Title: Nervous because I'm excited?
Post by: winnawin on July 27, 2013, 10:06 am
Half of the time I can't tell if what I'm reading is real or just some garbage from another drooling moron...I'm no scientist...and I'm not afraid to ask for help, which this is me asking for help. Also, knowing what I need help with, that is a problem. I do not know where to begin.

You're more likely to get help if you spell out what it is you need help with :)

Ummm...I guess knowing the very basic and proper procedure...I'm quite flaky so it is very slow and frustrating to be technical. Also it's 7am and I'm having trouble with pgp lol.

Always err on the side of it being garbage from a drooling moron. Remember to bear in mind that you do not know who you are dealing with and that the most successful con artists/scammers are the very plausible ones. Those that you think are absolutely genuine. Take every post with a healthy grain of salt. Stay as safe as you can. Never FE.  You will get bored with reading that if you are not already. The reason that it's repeated so often is that it's true. Otherwise, have fun!(isn't that why we are here?)

QFT.

I will always tell people not to FE.  But the truth is, I have FE'd twice.  Once on an order that was ~$1200.  I got it, exactly as it was described.  I did extensive research before hand and trusted the vendor as much as it is possible to trust a stranger on the internet, but it was still a gamble.  I just happened to come out on top of that one.  Now that my stats are pretty ballin', I will probably never FE again, except under special circumstances.  Not everyone will be so lucky, so the general rule is to never FE, and if you do, consider it a loss so that way you'll be pleasantly surprised if you get a "gift" in the mail later.

You guys are already helping a lot, I am bored of reading it and you are right, the ones that seem the most legit are trying to hard...I don't really even know what I want to have fun with either yet. It's like jumping in a pool I guess...I'm sure it will be nice once I'm in it, but I know it's going to be a shock, or at least I believe it should be...I'm still in awe of tor...and it's been weeks since I discovered it...It made me realize how little I know and that I need help if I'm ever going to make it.
