Contacting customers : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets
Well now that abacus is gone, it was the only market I was a vendor on for about 2 years. I have some of my customers addresses saved from packages a few weeks ago that I hadn't deleted yet. A few of them are regulars who ordered big. I am thinking of a safe way to make contact with them. I was thinking maybe sending normal mail with a padded envelope/etc with 1 of the items they normally bought with a message about abacus and a way to contact me incase they are interested in ordering. Is this a bad idea? Beside's using a good email provider for them to contact me, what are some other encrypted ways I can have them contact me which I can have typed on a piece of a paper/printed out an send with the free item(s)? I lost all my clients from abacus, many regulars who did large orders weekly. I never gave them a way to contact me incase market went down.
You are expected to destroy addresses after escrow is finished. Any post from you can be misunderstood and have the opposite effect and create mistrust. So, please follow expected procedures and destroy the addresses.
I assume that your customers are active at Dread, the best you can do is to announce which DNM you are vending from today. Sign the message with your PGP-keys so your customers can verify it's you.
Good luck!
