the channel with no general advice in it
The mistakes channel
Every post here is one concrete thing people do, not a principle. Principles are easy to agree with and hard to act on.
the three wethenorth market addresses
hn2paw7zfvndw3dovycegeqmvvnf4pl67b3g2p7pohjlzavloosh73id.onionhn2paw7zrgujyhnt6mgxlt2q6uhgbke4itpqitxhyfbumq3wtnckbuyd.onionhn2paw7zadwkcra3qzv5e4q547i7e5lvxm62cfxqftuqdu7moiu2ceyd.onionprinted the way they were handed over. no labels, no numbering, nothing here says which one to try first. this feed never opens them, so it has no status light, no percentage and no date of checking to give you.
why concrete
Be careful is advice nobody has ever acted on. Do not retype the address is something you can either do or not do, and you will know which.
So each post here names a single action, says what it costs, and gives the alternative. Nothing here is a lecture about attitude.
what is in here
Typing an address instead of copying it. Taking a screenshot. Reusing a password. Finalising early. Keeping one wtn market url forever. Writing three paragraphs where one line would do. And asking a search engine for a wethenorth link.
none of these are stupid
Every one of them is a sensible habit somewhere else. That is exactly why they show up here, and why knowing better does not stop them happening.
The posts are written on that assumption. There is no scolding in this channel.
replies
a reader askedI have already done several of these. Is that bad?
the answerIt is normal. Every one of them is a default behaviour on the ordinary web, which is where all of us learned to use a computer.
a reader askedWhich one costs the most?
the answerFinalising early costs money directly. Reusing a password costs the account. Which is worse depends entirely on what is in the account.
what this post is not This channel is not a list of everything that can go wrong. It is seven things that go wrong often, which is a shorter and more useful list.
