http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/sellers_guide
INTRODUCTION:
So you're an eager noob lurking these forums desperately looking for a straightforward, simple yet DETAILED step-by-step guide?
You're in luck because here you have EVERYTHING you need to get bitcoins anonymously and discreetly, get them into your SR account, and most importantly keep yourself ANONYMOUS and completely out of harm's way, by laundering (erasing any trace or footprint of where your bitcoins originated from), giving you all the current options and services and explaining the WHOLE process, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
Reading this guide will completely show you how to navigate SR, and will simply explain what SR Escrow System, FE, Finalize, Resolve MEANS and how each of these features work (their purpose)
This guide will also give you additional tips to keep yourself safe and comfortable using SR. This guide will educate you COMPLETELY and answer all the OVERWHELMING questions haunting noobs first visiting SR.
Basically this your go-to THREAD FOR ALL YOUR QUESTIONS!
all the other guides tell noobs to use mtgox, which freezes your account if you're using TOR, which is lame. i choose blockchain.info instead because it's very popular here, according to the GURUS and extensive research my conclusion: blockchain is the best online wallet for my needs.
WHY? tor accessible, cool interface, flexible send options, highest security, etc.
Scroll down and we'll also include many useful LINKS (darknet / clearnet) we know you'll appreciate.
Note: the Getting Bitcoins guide is for USA only. However the additional information about laundering bitcoins, security tips, SR's Escrow, FE, Features etc, is universally applicable.
GRAHAMGREEN'S EDITS AND CORRECTIONS TO THIS GUIDE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE READ ALSO. SCROLL DOWN FOR HIS EXPERT REVISONS, DETAILED ADDITIONS TO THIS GUIDE AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION written by a much more experienced roader whom I consider a true SR GURU
So here we go:
1) THROUGH TOR go to www.blockchain.info set up an account (use a mailinator or any disposable email to register)
2) Login to blockchain and click on 'Wallet'
3) Click on 'Receive Money'. there you'll see your bitcoin address. (a bitcoin address looks something like this: 2tnMhKfSAf97f4wJcqTu6dr8toj6iaxy7y)
4) Go to www.bitinstant.com (through TOR)
You'll see:
- Pay From: select 'Major Bank Branch' or 'CVS / DR'
- Pay To: select 'Bitcoin Address'
Underneath you'll see:
- Bitcoin Address: put your bitcoin address from Blockchain. best thing to do is simply COPY your bitcoin address from blockchain and PASTE it here.
- Amount: whatever your lovely heart desires
- Email: put in a random mailinator address
5) You will now be directed to a Trustcash / ZIPZAP site.
- submit your zip code and click 'Choose Location' for the closest bank to you
- enter a fake name. enter your mailinator email you used for Bitinstant
- click "Create deposit invoice"
6) click 'Print Deposit Invoice'
- you now have your paper printed out and ready to bring to the bank.
- this paper has NO information or details about your fake name, NO mention of anything bitcoin related.. absolutely NOTHING is on this paper but an account and routing number.
7) Go to the bank / CVS / DR with this printed paper and cash
- give the teller the paper. she will simply read the account and routing number off the paper and take your cash. then she'll probably give you back the paper and an invoice.
- if asked, simply say you're paying a bill. they never ask.. never happens.
- absolutely NO ID is required. if asked for it, grunt and say you never needed it before and you left it at home.. but they won't ask. just never happens.
- remember paying bills is an everyday completely normal thing. millions of people go to banks daily depositing cash into people's or business's accounts for legitimate regular reasons.
- also remember buying bitcoins is LEGAL.
That's it. the bitcoins will show up in your Blockchain wallet literally within minutes.
theoretically you could send your bitcoins directly to SR now, but lets play it safe and "launder" your coins to blot out any sort of "paper trail". The idea behind laundering your coins is obvious: erase the link between the coins and you. So don't be impatient / lazy. Follow these easy steps to guarantee your anonymity.
1) Go to www.instawallet.org OR www.easywallet.org (through TOR) and it will give you your own personal secret site with your own unique bitcoin address. make sure to bookmark this instawallet page because if you lose this link, you lose anything in it.
- instawallet or easywallet is a temporary e-wallet. each time you refresh the site you receive a unique randomized bitcoin address and a new secret link. This is where you store your bitcoins before sending them to SR.
2) Now go back to your Blockchain wallet and click on "Send Money"
- simply enter your Instawallet / EASYWALLET.ORG bitcoin address and the amount
- Send payment
Now your bitcoins have been sent from Blockchain to your Instawallet or EASYWALLET.
