Hi I use Tor maximum security.. I will waste just a few little money. So.. I have to buy the bitcoins in one place and then using another place to create a bitcoins wallet? Thanks for your explanation it seems very clear but I am kinda retarded when it comes to thisYou want a good VPN. Personally, I believe it's worth paying for things like this because the free ones are frequently a source of adware, spyware, viruses etc.
But anyway,. On the regular internet, you can go to any number of sites to buy bitcoin. I was having problems because the bank weren't fans of the way I was using my bitcoin (and I know others had the same issue), but I started buying at Kucoin upon a recommendation. They're Chinese, so they don't care (was what I was told and it seems to be working ok).
The first time you use it, they will ask for some photo ID like a driver's license or passport, but it's usually just the once.
On logging into the site, you will need to complete captchas and possibly use an authenticator app. I don't use Google authenticator because it had bad reviews about being glitchy. I use this one, which has always worked perfectly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.jmh.authenticatorpro
Once you've brought the required amount of bitcoin and it is visible in your account (don't worry if it takes a few minutes), you will want to withdraw it.
For this you need the address that you intend to send it to, be it your own wallet or one that you use on a website. It will ask you to enter this. Then you choose the Network you want to use. Chances are it will be the first one that says BTC (bitcoin).
Next you need to enter the amount you want to send..you can choose to send all if you wish.
Then you click complete.
Again you will need to enter a withdrawal code that has been sent to your email account and use an authenticator, for your own safety.
And that's it!
you may have to wait about 30 minutes for it to clear the Blockchain, but that's your money turned into bitcoin and where you want it
Now, if you're spending it on the darknet, this is when you turn in your VPN. Just don't go on there without it being switched on. It's like that dream people get where they go out without their trousers on.
Can't I send the money directly from kucoin to the seller?You want a good VPN. Personally, I believe it's worth paying for things like this because the free ones are frequently a source of adware, spyware, viruses etc.

The markets that I have used all give you your own personal wallet with its own address. You send the money there, then choose what you want to buy. The money goes into escrow, which means it's held until you receive the goods and finalize the order, releasing the funds to them.
The short answer is you probably shouldn't. I'd agree that Monero looks like the better option. Still, Monero may not be the perfect solution. If you need to rely on a project to do something important for you, IMO you should try to understand it as best you can and "taking someone else's word for it" as little as possible.
The point of KYC is to tie your activities to your genuine, real-world identity. I don't know the details of the processes involved but it's definitely ongoing. Are they really going to care about individuals spending their otherwise legitimate crypto on darknet markets? No idea.
The Tor Project itself recommends against using a VPN with Tor. This seems to mostly be because it requires extra effort, care, and trust for no gain in anonymity if you can already access Tor and there's no issues with your ISP or whoever knowing just the fact you're using Tor.
Exactly. I wouldn't use a market that didn't offer an escrow service. Of course, I personally wouldn't use a market at all.... but if I did using escrow is just common sense.
You don't want a VPN in TOR. Your ISP will know you're using TOR, but they won't know where you're going or what you're doing. You can control your connection with TOR, but you can't control the connection the VPN makes... if the VPN company leaks data, it will lead directly to you. If you're worried about the market you're using being compromised, you can daisy-chain proxies around the globe through TOR. That's complex, unless you have the set-up for it.
That's why you use a service like localmonero. It's a face-to face transaction, it only goes bad if the person you're transacting with is a glowie, or is under surveillance.
Just use TOR, and set it up according to the instructions on the site I gave you. I don't know what "Tor maximum security" is... but the course of action you have set apon is filled with fraud, and you have to be precise in your understanding and actions.
Many of the localmonero exchangers deal in other cryptos, as well. When you contact them, just ask.
Don't ever give anyone your information like this, under any circumstances. This is not a brick and morter banking institution you're dealing with.
But I'll have to do that when I open a wallet....... Guys you could be more clear explaining your stuff. Everyone say a different thing.. line the one who says don't buy bitcoins.. wtf? I am saying I need bitcoins. Don't talk to me about dunno what monero shit because I dunno wtf is monero
If you need bitcoins because your vendor wants bitcoins, then buy bitcoins. Simple.
I know how to set up TOR. lol
You're the one that came here with questions. Do you really find my answers "cryptic"? lol.
Then just go do whatever you're going to do, OP.
There are options. We don't know what level of anonymity you're aiming for at each step vs. how comfortable you are with the technologies/services, and how much effort you're willing to put in.
