Launch Success, Vendor Account & Login Troubles

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

Well that was certainly an interesting launch and I am happy to announce it went quite successfully after the initial hiccup. We've had over 5,000 registrations since launch and still growing which is great news for our community. I would like to use this opportunity to make clear some things regarding the next stage of the process and answer some common questions.


How do I get a vendor account?

Vendor accounts are being processed already and you have two options. If you can verify you were a vendor on the old forums via a PGP message, please contact Sarge who will verify your forum account as a vendor. AFTER Sarge has verified your forum account, please create a market account and forward the username on the market to me so I can verify it.

Alternatively, for those wanting to start fresh or need to pay the vendor bond, you will need to get in contact with me. The vendor bond is set at $200 currently. Create a market and forum account (preferably with matching names if possible) which you would like to be a vendor using. Then once you have those set up send me a message saying you would like to be a vendor and are ready to pay the vendor bond. I will then provide you with a bitcoin address to deposit your vendor bond in and once I have seen it confirmed, I will upgrade both of your accounts to vendor status.


Help - I'm having login troubles/bugs

We have been inundated with login problems today so please be patient. If you have a bug, please report it in the Bug Report forum and we will get around to it as soon as possible.

Problems regarding customer support should also be placed inside the new Customer Support forum and staff will answer your topic as soon as possible.


Support Messages/Job Applications

We appreciate all the support offers we have had from many of you and also the offers to join our staff, but I would ask these messages not be conveyed to us at the moment as we are very very busy and it is hindering our effectiveness when we have to struggle to prioritize our work in heaps of mails.


An FAQ will be put up shortly which should answer most of your questions!

Thank you.

I am rather proud to be a part and help.

And not be a pita.

[ProEvo]

Today was fantastic. The login screen was a personal highlight. The Feds will be sickened. Well done mate.

[Synergy]

Thanks DPR!

[Hiniguel]

[JohnTheBaptist]

$200 or £100 yes I'll be taking you up on that DPR.

Hiniguel: Like he needs you to tell him that, don't patronize us you idiot.

[House of Spirit]

You will be hearing from me shortly DPR, likely tomorrow or the next day, all you have done is much appreciated.

Thanks team!

[Dark_Star]

I'd just like to say thanks to all those involved for all the time and work you've put in. Also for the taking on the risks involved with this endeavor stay safe.

Cheers

[TheChain]

Thanks all!

I think it's time for you all to get a few hours sleep because it seems like you've all been active for like the last 2 days (at least) and c'mon, you deserve it! Look what a few dedicated people can accomplish in a short time under extreme pressure...

[pyrb]

Holy shit, this is amazing. Like some of those above me I'd like to say thanks for all the hard work put into Silk Road 2.0.  We truly did rise again - they can't keep us down. Incredible.

My only question is about whether the new site tumbles coins. Could you please address this in the FAQ?

Long live DPR!

[Agent]

Thank you for the update DPR, what a great effort the SilkRoad team is putting in to provide this service to the public.

[ashylarry]

I have Pmed Sarge, posted in the Vendor Roundtable thread, Pmed Sarge again but I get no response.

I can do anything necessary to confirm my account.  I have the same PGP key and access to the VR on the old forum.  I already setup my account on the new site.

Can anyone help me?

Good launch!!!!!!

Take 5 minutes to have nice sticky Indica and take deep breathe

[baller69]

Long Live SR!!!  Thanks to DPR and all the Admins we have risen again!


I must say the login screen is pure genius!

[X]

I was moved near tears when I logged in for the first time. Got my future vendor account registered and will be busily preparing to make that move as soon as possible.

[coolblue]

as elated as i feel - i would like to encourage caution- lets remember that those alphabet motherfuckers are reading and studying and crawling up our collective asses, and therefore prudence suggests caution- but what do i know? after all prudence wsas a semi passable whore in amstersdam red light-
pgp- all day every day

[Chemical_Love]

I love the way the new site opens up on the home page display before loging in. Made me laugh. I hope it stays like that. Its such a strong symbol of taking back the power those ass hats thought they had.

[Devil Weed Seeds]

Great work today DPR.

[jayblunted]

Success indeed.
I love how it feels so familiar like the old site has been plugged back in with some extra features. It really seems like an improvement on the old yet still as comfortable and "home like".

Great work DPR and all the team. You lot have the gratitude and respect of all of us here.

Viva la REVOLUTION.
Long live the SILK ROAD!!

This was a welcome site! The log in screen is perfect!  The feel of the site is familiar with a new overhaul in security. I like that they didn't try to fix what wasn't broke ( layout and feel) , and focused on security issues. I would like to know more about the specific security features they implemented for our protection that were not there before. Help me understand the flaws of the last site and the reinforced security of this one so I feel comfortable trading.

[bodnostrokulum]

Big up the whole crew !!! We rise again !!!

i think it was more or less the flaws of Mr Ulbricht than security flaws  in the site, so am i right to say they never would have go tthe site if they wouldnt have caught him slipping

[PerfectScans]

Awesome work DPR !! ..

Must say, the landing page is rather dashing

[meandmypills]

I was asleep for 1 month, I just woke up.... "It was just a nightmare." DPR said. He gave me a new link: http://silkroad6ownowfk.onion. Yes! This is going to be a long day

[k1llin]

congrats

[Magic Man]

Nice to see listings increasing on a daily basis. Looks like it may take some time to get back to where we were but I'm sure we'll get there in a couple months and be back into the swing of things.

[anontoker]

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

[The Interways]

Gratitude to all who worked on the reincarnation of Silk Road.

The site looks promising and I hope to be reinstated soon to continue serving the community.


At your Service !

Interways

[topshelf420]

Sent a PM to DPR on the forums but still can't post listings on the marketplace. 

[Devil Weed Seeds]

They will take care of you topshelf, they helped me when I could get logged in either.

[Mr Lucy]

So i sent Sarge a message on both my accounts on old and new forums. I haven't heard any reply yet (few weeks ago).
A requirement is we must have a "vendor tag"?? Can someone tell me what and how i should have gotten this? Was a forum account automatically created when you purchase a vendor's account?

[inanna]

Sarge said he was gonna be gone for a day.

[Cailieg]

Good to see things moving along smoothly. congrats to those getting their vendor status sorted. I look forward to the myriad of choices I remember and perhaps new ones as well.

Let's see some pure LSA extracts and some of the more obscure psychedelics!

Cheers.