The next 2 steps are optional and not necessary, can be skipped. BUT if you're meticulous and rightfully PARANOID like me, you should continue with the next 2 easy steps. If you don't give a fuck, go ahead and skip to step 5.
3) Now open up a an Easywallet (through TOR) page, which will give you another unique bitcoin address. This is your second temporary e wallet address. (bookmark also)
4) Send your bitcoins from your first Instawallet page to your Easywallet page.
5) now go to SR, and click on Account
- there you'll see your SR bitcoin address
6) Go to your Easywallet that has your coins, and simply enter your SR bitcoin address and press send!
That's it, my darling friends!
Just be patient and within a few HOURS or less you'll see your bitcoins in your SR account READY for your rascally crusades!
If you're truly of the deranged, super paranoid kind you SHOULD use a site called BitcoinFog. It's a service that takes your coins and tumbles them to SHREDS, completely washing or BLEACHING them for several hours or even days. your coins are IMMACULATELY CLEAN.
you can do that instead of the instawallet steps or in addition to them. depends on your level of paranoia.
Some alternatives and different options:
- Some people skip Instawallet altogether and only use bitcoinfog alone which serves it's purpose just fine. Bitcoinfog is truly amazing.
So to simplify the whole thing, you have many formulas to choose from:
- bitinstant > bitcoin software > bitcoinfog > SR = EXCELLENT!
- bitinstant > blockchain > instawallet > instawallet > SR = considered safe, fast and secure. appropriate for most of us.
- bitinstant > blockchain > easywallet > SR = SAFE!
- bitinstant > blockchain > instawallet > SR = good enough for some, not for me. fastest
- bitinstant > blockchain > bitcoin fog > SR = safer, slightly slower since you need to wait for bitcoinfog to do it's tumbling.
- bitinstant > blockchain > instawallet > instawallet > bitcoin fog > SR = safest, ultra-paranoia stealth ninja mode, requires patience but provides the most peace of mind
- bitinstant > Easywallet > BitcoinFog > SR = SAFEST also.
remember, buying bitcoins is 1000% LEGAL. You can simply buy bitcoins regularly (not using TOR), then send the bitcoins to another wallet that you'll only log into through TOR.
Coinbase.com is the easiest way to get your coins by linking your bank account (routing / account number, etc). Only catch is it takes about 4-5 days until you receive the coins, which can be a GOOD thing taking into consideration the awesome rise of bitcoin value lately.
Mt. Gox requires photo identification. You deposit funds directly to their bank account which usually requires a trip to the bank.
OPTIONS THAT INVOLVE LINKING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT / exposing your identity:
- coinbase.com > easywallet / instawallet > SR
- mt gox > easywallet > SR
As you can see, you have different options depending on your patience and paranoia level.
Bonus useful tips:
1) When entering bitcoin addresses ALWAYS COPY PASTE them instead of manually typing in that long ass address. Always triple check you have the right bitcoin address as your destination.
2) Never store bitcoins for long periods of time (for example more than 1 week) in TEMPORARY bitcoin address wallets such as Easywallet or Instawallet. These temportary wallets are mostly useful for moving funds around. If you want to store your bitcoins somewhere for a long period of time use your Blockchain.info wallet or just keep all your bitcoins in your SR account. They will not disappear ever from there.
3) ALWAYS ENCRYPT YOUR ADDRESS (PGP) when placing orders. vendors appreciate that.
some vendors state on their seller page listings that orders will be cancelled if the address is sent unencrypted.
4) Don't use empty houses or drop locations to receive packages. That kind of shit raises suspicions. Insist that the vendors use professionally printed properly aligned labels with your address and name in all CAPS. If you're ordering small personal use amounts from trusted vendors using your home address is much less risky than sending packages to an abandoned house. Postal workers know what to look for with these tricks. You can use your name slightly misspelled or altered. Some people have reported success using names of previous tenants that lived / rented your place before.
5) PGP is highly important. Never underestimate encryption for sensitive information. Encrypt your address when sending to vendors ALWAYS!
- scroll down to find links on how to learn what PGP is or it's purpose.
6) - When you're required to FE, please take the time to update your feedback once you receive your items so others can read and learn from your experience. We hate seeing a vendor with all 5/5 feedback saying "FE, will update later" and no REVIEWS about the actual product.
To update your feedback, go to 'Account' on SR and you'll see 'View Feedback'. There you can modify / edit your feedback. Always think about the community and how to better serve / educate us all.
