Silk Road forums

If you put your SR address in the withdraw field, then the coins should be sent to your SR account. If you left it blank, I can't imagine they would withdraw your coins (to where?). You should get an error.

So what address did you put in the withdraw field? I can't tell from how you wrote that.

And it just happened 12 minutes ago. We hit block 210,000. BTC trading at $12.30.

Don't use clearnet keyservers unless it's over Tor! LE could subpoena the operators to look at the IP addresses that are downloading certain keys. I'm surprised that DPR's key is on there and hope he wasn't the one who posted it.


(BTW, kudos to the mods for adding captchas. I have no problem filling them out if it slows down the spam.)

The temporary solution is to avoid the forum from around 300 to 1000 UTC. That's when the least people are around and the spammer goes wild.

GreenGiant, even if they could, someone with the power to do it has to be online. Right now there are 3 admins, 2 mods and 2 spam busters, and hours can go by before one of them logs on. In the mean time, the forums are rendered almost unusable from the pages of spam. If they don't want to delegate spam busting authority to more people, they should work on an automated solution.

I simply transfer money from my bank to a firm, and they exhange it for Bitcoins which I can then send to the address here on Silk Road?

Pretty much, although you'll want to either buy the bitcoins anonymously (with fake info) or send them through a mixing-anonymising service.

How to buy them depends on where you live. Bitinstant is one of the more popular methods. You can do a cash deposit at 700K locations around the world and have Bitinstant exchange it for coins which it sends to an address of your choosing.

A lot of people create Instawallet addresses by simply visiting instawallet.org. SAVE the link because it is the only way to access your wallet. Copy down the bitcoin address it gives you, and tell Bitinstant to send the coins to that address. From there you can send the coins to your SR address, or for added security, send them through a mixer like Bitcoin Fog first and then to your SR address.

The best place to go for reviews of bitcoin service providers is bitcointalk.org. Just Googling "torwallet" you'll find a bunch of threads from bitcointalk.org where people were saying they couldn't withdraw their coins from Torwallet.

Sorry, Torwallet was revealed as a scam months ago.
