Approximately what fraction of people on these sites communicate their addresses in the clear? I thought such sites provided end-to-end encrypted communication between sellers/buyers, and encouraged users to use it.
- prebrov 9y agoMost likely "one place" is a drop-off location, not customer's address.
- emmab 9y agoHow would you verify a seller's public key if the UI misreports it the first time you visit?
- gwern 9y agoPeople always, always optout, and once they can control the website, they can MITM any auto-PGP encryption. On some DNMs it's possible cleartext is the majority. And even when people are careful to keep their address/order info PGP encrypted, they can give away info in other PMs.
- AlexCoventry 9y agoThat is some powerful wishful thinking/ignorance. Or maybe it's the drugs.
- ryanlol 9y agoMost buyers have nothing to fear from the police.
