Silk Road Forums

Just wanted to echo the thoughts of AngelEyes.

Vendors take on 95% of the risk both legal and monetary. This business is not as easy as many customers believe, nor as easily profitable as many people think..

The "best vendors" have been through a shitstorm over the past couple months and I'm sure more than a few are considering getting out of the business alltogether.

This isn't Ebay, and you're not buying Pokemon.
Have some respect for the people that put their life and freedom on the line to bring you the products you want.

Its a risk for customers too. Vendors don't have to reveal their address details and customers have to trust vendors to destroy their details.
The best vendors have been trough it all for 2 years and believe me the huge profits made by correcdt business procedures more than make up for it. Vendors are greatly appreciated but if you choose to become a vendor this shit storm is all part of the package so they need to be prepared. Vendors are defiantely greatly appreciated that is for sure

Right now, I like many of you can feel the shock of recent events which are now compounding together. As Sheep has closed and Black Market Reloaded have announced they are also soon to shut down this has put strain on our team unlike anything we've seen before. Tor was not designed to handle services of this size and so this is a network problem, not a Silk Road problem.

We are working on a way around this right now but unfortunately the only way to obtain a realistic impression of how successful our changes will be is to place them into a live testing environment which is something we never usually do, but it is required in these circumstances. Over the next 24 hours there will be a lot of up and down with the market and I can assure you we are working on it so please be patient, these are challenging times for our community and requires us to reach into the unknown of this technology as we scale.

I will make another announcement when we have more news to share.

Thank you for keeping us updated!

Even though I have asked many times before for a thread which truly gives us the actual status of the Silk Road, nothing happened until today. We all are trying to access to our accounts or to the site itself.
From "maintenance" to "server error" - why there is still no traffic light for example which is displayed in the forum and seen to everyone if the site is DOWN (red), IN MAINTENANCE (orange) or ONLINE (green)

What do you think?

Please post your statements here and also the actual status of the road until DPR comes with informations or a traffic light system for all.
By the way: wondering why the community is not being kept informed as everyone wish.

Hopefully this thread will be used high frequented to keep us all informed

Good thread idea i think!

Sellers also have feedback if you look at the bottom of their listings. If you need some XTC pills, I can 100% vouch for the seller Technohippy. Ordered 10 Nintendo allstar pills Thursday morning and received Friday morning, great stealth shipping. I tried them that Friday night and was rolling HARD

I have to admit they do look mega tasty!

Dropped a bit this morning but not to worry still up £200 this week. If and there probably will be a bubble i advise to buy in. It will still go up. Think of it this way - 2 steps forward, one step back

CaptainWhiteBeard

thats not how financial bubbles work though, its more like two steps forward ten steps backwards

I was talking about the bitcoin price in general. Also its hard to predict bitcoin alongside other financial things. As it something totaly different. Its not a currency but its also not a stock. It's a totally new thing
