Title: update
Post by: Dread Pirate Roberts on November 12, 2012, 02:15 am
UPDATE (2351 UTC 11/16/2012): Registrations are open again.  Been monitoring the new set up and we are well within capacity, so we are going to open it up again (sorry to everyone left out in the cold the past few days).  Still working out a few bugs, but it looks like we are pretty much back on track folks.  I'll leave this thread pinned for now in case anything comes up in the next few days.  I hope to see all of you at movie night tonight :)  (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=69283.0)

UPDATE (0225 UTC 11/16/2012): Withdrawals are up to date, so if you sent a withdrawal and it is taking much longer than usual to show up, please contact support so we can investigate.  Still a few things to iron out with the site (people getting logged off, etc), but I think we are just about there.

UPDATE (2326 UTC 11/15/2012): Might not have to take the site down after all.  I'll let you know here if we do.  A side note about withdrawals:  There have been a ton of them (understandable), so we are getting through them as fast as possible.  Please be patient if we haven't gotten to yours yet.

UPDATE (2254 UTC 11/15/2012): The site went down again and there are people claiming to be responsible for it and making threats.  I don't want to take any chances, so the site is going to come down for a bit while we investigate what is going on.  Hopefully this is short lived... what drama!  Next update will come before 0600 UTC.

UPDATE (2355 UTC): Deposits are working.  All outstanding deposits have been processed, and future deposits will be processed as usual.  If you sent a deposit before or during the outage and your account has not been credited, message support so we can investigate your issue.  Some withdrawals have been processed, but there is still a queue we are working through.  I'll update when withdrawals are back to normal.

UPDATE (2052 UTC): Current members now have full access to Silk Road.  Registrations are still closed until we are certain we can handle the additional traffic.  We are still unable to process deposits and withdrawals, but are getting very close.  I will start a new thread with some commentary on this whole situation once we are running 100%.

UPDATE(0850 UTC): Silk Road is available once again, but on a limited basis.  New user registrations are closed for the time being.  Access is limited to vendors only.  New deposits and withdrawals (and any that were sent just before or during the outage) will not be processed until some time in the next 24 hours.  Assuming all goes well, access for all current members will be made available some time in the next 24 hours.

UPDATE (0012 UTC):  Sorry I'm late on this update, won't happen again.  We're pretty much polishing and going down the final check list at this point.  I'm confident we'll make our "matter of days" estimate and this won't be drawn out into week+ territory (assuming nothing goes wrong when we reopen).  When we reopen, access will be limited to vendors only for a few hours so they can mark packages shipped that were sent but not marked before we went down.  Also, auto-finalize and auto-vacation haven't been running since Sunday, and we won't fire those back up for a couple of days after we reopen so everyone can get square first.  Can't wait till this is behind us :)  Next update before 1500 UTC Wednesday.

UPDATE (1113 UTC): I and the team need sleep.  Getting really close now, home stretch (hopefully).  Next update will come before 2300 UTC, Tuesday.

UPDATE (0924 UTC): I know you won't like hearing this, but we aren't quite there yet.  We are working hard and getting closer though.  Next update will come before 1600 UTC.

Hello everyone,

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

Not hatting here but when a street dealer says they'll be around "shortly" and days later no action, shit means it ain't going down. Now i have read shortly more times in the last few days then i have in my entire lifetime. So now i'm sick of checking this forum to read the only word that gets banded around. Can someone, anyone,please put a time frame on when things will be operational? If this is not possible because nobody really knows then RIP SR. If it's because less info is to much info coz of the p i g 's then fuck me i'll have to be a reloading motherfucker time wasting  ass hole until nerdburgers get their shit on and get off that warcraft crap.

No Nigger boy, however I will say this regarding your clear obsession with the Negro race...

Nothing optional—from homosexuality to adultery—is ever made punishable unless those who do the prohibiting (and exact the fierce punishments) have a repressed desire to participate. As Shakespeare put it in King Lear, the policeman who lashes the whore has a hot need to use her for the very offense for which he plies the lash.

Take from that what you will...

THANK YOU DPR and associates for:
- making this site
- keeping it going
- fixing what's broken
- saving me from the mean streets where getting raped or robbed or worse is a real possibility on each and every buy
- not kicking me out just because i'm a newbie and haven't made any purchases yet because it's taking me time to learn pgp and btc, but i'm getting there

If there is a heaven, you're all going
:)
I dont wanna go to heaven unless theres something better than MDMA in there.
This is what I want in Heaven

1) A constant feeling like I'm on MDMA for my first time
2) Beautiful women
3) The ability to get it up

Thanks God, see you next eternity!

DPR- Hopefully you get many days off, or at least as many as you can manage.  I know when I owned a small business it was close to impossible to get any days off, not because I couldn't have taken them, but I wouldn't.  That needed to change, so I hope you can find your balance here.  Thanks for EVERYTHING!

