I’m new, I want to visit a marketplace, I’ve been trying nearly all day, using TOR app on my phone and every site I try to get into says “this site can’t be reached” Im using VPN, TOR/VPN, every bridge option and nothings working.. everyone once in a while I’ll get in for like 5 minutes and then it’ll kick me out.. I have JavaScript off as well.. I’ve tried Googling about it and couldn’t really find anything.. I live in Australia so the internet speed is already kinda bad here and I’m also using my iPhone if that matters.. thanks

I only managed to create a Public Key but not a Private Key with it, I've searched and googled on the Internet and have found no results or any good explanations and answers, could someone tell me already how to create a Private key on OpenKeychain ffs?

I'm kinda stuck; I'm using PGP for the first time trying to make a archertyp account. After filling in the information and clicking on capcha, it leads me to "decrypted message" (PGP key)

I don't know how to continue from this point on; I've tried decrytping it, encrypting it and pasting it in the box where the "decrypted PGP key" was. I tried pasting the mirrors from the .cc site, didn't do anything either. What am I supposed to do? theres no button, only the CGC key which I can modify. Ive tried logging in; "Loginname or password is incorrect.". I've been trying to register for the past few hours and I feel like I'm going crazy lmao

used to use local for trading, now im stuck. the recommendations i find do not support usd to monero exchange. where do i go? :( im in the us

Images before had a green \"continue\" button. The last image doesnt. Clicking creating account doesnt work.

How safe is it to use my real name and address when buying? Just want edibles, not like meth or shit. Don't want the police turning up at my door and don't want to be featured in the next hostel film

I get Monero legally, everything I do is above board, but since this is Monero, I'm a bit weary, not sure If I should do it or not. any advice? Decided against it, turns out it's a bad idea

Pardon me if I didn’t use the acronym correctly, I followed all of the instructions on the darknet market bible, but since localmonero is shutting down, im a bit stumped on what to do next. Is there any way to discreetly purchase monero that isn’t 1,000 steps long? Or do i gotta suck it up and do the litecoin—>monero fiasco over cake wallet for an egregious rate and have my ID known?

Usually when I start browsing, links load in 3 to 5 minutes. Then for a period of maybe 10 minutes, all the links load in around 30 seconds. After that, every link times out. I close tor, open it, it usually repeats. These are the exact same links on the same websites, sometimes loading in 30 seconds, then later that same hour, failing to load after 5 minutes.

Is it usually like that, or could it be my internet or devices? I only use mobile data because I don't have wifi, and speeds are capped at 20Mbps, but it doesn't usually feel slow.

Is dread down for everyone?

I ended up realizing that all the .onion links I found ended with the letter “d”, but why?

cant seem to load any pages all of a sudden, any known issues?

1. Is it better to run tor on a mac or windows?

2. Should you use bridges and or tails or both even if you are in a place that doesn’t restrict it?

3. is kleopatra the same as a pgp tool or overall what is the best way to encrypt and decrypt messages?

4. What is the difference between tails and bridges?

5. is bridges good why or why not?

6. if I have bridges or tails should i run both or just one or the other?

These are all questions i’ve looked up but if I got direct feedback for each one it would be way more clear to me what the answer is especially having done a bit of research but directly asking the question and directly getting the answer is more straight forward and break through for me, so if anyone can help it means a lot and appreciate it.

I have heard that wireless keyboards and a wireless connection can weaken your opsec. Is this true? Thanks.

Had a vendor I've ordered from pretty much every month for a year. They never really answer messages, but always come within 2-4 days.

Been 10 days since I placed an order, but they disappeared from top vendors, reviews dont come on their page anymore (when before they came every day), and their "last online" thing disappeared. I checked other markets, and they've logged on to them in the last day

It kind of seems like the market might think they could potentially exit scam/be exit scamming if these things have dissappeared on the site, but idk. I dont want to be paranoid and make an unnecessary hassle for this vendor if something is happening out of their control

Or none

hey guys, I tried to acces Hidden Awnsers but it just doesn't load, is it my problem or is it really down? If yes, there is any prevision of when it will be back??

So ive been using a well known market for a while now and recently the link I’ve been using seems to say its shut down, I decided to go on daunt and it says they have 9 different links, is this suspicious? I first tried the second one and it said it was verified so I ended up signing in I also passed the URL but does that really mean much? To be safe I also went to dread which says they only have 4 links having mine included, all pgp signed does this mean it’s legit? I’m still new to all this and figured I should only trust the one link I’ve always been using considering all this phishing bs but it really doesn’t seem to be working, can anyone shed some light on this?

To run tails on, and perhaps a live with persistent storage? Mine are getting worn out sooooo it's about time to upgrade.

Is it possible to maybe run an OS in an external ssd?

My usb sticks keep needing to be reformatted, and I actually lost 2 usb sticks completely I guess they were corrupted. Is this a normal thing or am I doing something wrong

Basically the title.

I go to some lengths to hide the crypto I buy, to hide who I am when on the markets, to hide how I pay so I'm safe. But at the end, whatever I need arrives at my home address, and that is such a weak link in the whole chain.

I know nobody cares about me, and maybe I don't need to go this far, but still, it bugs me. I can't use someone else's address cause they will ask questions. If I use a drop point, then I gotta go pick it up myself so that's not great either.

How do you go around this, if you're bothered to do so? How can I get it delivered somewhere where if anyone asks questions, the answer could be "idk, could be anyone's"?

How do you go about this, what measures do you take in this regard?

Used to use it some years ago, but now I can only find a download for Linux. Any help?

I keep getting onion site not found error
