Psychedelic Bump XXXIV

I still have a bit of 2ce laying around but I have not taken any in a while.

 

Can anyone here guide me to the dark net or whatever it's called? I'm not as computer-literate as most of you, so specific info/guidance would be appreciated. It would be a merciful thing for someone to do. Thank you.

Thanks Pop. I wonder about things like do I need to get another computer? Use an old one? Are there things that any fool would know (except maybe this one). I'm not thinking to be doing anything noteworthy, but want to be careful...

 

I'm no expert. I can't imagine you would need another computer or how that would help. You know how it uses .onion links?

For example a url might look something like zyusd49ymw28ld9.onion

 

Buying a cheap labtop just to run TOR is not a bad idea. The main thing to remember is using PGP encryption. When you do that your details are just one of thousands of encrypted transactions. If police found anything it's not worth their time to crack it. They probably could not even if they wanted to PGP was designed during the Cold War for military use.

 

I'm not sure that tor protects you - I think it mostly just lets them cast you with a bad lot and presume you guilty and save everything you do for later assessment with supercomputers.

I'm not saying throw up your hands in despair and don't protect yourself - but I am saying that some things simply can't be done anonymously, specifically if they involve you making payments or taking deliveries.

Also, bump for caffeine, and the kidney pain of clarity.

 

Bitcoins allows anonymous transactions. If you do not take an extra step yes the Ip address the bitcoins are at can be traced but you can prevent that.

 

Bitcoins are only anonymous if you're not watching the entire internet - which many agencies and governments (all of whom talk, to boot) are.

Anonymity through tor and bitcoin depends on the idea that most of the internet in totally unknown and unknowable, which is, unfortionately, not how the internet works. There's nowhere to launder your information, because the whole thing is watched.

Even if we consider authorities without that kind of reach, they can plainly see that you're using tor, which makes your red tack a GIANT red tack.

If you have bitcoins, you had to get them somewhere, and chances are at some point they can be traced to your financial information. If you're taking delivery, you had to transmit an address, which can be coordinated with other information on you.

Nothing is uncrackable, nothing is untraceable, and the things that people trust most are often revealed to have been cracked/backdoored before even being announced or released. For fucks sake, the NSA has home-calling/relaying firmware sunk into WD, seagate, toshiba, and other drives, nothing you do is even close to hidden or anonymous. Computers are insecure from the inside out - boarding up the windows won't help, they're already raiding the fridge.

 

use bitcoin network over tor. use Bitcoin mixers if ur worried. this mixes your coins with a bunch of other people's coins and the ones you get back are different coins that the ones you put in, so it's much harder to tell where the coins came from.

the best thing we can do is for more people to start using Tor, that way there is a much larger pool of TOR users so you just blend in with the other tor traffic and don't stand out as much. making your activities look as generic as possible as best, less things to distinguish you from anyone else.

pretty comprehensive (long) article about psychedelics (psilocin mostly) treating end-of-life anxiety, as well as depression, addiction and other ailments of the mind.

(that's not a direct quote)


quite a good article none-the-less.

also discusses the possibility of using psychedelics for "the betterment of good people," and even for studying spirituality and creativity! that would be truly amazing if actually put into practice.


a lot of it was stuff i've read elsewhere, but i thought it was well done. nice to see it all in one place.
share the link with your less "heady" friends. spread the word.

 

I was on the internet once

 

I can't remember how I came across that article the other day as well but sadly I was interrupted before finishing it. Will check it out again :rastana:

 

?...where is that confused, question mark smiley?

 

how long to boil russett potatoes

 

^^^did you finally get to try LSD or something....and went off the fucking deep end?

 

right Ace, I think Roor's point is that at some point the bitcoin address is traced unless you tumble. But that can only confirm the coins were sent to you (my name is not attached to mine and I buy in cash). And once on the deep web simply having them on a site like silk road is not illegal, you could buy something legal there.

 

hahahaha sadly I did not.

I did have to replant all my cacti this week because they all outgrew their pots again, so that's going well

I think I'm gonna 2c-bizzle ot molly soon. I'm overdue.

 

Excellent article link posted by Porkstock above. That's about as good and comprehensive a (relatively) short article I've seen on the evolution of psychedelic therapy. Some discussion of traditional use (other than when a white guy ate some mushrooms) would have been good. Traditional use definitely is often related to mental health, so would seem relevant. Still, a GREAT review.

The scope and depth of these substances is unbelievable. What a blessing.

One thing that stood out to me was the statement that of 500 administrations of psilocybin there were no adverse effects or events. That's astonishing - talk about safe! Amoxicillin isn't that safe!

 

haven't tripped in about 4 months. bump for some possible psychedelia today. dunno if i should stick to LSD (the only psychedelic i've taken since August) or change it up and (re)try some 4-aco-dmt (it's been almost three years since i've taken any of that).
