Silk Road Discussion / Marketplace Opening Time
« on: December 27, 2013, 07:16:29 am »
EDIT: New target time is 23:45:00 but no promises. Security comes first over meeting deadlines.

Given the intensity of recent events, staff has decided that an extra few hours will help ensure a smooth opening.

The marketplace will re-open at 23:00 UTC on the 28th of December, 2013.

Several long-awaited features will be launched. More details will follow.

I trust that you raised a glass for our fallen crew this holiday. They sacrificed their freedom for the world's first truly free online market. Long live Silk Road!

So they never thought and they also planned for it?
You are contridicting yourself

Management planned for many extreme scenarios which we never thought would actually happen.

I am confident that everyone in this thread has good intentions, and only wants to ensure the security and longevity of our movement, but we are very different in our approaches.

If you have information which could lead to someone's arrest - destroy it. If you believe some thread of evidence is buried deep in some archive, let it remain buried.

There is no reason to ever cause another person harm.

Another arrest will never make a community safer, and stirring up drama on Christmas Eve is not acting in our community's best interest.

Take a step back and look around: You're aggressively posting to a darknet forum on Christmas Eve.

Enjoy the holidays, take a break from your computer, and we'll talk after a few days of breathing.

Meow.

Thanks Def...  SO are the reports about DPR true? 

Which reports? Which DPR?

Much appreciated. It's hard to take a break around here! I wish you a very happy holiday as well.

Taking a few hours' break to enjoy the week with family. Will PM you afterwards.

If DPR2 did ask for your personal information, then it must have been before he decided this policy. All I know is that he insisted that it should never be it a requirement, and he never asked for my personal information.

ANYONE who has given their dox to DPR1/ or 2 should be on a plane and the hell out of here by now.

Be assured that nobody gave their doxx to DPR2. He learned lessons from DPR1's foolishness and was adamantly against ever sharing personal details.

As many of you recall, V was instrumental in helping guide the community through the difficult SR1 to SR2 transition.

It's a pleasure to welcome V to our moderator team.

on channel 4 in the uk theres a bouncer documentry with a popular night club called "SilkRoad" they say they have the toughest but fairest bouncers.

I'm tempted to post "SR Face to Face Meetup" with an address just to see how many seconds it takes LE to show up.

probably the drink speaking

115
Can anyone confirm if it was indeed a maintenance downtime or if it was infiltrated by LE

This maintenance has been planned since the first week of December, way before the arrests. Nothing has been infiltrated.

The fact that you're nervous means you should be using encryption more rigorously. Use all marketplaces with the assumption that they are compromised, and you'll be safe no matter what.

Whitebeard - not sure which ship you've sailed but that's a serious rum collection back there. Open up the bar, all drinks on me for the next hour and they better be from that top shelf. The crew's had a hell of a week.

We lost a large percentage of our staff last week. It's a testing time for the community.

Those of us who remain are working to nominate respected community members for promotion.

No SR2 staff member has ever been arrested because of their involvement in SR2. Let's keep it that way.

I'll try to swing by the Camel - thank you for the invite. Do I get a VIP wristband?

Why not wipe all the messages? Everyone can save what they want and then wipe the slate clean.

No private messages have been compromised, and the servers are very secure. If there were any evidence otherwise, I would most certainly wipe way more than just private messages.

I am considering ways of expiring unencrypted messages quicker than encrypted messages, but don't want to commit to that just yet.

Silk Road Discussion / Security Precautions
« on: December 23, 2013, 07:57:15 pm »
I am very confident that no security breach has occurred on the marketplace, but I am taking measures to ensure everyone's safety regardless.

Private messages on the forum older than seven days will be deleted within the next 12hrs. If you need to save a message, do NOT save it in plaintext. Encrypt everything always.

Private messages, withdraw histories, and finalized/cancelled orders on the marketplace older than 21 days will be deleted within the next 12hrs as well.

As your interim leader, expect many more announcements during the break as I continue to get up to speed on where DPR left off.

Be safe, encrypt everything always, never send anyone your true personal details. Let's try to have a happy holiday.

When SR ddos tm,  they were probing for exploits.....and found it, and planted the bomb.

Staff absolutely did not DDoS TM. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Defending against our own inbound DDoS attack was complete hell.