Thanks DPR!
Newer to this site but it is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me, or anyone here for that matter. I greatly appreciate everything that is done to keep SR working the way it does. I can't believe how many ignorant assholes take this site and what you do for granted, without you there would be no SR, not just for a couple days but at all! Keep up the good work and take all the time needed to make sure SR comes back as safe and secure as it was, there is no need to rush a delicate process because some people on here have no patience whatsoever, I cannot believe some of the outrageous posts people have been putting up lately.
 Love what you do, ignore the haters!

Just read a post from Pine (yes wanking was involved) and she recons this could take days/weeks or even months. Now i understand shit happens. i watch movies so i understand.  But pirate or dpr, whatever you prefer, dude if this shit is gonna last weeks or months you gotta pirate up and let us sailors know so we can navigate what ship to sail. There are other options, sure no way as good as yours but a junkie's gotta do what a junkie's gotta do. Am i asking too much? Is having money tied up with no response as to when i can access my money cool in the eyes of every SR user here degrading those of us that dare question wtf this will be fixed if ever?

Don't sweat it, man. I work in Development as a programmer, and I know how valuable a dedicated IT person is, even though I'm not in that department. Servers are always shitting themselves, things like that. I'd recommend getting someone to cover for you while you're gone, but considering the industry you're in I can't say it's the smartest idea; three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

i just quoted that post so it was clear who i was talking to.  It's several of his other posts i find purely ignorant and ungrateful.  He doesn't have to be here.  If he has a problem with SR he can go back to the street if he like and leave all the great products on SR for the rest of us who do understand what a godsend this place can be for instance to those like myself who have cancer but don't live in a state where they can easily safely access their meds.  SR saved my life.  i mean seriously god forbid DPR step away from his computer for a few days seriously think about that.......what an ignorant, selfish, unrealistic demand to make.  That's the point i'm trying to make

Its times like this that make me think SR needs a sister site. When one site goes down, for whatever reason, the second site is still accessible. Vendors can advertise on both sites for the one join fee and buyers will always have access to their wares.

I think you lost control of the site!!!!

sounds a bit hard to believe i reckon............. this is a multimillion dollar site and it all relies on 1 person...................

Like people have said, you assume he can just hire new employees and use standard infrastructure as one would on the world wide web but Darknet's completely different. If he was going to disappear with your cash he would have, and finally you do owe him because like I said before, how much money have you made because he was thoughtful enough to give you a place to flog your wares to the whole world and not just your local hood. Think about it, Sony goes down from time to time, Banks close their sites for maintenance that hold your money but do you abuse the shit out of the bank manager or shareholders because of it. YouTube, as well as every site has to do things from time to time, and they aren't being attacked by every LE office in the world. You have to remember who his adversaries are, NSA, MI5&6, Interpol and many others are all attempting to penetrate the system to shut it down.

Also piss off, haters and complainers. Stop fucking whining about SR being down. Be thankful you even got SR. If you're so eager to log back in that you feel the need to say something rude on the forums, you should be the one trying to implement an underground market of items banned by most societies without getting caught. Think you lost money? Well that comes with the price of being involved with it. You signed up and you should of well known that there isn't no goin downtown to the store to get a refund. I lost five hundo $. Life rolls on. Live with it.
This aint yo fucking amazon. Give people/DPR a break.

I believe you're referring to the post I made saying perhaps he's not Libertarian and in fact a Nazi who's gone AWOL but then that was after I had just wired 150 BTC not knowing what was going on and there were people saying it was all over. I had been on for about five minutes when I wrote that and had no time to read all the posts made by others of significance. My main concern was the lack of authority on the issue saying something and the mods saying the same thing that they knew nothing either. When I woke up that morning I hadn't planned on losing $1600 of my good friends $ before I had a shower, know what I mean? I also must add that I said it was HIGHLY UNLIKELY he would do that to us but leaving us in the dark wasn't very considerate either, particularly for vendors, and the Admins NOT DPR should have let us all know they'd fucked up since it was also on their watch and DPR had no fucking idea what was up! Seriously cunt, WTF is your problem? Were you born a woman who's on her rags every day? You are one of these people who thinks the world owes them something but DPR owes you shit, except an eviction notice IMO! Just like the terrorists have really won by making the world a scared place to live and given LEO more power over peoples lives, so to does acting the way you do on here make people not confident in our ships captain, who deserves our appreciation and respect for bringing us all together knowing full well he's putting his fucking LIFE on the line for us to have a free market so that we can have a pot of gold to draw from. Like I said before, he's led us all to Paradise Island full of treasure and that deserves appreciation in and of itself, not to mention he's constantly making things more secure for us all. Personally, I'd follow him to the ends of the Earth and go to war for him or any other Libertarian against The System, except you since traitors deserve only one thing in times of war, and this is a motherfucking war! If you're such a big shot then why do you "need" SR at all? Oh that's right, you're a fucking smurf, now crawl back inside your mushroom house little man and keep quiet!


