Indian news paper I believe, he interviews a vendor and some DNM operators.

Hate this shit. The more we lay low the better IMO.

It never ends, this shit.

Jesus Christ, if you sell drugs for a living it's probably best not to court publicity.

They're just asking for trouble by rubbing their continued existence in LE's face. The more low key DNM stay, the better for us all.


[3 Points] TrayvonMartin:

I dont see how this is necessarily bad for DNMs which seems to be the sentiment here. Its not like law enforcement thinks they dont exist anymore since SR1 was taken down. As if the Federal task forces or whatever were completly dismantled once Ross was arrested. They aren't exactly a secret club. Hell this sub is very active and has 20k (+) subscribers, and its on the clearnet.

Bad for the vendors putting themselves out there maybe. But the DNMs in general? Come on guys.


[2 Points] None:

Every article is the same: "deep dark web, scary drugs and hitmen". Lets not forget about people making their own freedom from laws which need to change.

Sad that no one read read the article before commenting. Actually a very moderate, level headed article. Speaks about how CP & assassination are not allowed, gives good, rational explanation of the TOR network, has minor player vendors and site leaders who mostly give eloquent, good feedback. /r/SilkRoad is more hazardous to this movement than this article was.

I want most drug business to be done safely online, with lots of choice of markets, vendors, and safety in numbers for customers,

There will always be addicts who sell a laptop as soon as they get it. TOR and bitcoin aren't for them. let them draw the heat.

You wouldn't want smaller, less markets. So what are the chances that it's "just right" the way it is now?

I'm sure every law-enforcement officer in every developed country has been briefed on darknet marketplaces. I don't think the news will cause some policeman to take action. More customers, more bitcoin trades, more business for the postman - its good for the economy.

We vendors will have to compete on service, price and quality. South american cartels will cut out the middlemen who cut their coke to shit, and buy diamond studded collars for their panthers with your bitcoin.

There may even be a decent MXE vendor who isn't an insane sociopathic liar one day.

It's been happening for years now with tv programs like drugs inc. although I highly suspect all of those interviews are staged with a lot of wrong information about the substances but still attention that prevents users from laying low.

Atheist666 is 38, single, and based in Seattle, Washington. He is going through a wilderness phase in his life, which has made him a drug vendor on hidden online marketplaces. "Right now I'm doing this as I try to steer my life out of its current stasis," says Atheist666 (a Net pseudonym), who studied economics, comparative religion and literature at university.
