Title: Please tell me if I'm doing this right.
Post by: P1HKΔL_2001 on April 29, 2013, 10:11 am
Before I go ahead I wanted to see if anyone can pick fault with these steps.

I'm going to purchase bitcoins, using a bank transfer (cash at the counter) then transfer those bitcoins into an inbetween wallet site then transfer those to my SR account. Then i'll purchase my item from a domestic source in a small quantity sending my details encrypted in PGP to the seller but without any details for them to contact me (email address etc). Upon receiving the package I'll write "return to sender" in red pen over the package and wait a few days before opening.

Now is this the utmost I can be doing to stay secure?

Yep. Though you should not use any obviously fake names. No James Bond or Jason Bourne or Mickey Mouse - some sellers won't even send it. Also, even an innocuous fake name stands out if you never receive any other mail for that name...

Thanks :) appreciate it and yes, noticed on another thread shouldn't even change the spelling of my name. One more thing, it seems I can only access most BC sites on clearnet, is there no real problem with that.

Your steps sound pretty sound! Buying BTC isn't illegal, I seem to remember some BTC sites won't allow TOR users to buy coin anyway.

Have fun!

I would only add to take care to research the vendor's stealth methods. You wont find specific information but read the reviews and look for complaints about sloppy packaging, etc. If there aren't any then you're good to go. Read both the forum threads and the SR reviews.

I personally think ~24hrs is an adequate time to wait before opening. If LE wants you, they are  not going to wait around and twiddle their thumbs, they are going to be knocking at your door the second they KNOW you have it.. IMHumbleO

what can you say to le if your real name is on the parcel but you write return to sender on it ?
If the door does not drop of its hinges within twenty minute you should be ok.
