Hello Silk Road Admins and Welcome Back!
I do have a small question, however. What prevents a scammer/LE to just make a new user with some already-established SR name over here and start posting. I think there should be some form of verification that account X on silk road is the same person as account X on SR Forums.
Just my two cents.
-
totally agreed!
I'd think of a quick solution like:
make this board invite only. generate invitation codes with the SR userbase and send messages on the site with the invitation codes. otherwise it's going to be a chaos soon ...
your work and engagement is greatly appreciated guys!
-
100% agree.. i love you guys for what your doing and would just be another way of grinding out the scammers. when silk road was down black market was loaded with scams using SR user names. would hate for the same thing to happen here. you guys are the original and the best
Best Regards and thanks for everything you do :)
-
Yeah I know what you guys mean, when I found out it was separate I booked on over to register my name not that it matters much since I don't sell....but still. NO ONE ELSE IS ME DAMMIT. :P

Or they could use their PGP signatures they used on the main site.
-
If you're not sure of the identity of someone here, you can always PM them on the main site to double check.
-
Yea your right.. not everyone uses PGP but i guess the main vendors that you'd want to verify all use PGP :)
-
I believe that is the point of PGP keys =) There is really no reason why people should not use them, every bit of security helps.
Some sort of code generated from SR to verify a forum account sounds like a good Idea though.
-
Someone stole my name on BlackMarket to scam people.
So while SR is down I had my account on OVDB i was trying to sell on.
Well, People started saying that maybe i wasnt the real "listentothemusic" on OVDB,
and that maybe i got upset about my name getting stolen and made a big deal so i could scam a few more people on OVDB....
Needless to say, verifying owners accounts is hard. Unless you go through a screening process like on OVDB. I just put in my SR profile which is where I have my feedback a list of all my current legitimate accounts. It also helps my buyers be in contact if SR is down.

You so cute Botulism! :P
See now Botulism knows it's the real me. :D
-
Well, I think this thread could solve this problem since the goals of PGP are confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and authenticity. If any one seems sketchy on here and out of character we can write it here and have another known legit vendor can verify them via encrypted msg over the PM, then post results here. May be slightly tedious but it will help ::)

Yep, I was over at BM, and actually tried a couple of buys, and got burnt...made me really appreciate SR, and also, have a bit of sympathy for the owner of BM, since he's realizing just how hard it is to get this kind of site to the point where there is some trust established.
This place went down right when I was uploading around 20 btc to the escrow account, and while it was uploading, all went quiet for a couple days, and I figured for sure my btc had disappeared, so it was quite a happy nite to see that not only had SR come back, but my money was sitting there nicely.
I think we need to give a little slack to the alternative sites, as they might take some of the lite off of here, but also, total gratitude to SR, as now I see how grim the alternatives sites are, where they are more ripoff artists and desperate buyers than there are trustworthy sellers...by a long shot...

A suggestion would be to non-selling members to enable selling on their SR profile so they can have a description area on their profile where they upload their PGP key.
-
so Listentothemusic is your real Torpm? And that is you on OVDB?
I almost ordered from BM when I saw you there, good thing I held off...
I'm the magnets guy if that means anything to you :P
-
if someone is impersonating you on the forums, just let us know on the main site and we'll do a password reset over here.
-
Beat me to it. I was gonna reiterate, just ask the member on the other site if they're the same on the forums. PGP isn't necessary per say. (Nobody really signs keys these days it seems)
-
Yes its me, and that offer still stands ;D
Im sure you will be super happy with your order.
Im on OVDB, SR, this forum, and Farmers Market.
People have offered to invite me to other forums, but not yet.
Maybe sooooon.

Everyone, be careful with what you sign. Some could just copy and paste your signed statements to another forum, and they would look legit. PGP signatures include a timestamp, but sometimes people don't check it, so in a case like this it's better to leave a plain-text timestamp in the message, and _always_ some context. For example:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The account with username "paine" at the Silk Road forums (profile: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?action=profile;u=275 ) is controlled by the person who controls the account with username "paine" at the Silk Road market (profile and public key: http://ianxz6zefk72ulzz.onion/index.php/silkroad/user/8514 ).

It's more work, but it helps protect your reputation.
(or maybe I'm just paranoid ::))

Can't leave feedback on SR since the transaction didn't go through there, but thought I'd say something here. Package arrived from listentothemusic this morning, superrr quick. I wish I had a camera that would do it justice, because it really is beautiful :P The cbd test readout makes it look real professional too lol. So you will definitely be hearing from me again
