OP was trolling that subreddit before. Looks like the people calling him out for it were right. http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1b416m/update_on_the_public_ip_leak_an_object_lesson/ Congratulations for being gullible. My post managed to stay at the top of this subreddit for 24 hours, and it was complete horseshit. I hope you've learned your lesson to not believe everything you read on the Internet. I nearly didn't come back to post this, but I actually like the Bitcoin / Silk Road community and don't want to create any significant lack of trust where it's not warranted. Flame away, I'll never use this account again. =========== Keep in mind folks, that you should evacuate a building for every bomb threat, even though 90% of them are fake. You can afford to waste time worrying about many false positives, but in this game (hidden services, network security, illegal shit), you can't afford one false negative.