I think Niggerz is either someone from the BMR or some other such SR wannabe site, or just completely deranged and unappreciative of what DPR and the TEAM has done to enhance all our lives. If DPR knows who he is, please mate, freeze his account and keep his fucking money, you deserve it!
the rest of you are afraid to speak up because you're worried about losing yours aswell. instead you tongue dp rob's asshole in hopes that he spares you.

actually most of us read the forums and where it says you shouldn't have more btc in your SR account than you plan to spend immediately just in case something like this happens.   So no once again your ignorance is showing

I suppose it is my fault for being asleep while escrow was released and waking up to a 404. First thing I do every time I login is withraw all funds in my account thank you very much

at least you still have time, nearly end of monday my way so i definitely won't be getting any relief tomorrow - all because the vendors believed it will be up by now. the explanation doesn't make sense, site is not up and the maintenance page is still a static. if the site isn't even capable of displaying its own maintenance page then i would think there's still a lot messed up. i just wish the vendors would stop taking these bits of information as the gospel and start private sales till SR is actually working.

Hey everyone,

Again, really sorry for all the headache and heartache this is causing.  Just want to reiterate that everything is fine.  I apologize that I haven't given a specific time-frame, but I really want to make sure that when we reopen we aren't going to run into the same problems we were having.

My best estimate tells me we are looking at a matter of days or maybe a day before reopening, not a matter of weeks, but not a matter of hours either.  I hope that helps some of you plan.

I will keep you updated as I am able.

DPR, thanks for update, all I can say is that I understand: if this is one-man operation (and it seems it is), scalability problems demand very good expertise in the field. I know because I run one fairly large site where I had similar problems, still I guess it's much much smaller than SR.

great to heard word back from DPR. get well enough faith that SR will be back up and going soon enough. a lot of people need to chill out a bit.

it is definately harder for vendors who have got quite a bit of money tied up in SR, but for buyers you should know not to have any more BC's than necessary.

Hello everyone,

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

Post by: JezuzWazaMushroom on November 12, 2012, 09:32 am
It's no that I can't actually afford to pay back a dirty rotten $1500 dollars, it's that it's the last thing I want to have to do with $1500. $1500 is $1500 and why would I want it going somewhere it shouldn't when it could feed a starving child or something? I actually have $2K in there TBH, and let me tell you a secret why millionaire's stay millionaire's, because they're not frivolous with it and they spend other peoples money not their own and the good ones put it all into tax deductible charities like myself.

One year Kerry Packer (Australia's deceased former wealthiest person) paid $84 in tax. One of Australia's most well known gangster cum celebrity types Mick Gatto, operates a "industrial dispute resolution" business that although he drives an E63 AMG (I myself drive an S-Class but a Kompressor 3.5L with the 7sp G-Tronic box because it's not for racing it's a family car) and has holiday houses all over the place, posted an overall loss for the year of something like 27K a couple of years back to not pay tax. Look at Warren Buffet who still lives in the same house he bought a million years ago and yet still wouldn't give his kids anything more than an education of the highest standard. Buffets really nice grand daughter whom he's disowned for her part in a documentary shows how twisted some get by money and what they do with it. My point is this, smart people with money never actually spend money because after a certain point your milking your investments and putting it down to tax. Oh you're having a party, no you're not you're having a "company dinner which just happens to require magicians and "exotic dancers" to win over a prospective investment partner" but nobody there invested after seeing it wasn't viable for their portfolio due to unseen circumstances" lol.

One day I was talking with this drug dealer idiot with bling all over him and was even getting fucking gems in his tooth FFS, (retard rich kid) who was going on about how rich he was and that he never leaves the house without ten grand on his person for "just in case" and I said I'll bet you what you have on you right now that I'm worth more than you and I only have $150 in my wallet "just in case" we'll do this by comparing who has the largest bank account. He said "I have lots of bank accounts" so I said alright how about who has the access to the most cash or credit at a casino right now accessible to us with with what cards we had on us (it felt like playing Pokemon or whatever that Manga card game cartoon is kids watch with him) so off to Crown Jupiters we went since he didn't believe me and I wouldn't show him mine till we got there. He converted his cash to chips and I went and organised the same in value to pretend like I didn't know something he didn't, and went back over to where our friends were hanging out chatting about it as they had all become very interested in our wager, I guess it was one of those who had the biggest cocks in the room type things, then publicly with everyone we went to the floor manager and pulled out our cocks and he had an AMEX Platinum which he thought was the bomb, until I pulled out something very few people have, like a big cock, my AMEX Centurion Card. The Centurion Card is something you have to be invited to get by meeting certain wealth and spending criteria and just to have it costs me money every year for the security of being anywhere in the world and being able to buy a house if I want let alone just get a shit load of gold if the world looks like it's going to get fucked and go into hiding. Needless to say he was fucking ropable about it and I took his chips anyway and sent the money to an organisation I know he hates in his name too and showed him the receipt scan through Facebook, an organisation that supports the Palestinian people (because he's a Jew boy) but Fatah not HAMAS.

