ILPT: guide to purchasing from the darknet

I've decided to make this guide after getting dozens of messages asking how i did it from my recent post in r/darknet

Firstly i hope its not against the rules and i do not condone any use of the darknet to purchase illegal substances whatsoever

​

things you'll need:

1. a GOOD/SECURE vpn (i personally recommend Nord vpn)
2. Tor browser
3. A PGP tool (i recommend Kleopatra)
4. Bitcoin wallet

​

step 1: activate VPN and open Tor

step 2: go to dark. fail and look for a market of your choice

all markets require you to sign up so go ahead and do so but remember to never forget your login details as its troublesome as fuck to reset passwords.

step 3: look for a reputable vendor with a reasonable number of positive reviews. try to use markets that use escrow (funds are held on by market until you have received the package)

step 4: make the purchase and make sure to transfer enough bitcoins+ tax to the wallet provided by the market. Some markets require you to deposit your bitcoins into its onsite wallet whereas others require you to deposit on purchase.

when purchasing remember to type your name/address in the 'notes' box. REMEMBER TO SELECT 'ENCRYPT WITH VENDOR'S PGP KEY' to ensure all your info is encrypted
