That's exactly what they want - for you to worry. There's was a desperate and cowardly move that if you think it through has about the same real risk of any terrorist action - near 0.

Substitute bad actors here for terrorists, noobs for "the children" and us as a scared population willing to sacrifice freedom and openness for safety. I respect your concerns but I do know what doesn't work: the tactics of a world I try to shrug off every time I login here.

As for me I'd rather bear the risk myself, I can always use a drop to protect my address if I chose to, that's the only no-trust solution anyway.

Fair enough.

Fair point!

even assuming the users ip is static (which it’s probably not) ip blacklist won’t be effective as most here will be using vpn anyway.

Yeah, it’s true. I’m starting to think LB might need a referral program.

yes I think that may be the way to go, at least for anyone selling and taking peoples addresses

That makes sense. Happy mid ground to protect new buyers

Diceman your picture is epic lol i have not smoked a bread bag in years thats what we called them they get you wrote of

lol, these were staple back in the day. use kitkat foil for the full ghetto experience! we called them ‘bottle bags’ or a ‘lung’ round our way. not seen one in the wild for years.

PMSL. Ye i used to hit bottle bags a fair bit in my youth, and buckets lol = BOOM!
BH

More like you end up with one lung smoking these we use to use a socket as a chillum i miss the oldskool pollen through a lung what a high

forgot about that, yeah socket with a bit of tape is pro :)

The situation was crazy especially over 20 dollars sharing peoples information

Complete insanity.

From what people have been saying, IP bans just wont work here. However I do think we could investigate some form of vendor vetting/invitation system.

Only solution to the problem you are describing is for sellers to not have buyers addresses. Crypto drone pick up and delivery?
