Your first order, step by step
Everything on the other pages, put in the order you actually do it. Follow it once and nothing surprises you.
Set up and verify
Install Tor Browser, open a verified link, and check the onion on the login screen against your bar. Create an account with a fresh username and a long unique password, and turn on PGP two-factor.
Fund with the right coin
Hold Monero in your own wallet, then deposit what the order needs. Monero keeps the payment private, which is why it is the coin to reach for.
Read the vendor, then order
Check the vendor history before the price. Place the order and let the coin sit in 2 of 3 multisig escrow rather than going straight to the seller.
Confirm only on delivery
When the package arrives and matches, confirm receipt to release escrow. If it never comes or arrives wrong, open a dispute. Never finalize early.
