Title: This is Sketchy
Post by: rollem36 on July 14, 2012, 03:35 am
I really like the idea of this site, however I just cant get over how sketchball this seems. I am also a bit confused about the bitcoin process,  but I get the gist of it. What if I dont have another address to have a shipment go to? Damn, only if my guy sold good shit, I wouldnt have to even think about going down this road. Any tips for a newbie?

Man all I can tell you is it works fine for most everyone that uses it, so far. If you keep finding yourself coming back to the idea, then you'll try it eventually.
As far as BTC, if you still need to know more, watch a tutorial till you understand it all.
I'm still a noob technically, but I've got far enough to feel safe with it all.

This.

I just received my first shipment in the mail today. Look into the laws of first class and priority mail and keep looking around these forums and eventually you'll become more comfortable with the idea. Beyond that start messaging some sellers about their products and become more familiar with the community.  8)

Always err on the side of caution. Don't do anything you normally wouldn't do, in regards to ordering and such. I wouldn't suggest ordering kilograms of coke on a regular basis, but who am I to tell you what to do.

I was pretty hesitant at first as well, but it's all good now. Just don't let your guard down. It may feel like you're in a candy store (because you are), but don't let it take over.

It did seem a tad odd at first, but after 3 successful transactions I am happy. You can always review the sellers feedback to see what his shipping is like if you are still nervous.

I've had plenty of packages comes through with no trouble whatsoever, a few times 3-5 in one day. As long as you stay security conscious you'll be good.
