Your thread title caught my attention because I and my staff answer almost ALL incoming messages with very few exceptions.  I don't read every word on the forum, so crying out for my attention here is not the best way to get it, even though it worked in this case.  Since you have it, I would be happy to spell out our current data retention policy.

addresses are kept on record until your vendor has marked your item as shipped.  I encourage everyone to encrypt their address to their vendor's public key just in case.

messages are kept for two months.  again, sensitive data transmitted through our messaging system should be encrypted.

transaction records, including feedback are kept for 4 months.  I said 3 in another thread, but upon double checking, it is 4.  We do this because the data contained in the transaction record, including the buyer, is used to weight the feedback for that transaction.  After 4 months, the age weight has pretty much reduced the weight to zero anyway, so we no longer need the data.  If you want further explanation about this, check out the wiki page and forum thread about the feedback weighting system.

the accounting log is kept for 3 months.  Only 2 weeks are displayed so an adversary who gains access to your account won't be able to see all of that history.

withdrawal addresses are not kept, but everyone should realize that the time and amount of the withdrawal could narrow down which transaction it was in the blockchain quite a bit, especially if it was an uncommon amount.

deleted items are kept for 4 months.  this is to preserve the integrity of the link to the transactions associated with the item.

user accounts with a zero balance and no activity for 5 months are deleted.

If you experienced something contradictory to this, please pm support on the main site and we will be happy to investigate the situation with you and root out any possible bugs.

These time parameters were arrived at through trial and error.  They are as tight as we can make them without sacrificing the integrity of the market.  Could they be a little tighter?  Maybe by a week or two, but please think through the implications of policy changes before you call for them.

I can only access the first page of my listings :(
When i click page 2 it just takes me back to my account page, the listings are up, but i can't edit or delete them etc.

this should be fixed, working on the access/speed issues

While things are being fixed.. Why don't you guys turn error reporting off, with errors being logged to a private file that gets inspected by staff to see what hackers are attempting to do would be incredible! There are multiple reasons this is a very good idea.

Some random pages discussing securing PHP applications.

https://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/744/secure-php-with-configuration-settings/

error reporting to the browser should be turned off.  Please pm me with where/when you saw an error.

from another thread, it looks like installing the 64-bit version of the tor brower bundle on osx fixes the problem

until we figure out the problem some osx users are having, try installing windows in a virtual machine on your osx host.  You can get VirtualBox for osx here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-OSX.dmg

here are instructions:
http://damien.co/resources/how-to-install-virtualbox-mac-osx-host-winxp-guest-using-tinyxp-rev-09-132

When you have windows xp running, download the tor browser bundle for windows, install, and visit silk road.  This is untested, so if anyone does this, let us know if it works.

New site looks great, don't know if it's been mentioned but you can't click on all transactions you wish to confirm as sent and confirm them all together. OIt just confirms one. :)

Good job though guys.  8)

BTG

This should be fixed now.  Can someone confirm please?

Hey DPR, I have a comment and a question.
The new features you're implementing, they wouldn't happen to be using javascript would they?  Also, adding new css and images would just increase the amount of data needed to be sent and encrypted/decrypted through the network increasing overall latency.  Is my assertion correct here?

The new style has no javascript, only html and css like the current style.  If we do ever introduce something like that, you will be given forewarning, and it will not be required to use the site.  The new style will be a little more bandwidth intensive, but it has been tested and our infrastructure and the tor network should be able to handle it, though the final deployment will be the real test.

yes, what rxking is saying is true.  The current sig is ok though, right?

Greetings everyone!  It has been some time since I have made an official announcement, and I am very pleased to be making this one today:  The look and feel of our beloved market will be transformed in just a few days time!

We have been working tirelessly to deploy many "behind the scenes" upgrades over the past few months that have vastly improved our security, flexibility and availability.  These advances aren't sexy, and don't get much fan fair, but hopefully you've noticed the site running smoothly even as our community grows.  This kind of work rarely get's acknowledged, so I would just like to applaud everyone on the Silk Road team that has put in the effort to make this possible.

But now, in just a few days, I will have the honor of rolling out a sleek new look that will be impossible to miss and I am sure you all will love.  I feel it matches the integrity and professionalism of our community and the robust technology that empowers it.  New comers will now have the confidence they need to take that leap of faith and make their first purchase.  My hope is that this day will be looked back on as one where we really came into our own and started a new chapter in our quest to stand up for our freedom and declare ownership of ourselves and our bodies.

So you aren't too surprised when the change comes next week, here's a little sneak peak at the new login screen:

Much love to you all,
