Is the new road going to be decentralized?

[DoctorFreedom]

I'm sure for a lot of people it's important to know just that.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

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.

[DoctorFreedom]

That's great!

Great minds are working on it.

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.

There is no right for me to have to disclose this, your vote on my policies is whether you continue to use the market. At the end of the day it is down to the individual organization whether they disclose they have received funds from us or not - but Silk Road is not a transparent government body which you can demand to see the financials of because that can only serve to harm in this situation.

I would like to see the proceeds from the road used to better the market and its community. I'm sure many, if not all, others would like to see the same. I think Silk Road has the power to change the game but only time will tell. Good luck DPR.

[DoctorClu]

DPR just said this isn't a democracy on the allocation of proceeds. They will go where they need to. I'm sure if there is a need to establish a load balancing system due to high traffic or something, DPR will look into that, but at the end of the day it's his site. His rules. The fact that he is donating some of those proceeds to "other projects in the interests of freedom and liberty" as opposed to keeping it all for himself should speak volumes.

Thank you for not being too outspoken! Long live SR

It´s encouraging that efforts will be made to going in that direction and that support for developing that technology will be coming from this movement.
Although this is more of a security issue I believe that decentralization in general is vital to our liberty and for the decoupling of individuals from the chains that bind them to the state and government.It is part of our libertarian revolution.
I have confidence that when the time is right the appropriate moves will be made.

Someone is working on a decentralized Silk Road and would appreciate feedback and help:

Dick. Who the fuck do you think you are. WE are not funding anything. We are players in a marketplace that are risking nothing compared to the developers if caught. We buy and sell within a marketplace. If we are not happy then we can go elsewhere. Pretend you're buying from Ebay, do you think they give a single wank about having to give each customer an outline of their spending plans? SR can spend their money on anything they like and they have already given a commitment to spending a large part of that on development.

To say where all of the money is going to is ridiculus... loose lips sink ships
