Long time fan of /u/gwern's work, wishing you would grant my request for an AMA? Just a few (of many) questions I'd love to ask you below...
What motivates you to keep track of all the happenings of the Dark Net World?
Do you conduct pentests/consult with any Dark Net Markets about potential security issues? I know you have deanonymized a new market in the past, is this something you attempt with all new markets?
Do you personally think the fundamental technologies that these Dark Net Markets rely upon, such as Tor, Bitcoin and GPG are all secure/anonymous if following current best practices?
If you had to predict/speculate how Agora/Evo end, what would you say?
How do you support yourself when you seem to spend so much time helping the community here? Do you get enough donations to keep you content or do you have a side job of some sort? Does any type of company/university/agency pay you for your research?
Bonus question:
Are you single? I <3 you
