How can darknet vendors establish trust and credibility in the community?

—Contributing knowledge, providing helpful information, and actively participating in discussions can help darknet vendors establish trust and a positive reputation.

What countermeasures can darknet vendors take to avoid law enforcement detection?

—Countermeasures include avoiding suspicious package indicators, disposing of 'love letters,' and not answering the door for controlled deliveries. Maintaining anonymity and operational security are key.