So I think you can deduce for yourself it was a figure of speech dude. I'd sooner rather give it to a kid with cancer's family who are eating baked beans every night for dinner to pay for his care than a millionaire criminal who stole it for no reason, which isn't too far from the truth so make of that what you will, the cancer bit I mean. My mate's bills are so bad that he's ordering MDMA to flog off to pay for it. I've offered to give him money but the cunt is too proud to accept charity, it's hard to watch. Mind you their not eating baked beans every night, but they haven't been able to go out to dinner in over a year (except my restaurant when I made them saying it was an invitation with other people to socialize, again because of his pride he says it's not my place to feed) from expenses and with his tax return he hopes to turn it into something decent because of the over inflated price of chems here. I'm not going to act like I earned my wealth, it's generational but I can't help what I was born into, but unlike much of the %1 my heart lies with the Ron Paul rEVOLution, everyone and everything, and I have traveled a lot so therefore have a social conscience plus using psychedelics and going to Burning Man forces me to feel sick when I know the way "they" operate everything.

However unlike in America, in Australia there's a balance of power between us and the Jews, we won't let them control our Fed etc thanks to people who go to schools similar to where I attended (St. Josephs) but I've never seen any of David Icke's lizard people, and if I you knew some of the owners of business and politicians I know you would be surprised that they aren't in fact some form of reptilian creatures because they're cold blooded no doubt. The problem with our system though, is the Jews control our media and therefore keep the people locked in this mentality of a Left/Right paradigm mentality of thinking.

I can tell you %100 from organisations the oldies were and still are members of and therefore dragged me into having involvement with at functions etc that I hate, that the mega rich are all in bed with each other and are about global control for themselves and their, the great grandfather started a mining company and we employ thousands of people now and made the bulk of our money from the smart old cunts prospecting skills and organising capacity to get the shit out of the ground and off to the rest of the world, and instead of paying transport companies to ship it went and started them too and shit just grew and grew. So that's why I said I'm a fair but wealthier than even DPR I'd say but no where near as intelligent or plain brilliant. I have nothing to do with any of "them" and I would do anything I can to establish Libertarianism world wide.

So you don't think we're bankers or something our family built it's wealth out of hard work and caring for employees above all and I stretch that further to say that I will be doing everything I can to support people like the Libertarians world wide and those less fortunate.

Here's two reasons exactly why the War On Drugs is bullshit, three actually, my mate is struggling for medical care because there's not enough state money that could easily pay for these things with war on drug expense/taxes, he's risking his life to save the life of his child and possibly his relationship, and if it's intercepted he won't be there to possibly see his child's small amount of time left. And if that were to occur the cops would paste in on their Facebook page and the Newspaper as a victory while at the same time demonizing an innocent man trying to help his family. Then we have to put up with queer cunts like that iHateNiggers CUNT who goes on about how hard it is for him because he's been locked out from Silk Road as if it's his right to use it at all when it was a gift to the world from DPR. FUCK I need to go and have a cone, but I hope this clarifies my position.

Peace

Seriously cunt, WTF is your problem? Were you born a woman who's on her rags every day? You are one of these people who thinks the world owes them something but DPR owes you shit, except an eviction notice IMO! Just like the terrorists have really won by making the world a scared place to live and given LEO more power over peoples lives, so to does acting the way you do on here make people not confident in our ships captain, who deserves our appreciation and respect for bringing us all together knowing full well he's putting his fucking LIFE on the line for us to have a free market so that we can have a pot of gold to draw from. Like I said before, he's led us all to Paradise Island full of treasure and that deserves appreciation in and of itself, not to mention he's constantly making things more secure for us all. Personally, I'd follow him to the ends of the Earth and go to war for him or any other Libertarian against The System, except you since traitors deserve only one thing in times of war, and this is a motherfucking war! If you're such a big shot then why do you "need" SR at all? Oh that's right, you're a fucking smurf, now crawl back inside your mushroom house little man and keep quiet!


I think Niggerz is either someone from the BMR or some other such SR wannabe site, or just completely deranged and unappreciative of what DPR and the TEAM has done to enhance all our lives. If DPR knows who he is, please mate, freeze his account and keep his fucking money, you deserve it!
the rest of you are afraid to speak up because you're worried about losing yours aswell. instead you tongue dp rob's asshole in hopes that he spares you.

actually most of us read the forums and where it says you shouldn't have more btc in your SR account than you plan to spend immediately just in case something like this happens.   So no once again your ignorance is showing

Gave up reading this rant half way through. but what surprised me if there is any shred of truth to it which I'm skeptical about. why would you put u[ so much personal info. a car that you own that is not very common and some kind of credit card that noone has. you would just serve to extreemly narrow down who you could be if LE were to take any interest. I call BS

Oh you're having a party, no you're not you're having a "company dinner which just happens to require magicians and "exotic dancers" to win over a prospective investment partner" but nobody there invested after seeing it wasn't viable for their portfolio due to unseen circumstances" lol.

