But if all OP wants to do with PGP is encrypt for others and never decrypt he will be OK without his own key.

Yeah, I get that.

How important is MAC spoofing? I understand this is another thing using Tails/Liberte does for us.

It's only useful if you're accessing public wifi, but that also depends on the circumstances. If you walk into a Starbucks, it seems pointless to spoof your MAC address, since the people in the store know you are there. You are probably recorded on cameras too. If you're sitting outside somewhere, or you're in a very large crowd and unlikely to be noticed, or the people who own the wifi don't know you are accessing it, then it would be more useful.

At home it's pretty much useless, especially if you go through a home router, since only your router sees your MAC address.

Silk Road discussion / Re: Feedback Fixing

A couple things are on your side. Ratings from new accounts with little or no purchase history are weighted less. Also, the feedback is weighted by half each month, so in the long term it is worth zero as long as you keep vending and your recent ratings are good.

Security / Re: Should we open clearnet pages in Tor?

I am legit LMAO, kmf.  Every good punchline comes right at the end.

topshelf, that's exactly what I'm saying. By filtering, the attacker removes all the IP addresses that are proxies, VPNs, Tor exit nodes, and he's left with real home IP addresses.

Countdown, hell yeah, come on over. :)

livestr0ng, IRC is a protocol that allows many people to chat at the same time. It's like multi-person IM. We just hang out and chat.

Trappy, if all else fails, try port 9050 instead of 9150.

Trappy, is your browser bundle running? Pidgin needs to go through Tor. Don't shut down TBB.

Other than that, it should work as I wrote it above. Did you get the server right? In the advanced tab, is the Port set to 6667?

Does it give you any error messages?

A much overlooked part of our community is the silcroad IRC server. It's a great place to chill and get to know people, and of course it's totally anon.

If you're bored and looking for people to chat with, stop by!

Don't know what IRC is? Not sure how to log on? No problem.

Download Pidgin from http://pidgin.im/


UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS 2013-09-20 by Atomos

Here's a tip for correct account setup in pidgin for security:

Basic Tab:
 Username:    You choose your nick obv. (forum name preferred)
 Server name: silcroadg3c3mtu6.onion
 Password:     LEAVE-BLANK
 Local Alias:    LEAVE-BLANK

Advanced Tab: (important)
 Port: 6667       
 Enc:  UTF-8
 Username: DO NOT LEAVE BLANK - Windows users - it will take your account name, i've warned about this before.  Anything BUT blank.
 All 3 tickboxes unchecked

Proxy Tab: (important)

 Standard OS with TorBrowser:
  Proxy Type: Tor/Privacy (SOCKS5)
  Host: 127.0.0.1   
  Port:  9150     (If you use an older tor version, or standalone: port 9050)   It will be 9150 or 9050 - try the other if you get "Connection Refused"
  User/Pass: BLANK

 Tails / Whonix / TorLiveCD:
  Proxy Type: Use GNOME Defaults

That's it - Tails/Whonix are setup to route EVERYTHING through tor, there is no need to change this. (You'll just break it if you do)


Right, so the people have spoken, they wanted their own room away from prying eyes and trolls - we call this #cheers. When you join for the first time you'll just be stuck with a pidgin window saying "Available"

Now Click "Buddies / Join a Chat / Room List (button)"

Join #public after posting here to say "hello, this is me that's joining" - Then make yourself known, or msg me over irc. This way we know you own the nick, verify you and put you on the auto invite list.

Security / Re: Now on Tails, but what about Windows?
« on: June 14, 2013, 04:05 am »
Well, it's up to you, but the only way to remove all traces is a full disk wipe. Consider all the stuff that the browser bundle leaves behind on Windows:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=148291.msg1152452#msg1152452

Consider the difficulties of securely erasing data on a hard drive:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=99520.msg699299#msg699299

Individual file erasure is not enough.

If you really want to get rid of all traces, you need to download DBAN (http://dban.org) and nuke your hard drive, then reinstall the OS.

Should you do it with fewer than 10 purchases? Probably not worth it, honestly, but that's up to you.

If you want some people to chat with, get on the silcroad IRC server. Download Pidgin and follow the instructions in the official thread (search the forum for 'silcroad' in the topic subject and you'll find it).

butterfly labs dumping all their coins i bet. Thats why it took forever to get their machines out, they probably were using them to mine

This is a point that I was making. If ASICs could pay for themselves in 9 days or whatever, why would BFL sell them? Just run them all and in the first 100 days they'd make 11 times as much money as if they sold them.

Security / Re: Tails GnuPG settings
« on: June 14, 2013, 02:25 am »
Yep. Open the file manager and go to View -> Show Hidden Files.

Enter the .gnupg folder. Open gpg.conf in a text editor. Add this line to the end of the file:

no-emit-version

Save it.

Tails is AMAZING. I LOVE it so much. It's my favorite OS period. I like it more than OS X (except Mavericks, nothing beats that lol), Windows 7 or 8, and any other Linux distro I have tried. Lovelovelove it.

I tried Windows 8 today for the first time for an extended period of time. I'm a pretty technically inclined person, but this was me:

Fuck that shit. Why is everyone -- Windows, Gnome, Unity -- hellbent on throwing away 30 years of desktop metaphors that worked?
