-

I read Wired..

the shitsausages at Gawker blew it open for me

-
I made a thread on www.hackforums.net, asking for how to buy weed online. Like 4 people recommended this website =)
-
No asking a question ;) Hey veltins, i'm on hackforums too !
-
Gawker article. It must be fate because I don't even read Gawker, but I just happened to look at it on the right day.
-
A friend of the same political inclination as me told me about the site. I told him it was cool but I don't do drugs so I had no need for it.... but I thought it was an awesome concept, and that if I happened to sell arbitrarily-prohibited substances, it would be a neat venue.
That was the last time we discussed it.....
-
I got lucky and discovered TOR/Onion Routing right before SR and OVDB started getting real world attention,
some guys wiki or directory had SR listed, and my life was changed.
-
I offer a tip of my cap to the fine Senator from New York for bringing Silk Road to my attention.

I read Wired..
This is where I found the info too, but I don't read wired. I was just searching to buy drugs on the net and that eventually got me there.
-
Really i wasn't looking to buy drugs at the time, just surfing and came across it :P
-
Yesterday there was a tevelision show about drug etcetera. And there they tried to buy some stuff on this site, and it arrived like 5 days later, so I was like 'lol thats cool' and went downloading Tor / going on this site immediatly :D
-
A friend of mine told me about this website when i was on acid last month ...BrainParty.Viva SR !
-
I got lucky and downloaded TOR right about when SR was created, I was at the HW one day and that changed everything. I've been a member of the market for a while now, user number 835. It's been awesome to watch SR change and grow :)
-
I heard from a friend.
-
GOOGLE! lol i was searching for like 20 minutes stoned as well and found it
if its this easy to find it by next year the site will be gone or there will be like millions of members
-
Don't tell how you got here. JUST BE THANKFUL you are. Keep it on the Down Low as the kiddies say. 8) OR we could go and post URL's all around town in our SR Tshirts. Geez. Imagine the A-holes getting in then!! Tell only trusted like minded individuals. THAT means you prolly won't be telling someone everyday. And that's a good thing. Place your enthusiasm for the site in another direction. SAY... Live a safer life so you can continue using SR. Wear your seatbelt, everytime. Drive the speed limit and cautiously. Mix up your schedule a little. Involve yourself w/shadeball folks less. When you do be safer about it. Stuff like that. SURE. It's not as glamorous as a tshirt. Or cool as contraband in the mail, but the air is fresher and there is nothing like natural light. STAY OUT OF LE's GRASP. THINK incognito
-
I was looking at porn and stumbled in. Oh wait, I'm always looking at porn ;D

