The Darknet welcomes both experienced and new buyers and sellers.
Advanced members are already familiar with the basic security rules, but
I'll give a few tips to newbie buyers to avoid seeing the police knock
at your door.
1) Never use an username that you use on the clearnet! Google is one of
the places where LE looks to find you. If we can find you (or a site you
accessed from your home IP) when googling for your username, you're in
for some trouble. You can also use an existing clearnet username that
doesn't belong to you, but I advise against that, as you can get
innocent people in trouble.
2) Never order anything physical to your home address, nor friend /
parents / etc. Just drive around and find a location to ship, also
called a "drop".
3) Never brag about your stuff! You might buy some cards, card some
stuff, and make money, but keep this for yourself! People will offer you
bribes to avoid reporting you to LE. This will happen.
4) Tumble your bitcoins. Use bitcoin mixing services when cashing out or
depositing here. I will not vouch for a service in particular for
transparency reasons, but you will find many links on the forum.
5) Don't leave your computer open with fraud-related stuff when you
leave the house. Encrypt everything using VeraCrypt. Never use any
encryption software that is not open source!
6) Leave fake tracks for LE officers. For example:
- If you're Belgian, pretend to ship drugs from Germany, but instead,
simply partner up with someone from Germany to ship them for you. I did
that several times on Evo, and I got 3 PMs asking for some BTC in
exchange for doxing me in public. The 3 people found different
identities matching me, unfortunately, they just fell in the trap. On
top of that, it was 3 different countries.
- Participate in forums in other languages. If your primary language is
English, learn a few German or Spanish sentences, and post some. Usually
a language that you never use in real life.
- Be careful about that.
7) Never whine about DNM things on any legit site. If penissmith made a
troll post that pissed you off, don't write "people are idiot" on
Facebook.
8) If you're serious about security and do high-level trades, stay out
of North America / Europe. Live in an offshore country. If you can't do
that, be anywhere except USA.
9) It's never a bad idea to DBAN drives of previous computers. You never
know what evidence may lay there, long forgotten, until LE finds it.
10) Always PGP encrypt your address. If LE manages to find our servers
and physically take the machine, there will be no evidence. And while
we're at it, never host a .onion site in USA, never use a Tor bridge in
USA, never register a domain with a company under USA juridiction. In
fact, you should just move out of USA if you are there.
That's it for now, if anybody has more tips, just post them. I want to
avoid buyers getting raided if a seller account gets compromised.
