Silk Road forums

That's true, it's different for shippers. They should be taking added security measures. It is easy to get a list of the public relays, and there are only about 800 entry guards, so LE could contact the main ISPs of that city and ask for all users who connect to those IP addresses. The density of Tor users is fairly low, so it would be a short list. Getting all the bridges is a lot harder, but not impossible. Bridges could still be useful by making LE's job harder. A VPN also might help in that situation, but you would want to get one outside of your country.

A private, unpublished bridge with obfuscation would be the safest. Rent some VPSes in Iceland or Malaysia and set up bridges, LE won't know to look at those. I mean, connections to those IPs will be lost in the tens of thousands of other IP addresses that users in that city connect to on a daily basis.

He created a vendor account on the most famous online black market in the world, choosing an unusual username – the only other place it could be found was on his BMW’s numberplate.

Jesus fucking Christ.

is mining coins actually viable and or profitable in any way? taking into account costs like electricity and hardware?

Do you understand the security implications of that? LE could create a web site that nobody knows about and visits. They could post the link on this forum, and every IP address in the server log would be a forum member. If those are real IP addresses (not exit nodes), they could subpoena the ISPs to learn the identities.

In this case, you're pretty safe because lots of people around the world will be reading that article, but you should be in the habit of visiting all clearnet sites posted on this forum over Tor.

If you submitted it to Erowid over Tor, then you should be safe.

Honestly, I think they do that to keep Tor technology from getting banned.

It also helps relay operators when LE knows what Tor is and doesn't go on useless raids.

They smuggle it in gasoline.

If you let sit out for a day or two, it will evaporate.
