Title: Noob security
Post by: johnoldman on December 05, 2012, 06:17 pm
Sorry if this information is accessible elsewhere, but I could not find it. So I have signed up, and am using the TOR browser. Am I good to go, or are there additional measures I should take to be sure of anonymity? How do I purchase bitcoins? Thanks in advance.

I'll help you out since I'm sort of a newbie as well.

Purchasing BTC I think is somewhat dependent on where you live. More info here: http://www.weusecoins.com/getting-started.php

You'll also want to get PGP set up. That info, as well as a great primer on using SR can be found here: http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road

Good luck!

All the information that you need is here on the forum.
Which means you are too lazy to read through it.

For 0.5btc I will tell you everything you need to know. I'm sick and tired of helping people who are just too lazy to take the time and read/search.
For me it will cost time, perhaps even more than half an hour. So 0.5btc is reasonable, no?

PM me if you're interested. Otherwise good luck!

Just check out the 'Complete All-in-One Guide on How to Anonymously Use Silk Road'. No need to pay for that help :/

Welcome to the Road! Be smart and try to contain your excitement if you can and learn how to be safe before doing anything to crazy! But honestly, if you're just buying small quantities, you really have nothing to worry about.
