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!

Would running a VPN such as PIA be a good idea at all?

Which website can I check the tracking code for a package that was shipped from EU to UK?
Royal-mail, Parcelforce has nothing, the country's website where it was posted from only shows track until it left the country.

Which DRM uses Darkcoins instead bitcoins?

Why some products are being sold way cheaper than on the street? I mean it is easier to sell it in real world for more.

I have a stong agoraphobia, can I still use Agora or should I rather try Evo?

Edit: nvm, I am also allergic to onions an can still use TOR. So I guess Agora is okay.

How common is it to make a purchase and never receive the item in question?

What is the difference between multi-sig and escrow?


[2 Points] Bunteknete:

Maybe some semi-stupid questions, maybe the answer to first nobody knows, but it interests me...

How did LE get access to all the bitcoin wallets in Silk Road 2.0 & co? I mean, they need all those passwords etc...? Are they allowed to hack them all?

And what is the law that allows them to seize and "own" all those bitcoins?

What's the safest way I can get funds from a paper wallet to a marketplace wallet?

Here's the scenario. You create a paper wallet offline in Tails, then you take the paper wallet to a bitcoin vending machine and buy in cash. (let's assume no surveillance cameras on the machine)

Now you have a paper wallet that is not connected to you in any way but you want to get the bitcoins to the market. Do you load up Tails, create a fake account at blockchain.info, load the private key and then send them that way?

If you want these coins to be connected to your real life persona as little as possible, how would you do it?

If I was to get a PO box in the US for my purchases what extra precautions should I take? I can't accept packages at home otherwise I would. Should I build up a stream of non related DNM mail to the PO or is that a waste of time?

Why do some vendors that I see on evolution have 99-100% feedback, but get trashed on reddit?


[2 Points] tingleming:

Did I do this right? I just made my first DNM purchase today. Bought some Ambien from Gotmilk via Agora.

Here are my steps: Bought BTC with cash deposit to a bank via LBC. Tumble it through Helix Light and directed it to my Agora account. (Did a small amount to test it out, then sent the rest) Placed my order with Gotmilk on Agora and used PGP to send my info and I included my public key.

I'm reading some of the other posts here and seeing talk of importing private keys to wallets. I didn't do that with LBC or Agora. Did I miss something?

Also, I didn't see anyone selling Ambien on Agora that didn't require FE so I ended up FEing. Hopefully I won't get ripped off.

Thanks guys.

I need an ELI5 way to send PGP.... I can send it to myself just fine... however people don't seem to get mine when I try and send it to them... I have their public key & email.. I need an extremely simplified step by step showing. I swear I'm doing everything all the tutorials I've read say.


[1 Points] morphinedreams:

So I have questions about controlled deliveries.

As I understand it, most cases are they get you to sign for a package they know is illegal, but what do they do when the packages never required signing for? I'd not accept a package I wasn't expecting if they asked me to sign for it so I'm curious what methods LE use to work around that.

best vendor for single tabs? seen some guy selling 5 a tab but cant find him


[1 Points] Gummi_Dick:

Being a heavy smoker of purely dry herb, i've been curious on trying out oil pens, but not for everyday use just something to pull out every now and then which is why i wouldnt want to invest in a fancy rig, a pen would be convienent enough.

But the problem is I wouldnt know what to look for, shatter/wax/co2? Which is supposed to be used? Also would it be better off buying a good quality re-usable pen from a headshop or be just keep ordering pre-filled vape pens from vendors here ( ie adventuretime)? And one last one, who's the dopest hustla' on this block.'dopest' as in best, 'hustla' as in concentrate vendor, and block as in evolution.
