Silk Road forums

Personally, I don't really worry about SR getting busted.  I live in the United States, and I don't believe that our government, or any government sees shutting down SR as a wise use of resources.  I believe this for the simple reason that shutting down SR won't stop vendors from selling.  Even if SR were to be shut down, you could still place orders with vendors through Tormail, BMR, or any other website that would pop up in an attempt to mimic the success of SR.

Agreed. Technology has matured beyond the capabilities of law enforcement. This is the essence of crypto-anarchy: no amount of guns in the world can solve a math problem. They have all the guns, but smart people create encryption and routing protocols that provide (practically) unbreakable privacy and anonymity. SR is just the beginning. Wait until something like BitWasp or its successor takes off, when anyone can download a zero-install software package similar to the Tor Browser Bundle, but it's an anonymous market platform that can run as a hidden service off their own computer. No programming or internet hosting knowledge required. Just extract and start accepting orders, safely, securely, anonymously.

Despite increased law enforcement and penalties, more people can get a wider variety of purer drugs than ever. I think we're winning.

Of course. They convert USD to BTC. That's their service. What else would they send to a bitcoin address?

Just don't take MDMA more often than once a month, it could make your anxiety worse.

I honestly don't know why they are pushing the anti-meth ads so hard, I mean I kind of get it:  yes it can get out of control in the hands of irresponsible (hell, even responsible) users, and its more or less to keep people afraid of trying it "even once"...but all in all it seems more economical to me than coke.

I don't get why meth is considered so much worse than coke considering, like I said, their subjective hedonic effects are so similar to me. Maybe it is the economics of it (people can afford to get more fucked up on meth) and the less control you have over the meth high, because it is longer lasting.

lol, nice try guys but read a little...

coming to airport near you 2013

from there who knows

Yes, from a web site called PR Web, which is not a news site but a publishing platform for corporate press releases, which is what that is. See what I wrote earlier about corporate marketing hype.

So just a follow up. I went ahead and tried meth. I did get blurry / double vision, so it's interesting that you mention that. It felt a lot like coke, which shouldn't be a surprise since they both increase dopamine. I would describe it as super-coke. You do a line smaller than a coke line and stay high for hours. At the same time, it didn't last 12 hours or any of these ridiculous time frames that I often hear. I re-dosed every 4-6 hours.

The worst part for me was teeth grinding. That lasted a whole day after I quit using it. My jaw muscles were so sore and swollen, one side popped when I chewed. I don't think I'll do it again, but at least I can scratch it off my bucket list.

Just do what you guys have to do with all that coin fee that vendors have been pouring in to sr pocket.

Everybody keeps acting like this a problem you can solve by throwing more money at it. As if DPR can post public job listings for programmers and whip out his credit card for purchase new servers. Security is already hard, but it's a lot harder when trying to stay anonymous. You can't buy trust. You can't scale to fill a data center and stay anonymous.

If these problems could be fixed with bitcoins alone, they would already be fixed.

Ain't that a bitch.
