Bro, you got lucky. FBI's got a daily snapshot of SR server. So be glad your name and address is not in that database somewhere in FBI/DEA.


That'd only be a problem if he had been stupid enough to send his LSD vendor his name & address in the clear. The whole point of buyers encrypting their info to the seller's key was to avoid problems if LE attacked the server.


Yeah, I definitely would not be sending anything like that in the clear. Not knowingly, anyway! Funny thing though, I held off due to random shit that came up, not even anything to do with all the NSA/Snowden/Intelligence/Whatever stuff. And during those couple of weeks, is when all the FBI/Tor stuff broke, and that did serve to give me a little bit of pause. But I still probably would have made an order, except I got busy doing stuff and just never got around to it.

I'd be tempted to try one of the alternatives, but now I'm worried that one or more of them might be LE honeypots or something.

Damnit, what's a hacker to do, who just wants to try acid once before he dies? Sheesh. :-(


You should start going to music festivals, raves, and you'll meet people who have access to it. It's much easier to find in real life than online IMHO.


I wouldn't even know where a rave is happening around here. I'm totally not plugged into that scene at all. Hell, I don't even know if we have a rave scene around here (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC).

Add in the fact that I'm so busy with this startup + consulting part-time, that I never have time to go to music events, I decided to just go the "easy way" and use SR. And then I didn't. And now it looks like it might have been a good thing that I didn't. Heh.


Your profile made me laugh; thanks.
