When I was first poking around with Tor, I wondered how many of the "Get guns in Europe", "Hard Drugs here", "Credit Card Numbers for sale" and such links were honeypots. Luckily, not being interested in any of those things, I didn't have to find out.

Most of the legit stuff was on telegram, surprisingly or not. I know people who bought uh firearms and more there. Unfortunately, it feels like it disappeared at the same time as the proximity feature

When I was younger I tried to buy a gun on one of those sites for a planned shooting but it just resulted in me losing my money and not any law enforcement action

[throwa356262]

WTF is the "planned shooting" you casually dropped here?

[stavros]

Oh, nothing special, just a run-of-the-mill school shooting he wanted to do at some point.

[globalnode]

i was beginning to wonder if this is the new world we're living in now where such things are casually discussed

[21asdffdsa12]

I assume its a misstranslation, basically somebody trying to go to the shooting range with friends?

[aduwah]

I doubt that it is the case. The registration of the gun is a part of the process everywhere afaik.

[kstrauser]

You, uh, OK now?

If they use surveillance coins like BTC they are 100% a honeypot/scam.

[pixel_popping]

not at all, ton of legit sellers on markets that still use BTC, you don't know what you are talking about or you haven't been a long-term customer.

[akimbostrawman]

I'm sure you know all about those criminals using transparent traceable non fungible coins for crimes, officer.
