Tips & Tricks When Ordering

[clearheaded]

naa issue is if get fake names to an address its a red flag. also if need a signature u won't be able to pick up. if you think simply using a different name protects you from the law in ANYWAY ur incorrect. lol would be nice though eh. prob just can get u another charge for fraud/opening mail not for u which is federal. or adding conspiracy charge.

btc can be tracked most wallets folks use now are not anonymous, u have to do more than use btc to be anonymous it USED to be slightly better but realistically simply helps the seller not the buyer as easier to launder the cash. more laws now as have to pay tax on btc. laundering is the ONLY issue LE has with BTC. if u dont scrub ur coins ur not anonymous ESP if purchased with a card... more folks using BTC above ground makes it easier for them iirc.

NEVER have you heard someone say "thank god I used a fake name" lol. rest assured if they are busting you they are busting you... you cant have drugs on you and then say oh well it was shipped to me by mistake and I just held onto them lol... 9/10ths and all that. you don't have plausible deniability when have packages over the years come to you but with different names. reason when get a reship they want to send to a different addy....

more steps for LE the better as may screw some paperwork up and get off on a technicality I suppose. But dont be fooled by using majority of the VPNs OR fake names OR btc makes u invisible cause it doesn't. VPNs track aswell so can sell adds and will hand shit over (although yes prob not worth it for small time and why just seize)..

not claiming to be an IT OPSEC master but smart enough to know that if they can get full access to your phone just by knowing your # they can crack whatever opsec 99% of us use if they really wanted.

yes always good to be anonymous as possible, but remember it never REALLY is, although fake name, works every time amazingly enough.

I have but it can be a pain. I believe they have switched their SOPs because last few times I used for BTC I had to take a pic and send in pic of my license when it used to be you only did that on signup.

Yup they made me do that. Real pain. Also not having money readily available. So I think I can cash out and send money back to my bank and close the account

Just make sure seller is reputable and knows how to pack, that's it. like mentioned previously, even the "best" in stealth can get caught, it's just the matter the cost of the bust to the LE.

if they want to catch you, they will, even hackers get caught and 99% of this forum doesn't even know how to pay with crypto or they recommend to use ''incognito'' mode lmao, there's nothing you can do about it, sorry man.

Mostly this, they want to catch the big fish. Small ones that swim around they don't care much about them anyway. I believe they let some sources exist just to experiment and see what happens, when it becomes a huge whale sort of maybe that's when they hunt it down or maybe if they don't get their fare share. That's when the profit is worth the hassle and risk. Us customers or whatever you want to call it, it's same like for feds to take down the junkies, what's the point? It's all about the big money.

tl;dr - If you're buying typical personal use quantities, none of this other than tumbling coins is really applicable; it would be like using a MIRV to kill a mosquito. If you're planning on being a reseller or manufacturing, then you really shouldn't, because you're probably not going to have a good time.

Bitcoins can be 'tumbled', but finding a reputable tumbler that doesn't just steal your coins can be a pain. Caveat emptor. Monero is a bit of a pain in the ass to use; last time I tried, you had to download the whole fucking blockchain to your computer in order to do anything at all. Oh, and your antivirus software is going to insist that the blockchain is a trojan.

Using Tails is a pain in your ass. Seriously. It's frequently difficult to get it to work at all, although it runs okay on older computers because it's so stripped down. The documentation on Tails is poor, so you're going to have to figure a lot of shit out on your own. If you have experience with Linux, it's going to be easier. I don't, so it wasn't. If you can get the Monero blockchain running on a Tails computer, then that's probably going to be your best bet. IIRC, you have to buy some kind of crypto like bitcoin on an open exchange (Coinbase, Circle, etc.), and then you can exchange for Monero through a different exchange, b/c Coinbase et al. don't deal with Monero. (Remember that every time you exchange coins or pay for something, you're going to be paying transaction fees, so build that into the amount you initially buy.) Monero is, hands down, the safest way to shuffle money around for illegal goods and services. The IRS has offered a bounty of up to $625,000 for anyone that can trace Monoero transactions, because so far there's no effective way to do so.

Do make sure that you set up an encrypted volume when you set of Tails; you'll want to be able to save some information. Make yourself a strong passphrase that you can memorize. I use Diceware, so I'll generate random words like faith, helmet, album, ralph, bombay, and gnaw, and then turn them into a passphrase like "faiTh110+helmEt101+albUm100+ralPh11+bombAy10+gnAw1"; I remember the base words, and then have a system for capitalizing and adding in symbols and numbers that I can remember without writing it down.

Tails always accesses the internet through TOR. That's safe enough for most people and most situations. If you're paranoid, set up your home router to run all traffic through a paid VPN. That's probably not necessary though, since AFAIK TOR hasn't been 'broken' yet. (The cases of people being busted solely for online shit that I've heard are due to things like malicious Javascript code on sketchy-ass sites that intentionally leaked users' information, or being able to draw connections between TOR activities and regular ones, e.g., using the same unique username across accounts.)

If you get a tracking number from whoever you're buying from, DO NOT check the tracking on your laptop, mobile device, whatever. Just fucking don't. If you have to check, use your Tails computer, and a non-Javascript universal tracker. If, e.g., you are getting a 20kg shipment of MENT from China that's been flagged, and you query the system for tracking, then the postal inspector will know that someone is expecting the package. That's not good for you.

This might be lore, so take it with a handful of salt: When you get a package, don't bring it in your home. Opening a big box o' drugs in your house when it has a tracker in it is certainly a great reason for a warrant. "We know that this package has drugs, and it's been opened, and it was opened in his house." Open the package somewhere other than inside your home. Will this actually work if the package is being watched and has a tracker? I have no fucking clue.

All of this is the shit you can do. If your supplier fucks up shipping, or is being watched by postal inspectors/customs, then you're probably going to get to do a cold-turkey PCT in prison.
