Security / Re: pgp encryption
« on: December 19, 2012, 03:16 am »
If you want to practice, you can import my PGP key (link in my signature) and encrypt a message to me.

I'll let you know if it worked. Like I said, for the purposes of sending your address to a vendor, that's all you need to know how to do. You don't have to create your own key.

our country is fucked up because of  uneducated stupid thinking like this yet it's all fine and dandy to get a good deal but you ever hear the saying that seems too good to be true it usually is that  is the case with this stupid uneducated free-market idea of y'all's what happens to Mr. $200 an ounce decides he's made enough money and quits. Now of course this is after he is done bankrupt all the other hard-working vendors who gave you their time and their hard work to supply you with the best product that they can supply you with if they could get better product do you not think that they would this whole idea of taking the lowest bidder is what is killing America today.

You act like people who provide inferior services (lower or equal quality product at a higher price) deserve to get paid. The market creates efficiency.  People who provide shitty services SHOULD go out of business and find something else that they are good at.

CalifornicationBuds said s/he put up a new listing and it was changed within 3 minutes.

Thanks, please update in this thread if you end up doing that.

CalifornicationBuds, what if you post a listing with no image? Will the shipping options get changed?

Also, despite your unwavering faith in DPR's ability to fix this, I find it mildly disturbing that they've known about it apparently for at least 12 hours and haven't been able to remove the malicious code.

Well if you looked at the technology I was talking about, please explain to me how your gonna cover up mere molecules of a substance and hide them from something that is capable of scanning them?

The assumption you're making about this still nonexistent and unproven technology is that it will fulfill its claims with an accuracy that is anywhere close to useful. Because it sounds to me like corporate marketing hype. I'm sure you'd also hear great things about polygraphs from the people who sell them.

Were you able to select a shipping option? Did you notice the bitcoin addresses inserted into images? The site is experiencing some major difficulties right now.

Silk Road discussion / Re: DO NOT SEND COINS TO "SR QUICK BUY" ADDRESS
« on: December 18, 2012, 10:39 pm »
Tor as a software project has been around for 10 years. It's developed in the open and a large hacker and academic research community studies it. There are known potential attacks against Tor, but nothing that has been successful on the deployed network, despite the fact that it's a big target (the biggest anonymous network). As such, Tor seems pretty secure.

We don't know that about SR. It's developed in secret by who knows who. We can't know if it is secure until something like this happens, and then we only know that it is insecure. This is an attack on the application layer, not Tor.

I'm copying as many vendor keys as can in case something happens to the site, they can authenticate themselves in other places. Will dump what I have in a while.

I love everything that DPR has done for the community, but I don't think he will be the man leading this revolution in the long term. We need a distributed market place software, open source and developed publicly (perhaps on Github, or a hidden service git repository), where anyone can review the code. With enough eyes, all security vulnerabilities are shallow, but SR is developed in secret by maybe 3-5 people. There's no way to know for sure that it is secure, until something like this happens, and then you know for sure that it isn't.

I take it there's no evidence yet that they've changed the text of people's profiles? I'd be worried that they start changing vendors' PGP keys.

Also, has anyone found an address that has been sent BTC?

Surely SR should just be put offline, if is possible, if in this state?

Anybody got DPR's pager number? :)

My thoughts exactly, CaptainMal, and reports of this shit were coming up 2 days ago. It's been planned for a while.

Apparently this happened last night too, at about the same time, when the forum and most likely the main site have the fewest users (and no admins around), but last night almost nobody noticed. Maybe it was a quick test run.

I think they are generating the bitcoin addresses on the fly and inserting them into the images so fast that they aren't even announced to the network and searchable on the block chain when you first see the images. Perhaps if we keep checking, more of them will show up. Announcing the addresses isn't critical. As long as you have the private key,  you can claim the coins at a later date. It's just conventional to announce even unused addresses because people want to check and see that an address exists before they send coins to it.
