Got a notification from outlaw market they've updated the system.
They support partial FE and dead drops now.
The dead drops option really concerns me as for opsec. This seems totally unsafe. Can anyone explain how this could work in a safe manner?
It's safer than dropping it off in the mail, because there are only so many mailboxes so the police can narrow it down and sit outside every mail box and wait for somebody suspicious to come up. With the dead drops the vendor would find a spot maybe while going hiking and find a place to hide a package, most likely bulkier that wouldn't fit into a mailbox. They'd then use a gps to get coordinates and send that info encrypted to the buyer. The buyer then would go and get the package. The only thing not safe would be if the vendor used the same dead drop over and over, and it would be hard to prove if the vendor ever even dropped it in the first place so escrow would be hard to enforce.
