Hello all!!
I find I've been frustrating myself recently with the amount of time I've been putting into actually researching everything. I am spending a bonkers amount of time on the process itself and have yet to make a move on an order.
I've invested about 20 hours or so reading the fourms and browsing the road.. this does include looking into vendors.. but I still have yet to make the step to do a purchase.
How about the rest of yas?
-
Waaayyyy less time than that.
-
3 days after discovering the site
-
My OLD drug dealer showed it to me about a two months ago. I then opened an account last month. Two weeks later, made my first purchase. I'm now on my fourth purchase.
And I'm my NEW dealer. ;D
-
A shockingly long three months after I found out about the site. Skepticism mixed with a lack of spare cash got me off to a very slow start :/
-
near a month, havn´t heard never before and i don´t how worked the site, bitcoins... too much things to learn if never have heard about this.
now im very happy here, and have to tell newbies that wasn´t so complicated as looks the first time you seen it : )
-
I have been registered here for 7+ days and have not still made order because of many circumstances. I read almost everything in wiki, a lot of threads here about security, shipping, delivery, payment, escrow, best product, vendors and so on. Now I am waiting to get my bitcoins and I think I will order today or tomorrow.
-
As soon as I had bitcoins in my account I was ordering.
Do a bit of research and then go for it, just keep the orders small to start with...
-
Don't rush into it. I spend a few days lurking here reading stories/experiences from other members, learning pgp/bitcoins , it is very important to learn how stuff works before you get involved. Also it's better to start small , no big orders at least untill you get comfortable with the whole process.
-
The same day I opened my acct. I already hat BTC and bought quality hash I have not seen in a long time before.
-
I probably used 3-6 months ;D
-
I was introduced by a friend, made an account and ordered late that evening after doing enough research to be willing to separate myself from a few bitcoins. I have yet to receive my first couple order but will be a avid user of the site once everything comes through like planned. Good luck and happy ordering!
-
Researched the first day, bitcoins and ordered the next.

From the time I was shown SR to my first purchase, about three months elapsed.
Spent no less than a week just downloading books and gleaning knowledge of a world that once seemed fantasy, almost mythical to me. Learned how to run Tor very discreetly, how to acquire & use Bitcoins anonymously, did my research on what vendors to trust and order from without getting scammed or seized by customs.
Got several friends to front me cash for what I promised would be the most pure MDMA they'd ever try. Against my instincts, greed got the better of me and I FE with high expecations for the 15g of molly sold by Tony76 on the 4/20 sale last year.
Harsh lesson for my first purchase. Haha. :-X
-
1 month
-
2-3 weeks, mainly researching security and how things work.
-
Knew about it for over a year, lost weed dealer, searched online around a lot, found it again, ordered next day.
-
Took me a couple of weeks before I got it down.
Spent some time learning PGP then finally took the leap and did an order.
-
hi everyone,
I heard about SR 18 months ago on the news and I thought 'bullshit! you cant buy drugs on the internet' - so i didnt even try to find out.
Last week a mate told me he knows it works and instructions on youtube.
I got Tor and joined 3 days ago. Researched vendors and security and learned pgp (about 30 hours online)
Placed first small test orders last night ......now waiting.......
also i FE.. because I am new here. and I trust them, and Im not a scammer....... is this not recommended? or not appropriate?
I hope this works.....ive watched border security....fingers crossed
...waiting...
peace all,
ww

two days first you have to collect BITCOINS
-
Great, I am not the slowest around, I wonder how long it will take me to my first sale. I better start a new thread on that.
-
I'm skeptical as well, trying to read posts and gather information. Threads like these are helpful c:<

One day to read about security.
One day to install Tails on a USB drive and learn PGP.
Next day bought some BTC.
Currently wating 8 days for BTC to arrive.
Meanwhile I've been talking with a vendor to do my first purchase as a new buyer.

Over a year for me. Discovered this place in Nov 2011, set up and account and then watched and learned for awhile. I was a bit leary with the whole bitcoin thing, and then getting shit delivered straight to my house.
Then a RL friend of mine told me she had ordered off here and how easy it was, so I finally took the plunge a few weeks ago, and sure enough it really was that easy.
One thing I don't get, is some of the vendor listings ask you to send your address via PGP, yet when you place the order, it asks you for your address, which I put in, and that's always been good enough for these vendors. What's the point of the PGP address?
-
I did a lot of research too. It took about a month and there was very many hours to make a decision. It didn't help getting timed out having to start over sometimes either.
-
I didn't get the balls to actually order until there was stuff I wanted that I couldn't find in person. Despite all the success people have had, shipping pot still seems sketchy to me.
-
Was told about SR by a friend. Researched it when it randomly popped into my head about a month later while I was bored. Made an account and did my research on the forums and learned PGP and what not. Acquired some bitcoins & I then placed my first order this week after about 1.5 weeks. Lets see how it goes! Good luck to all newbs!

about a week
