched a bunch of documentaries, and realized that the risk for the low quantity buyer to get shit delivered is close to nil. In most countries, it seems the police won't even lift an eyelid for 2 grams of coke in an enveloppe.

I'm starting to see SR as any other online vending site. ebay type. Sure beats buying anything from Little Chaz on a street corner.

same here got my coins with a service u can walk in to deposit at a few major banks only requiring an email(easily made up)
scouted out what from vendor only on th 98-100 rating at least for the first one. but like Duncan said u cant help thinking the swat team is
gonna show up to ass rape you! but everything came no problem! high quality as advertised. couldnt have been happier! since then ive had
many perfect transactions!! key is spend a lil time doing your research and itll be fine. good luck!

You should try booting your computer off a usb using Tails. It's extremely simple. All you do is download tails .iso and usb installer and choose tails on the installation screen. Then it installs and all you have to do is choose boot from usb on start up screen :) The browsers are already using tor and PGP is included.....AND it's safer by a lot, especially if you are using windows or mac. If that is too much trouble, even though it took me about half an hour, then at least run your tor and pgp off a usb! You never know what may happen, and if shit ever goes down hill (hopefully not) you can just throw that shit down your toilet and your clean as a whistle!

So far so good. I've had my moments of freaking out; but doing research helps. So far sellers are communicative and haven't asked to FE for this new buyer.

My only advice:

Use a lot of lube and try to relax and everything will be fine.