One day I was talking with this drug dealer idiot with bling all over him and was even getting fucking gems in his tooth FFS, (retard rich kid) who was going on about how rich he was and that he never leaves the house without ten grand on his person for "just in case" and I said I'll bet you what you have on you right now that I'm worth more than you and I only have $150 in my wallet "just in case" we'll do this by comparing who has the largest bank account. He said "I have lots of bank accounts" so I said alright how about who has the access to the most cash or credit at a casino right now accessible to us with with what cards we had on us (it felt like playing Pokemon or whatever that Manga card game cartoon is kids watch with him) so off to Crown Jupiters we went since he didn't believe me and I wouldn't show him mine till we got there. He converted his cash to chips and I went and organised the same in value to pretend like I didn't know something he didn't, and went back over to where our friends were hanging out chatting about it as they had all become very interested in our wager, I guess it was one of those who had the biggest cocks in the room type things, then publicly with everyone we went to the floor manager and pulled out our cocks and he had an AMEX Platinum which he thought was the bomb, until I pulled out something very few people have, like a big cock, my AMEX Centurion Card. The Centurion Card is something you have to be invited to get by meeting certain wealth and spending criteria and just to have it costs me money every year for the security of being anywhere in the world and being able to buy a house if I want let alone just get a shit load of gold if the world looks like it's going to get fucked and go into hiding. Needless to say he was fucking ropable about it and I took his chips anyway and sent the money to an organisation I know he hates in his name too and showed him the receipt scan through Facebook, an organisation that supports the Palestinian people (because he's a Jew boy) but Fatah not HAMAS.

So I think you can deduce for yourself it was a figure of speech dude. I'd sooner rather give it to a kid with cancer's family who are eating baked beans every night for dinner to pay for his care than a millionaire criminal who stole it for no reason, which isn't too far from the truth so make of that what you will, the cancer bit I mean. My mate's bills are so bad that he's ordering MDMA to flog off to pay for it. I've offered to give him money but the cunt is too proud to accept charity, it's hard to watch. Mind you their not eating baked beans every night, but they haven't been able to go out to dinner in over a year (except my restaurant when I made them saying it was an invitation with other people to socialize, again because of his pride he says it's not my place to feed) from expenses and with his tax return he hopes to turn it into something decent because of the over inflated price of chems here. I'm not going to act like I earned my wealth, it's generational but I can't help what I was born into, but unlike much of the %1 my heart lies with the Ron Paul rEVOLution, everyone and everything, and I have traveled a lot so therefore have a social conscience plus using psychedelics and going to Burning Man forces me to feel sick when I know the way "they" operate everything.

However unlike in America, in Australia there's a balance of power between us and the Jews, we won't let them control our Fed etc thanks to people who go to schools similar to where I attended (St. Josephs) but I've never seen any of David Icke's lizard people, and if I you knew some of the owners of business and politicians I know you would be surprised that they aren't in fact some form of reptilian creatures because they're cold blooded no doubt. The problem with our system though, is the Jews control our media and therefore keep the people locked in this mentality of a Left/Right paradigm mentality of thinking.

I can tell you %100 from organisations the oldies were and still are members of and therefore dragged me into having involvement with at functions etc that I hate, that the mega rich are all in bed with each other and are about global control for themselves and their, the great grandfather started a mining company and we employ thousands of people now and made the bulk of our money from the smart old cunts prospecting skills and organising capacity to get the shit out of the ground and off to the rest of the world, and instead of paying transport companies to ship it went and started them too and shit just grew and grew. So that's why I said I'm a fair but wealthier than even DPR I'd say but no where near as intelligent or plain brilliant. I have nothing to do with any of "them" and I would do anything I can to establish Libertarianism world wide.

So you don't think we're bankers or something our family built it's wealth out of hard work and caring for employees above all and I stretch that further to say that I will be doing everything I can to support people like the Libertarians world wide and those less fortunate.

Here's two reasons exactly why the War On Drugs is bullshit, three actually, my mate is struggling for medical care because there's not enough state money that could easily pay for these things with war on drug expense/taxes, he's risking his life to save the life of his child and possibly his relationship, and if it's intercepted he won't be there to possibly see his child's small amount of time left. And if that were to occur the cops would paste in on their Facebook page and the Newspaper as a victory while at the same time demonizing an innocent man trying to help his family. Then we have to put up with queer cunts like that iHateNiggers CUNT who goes on about how hard it is for him because he's been locked out from Silk Road as if it's his right to use it at all when it was a gift to the world from DPR. FUCK I need to go and have a cone, but I hope this clarifies my position.