Basic information about ESCROW, STATS AND FE:
Another very important topic for noobs to UNDERSTAND: Your buying stats mean so fucking much for your survival in SR. If you're coming on here to scam vendors for free shit, you're a piece of shit and your stats will reflect that. Once you become part of SR, and you start purchasing your goodies, as a buyer you need to follow the SIMPLE procedure of SR's ESCROW system. That way everyone including you can continue to enjoy SR without unnecessary bullshit.
The Escrow system is simple and brilliant. SR temporarily holds your money.. which means the vendor you are buying from does not receive your bitcoins UNTIL you receive your order. Once you receive your order you must click FINALIZE, then SR releases your bitcoins to the vendor. The escrow exists so both parties feel relatively safe and comfortable doing business with each other, preventing risk and satisfying both sides. The vendor is putting his profit on hold until you finalize the transaction, so you are responsible to make sure your vendor gets the money he DESERVES.
The problem is a bunch of lowlifes decide to NOT finalize their orders, so these vendors are out on product and the coins they deserve. These kind of shitty buyers are causing more and more vendors to require FE (Finalizing Early).
You will see the word FE tossed around a lot. FE means Finalize Early. That means your vendor will get your money before shipping your product. The risk is all on your side in that case. That is why we all hate having to FE because of the slight risk to us. Theoretically a shithead vendor can decide NOT to ship your product(s) after you've FE'd. Technically he is paid in full and it all comes down to trusting the vendor's reputation. Some vendors require buyers with less than 5-10 successful transactions to FE. Or a vendor could request FE for an international order. All depends on the vendor, the listing and circumstances.
*Added by grahamgreene: "Buyers are NEVER required to FE. Finalizing Early is the choice of the buyer - it is important for new users to realize that they are NOT required to FE under any circumstances. If a vendor will not sell to them without FE, they can choose to use a vendor that does not require FE. This is an agorist marketplace, not a fascist marketplace.
On the topic of FE, if one does choose to do so they are not forced to leave feedback there and then. After clicking 'Finalize', they simply need to click on any link to take them away from item feedback page, and they then leave their feedback when they receive their item so as people don't see a load of "FE" feedbacks."
- Never finalize early for anyone but the top 20 vendors I’d say.
- Read reviews on the forum before jumping in.
The reason some vendors want FE is because of a few rotten pieces of shits that abuse the noble, rewarding Escrow System that really makes SR a satisfying stress-free place to do business.
That is precisely why your STATS mean everything on SR. Once your stats show you are a reliable hassle-free buyer you can avoid having to FE. Remember that vendors screen your stats just like you screen their feedback / reviews.
If you're a shitty buyer vendors will simply deny serving you or make you FE. Plus you're a scumbag.
If you're a good buyer with good stats vendors will allow you to stay within escrow, and if you're lucky you might even get some special treatment / perks. So work on being a good buyer if you're happy with your goods / services received.
We have this ridiculously unbelievable BLESSING to buy any drug imaginable with a few clicks, like shopping on amazon. Instead of dealing with shady lowlife street dealers, we get to shop for our goodies in a sophisticated way, knowing precisely what you're getting, with detailed descriptions about purity, brand names, and all the knowledge we need to make educated, safe purchases. Instead of relying on the word from moron street dealers that can't give you any of these luxuries. This is SOMETHING valuable we need to cherish and MAINTAIN.
So respect the Escrow system, that's there to CONSOLE you, respect SR's conduct, and HONOR THE HARMONY.. so we can keep this thing going forever. So we can have easier honest transactions with vendors. And so we can show gratitude to SR and the community.
--
Same principles applies to the vendors.
Mostly we have honorable vendors that work hard to get their good feedback and reputation. They provide us with good quality gear and professional customer service. There are also few scumbag vendors selling garbage or selective scamming. The way our stats matter to vendors, their feedback and forum reviews immensely matter to us. We expect remarkable, premium quality product and top notch service. We set our standards high and there are many wonderful vendors that can accommodate our refined cravings and experienced palettes with GOOD SHIT. Those vendors get the well deserved 5/5 feedback and have the forums buzzing like crazy spreading the word..
When you're looking for a vendor, besides the obvious best selling listings that dominate the first pages, search the forums for more detailed in depth reviews..
You can find each drug has it's "vendor review thread". Those threads are packed with amazing posts by amazing people. Here in the forun you can find out about new vendors just setting up shop with OUTSTANDING products. So use these forums to find the hidden gems, new vendors that have FIRE shit, that want your business so their feedback can grow.
Lets say your order doesn't arrive or something went wrong, that is what the RESOLVE button is for. That will prompt a mini chat type interface between you and the vendor allowing some back-n-forth discussion regarding partial or full refunds, reships, or anything else that might remedy the problem. Good vendors truly care about their customers so before starting a thread bashing a vendor or giving negative feedback, message him/her first or go through the RESOLVE process to hopefully find a suitable solution.
