how risky are DNM purchases like this? what should i do to better protect

Okay let me first start by saying i know this is not correct however I want to correct my erros so please check this out and let me know what I can do better if possible.

1) I'm using Private Internet Access VPN to route my connection to Switzerland 1a) Then I log into Tor Browser and access DNM 2) Using a login and pw that are randomly generated 3) Have used PGP on my purchases Here is where I know I'm off so I need some help.... 4) I then have a Coinbase account and send the bitcoin to the DNM....this gota be wrong but its really the only thing I think I'm doing wrong..

Am I going to get busted? Am I in risk? How risky is this? What to do to correct?

You have good OPSEC but an additional step you could take would be utilizing Tails. Refer to this sub and the noob sub wiki's and posts as they include a lot of info on setting it up. Personally, I would try to use Local Bitcoins to purchase for more anonymity or atleast take the step to send your coins from Coinbase to a tumbler or atleast an intermediate wallet.

Not likely, but you're risk is coinbase finding out what you're up to and closing your account. Instead, pass the BTC through one or more exchanges. Pass part of the amount instead of all of it, and as long as those exchange accounts aren't traceable to you - all that can be concluded is you passed money to "someone" who later down the line deposited it to a DNM.

You seem to have good OPSEC there's a lot of conflicting opinions on whether you should tumble or not on here. I am sure if LE is tracing your coins through the blockchain then they already have more shit on you. Being caught with the drugs on you is the main way you'd get caught and then they'd only know it was DNM if you squealed

Encrypt your hard drive if you wanna play it extra safe or use TAILS OS on a USB Thumbdrive and follow the tails setup on /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs

EDIT: Don't always connect to one vpn server too. Change it at random after a while [?]

Don't send from coinbase to DNM, send to an intermediary wallet first.

If you're going that far with your OPSEC, you should use Tails. Go buy a mini 8gb usb drive and make it a Tails bootable USB. There's plenty of guide how to do this. You'll need a blank dvd and cd burner or an additional USB stick to install persistence on tails. Just search up Tails Guides and go from there. Also if you're using Coinbase you should tumble. LBC is your best option for anonymous purchases though.
