Silk Road Forums

Syn- I think Loki will turn out to simply be yet another Coachella shill. I wouldn't let him get to you. You guys are doing an excellent job. There will always be trolls out there looking to get a rise out of you.

Welcome, mate. As someone new to online vending, you will find this is a great place to ask the right questions to make you be successful at it while maintaining protection for yourself and your customers.

On a side note, these type of posts generally go to the "Rumor Mill" forum where vendor reviews and the like take place. The mods will probably move your thread on over there.

Pluto Pete only sole legal items, he also has clear net sites for his business, the raid on him was probably motivated by rying to get his client list of possible vendors he was selling his feat seal foil used to prevent canine detects of what was inside.

oh right i didn't realize that. just assumed he sold something of the other. see what happens when you read fucking media sites.

Not only that, he used Western Union!! WTF was this guy thinking?!!!

I'm guessing the feds were buying from him constantly since April... probably built a rapport with him, finally talked him into using WU.

But more importantly why keep this guy's vendor name secret when asked?  I'm guessing the Feds took over the vendors account.

This would be the main reason not to release the information. I'm glad the SR doesn't deal with guns. That's just allowing for the ATF to have jurisdiction. We don't need yet another three letter agency on our asses.

It would take a pretty clever primary school kid to navigate the Tor network, purchase BTC, understand the escrow process, and finalizing an order.

At some point, you would have to blame the parents.

And I suppose the little punks won't use PGP either.  I see a great South Park episode where Cartman and the boys do just that.

I would totally watch a South Park SR episode. That sounds brilliant.

I have secured my name on the market but will probably register a fresh name to buy.

I created a separate one after my initial registration on the unveiling on the 5th. It is also important that people use different PGP key pairs for each account. There is no point to having separate accounts if they share the same public key.

The market will not be decentralized as the method and technology to do so has not yet been developed to my knowledge to the standard required to be safely utilized. We will however be using the proceeds of Silk Road to pursue such developments and fund other projects in the interests of freedom and liberty, some of those will be made public.

Some? You will not tell us what we are funding, even after the last DPR tried to kill off two people with profits from our purchases? I ask this with all due respect--it is just something I think should be addressed.

I'm sure there are some organizations especially charities that would not want it known that they received funding from an underground black market. It is to protect them. Not just to hide information from the userbase.

Complicated is good if you know what you are doing. Sounds like they have a pretty firm grasp on it.