Peace


I believe you're referring to the post I made saying perhaps he's not Libertarian and in fact a Nazi who's gone AWOL but then that was after I had just wired 150 BTC not knowing what was going on and there were people saying it was all over. I had been on for about five minutes when I wrote that and had no time to read all the posts made by others of significance. My main concern was the lack of authority on the issue saying something and the mods saying the same thing that they knew nothing either. When I woke up that morning I hadn't planned on losing $1600 of my good friends $ before I had a shower, know what I mean? I also must add that I said it was HIGHLY UNLIKELY he would do that to us but leaving us in the dark wasn't very considerate either, particularly for vendors, and the Admins NOT DPR should have let us all know they'd fucked up since it was also on their watch and DPR had no fucking idea what was up! Seriously cunt, WTF is your problem? Were you born a woman who's on her rags every day? You are one of these people who thinks the world owes them something but DPR owes you shit, except an eviction notice IMO! Just like the terrorists have really won by making the world a scared place to live and given LEO more power over peoples lives, so to does acting the way you do on here make people not confident in our ships captain, who deserves our appreciation and respect for bringing us all together knowing full well he's putting his fucking LIFE on the line for us to have a free market so that we can have a pot of gold to draw from. Like I said before, he's led us all to Paradise Island full of treasure and that deserves appreciation in and of itself, not to mention he's constantly making things more secure for us all. Personally, I'd follow him to the ends of the Earth and go to war for him or any other Libertarian against The System, except you since traitors deserve only one thing in times of war, and this is a motherfucking war! If you're such a big shot then why do you "need" SR at all? Oh that's right, you're a fucking smurf, now crawl back inside your mushroom house little man and keep quiet!


I think Niggerz is either someone from the BMR or some other such SR wannabe site, or just completely deranged and unappreciative of what DPR and the TEAM has done to enhance all our lives. If DPR knows who he is, please mate, freeze his account and keep his fucking money, you deserve it!
the rest of you are afraid to speak up because you're worried about losing yours aswell. instead you tongue dp rob's asshole in hopes that he spares you.

actually most of us read the forums and where it says you shouldn't have more btc in your SR account than you plan to spend immediately just in case something like this happens.   So no once again your ignorance is showing

I suppose it is my fault for being asleep while escrow was released and waking up to a 404. First thing I do every time I login is withraw all funds in my account thank you very much

You can't afford to lose 150BTC of a friends money, yet you're a millionare yourself? Mhmmmm.

It was failing on my end. I stand corrected though. It DOES check out.

One year Kerry Packer (Australia's deceased former wealthiest person) paid $84 in tax. One of Australia's most well known gangster cum celebrity types Mick Gatto, operates a "industrial dispute resolution" business that although he drives an E63 AMG (I myself drive an S-Class but a Kompressor 3.5L with the 7sp G-Tronic box because it's not for racing it's a family car)
[/quote]

You are a liar... there is no S-calss MB that is a family car with the 7 speed and a 3.5L\

there is the SLK 350 which has both but that is a 2 seat droptop

The only S class family cars with the 7 speed trany are  S450/ S550/ S63 / S65.... none of which come with a  tiny 3.5L.

so now that you have been busted care to disagree?

let's say you have a old school S 350, even that does not have the new 7 speed gearbox...

you are a liar... dont come on here and talk trash about mercedes benz....  >:(


EDIT: btw.. I drive an 2009 E63, but it has the 2007 E55 engine... more power and more mods!  I will eat any 63 and day of the week!

Do people really want the admin to stop working on fixing SR to come on here every hour for an update?

Be patient, this is not fucking walmart or amazon. You can't expect fast service and bending over for your every need because just in case you never noticed SR is an illegal site. So you have to expect things might go wrong, otherwise you are in the wrong place doing the wrong things.

So yeah, just chill the fuck out.

Hey everyone,

Again, really sorry for all the headache and heartache this is causing.  Just want to reiterate that everything is fine.  I apologize that I haven't given a specific time-frame, but I really want to make sure that when we reopen we aren't going to run into the same problems we were having.

My best estimate tells me we are looking at a matter of days or maybe a day before reopening, not a matter of weeks, but not a matter of hours either.  I hope that helps some of you plan.

I will keep you updated as I am able.

Thats all us impatient fuckwits needed. Thanks :)

Thanks DPR!
Newer to this site but it is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me, or anyone here for that matter. I greatly appreciate everything that is done to keep SR working the way it does. I can't believe how many ignorant assholes take this site and what you do for granted, without you there would be no SR, not just for a couple days but at all! Keep up the good work and take all the time needed to make sure SR comes back as safe and secure as it was, there is no need to rush a delicate process because some people on here have no patience whatsoever, I cannot believe some of the outrageous posts people have been putting up lately.
 Love what you do, ignore the haters!

I've had a team of 150 monkeys on benzedrine sat at typewriters for the past 7 hours, and not one has come up with a way of expressing my thoughts as eloquently as stoveit just did. Well said!!

It's no that I can't actually afford to pay back a dirty rotten $1500 dollars, it's that it's the last thing I want to have to do with $1500. $1500 is $1500 and why would I want it going somewhere it shouldn't when it could feed a starving child or something? I actually have $2K in there TBH, and let me tell you a secret why millionaire's stay millionaire's, because they're not frivolous with it and they spend other peoples money not their own and the good ones put it all into tax deductible charities like myself.

