It's pretty safe for the buyer when they mined their own coins, or bought them from a friend who did, using cash irl.
The real concern IMHO is the seller's opsec. When you're sending them pgp-encrypted orders containing your shipping address for receiving contraband. Are they sticking your address in an addressbook? Keeping the messages around long-term? If they get busted, will law enforcement be able to access all their encrypted messages?
If the communications aren't immediately destroyed, it's very likely a busted dealer will cooperate with law enforcement for a reduced sentence, which will almost certainly include granting access to all their encrypted communications.

- newnewpdro 7y agoThat shouldn't be the only concern. I suspect nobody wants their name and address added to any of the relevant lists law enforcement could trivially maintain at little cost. Also, laws change.
- htfu 7y ago> cooperate with law enforcement for a reduced sentence This isn't actually a feature of most legal systems, so depends where they're located.
