thank you, good post brother.. yes I'll add to that..

1. if you have the means use different addresses, use your imagination on this one use an alias address (such as a house no one lives at). avoid ever using your real address imo.
2. use an alias and get a fake ID - if you don't do this then you need to be willing to lose that money if something ever happens to where you need to change the info. I actually had this happen one time - had to change the name because the source didn't give me the correct name the first time - good thing I had the fake ID the clerk could care less, she is simply taking a quick glance at the name to make sure it's you.
3. get a burner phone (boost mobile, etc) call in and set up your account using alias info.. most places when you go to donate ask for a phone number use a burner phone (set up your VM and leave your message stating your alias name and that it's important to leave a voicemail), keep that phone powered down and OFF, in fact never use it if you can help it. - in the rare instance a SRC or Rep would need to contact me that can be coordinated and a time can be set for a call (limit your call time and use a public location that would make it hard for anyone looking for you to find you) - a restaurant bathroom that has a window, bathroom of a school, use your imagination. Afterwards, break the sim chip and flush it down the toilet, break the phone in two or three pieces or remove the battery and smash the phone, then discard, ideally in 2 different places.
4. use a proxy to connect to this site and any other site.
5. use an encrypted email like safemail, tor, or any number of other's.
6. when you make a donation you are doing exactly that, you are donating "for a good cause" , missionary, school, etc. - in a sense you can justify that truthfully in your head as you are learning, you are on a mission, and it's for a good cause.

I Posted In The IDEAS FOR NEW THREADS SECTION addressing These Issues. I DOnt Use Alias But I Do Use PGP Encryption With My Email And Back Up To An External DrivE. I Am Very Skilled In This Area If Assistance Is Needed. Cant Be To safe

Ya bro... ALWAYS use your real name when sending donation. First of all, one provider REQUIRES a valid ID and I tried using fake name once and the clerk got pissed and suspicious said why u using another name? I just left and went somewhere else. Plus if anything happens u need valid ID to pick your money back up.

Also- unless your a source, whichever email provider u use doesn't really matter. It costs A LOT of money for LE to get into your email, cell phones, etc. I know this for a fact. I use gmail, safe-mail, whatever is most convenient for me at the time and I've never had a problem. The safest one u can use is tormail btw.

Good post, but I disagree with using an alias. There is nothing illegal about making a donation. What if something happens and you need to go pick up your marbles? They'll want to see your I.D. I also use my real name for postage so the package doesn't look suspicious to the mail carrier. Trust me, your mailman knows who lives at your address. Just my two cents.
