How to get my Vendor Status here on the forums?

[ExpertGrowNL]

Hi there,

Does anybody know how i can get my vendor status here in the forums.
I didn't require it in the old forums because because not posting a lot.

Cheers

I have the same question. I see some with their tags already and can't figure out what to to about it.

Hey, I'm not sure if this gives you the vendor status on your profile but it will confirm that you are a trusted vendor from the old SR:

'To all former Silk Road vendors, we will be providing you free vendor accounts on the new marketplace, I do not believe you should have to pay again for the privilege of selling if you are already established and I further recognize the losses many of you unfortunately made during the seizure of the original site.

To prevent scammers, we will need to verify that you really were a vendor on SR.

To do this, we ask you PM me with a  signed message with your old PGP, linking me to your PGP key on the old forums. '

Why would you want a tag beside your name so police can match posts to activity?
Get a new account. Call it RandomBob.

Encrypt a new message to DPR using his key.
In it, you tell him your old vendor name ExpertGrowNL, and sign it with your original vendor key that he can match up to SR forums.
You then send him your NEW "RandomBob" public PGP key for all forum correspondence, and ask to be let into the private seller forums.

Now you can freely post in the police state watched vendor forums, but nobody knows who you are, so if you slip up OpSec then you'll be OK. You have fully compartmentalized your business from forums, which are not business they are largely social. Only new DPR will know who you are.

This. But I believe Sarge is dealing with vendor verification.

Very good. What I personally am most concerned about is the tag also allows a seller into the vendor roundtable where there is good discussion shared specifically regarding what we do. I definitely would like a fresh start in every way..

Everybody in the vendor round table should be vetted by admins here and then using totally pseudo anon names not at all connected to the main site, each with a new PGP key that gives away no information either. Make sure you never drop intel like dates and times you shipped stuff, seizures, anything like that. Assume you are writing to fbi@fbi.gov at all times BECAUSE YOU ARE lol. These forums are a golden intel source for agencies that love to do stats and analysis.

If you make a public forum account with your vendor name to advertise, then make sure you only ever use it for short business replies and re-read everything you write before pressing send. Assume everybody is trying to extract intel from you at all times. Don't talk about your favorite books or music this isn't livejournal or facebook.

Can't get sarges gpg key to load for me from his profile? Anyone have a link to it elsewhere?

He fucked it up with whitespaces when he uploaded it

I have been noticing this problem but it doesn't seem to be consistent with each copy and paste even of the same key. Sometimes it works. Sometimes they come up with empty white space fucking it up.

When copying keys highlight the first to the last character carefully, if you start to drag from over blank space it will pick up other hidden forum objects and cause the white space error. You can also fix this by pasting the copied key into notepad, highlighting the white space and then replacing it with nothing to delete them all.
