Moronic Monday - it's your weekly stupid questions thread!

Hey /r/DarkNetMarkets , it is time for Moronic Monday!

Post your question - stupid or otherwise - here to get an answer. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don't get a lot of action, so if your question didn't get answered before, feel free to post it again.

If you are a noob, check out our comprehensive FAQ; it is essentially a guide for buying from a DarkNet Market. You may also find it helpful to take a look at our informative community posts, which are full of valuable information and tips.

We do ask that you refrain from abusing noobs in this thread. Remember that everyone had to start somewhere.

P.S. Check out /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs, where it is Moronic Monday everyday!

Is it possible to get a real new identity? All my searching seems to wind up being dead ends, highly unlikely means, or leaving me skeptical/suspicious.


[7 Points] icantfinditbymyself:

Is there a subreddit or forum where people can make requests for market postings? Like "I would like to buy XYZ, any sellers out there?"

When using the Tails Tor Browser, should i adjust the Privacy & Security slider for normal browsing activities? It is set at Low(Default) and i have wondered if i should change it to high. I always change to disable scripts globally, but have heard arguments that changing from the default settings can make you "stand out" and be an easier target than the majority grouping of users. Any thoughts ?

Can someone ELI5 how PGP signing works? I understand how to use pgp, get the basics and whatnot, but how do you sign keys/identify that a signature is legit?

What size for a PO box is best for receiving ONLY personal amounts of LSD? Less than 20 tabs at a time.

Hi, here is my stupid question: if I mix my bitcoin (using this ), can I use a bitcoin service like BitStamp, that needs your ID to verify your account?

Someone please explain to me how to buy a bitcoin to placing an order

How come alpha bay doesn't work with mobile? Or is it just me.,

Curious about CD's. I know its best to clean house if you think you're getting a CD. I'm curious to know just how in depth of a search do they do? Is it mostly snooping or a full on tear the place apart type search?

Im not really worried about getting one, i only order small personal amounts, that would probably just get me a love letter. But if by chance it did happen just wondering what to expect.


[1 Points] The_Madhouse:

Why is there no acacia confusa on the markets? Does everyone just source from the clearnet?


[1 Points] Stretches_the_truth:

Is it even possible to lose my Bitcoin if I always buy with escrow?

I'm going to a festival in the uk later this summer, its a plane flight away for me so i cant carry any drugs with me. We will be a big group of like 10-15 people staying at my friends house near the festival.

I wanted to order pills for the whole group, would it be really dumb to order them under my name, but my friends name? he doesn't mind me ordering them to his house as long as the parcel is addressed to me. like how likely is a name (real name, I've also had previous adresses very near to my friends house) not registered to the address to arise suspicion on UK domestic?


[1 Points] Mouse47:

How dangerous is reading this subreddit on a regular box (assuming I order in the future)? Does this incriminate me?

I'm just learning now, about to get TAILS


[1 Points] ciphersexual:

If I wanted to post a review via Tails, as is my custom, how do I safely and anonymously get a picture of the product from my phone to an anonymous hosting site? Do people simply post images to hosting sites in the clear and trust the site to keep them anonymous?


[1 Points] BorderLinesDrawn:

If browsing to a website such as the hidden wiki, what would cause the message,

"You IP has been identified as a Tor Exit Node and will not be able to edit or make changes..."

This would be for someone with no knowledge of setting up a Exit Node. Very curious.

Thanks!

I ordered some prescription meds (Modafinil) off the dark net, and the listing said it ships by registered mail from India. 10 days later I get a "sorry we missed you" pink slip from USPS, with a tracking # on it starting in "RM" (registered mail) and ending in "IN" (India). So that must be it.

I didn't think registered mail required a signature though, and the "Signature Confirmation" box under reasons why slip was left is NOT checked. However, a separate box that says "you or your agent must be present at the time of delivery to sign for item" IS checked.

Should I be concerned, or is this normal and I should just go to the post office and pick it up?


[1 Points] None:

What is the best way to anonymously check tracking numbers?


[1 Points] dnmthrowaway9008:

What can I do (if anything) to make myself more secure around receiving shipments? I have the electronic side of things down pat -- Tails, PGP, Bitfog, etc -- so from where I'm sitting now the biggest vulnerability is a shipment with my name/address on it being intercepted by LEO, or a seller getting busted and coughing up a list of customers. There really isn't much in the FAQ other than to buy domestic from a seller known for good camo.

EDIT: I should also mention that I'm not buying in bulk -- strictly personal-use quantities. So that lowers my risk a bit, but it's still higher than I'd like.

What exactly does it mean that "Microsoft Windows is affected by PRISM?" Any technical details about this? Won't I be anonymous using Tor?


[1 Points] None:

Interested on getting some LSD sourced to Colombia, best way, sub, threads to read to get this started ?

Letters from the US get here quite quick if it helps. (LSD because its less traceable)

Is it necessary to disable IPv6 on my Mac for using Tails? I just tried it and it fucked my computer in the ass. I had to do a reboot to get it working again.


[1 Points] None:

Are there any darknetmarkets sites that allow you to order locally and pick up by dead drop? I feel like this is the obvious next step in this system

Have any of you guys ever come across a nembutal vendor?

Posted this in /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs also:

Alright. So I am planning my first order today.

The plan was as follows: Coinbase -> Clearnet Electrum thru Windows -> Darknet Electrum thru Tails -> Market

Is that good? Or should I be using two Electrums created on Tails and transferred while running tails?

Why do people post a decrypted PGP message right next to the encrypted one? If it's already decrypted, why include the whole thing in your thread? Or are they separate messages? For example, I mean threads like these.

Also, is anyone else not able to access the Agora forums?
