Ok, so just move to Monero. Or use a mixer. Mindblowing, I know.
Or Zcash perhaps, I guess?

#12Did I misread the article or does they're entire hack consist solely of scraping the internet for places you may have posted your public address? This is the oldest trick in the book.

#14> ... the evidence of that drug deal may still be hanging around in plain view of law enforcement, even years after the Silk Road was torn off the dark web. How about your delivery address being in the merchant's raided servers?
You don't seriously think people order drugs to their own addresses, right?
Where else? If I order drugs to somebody else's address, they'll get the drugs and not me.

The guides on places like /r/DarkNetMarkets do actually recommend shipping to your own address, under your own name.

I'm sure a lot of people did. Getting caught using a fake address, stealing mail etc. is clear evidence of a crime.
Getting mail at your house? Not something you can prevent and it would likely be easy to claim ignorance of the contents.

Send it to a friend of yours that doesn't do drugs but will give it to you.
Edit: reason I wrote that, is that I remember one time, some dude found weed on the street, and since he didn't smoke he gave it to hit friend. So the same here. (But it's a joke cause mail+drugs+address+police no bueno)

The theory is that if the post office contacts the police, the police will have the post office confirm the delivery, which you could then deny. There was a Cleveland Indians player a few years that had a big package of pot delivered to his house and his downfall was signing for the package.

That's not a way to treat a friend. You would let the Fed's bust their house?