Don't make a habit of asking for refunds unless it us truly genuinely necessary. Because REMEMBER: having too many refunds, or a reoccurring unusual patterns of problematic complaints will negatively affect your stats!
SCAMMERS, ETC:
Here on SR we are a special well-bred, noble breed of sophisticated drug user, defying all logic and stigma that the typical drug user carries.. we try our best to maintain the MUTUAL RESPECT and courtesy between vendor and buyer.
unfortunately there will always be pieces of shits trying to run cons and scam. whether it's on SR, or in the streets. in the streets at least we're able to toss medium sized bricks directly towards their chins or jaw, but here we have something else.
This is very important to UNDERSTAND: scamming and any monkey business doesn't fly here. If you have any shitty intentions I'll clearly explain why you SHOULDN'T EVEN DARE OR ATTEMPT TO SCAM, or play games with vendors:
The vendors have their own private forum. In their forum they have a BLACKLIST of BANNED CUSTOMERS that all vendors monitor and post in regularly. Once you're in this list you're fucked.
Any buyer on here attempting to scam, not finalize their orders, score free drugs, or ANY other types of remotely shady / scummy bullshit acts, will simply be ADDED and permanently LOGGED into this infamous BLACKLIST DATABASE of customers NEVER to deal with. But wait, not only your username will be posted but your NAME AND ADDRESS too!
even if you re register new SR accounts, your address / name will still be on this list. This is to truly keep these shameless, thieving scoundrels / rodents away from our loving community.
There you have it!
Eat your vegetables, take your multivitamins, brush your teeth and stay hydrated always. ;D
love,

BRAINWALLET.ORG
http://brainwallet.org/ - The most secure and paranoid option of all is the brain wallet – storing a bitcoin address and private key entirely in your brain. This is easier than it sounds: a private key is 256 bits long, so it is about as hard to memorize as 50 words of English prose or 10 phone numbers, although you can settle for even less than that at the expense of some security.
There are three ways to create a brain wallet. The first, and most obvious, is to create an address/private key pair with bitaddress.org, blockchain.info or vanitygen and memorize it as is. However, this option is the most difficult to memorize. The second is to generate an address/private key pair and use a tool like Grondilu’s Bitcoin Bash Tools or the Electrum wallet to generate a list of words from the private key which you can more easily memorize, and then use the tool to convert back when you need to. The third is to do the reverse – create the private key from the passphrase, which you can choose yourself. Since almost any 256-bit value can be used as a private key with Bitcoin’s ECDSA cryptography, you can take the SHA256 hash of any password or phrase (the tools for this are very widely available both online and offline) and then import the result into the blockchain.info wallet in offline mode to get the address for that key. The process for sending bitcoins is exactly the same as that for offline/paper wallets: use a tool to create the transaction offline, and then use an online computer to publish it.

G-D FORBID IF LAW ENFORCEMENT COMES INTO THE PICTURE:
DO NOT TALK TO POLICE. I can’t stress this enough. Don’t even deny anything. Your only sentences should be: “Am I free to go officer, or am I being detained?” “I’m not speaking till I get a/my lawyer” “I do not consent to any searches”. If you say anything else you may inadvertently incriminate yourself with something you say, just DON’T do it.
It’s also worth mentioning that police may say they will go easy on you if you talk. Police CANNOT offer deals, it is a trick.
Never consent to searches. Make them get a warrant.
Lawyer up. He is your mouth from this point.
- Know your rights.
- Always be polite and courteous to police.
- Ask to call your lawyer: never talk about, admit or deny anything.
- Do not consent to a search unless the police have a warrant. Be extremely clear.
- Ask "Am I under Arrest? Am I Free to Go?"

Here's a case study on refusing consent to search.
Police member: We'd like your permission to search this vehicle. Do you consent to that?
Person B produces mobile phone or microcasette recorder and hits record: No, I decline to consent to you searching my vehicle. Please provide your name, registered number, rank and station details, as your are required to upon request, before we proceed further.
Police member, extremely shocked, complies
Police member: May I ask why you decline?
Person B: If you had any legitimate reason to search this vehicle, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? I decline your request for consent to search.
If they DO have a search warrant and are, however, already conducting a search inside your house, if you are ever accused of a felony, as I understand it, you have the legally recognized right to invoke a lawyer to be PRESENT to make sure the search is being conducted properly. The police legally have to STOP THE SEARCH and WAIT FOR YOUR LAWYER TO BE PRESENT.
