Title: Blank Screen when going to Silk Road
Post by: Darkechild on June 18, 2012, 10:42 pm
Did they change their URL, it was working fine yesterday. I've changed my identity at least 8 times now, and I've been having this issue for at least 1 1/2 hours now.

Lol no need to get paranoid yet. Every site goes down every now and then.

EDIT: back up for me now

I got the same thing but when I opened a link to a vendor page from their sig line in the forums, it worked and took me to the sign in prompt.
Title: Re: Blank Screen when going to Silk Road
Post by: swti on June 18, 2012, 11:32 pm
so I guessing maybe it's not a good idea to make a purchase/ deposit bitcoins right now??
Since vendors too are getting a blank screen.

If you go to http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home, the login screen loads fine.  If you just type the root--http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion--it goes blank. 

I wouldn't worry about anything risky, security-wise.  I've already exchanged a message with one of my favorite vendors, so business can still go on.

Using http://zw3crggtadila2sg.onion/downornot/ I get:

Is http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/ up?
Yes (but with 500 error)

Does someone know what that means?

+1 to the issue.
And sorry mate, I dont trust "back-routes"
I appreciate it, but I know to much to ever go any route but the one well traveled.
I pass by too many fishers ;)


Thanks Everyone, update as you get it!

I am just guessing, but in fear it is a pfishing scam (Collects your login info for a mirror of SR, then the scammer has your info)

It may be a legit back door, but I would not used a random link to use my log in credentials.

Again, it is an educated guess. I mean no disrespect

I would agree not to use any other link unless posted by admin in the forum....
Title: Re: Blank Screen when going to Silk Road
Post by: wakannabi on June 19, 2012, 12:44 am
like others said NEVER use a link that is not provided by forum admins. we need to be patient! better that than stolen passwords...

This worked fine for me. I really don't think Wazup7 is trying to Phish as it is a genuine SR link and works fine.

you guys can always just click on a vendor's little globe under his avatar this will link to you their profile which inturn will give you access to the log in screen.

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home is working.
The home page under http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.html or whatever just redirects.

For whatever reason it is not. So if you use http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home it is still going to SR.

Using a vendor's link from the forum works like a charm.

My bookmark for the login page continues to be blank.

That doesn't work for me either.

I'm not even getting a blank page, I'm getting an error page......?
Title: Re: Blank Screen when going to Silk Road
Post by: Mishrume on June 19, 2012, 12:10 pm
Still blank for me. Not risking it. I'll wait til the bookmark works or a mod posts a working link

Administrator/Moderator - if I put:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home

in the address bar, it brings me to what appears to be the SR login page.  Am I risking exposure of my information to a pfishing/keylogging process?

It's the same domain, that 's clear, so how can it be a phishing site?

Hey gang, this was completely my mistake.  An update I deployed broke the main page, but I never actually visit the main page because I have everything I access bookmarked, so I didn't notice the problem until I saw this thread.  Fixing it now.  Sorry for the stress.

Thanks heaps for the update DPR +1 for putting our minds at ease  8)

He / she is testing parameter passing and is out-putting an id from the db to the screen.... eg something like this will be at the top of the php script  *** echo $_GET['page_id']; ***   I am a developer and do the same when something goes wrong and I don't know what ID's are being passed, so I echo it to the screen / browser so I see it and can look up what id that is being passed when logged in the database server locally, this is so one dosent have to judge what id is being passed by the data being returned, as this can sometimes be misleading

I bet my bottom dollar this is exactly what is happening here, so don't worry about any scams or phishing stuff, this is standard development practice :)
