Title: Is it ok to use a clearnet username to purchase stuff in SR?
Post by: LatinKid on February 04, 2013, 12:54 am

SWIM is going to buy some THC gems, and is using the same username that he uses on nearly every site he goes onto on the clearweb. Should he order the goods with a different username? My thought is that the two can be connected, but idk how deep investigators can go as far as the username of the purchaser.

I see no reason to take the risk. My SR username is random letters and numbers.

Don't use SWIM for crying out loud, you're on TOR ::)

DO NOT use a username that can be tied to you!  In other words - do not use the same username that you use on clearnet!!!!