Look at Warren Buffet who still lives in the same house he bought a million years ago and yet still wouldn't give his kids anything more than an education of the highest standard. Buffets really nice grand daughter whom he's disowned for her part in a documentary shows how twisted some get by money and what they do with it.

Everything is explained here, you can even search on the right top op this page...
Seriously, learn to do some research before asking stupid stuff like that.
I know you might be aware that the site is down.
But learn to search and read, and if you don't find an answer then you may post stuff like this.

a "genius" who saw EXPLODING GROWTH and couldn't make the proper adjustments to keep the site operational, keeps us vendors in the dark and our funds in limbo and won't give any concrete answers. I owe him shit.
pop quiz, how do you modify your path environment variable in a POSIX system?

no clue. ask dp rob. he's the genius
trick question! it's different depending on which shell you're using. csh is the de facto UNIX shell but bash is most people's preference. PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/zsh ; export PATH :)

basic UNIX stuff. it's impossible to use UNIX for anything without knowing what environment variables are and what they do. if you haven't the technical knowledge to know what kind of complex problems can arise from the complex architecture that a website that is constantly serving pages with embedded image data and is constantly tumbling coins and is constantly keeping track of a huge database of orders and is constantly being accessed through TOR which requires a lot of overhead to transmit a webpage, then you end up sounding pretty ignorant and petulant when you complain that a couple nerdy kids would have this place running within a few hours, and what-have-you for other complaints.

Ahh thank God. Its so reasuring to hear something like this. I totally take SR for granted now, its a way of life, Ive been shitting my self the last few days thinking Id lost it. I dont want to go to any of the other dodgy sites. This is the best. I probably needed a break but this has reminded me how important this site is not just to me.

Long live SR and DPR.

Hello everyone,

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

poolsclosed, i'd give you a +10 if i only had enough posts to give karma (and if the karma function allowed me to give a +10!). as a sysadmin myself, i'd add that the only answer one can give to 'how long will this take to fix' is 'usually about 5 mins after the problem has been identified'. if i only had 1c for every time i'd been asked how long a problem would take to fix i'd be richer than jeezuzwazamushroom by now. be patient folks, good security and an efficient and reliable infrastructure is central to protecting sr buyers, vendors, and all our lovely btc...

DPR's public key

it's a different one ....  :o
Title: Re: update
Post by: g7455mk2 on November 12, 2012, 05:30 pm
So to summarize:

A. DPR Posts "GPG Signed" Message on DPR account updating us on when the road will be back.
B. GPG Signature does not match DPR public key that seems to be floating around on the forums.

...and as a result....

C. Vendors and users are largely back to where they were on Friday, suspicions are certainly warranted.

Seem about right?

Just another thank you for the patience and faith to everyone.  We're still working on getting everything set up.  Again, I'd rather take the time to be extra cautious.  I don't want a repeat of last week.  I'll check back in whether there is news or not by midnight EST.

take so much time as you need my friend, your real crew will always be on your side  ;D

I can't believe some people are still throwing a shit fit. Well actually I guess I can. You will get your fix soon my brothers, hang in there.

While I'm not kicking up a storm, I'm literally anxiously awaiting SR to return.
I'm almost out of benzos, I have a high tolerance. If the site isn't up soon I won't get my order in time and I could very well suffer severe symptoms.
Sure, I got my tolerance to where it is but I need the benzos to even get out of bed, I have legitimate reasons for its use and the doctors just don't take you seriously here.
Still, I'm going to have to try the doctor, I hope they can show some compassion and (as they should) understand the severity of acute benzo withdrawal.

Nah, but based on informed conjecture, I think the distribution centers are still operating to some degree, so it's like a half-day for your package's journey being completed, so you might get it tomorrow if it was supposed to come today.

no one was left in the dark..
as DPR said: "Figures when I leave for 24 hours."
do you really expect him to sit here with his/her thumbs in their ass all day/night? NO.
people have lives to live.. away from the Road, do not forget that, ever.
the mods posted, INIGO, saying he would be "shocked" if the site was not back up "by Monday".
which we have until midnight tonight.. and everyone has "money" tied up... so chill.
people cannot just go raging because obviously none of us were capable of making this site..
hell.. half of you are not capable of USING this site.. more less running it.


sooo.. everyone sit back, relax, and wait. it will be up soon.
we have an amazing team and an awesome el' Capitan.. they will take care of us.
they wouldn't be able to function without us.. so relax. we're all in the same boat awaiting our Captain's orders.

Maybe even le is busy with it for the time being.
Fact SR has been down for 120 hours
DPR claimant to have been gone for 24 before updating, that means the site was down for over 24 hours before he left. DPR Sig can not be confirmed.

Hi, gazwel, would you mind telling me the method by which a person can see their coins in their SR wallets, without logging in to SR which can't be done now? I didn't know there was a way to do this, but please enlighten me, as I am no expert.

