Does anyone have any idea about a trusted Escrow service that is 100% reliable.

Honestly how bad is it if you use tails & a tor brigde?

Tails already does so much + randomizes the MAC so to the router/ISP it should just look like a new device on the LAN right?

My subnet is the basic /24 one so it should not be that suspicious to the ISP if there a "new" devices connecting once in awhile.

And yeah bridges work for this purpose too.

Genuine question (yes ive read the bible) just want a more nuanced answer than that & I would appreciate if someone could explain why instead of just blindly following the bible.

Thanks alot if anyone replies.

Keeps having trouble finding the site but as of now I need a proper trustworthy directory

The question of how to get Monero gets asked a lot around here, and it’s usually followed by a bunch of scam/phishing links and other terrible advice.

The best strategy is always to buy Litecoin or Bitcoin and then swap it for Monero using a no-KYC instant exchange. I have created a new subdread to keep track of the most reliable exchanges and provide a place to warn others about scams.

i downloaded tails and tried everything form tails troubleshoot to writing and blacklisting amd from the boot settings and then i tried in the bios the uma frame buffer size to 2 g but nothing i came to the conclusion that i have a problem woth the grafic interface because this linux distro is missing some specific firmare to turn on my screen but im not sure could someone help me or it’s over until tails will do some changes in the kernel

So long story short I created a new tails drive and I swear I clicked the pgp save button to save to persistent storage when I created my persistent storage. I had to log off and when I went to log on again all my saved pgp keys were gone and the pgp button was unchecked in persistent. I messed up and did not save my private key that I could find, I did save my public one though and the footprint, but is there anyway to recover my private key? I read somewhere about maybe if I knew what time the new keypair was created I could maybe enter some codes into the console and try to maybe recover the private one? Does anyone have any pointers for me pretty please? I would appreciate it a lot.

So I've heard not to send crypto from the source you bought it from, which is the best way to send crypto without being it traced back to me?

The onion will be offline for a few more days, but the clearnet site is back.

Safe surfing everyone.

Hey! I’ve been using a PO Box for a month or two and it always says delivered to PO Box on informed. This current one was stuck in a different state for 3 days, and it’s saying “ready for pick up” instead of delivered. Do we think this is a set up? Thanks!

Edit: this is in the us. Could it be possible they just ran out of parcel lockers?

Truncated HTTP responses from all (?) the interesting hidden services:

Easy to get a sense of what's out there without actually visiting the onions yourself. Use your web browser's Find command (control-f maybe) to search for words.

Ask me if you have a question.

Do not do business with that account and please get Torzon to deactivate that account it's been taken over by someone posing as the account holder trying to get a refund on the account holder's purchase and somehow locked them out of their own profile, DOODLEBOB69 says that when he tries to click on anything after logging in it reroutes him to the starting page and they keep begging for the refund in the dispute page like he must be broke as fuck to be trying to steal from a poor guy that's dying and somehow blocking him from his own account!

After maybe an address or potentially a what’s app or telegram? Or maybe an R/?

So I get that PGP encryption should be used everywhere but how are you sending messages? Like are websites just using basic https over tor for transport? Do you jump to a third party service simplex for communication? How about talking to a mate, how/where do you talk if you need it to be private/secure? Or does none of this matter in light of PGP?

Im looking dw messengers sites rather than surface web messenger sites any available?
