Hi there, brand new people! I'm kinda new too, so I'm taking a liberty here. I know we're all watching the SSA/SRY go-quiet thing with varying levels of anxiety and uncertainty. Nobody can fix either of those things, but I DO want to give you a couple of things to consider while you're thinking about what you want to do about what you're reading, because I hate to see you get hurt or scammed because you were worried and felt rushed.
The same safety and security guidelines that existed last week did not stop existing just because things are uncertain right now. Not every vendor that someone mentions is "business as usual" will be the right vendor for you. Feeling afraid of missing out is not a good reason to dash for the first vendor you see and give them money. Still take the time to research a vendor, read about their history of fulfilling orders (or not), what group tests and volunteer tests have revealed about their products, and how they addressed it when something went wrong. Just like last week, one person's go-to is another person's never-again.
Scammers ARE going to take advantage of this. Don't trust anyone who reaches out to you until and unless you've verified the info you have. A website is not a verification of being legit. Nor is a profile picture and name that's identical to the vendor. If you're joining discords, the vendors will generally not reach out to you proactively; but scammers pretending to be the vendor WILL. And shills are still everywhere, don't believe every glowing proclamation of a vendor's quality and reliability.
The smaller vendors ARE going to have an influx of spooked buyers ordering all at once. That means they're more likely to make mistakes, both in the communication and in the fulfillment.
Some vendors will price gauge, looking to take advantage of worried people. Take a look at prices from last week if you can find them. Some vendors may try to offload underfilled or poor purity (under 99%), knowing that new people may not have had the time to learn about those things and are in a vulnerable time.
There is a Chinese holiday coming up. I'll let someone more knowledgeable than me speak to whether or not that's likely to have an impact on things.
That's all the considerations I have, though I'm sure others will throw in more. I have no advice for you, nor would I give it if I did; everybody's gotta do their own reading and thinking. But if you're just getting started and looking at this, I'm sorry. I know it's scary. Please don't let it scare you into making decisions that you wouldn't make it you weren't spooked.
