I can't really get my head around PGP encryption, I placed an order with the message encrypted and he refunded it telling me that it didn't work. How do I encrypt these messages?


[3 Points] blahblahman2:

I ordered pre-roll's on CannabisRoad from cannatreats, and the order has just been sitting there with no communication for a week. I've looked at cannatreats's reviews on here, and they all say that he is awesome at communication, but he just kinda stopped messaging me. The order has been marked as not shipped since last Tuesday.

He messaged me first, saying that my package was ready but he was wary of shipping to my location, so I messaged him back on Wednesday giving him some more details and I haven't heard back from him since.

Did I do something wrong? I don't wanna cancel the order because he has fast shipping and I need them this week, and he's the only person on CR with pre-roll's and fast shipping.

People, hear me speak! I have some questions that have gathered up :) Thank you in advance for answering!!

1) How much security-wise must be done when I just want to enter a DNM and just go window-shopping? As I understand it, the whole Bitcoin thing is something completely separate from Darknet and DNM's, so essentially you can simply get Tor and go on a DNM. I think here Tails would be an overkill, but what security measures do I have to take in order to simply view the markets and their vendors, and how dangerous/illegal is that?

2) Does using Tor require any kind of registration?

3) Why do people talk about setting up a PGP e-mail? I have been through the PGP Tutorial for Newbs and it does not mention setting up a separate e-mail account . My guess is that an e-mail account becomes necessary when you cannot use the particular DNM website to message.

4) In connection to 3): Is it secure to send someone an encrypted message over a clearnet e-mail and is this practiced at all? (I have heard there are Darknet e-mail as well)

5) In connection to 4), how does a Darknet e-mail differ from a clearnet one? As in, does it have in-built security measures?

I think this is all so far, I might add something later. Thank you for answering in advance :)

EDIT: 6) As I understand it, the normal protocol is that you first transfer Bitcoins to the vendor when you have received the package (I know what FE is about btw.). So essentially, the vendor has great insentive to provide extra stealth as otherwise, the buyer, in a case a failure (Cops finding out and so on), would simply refuse to pay.

7) How individual is each order? I have never been on Darknet and/or a DNM, but from what I was able to read on this and related subs, is that people often make individual deals with their vendors, asking for extra stealth or some specifics. How common is this and how far are the vendors willing to go?

Do you guys think the lifetime paid subscriptions to porn websites are a scam? Would it be a waste of money to try and buy something like that?

Can you purchase Bitcoin with a check online?


[2 Points] Cardinal_Ravenwood:

What should I know in order to alleviate my paranoia?

I have lurked around DNM's since SR originally became public knowledge, thanks gawker article, but I've never ordered anything. My paranoia about getting knocks on the door by LE has always made me second guess my decisions.

I am only looking at purchasing psychedelics, mainly LSD or DMT, and I guess I want to get a few things clarified:

I have investigated bitcoin to a degree and understand how it works and how tumbling works. I'm not so much concerned with leaving any money/paper trail, more that anything I get sent to me will be picked up by customs/quarantine.


[2 Points] SherpaT:

I've decided to finally start buying my LSD (and potentially other drugs eg MDMA and DMT) online rather than off the street, so if someone could give me a brief overview of how to properly go about the whole process that would be great. Recommendations for which marketplaces/vendors to use for LSD specifically would also be much appreciated.

What's the chance that acid will lose potency (partially or completely) due to being in hot environments on its way to the buyer?

Made 3 purchases on Evo and never tumbled my coins, is it necessary?

Giftcarddrainer.com is down, how can I use a visa gift card and pay for bitcoin?


[1 Points] corruptnova:

Why is it that opiates are (stamps in particular) wildly overpriced in comparison to most other drugs on the markets? Am I missing something, or am I just shit at finding good deals?


[1 Points] Cheekybean:

I'm going to be heading off to college next year and i was wondering about the safety of receiving packages as a student. Specifically I'll be in Alabama, do you guys think it would be a good idea for me to get quaps-pounds to the dorm or maybe a few ounces of oil?


[1 Points] Dankruptt:

Exactly how much security do I need to have to safely buy for personal use? I've been through Jolly Roger's guide and it seems that using Tor/PGP/VB+Tails might be enough but I'd like to be sure.
