Silk Road Forums

This is on the list of features to be implemented although I cannot say for sure if it will be made available following the break. As you are aware, the staff is focusing on security. I will pose the question to Defcon and see if he can provide a list of features to be implemented during this time-frame.

Blimey that's a great quote. I feel compelled to watch V for Vendetta now.

wait...you've never seen it?? Ahhhh!  I'd encourage you to go right now, but lord knows you have so much work to do here

I have seen it on occasion...Maybe 15-20 times.

With the market being closed for business during the holidays, everyone should take some time to read through some of the stickied posts in the Security forum and ensure you are all complying with the highest levels of opsec.

Members such as NightCrawler, Yoda and SS post in there frequently and are excellent resources for all things Security. Make sure you aren't your own worst enemy.

a good choice ..

I see a good team coming together.

And a team who are not already doxxed, which does help .

An excellent point PerfectScans.

No staff member knows my identity.

Promotions abound today! Welcome aboard, mate.

Thank you for the trust, Defcon.

Many of you already know me and my involvement in the community as a whole. At this point, I have some very large shoes to fill and strive to live up to the task.

This action helps show that the Silk Road is not abandoned. We are still here. Three of our loyal members were arrested, but let their sacrifice not be vein. Stand stronger than ever. Show those that oppose this idea that we will not be scared into silence and inactivity.

Cheers

DoctorClu

The main argument here is that "Synergy" was not mentioned in the aliases on the indictment against him. Via PM, Raoul told me the following:

"Synergy sent me a PM to my alternate ID about 12 days ago. He said basically, "LE action imminent, if you have anything to hide get your house in order"

He may have had all the time he needed to scrub his identity as Synergy. Ross did not know about Synergy so whatever information that led to his arrest was because he was previously SSBD. Our thinking was that speculation regarding the SSBD/Synergy connection did not harm anyone. But in the small possibility that LE was unaware (Per the indictment), there was good reason to hide this information. It simply made you all angry that you were not being told something.

As I stated before to you all, secrets protect us. There is plenty of information unknown to the masses and all of you must accept that. This is no game. People are going to jail. My friend may now have another alias on his indictment which can only make matters worse for him. DPR made the post originally but was limited to the press forum. Journalists are to protect their sources which Raoul failed to do in this case.

I highly doubt he cares in the slightest about Tor Market at the moment. Although he did tell me the following a week or so ago:

"If they still haven't bucked it up, I'll remove all the bitcoins from the site and setup an SR link where users can recover them"

Just perhaps a glimmer of hope for you all despite our repeated warnings but I would take it with a grain of salt.
