The weakest link in a buyer's opsec is the vendor. And it's more than just good opsec on the vendor's part. Certain vendors are going to attract more attention than others, and are thus less likely to be compromised. For example, a vendor selling just psychedelics isn't going to be on too many law enforcement radars unless they step onto it themselves. On the other hand, you can rest assured that a vendor selling counterfeit bills and fentanyl is going to be on a number of law enforcement radars.

Counterfeit bills are probably the single biggest red flag a vendor can wave. The federal law enforcement agency tasked with protecting the President of the United States of America has just one other responsibility: catching counterfeiters. Think about that for a minute. There's an entire law enforcement agency dedicated to keeping the president alive and catching counterfeiters. And the counterfeiter part isn't just some afterthought, the Secret Service actually assigns equal importance to those two responsibilities.

Anyway, figured I'd share that. I was looking to make a purchase this evening and noticed that a vendor I was considering buying from also sells counterfeit bills. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere.

Have Previously used Dream market but the various warnings have turned me away, have been using Alphabay for the past 2-3 months and have only just seen the warnings... How safe are either to use? if it all? are there any better options?

Is weed realistically any more risky to order than any other drugs? About 1/4-1/2 an oz. US domestic.

Bonus: Is DNM weed worth it to buy over whatever I find near me at university? Its a little cheaper to buy in person for me.

The tumbling battle continues but it seems many people lean towards not. How is

Local bitcoin -> clearnet wallet -> darknet a -> darknet B -> market?

Is this fairly secure?