That`s cool???
I don`t think its funny, television shows that talks about SR.
The asshole from the tv show.
-
found it on the bitcoin forum when researching how to make money off BTC... two days later gawker did the article.. luckily i was in just before the gawkerboom
-
Unfortunately from the Wired article too - I wish I'd been here earlier... luckily I had experience with TOR from my early bittorrent days
I'm glad to be here and will never tell another living soul about SR... I hope it doesn't too big.
-
How can find out what number we are? :)
-
I've been lurking on SR for many months. Someone on druggit mentioned a place called "SR", but wouldn't expand on the subject. I then spent the afternoon searching around and discovered TOR, SR, and some others.
When I saw the Gawker article, I cringed and didn't touch SR for quite a while.
-
Gawker here as well while surfing around for news one night. I actually found the links for Tor and SR on the Wikipedia page. Not sure I like the idea of there being a page for SR on Wikipedia however....
-
gawker. i was in the same day. took a long while to use it safely and get coins. but all worth it. be safe people. and thank you community for your knowledge.
-
my BFF and partner in crime from work mentioned it after our local supplier decided he found Jesus :)
-
How can find out what number we are? :)
if you look at your own profile page on SR, the end of the URL will show your user number.
-
I heard about it on the bitcoin forums as well.
-
IRC chat from a well known drug info site.. and a little digging around. Unfortunately its after all the publicity. But experienced with tor and 'shopping' via irc & usenet.
-
that infamous gawker article, lol. I don't even know what possessed me to read it. I did and I'm soooo glad :D
-
german blog featuring the wired article.
it's a blog i only read once a month mb, so i was fucking lucky :D
-
Silk thread was like this
Max Kaiser show>Bitcoin>small google research>gawker article>SR
I feel more like SR found me not vice versa :)
-
I stumbled upon it quite awhile ago on the hidden wiki. That was before things like feedback were implemented, so I wasn't comfortable making an order. A couple months ago I hit a dry spell and decided to check up on progress. To my great delight I was met with several high ranked vendors offering a plethora of herbal delights. I then spent a week enraged at how ridiculously long it took to buy bitcoins.
-
Found it via some old time forum mates. Private forum for 12 years and someone posted a thread about the underground, and bam,,,here I am. I don't click on the sick shit. lol, I was warned it was a grotty place in some areas.
-
Someone posted the onion address in the newb subforum of bitcoin forums a few months ago. Up until now I was uncertain if I wanted to do any business here, as the prices are/were much more than street. I probably shouldn't even try being a seller, but I might try selling some legal stuff as the hedging system is important for selling anything at all in an exchange based currency. I figure there are much less crooks here than on bitcointalk.
-
I'm a writer looking into underground markets who's already set up interviews with escorts in my area, and my investigations and curiosity have led me here.
Incidentally I'm dirt poor and seriously considering becoming a vendor to supplement my income. Write what you know and all that... not that I'd write anything incriminating.
-
hi guys,
i've known about SR for some time, having been using torfor a few years now but have always been worried about the draconian laws in AUS to really order anything.
now that i've did a bit of browsing and have seen there are a few aussies who frequent, i figured i would also take the opportunity to give it a try.
so technically i fell into SR from THW :p
-
I got lucky and downloaded TOR right about when SR was created, I was at the HW one day and that changed everything. I've been a member of the market for a while now, user number 835. It's been awesome to watch SR change and grow :)
The HW? I'm sorry to have to tell you this but you've been using a phishing site this entire time!
Some senators were on the news talking about this terrible site called silk road where you can order illegal drugs and they just come to your door! Well, it needed checking out, for science.
-
some hippie dude was handing out Silk Road fliers ...thats how i found it....haha...nah google brought me here...as usual...google takes me everywhere...google is god
-
I found out from a tech site. I think it was Tom's Hardware. They had a story about the Gawker article a few weeks after it was released. I had to figure out Tor and GPG before I started.
-
the local sheriff passed out flyers saying dont buy drugs from this site because in some cases they are very potent and life threatening
-
I read an article in Maxim about college drug dens, and wished I was back at school.
Then I reread the article, thinking these guys have to get their stuff somewhere...
One guy mentioned he regularly ordered peyote powder online to extract the mesc. At that point I began scouring the net and found the gawker article.
...and here I am!
-
Coder forum, private sub-forum. Someone mentioned getting weed from GreenCo - so I began searching, and talking to other members. Eventually was given the link OVDB and from their found here. Been a member here for a long time (keeping in mind the sites age).
Peace,

