While I know buying small amounts, even when found, usually doesn't cause issue, I want to I ask what everybody does for their security. Do I need a laptop? I have a friend that I told this spot about and they used tor through their phone for a purchase with all the obvious precautions as far as priv note and proton and a wallet separate from their exchange. Should they be worried at all about any issues? All domestic as well just to mention. What can be done to make things better in the future for them? From what they told me their next steps were going to be to make New proton accounts on tor and use that for new accounts like on this site or dread. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Definitely need laptops and burners if you are planning to go into this form of business brother just my two cents.
 
you should not be using privnote because their canary isn't updated anymore, that website could easily be logging messages to feds for all we know; use something like temppm or snote.

you do not need to use tor for ordering through dbg, it wouldn't even make a difference with how the purchase model works using clearnet vendors.

rc vendors are not on exchange watchlists. simply buy btc/xmr, then send it to a personal wallet before sending it to the vendor.

also, back to the tor thing - using tor to access a clearnet site kinda defeats the entire purpose of using tor lmao. it's like standing on the corner of the street in a shady cloak holding a big sign that says "hey, i'm doing something suspicious over here!"
 
Agree on not using Tor to access clearnet. Nothing wrong with a separate computer for things like here and RCs so if you ever have to clean house in a hurry you only wipe that activity and not your whole digital life.

PS @xenra also do not get why people still use privnote with the years dead canary

i was starting to think people stopped using it the last few months but apparently not 🤷‍♂️
i remember that's like the only thing people were using mid 2010s so at least it's fading out
 
What's the consensus on quickforget com - I know a few vendors who use it.

  12. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  13. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.

  18. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
