Introduction

The author of this guide wants to make it explicitly clear that he does not support drug use, manufacture or trafficking in any way, shape or form.

Converting STEEM and STEEM DOLLARS to Bitcoin

Assuming you've already found the winning algorithm on creating content, we're going to start by looking at how to convert your STEEM and STEEM DOLLARS (SBD) into Bitcoin. Currently no place exists on the clearnet or darknet that allows direct purchase of narcotics with STEEM or SBD, so we're going to have to trade them for Bitcoin. A few popular options exist as to where one can trade these 2 currencies.

Below are the sites where STEEM / BTC and SBD / BTC trading pairs exist:

Poloniex.com

Although only been around a few years, Poloniex has quickly become an epicenter for all sorts of crypto trading. They are based out of the USA and are a regulated and licensed exchange. Some ID is required of you want to increase your daily withdrawal limits.

Bittrex.com

Bittrex was the first exchange to host STEEM and STEEM DOLLAR (SBD) trading pairs for Bitcoin when the platform first launched. They have very active staff and support and generally are on top of withdrawals and deposits on the site.

Now that you've converted the STEEM / SBD from your posts into Bitcoin we start arming you with the tools you need to safely use that Bitcoin in order to purchase whatever vice it is that you enjoy while writing. Note that I'm not going into detail on how to sign up or trade on these sites.

If you can't figure that out yourself you probably don't need drugs...

How to Buy Drugs Safely over the Internet

Just like buying illegal narcotics in real life, the online purchase of drugs does not come without risk. Although plenty of security measures are taken by both buyers and sellers, there are stories of people being busted purchasing illicit substances online. Generally busts happen when people are already under investigation or practice sloppy operational security when ordering.

All this being said it is up to you to protect your identity, address and anonymity from law officials when procuring drugs online. A list of programs and tools you'll need to safely acquire drugs from online sources is listed below:

Necessary Tools/Programs:

TOR Browser: At the absolute very least you'll need TOR. What is TOR? Basically it's an encrypted web browser that was allegedly leaked from the American FBI.. As to the legitimacy of this information I myself cannot say for sure if it's got any merit. The Tor Browser uses the .onion top level domain name. Skipping the long winded technical explanation on how TOR works as it's not necessary you understand exactly how it works..

But long story short the TOR browser allows you to surf the internet anonymously because you appear to be coming from a different part of the world. This in most cases masks your true identity and allows for anonymous web browsing.

Visit the Tor Browser official site and grab their latest build: https://www.torproject.org/

PGP Key Software: It cannot be stressed enough how important encrypting sensitive data such as name and address is when you order drugs online. Although you will be using the Tor Browser which IS encrypted, your information may still be found / investigated in the event an online dealer (vendor) is raided or if the marketplace server is seized. Many different PGP software exists today, all with their own advantages and drawbacks.

An online PGP tool can be found at the following site: https://darknetmarkets.org/pgp/

Once you've grabbed the above tools you're ready to venture into the darknet markets.

Current Darknet Marketplaces:

Although it's been years since the original Darknet marketplace was raided (Silkroad) and it's developer imprisoned for life, the underground marketplaces are still very much alive. In recent years we've seen a number of fly by night operations come and go allowing vendors and international customers to order everything from marijuana to machine guns.

When doing business on these sites always make sure to take into consideration the vendors ratings and reviews. Reputation is everything on these types of sites but be wary of fake reviews and ratings.

Below is a list of currently trusted and operational dark net marketplaces:

Alphabay - A well designed, user friendly darknet market. Offers just about any drug you can possibly ever want or need. Also offers 14 day escrow (on trades it applies to) for added buyer protection. Server up-time seems to be very good according to peer review and besides the occasional DDOS attack the site appears your best bet when looking on the darknet for Drugs.

Dream Marketplace - One of the longest standing darknet marketplaces. With an incredible assortment of vendors and products to be purchased you'll likely find exactly what you need here. Offers escrow for funds (on trades it applies to) for added buyer protection. Don't be fooled by the terrible GUI on this market, it's about as legit as it gets when it comes to buying illegal drugs online.

More darknet markets DO exist. However any review found on them seemed to have mixed messages. In the name of safe drug use, no STEEM user will be referred to any site suspected of it's scamming users, So you'll have to look them up yourself...

Before we go on to the final part of this guide a word of warning MUST be mentioned here:
ALWAYS USE ESCROW WHEN BUYING DRUGS ONLINE!

Without proper escrow you WILL be scammed. You've been warned!

Safe Shipping and Reagent Testing

It's advised you ship to an address other than your own for obvious security reasons. Although I've heard from a few locals that they've never had a problem with any domestic or international order from the markets shipped to their door or post office. Always use a real name, fake names are easily picked out by your local mailmen and if you're known to live in a residence and then strange packages start arriving for some made up name.. It'll raise eyebrows and suspicion.

In the highly unlikely event your package is seized by the post office or customs, you will receive a letter stating a package has been intercepted and they'll ask you to come claim it. Absolutely under no circumstance must you ever reply to this message or fall for this trap. Unless it's in your possession you cannot be charged for it. Play dumb if you have to.. But ultimately abandon your seized drugs and try again some other time with a different name and address.

In addition to safe shipping it's highly advised you purchase a reagent testing kit. What this does is allows you to test the substances you plan to purchase online as to whether or not they are legitimate. Unscrupulous vendors may attempt to cut or add adulterated product in order to bulk up weight and make more money.

A few different types of test kits exist. An affordable one:

The reagent tests are very straight forward and generally come with instructions. The one linked above is $20 USD and good for ~50 tests or so. Highly recommended you test all substances purchased through the darknet.

Conclusion + FREE #klyeart Bongicon

Provided you take the information provide in this article and use your brain a little bit it's highly improbable you'll ever be arrested if acquiring drugs in this manner. People only tend to get caught when they get sloppy or lazy. Always remember Tor and to use PGP for your personal info. Insist on escrow and avoid listings without it unless you trust the vendor. May your highs be high and your trips groovy!