I've been a Tor user for a while now, though I never spent much time in hidden services (just wanted an anonymity layer for certain applications/websites).
Saw a list of hidden services somewhere out on the clearnet and SR was one of them (thankfully it was the real link). From there I came to these forums about a month ago. I figured this would be a great place to figure out some more enhanced security measures.
-
I saw a post on a forum about the "darknet," and one poster mentioned he used it for SR. After a little googling I found Tor and the hidden wiki. Took me a while, but I eventually found SR, and actually saw the gawker article after that. I'm new to this, but have been browsing the forums for about a week. Got PGP set up and (mostly) figured out, and taking the BTC plunge (hopefully) tomorrow.
Been dreaming of a place like this for years, so glad I found you.
Also, if anyone wants to help me test my PGP, pm me please. I've got it all working, but have yet to actually use it with anyone, other than encrypting messages to myself. (or if there is a thread for this, let me know.)
-
My dealer told me about this place which I thought was odd as I thought he'd be concerned with losing business. After that, google was my enabler.
It's not just SR I love tho, it's the anonymity provided by Tor. My searches have led me to read about some interesting stuff about all sorts from government corruption to detailed drug information and I've met so many likely minded people with who I've had some great discussions with. I probably would've pussied out of reading and posting a lot of the material in trying to keep my real IP as law abiding as possible.
Clearnet/Darknet to me is an incredible (if sometimes fucked up) place and I know I've only skimmed the surface.
-
My brother had been using TOR for a while, but never knew of the hidden wiki or SR or anything. Than we read an article about SR. So I got on TOR, found the hidden wiki, found SR forums and then found the link for SR on the forum. Never trusted the link on the hidden wiki, seemed too 'open' if you could describe it like that...
-
On a forum related to illegal steroids, oddly enough I had alot of experience shipping steroids so someone suggested I go here. Never got into selling on here, but that is what brought me here.
-
I also heard about it on a dutch tv show.

-
Someone told me to Google "You can buy anything on the internet", which I promptly did and one week later I figured out how to use TOR through You Tube and another website had the SR address on it. 8) Yes, I am cool ;D

if memory serves, i came here directly from bitcointalk.org....i think SR had a post there (now deleted) to advertise the site at its creation.

What time does the narwhal bacon?

Saw the wired article on 420chan a while back
blew me away because I always thought something like this existed, i just couldn't imagine how I would find it without getting to know some dirty peeps in the internet drug world
thank god for the retards at 420chan (and wired LAWL)
-
Reading about Steve Jobs legacy I found he said: LSD Was One of The Best Things I've Done in My Life. So I went to research LSD and I became fascinated with the things I read. I googled something to the effect of where can I find lsd and stumbled upon an article about Silk Road. And now here I am ;D (I am still waiting on 2 orders from 2 seperate vendors for lsd btw)
-
reddit/r/trees
Fellow Ent!
I love running into ents outside of reddit! ;D
-
For me, it was a mixture between 4chan and gawker. 4chan taught me about deepweb and gawker taught me about buying droogs online. Been happy and consistently high on good stuff ever since.
I love you SR <3
-
I found it from the gawker article. How I got to the article I have no clue since I don't read gawker. That was a few months ago, never looked back!
-
Google! Have never loved this engine till now..... Just placed my first order and scared, exited, can't fucking wait!
And hello to you all....
-
I offer a tip of my cap to the fine Senator from New York for bringing Silk Road to my attention.

LOL Me too! We should all get together and send an anonymous group thank you!
-
I was buying weed from a medical delivery service and I caught the radio saying something about buying drugs from the amazon of drugs so I googled the fuck out it and here I am.
-
I was in the BTN chat room when someone posted a link to an article about SR. I did the rest of it by searching and reading.
-
I stumbled upon SR when I was googling for ways to browse the web anonymously and found out about Tor. Then, I found out about the deep web and websites that used .onion urls which lead me to hidden wiki. I actually found the SR forums before the actual site an I'm glad I did, or I may have been an easy phishing victim not really paying attention to the correct SR url on HW. I've been checking out both sites everyday and it's been a good experience thus far.
-
Gawker article. I read it when it came out, but by the time I had found the page SR was 'temporarily not accepting new members.' I couldn't stop thinking about it and used the time to read-read-read. I still find this site and SR as exciting as the first day I viewed them. This is the best thing since sliced MDMA
-
I was sitting on a park bench downtolwn in an area known fer drug dealing. It was a scortching hot day and none of the dealers were out. I thought to myself that there must be a better way. I pulled out my phone and started googling. One of the very first results that came up was regarding SR. Within a few hours I was a member. End of story...or begining...
