Buying stuff from darknet markets on android phone

Oh sweet as, ill chuck an order in for a few pound now then, long as some random baby bottle ive never even heard of is fine.

What could possibly go wrong?

*I know phones arn't reccomended, Tails is. But some people do use phones, this guide is my best advice for how to do so, as safely as one can. Best practice.

Android DNM OPSec, here is how I do it:

1. I get a NEW cheap Android burner-phone, bought with cash, while wearing face-mask. Primary/Personal phone, is off at home.

2. I don't get Cellular service/plan card/activate, Just skip through phones initial setup no wifi needed, and get to the phones home-screen, then;

I just use Public WIFI, such as local resturant, cafe, bar, library, etc.

3. Download PGP App: OpenKeychain: Easy PGP

4. Download Tor from Tors site.

5. Download XMR Wallet App from trusted source. Perhaps, monerujo.

*This way, you don't even need to make any Google Play account, but you also could make a PlayStore/Google account if you want.

** Optionally, you could add a good no-log VPN here too, such as AirVPN, Mullvad, or IVPN, Xeovo, etc. Paid only with XMR or Mixed BTC.

*** Android F-Droid App-store PGP Tool to encrypt your address: "

OpenKeychain: Easy PGP

Encrypt your Files and Communications. Compatible with the OpenPGP Standard.

"

Note, the last app update for pgp tool was 2024, so it may be abandoned/outdated or just perfect and not needing an update.

**** as a alternative to encrypt your address using PGP, there is a web-form tool called: https://kleopatra.app/tools/pgp-online

that I would trust. Kleopatra is the PGP software included in Tails os, this is just a web-form version. Process: Get vendors PGP with Tor Security Shield SAFEST. Save Vendorpgpkey.txt to notes. Now if using EasyPGP APP then simply import vendors key and encrypt note, if using website then set Tor security shield to Standard/Safer to get PGP site functional (uses local browser encryption library) save encrypted pgp message to notes app, then encrypt then reset Tor to SAFEST before visiting market. Import Vendor.pgpkey into PGP tool of choice. Encrypt address, check for typos. Send order.

gold rule,never ever do anything with a phone

Depends what you're ordering. Want a few vape pens? Go ahead. Ordering a couple grams of blow ever month or two? No big concern. Planning to order ounces of coke, ketamine and MDMA every week? DM me what state you're in so I can read your future arrest report.

👍👍👍👍👍

I wouldn't do that bro, I don't vend and if I did I certainly wouldn't order a few pound unless I knew what I was doing.

I mean it's not guaranteed but it's probably very likely

ight, lemme text u rq

cleartext no encryption ofcourse

I wouldn't. Can you probably get away with it? yeah. Have other people had success with this? Yeah

I would restate your question this way:

I want to use this computer that has integrated GPS radio and was designed to share that info outside the device all while using non open-source software. Is that the same as using a computer without GPS and only field tested anonymity software run on a removable OS (TAILS)?

No.
