Title: Newbie question for first order: Is it ok to use my actual name and address?
Post by: bodizzle on June 26, 2013, 12:13 am
What is the consensus on this? Im soon going through with my first order, and I trust tor/silk road is secure, but I still feel apprehensive about using real name/address.

Have other guys on here done that?

Every time. Just encrypt it with the seller's public PGP key and paste the encrypted message in the box on the checkout page on the SR site.

Well from the sounds of it you have a lot a researching to do on the forums. Yes, it's okay to use your real name and address to order off of Silk Road. BUT, please make sure you read the buyers guide and research everything you possibly can before you order anything. GPG is the key with using your real info.

It depends it is very 50/50 on here on who uses there personal address and who has drop addresses everyone is completely different. Where are you based UK/USA/EU etc??

I am UK based and personally dont use my own name/address as I'm very paranoid due to personal/work life finding out.

Either use your real name and address and have your entire house clean and PC encrypted with plausible deniability or go all out and get a drop with a fake name. I have done both and never ran into problems but no matter what you do there is a small chance things can go wrong. Be prepared and understand the consequences before you do anything.

If I were use say (i know this might sound silly) but just my first initial and full last name, would that be sketchy? Or say "Mr. so and so"

Lol, I know it sounds like kind of silly question, but wondering if this would serve any positive purpose?

That is not going to make any difference man if you are that worried think of some ideas on shipping the goods elsewhere eg-

1. Look up postal drops in your town, in the UK they have places you can get your letters sent someone signs and you go and collect (not like PO boxes don't use PO box addresses they are too suspicious)

2.Ask friends who work in hotels/offices/restaurants anywhere where they collect the mail and ask if you can send it there in a fake name and they will sign for it.

3. Just send it to your own address it is only chewing gum, you will be fine worry more when it's cocaine.

#3: I guess my brain is overcome with newbie paranoia that it cant decipher what you mean with that number 3. You are just saying have the mindset "just think of it as chewing gum because nothing will happen" right?



And Kiwi when you say "you can use your real name but muck it up a bit like someone who didnt know you or had you on some list." You mean when some computer generated list sends you something but your name looks really goofy right? Like "Zachary" coming out as "Sakcary" right?

You have had buyers do that and everything works out ok? (as long as they put a name that at least resembles their real one of course"

Nope I'm so so tired I can barley see the screen names. I thought this was a never of the never ending John Daink paranoia threads on the forum at the moment. It's the same sort of thread but all he is planning on buying is Cannabis flavored chewing gum  ???
