Use tor browser

Go to site selling all kinds of cool weed and acid and other drugs

Add to cart

Pay

Bitcoins?

Need to install bitcoin, then go to exchange and exchange cash for bitcoin.

The bitcoin install needs 20 gigs because it works by storing every transaction ever made on every client.

This is a lot of work for my weed I added to my web cart. But I guess it's better than getting killed buying from a dealer in the hood?

Curse you, weed!

You forgot the part where, between buying bitcoin with cash and completing the purchase, the broker is hacked and all of your play money evaporates into nothing.

As far as I know after Silk Road went under one of the other market places became the new number one, and business is pretty much back to normal.

The Silk Road guy is the poster child for bitcoin stupidity. He not only left a trail of breadcrumbs for the police which brought down the drug operation, but he also legitimately thought that he was soliciting murder multiple times from bitcoin assassins. He is never getting out of prison.

I would like to become a Bitcoin assassin.

Seems like an easy gig since you just take people's money and do nothing.

Are there even counties that have a mandated last call of 10PM? I figured most places were at least midnight or just completely dry

There are places where you can't buy beer in bottles or cans after 21:00 so the drunk bums who hang out in front of the store all day asking for beer money go home.

why are there live feeds of that anyway???

People buy IP cameras to keep an eye on kids or elderly relatives and don't bother to secure them because security is hard and makes things inconvenient.

I can understand Joe Schmoe not being able to setup a VPN, but not even setting a basic password on the grandma cam is pretty lazy. Even scarier is when people scan IP addresses and find things like unsecured telnet access to industrial power equipment.

He sounds like a captured spy being forced at gunpoint to read a statement about how humanely he is being treated.

In Canada they're still the norm for rent and many private medical practices (e.g. dentists, therapists).

Probably because, like the US, they are the only non-cash method of transferring money which doesn't incur a fee.
