Hello community.
I am happy to finally publish the DNM vendor bible. It is not yet linked on the /r/darknetmarketsnoobs sidebar, but you can visit it using this link. Some days after this post, when users looked over it and searched for mistakes and made additions, it will also be linked on the sidebar.
Since I am not a vendor, I had to rely on my own research and common sense when writing it. But luckily I had support from other users: with much help from /u/Elisa-Yamaha, /u/al_eberia [not a vendor] and some input from /u/Pelican_Vendor, the vendor bible covers more aspects and offers more information. Sharing information about vending so fellow community members, but also your competition, can learn is not something naturally for a vendor.
Therefore I would like to thank them for helping despite that and sharing their knowledge for the sake of the DNM community and for making it a bit better.
If you would like to contribute too, just message me and say what you want to see added.
However, please also note that the vendor bible is not all you need to know about vending. Quoting from the about page:
The following information will just be a help for already operating vendors or people who want to become one. Being a successful DNM vendor is an extremely complex topic and is an ongoing job. There is much more information you need to gather before becoming a vendor than just reading the DNM vendor bible.
Would it be better to advocate for encrypted storage rather than relying on memory?
This may sound odd coming from u/murderhomelesspeople but shouldn't we not advocate to prey on the poor and vulnerable? I say this is a more viable method if the house it is addressed to is most definitely a trap house or else you are possibly causing someone a lot of pain, someone with little resources to defend themselves. I think I've advocated for this type of practice in the past but only if it's a legit crack house type shit, the single mom raising her kids in the ghetto don't need that sort of shit coming back to them. I think you did mean to specify that sort of thing but just left it out.
I really think you should remove the examples. I understand they are already published but I feel like it's a step in the wrong direction. We as a community have always been against this sort of practice but it has slowly become more common place, I feel it sets a bad example for our standards.