Type your SR wallet address into google, The top hit should be from blockchain.info and it will show you how much is in your wallet.

If you don't know your SR wallet address, then go to your usual wallet and look for the address you sent the amount to in your transactions.

DPR puts his personal freedom on the line for this place, hes got to be one of the top wanted men in many three letter organisations.

He cant just pop it back on line like a clearnet site, he needs to make sure its 100% secure not to leave any expolits or trace to himself or any of us.

Would you rather he gets locked up and the site gets compromised?

Id rather wait to make sure everybody is safe.

Yeah, I thought that was the way and I had already done that, and it shows a balance of zero:
No. Transactions    6    
Unspent Inputs    0
Total Received    17.4577 BTC    
Final Balance    0 BTC

Why would it say zero if I know that before going down I had a tad less than 15 coins in there? I don't mind revealing this as it's not true anyway, I changed the amounts from what the blockchain said.

Still, why does it say zero? I sure hope I don't sound stupid, but there doesn't seem to be an explanation I can come up with.

kitkat82, just to say, it's nothing personal, but stop saying things that hardly can be done on SR:
1. If you stick to encrypting your adres and other sensitive data with PGP, FBI or any other DEA etc. would see trying to decrypt users data meaningless, and if they would be dumb enough to start doing it, probably they would try first with big buyers/vendors, and the start point would be vendors.
2. Other option, as you mentioned on other thread, if they would make arrest with highly rated vendors, they would have to change they PGP keys, and in minutes vendor would write on forum that his account is compromised.

So yes, we can assume that there is some risk, but this risk was there even before maintenance.

What do you mean?  I swear I saw a pic of DPR right underneath Anwar Al Awlaki before he was killed by a drone strike!

Seriously I'm sure if more LE knew about SR then DPR would be more of a wanted person but at this point I don't think there are even enough LE people who would know how to access (let alone use) this site for half of these conspiracy theories to even be conceivable.

I'm all for being skeptical but the paranoid people on here need to take a chill pill.  They're just making themselves look like amateurs.  If the technical problems are due to increased usage / traffic it would make sense that now, of all times, DPR would want to keep things running smoothly so (s)he can rake in even more cash than before.

Will the site be up today?  I have my doubts but at least someone's working on it.

I think that's fairly blinkered too. You talk about LE like they are just a heard of lobotomized cattle and that we are somehow the super-race. I have to say I find it quite hard to swallow that people make these silly presumptions in a serious way. It takes less than 5 minutes from seeing a news report on SR to install Tor and access the site. I mean Christ you can just look up SR on wikipedia and the URL is there for all to see  please don't make silly statements like the above because it's just makes you look po-faced and fairly ignorant of reality.

Like Wilson saying that DPR is gunna on the top most wanted list, erm get real much? After Al Quieda, the Taliban, the Cocaine and Heroin cartels in South America, Mexico and Afghanistan respectively, the various international Mafia organizations that kill 1000s and make Billions I don't think a site that does $20-30Mil a year is gunna be as high on the list as them.

If they caught hundreds of buyers then they would be able to brag about how great they are even more. The addresses aren't logged, but DEA may be editing the source to log it.

I'm guessing this is not the case, but if any LEO did take SR, they would probably do more than shut it down.

Yea I would think this site is experiencing a massive increase in traffic but I would not know if that is the reason for maintenance. I wouldn't know if DPR is a wanted man. Is he doing anything illegal?  I believe he has a disclaimor up saying he is not responsible for the actions taken by members of this site nor is he responsible for anybody that gets busted doing illegal activities.

Erm... I'm puzzled.  So when the site began -- or at the very least when it got to more than a handful of users -- in early 2011, DPR's public key listed staff@silkroadmarket.org for his email.  But it wasn't until May 2012 that anybody thought it would be a good thing to actually reserve that domain?  Or was that when somebody who thought it would be a useful malicious thing reserved that domain?

... what am I missing here?  If that is a legit email address, then where's my major malfunction?  If it isn't, then wouldn't it be good to make it a very well reinforced habit to remind people "this email is not real," anytime you mention the key?

Try doing a whois query for silkroadmarket.org and dispel my ignorance, por favor?

That's not so unusual.  SR has some kind of mixing service, remember.  When that address gets the coins, they actually are owned by whoever has the private key for that public bitcoin address.  Presumably DPR or his team, which must then automate a mixing process by passing the coins on somewhere else.

The coins don't have to be at that address for your account to spend them.  At least I don't see how that would be the case, though I've never seen anyone actually come out and say as much.

Bump.  Seriously, this makes me very nervous; if somebody could at least give me a theory here I'd appreciate it.  I can't figure it out.  I'm concerned that either something is amiss, or that my knowledge of how domains get registered and email gets routed and all that is just plain broken.  Either is very bad, since knowledge is power and power can be safety.  What's up?

All of you complaining can go fuck yourselves

DPR puts his personal freedom on the line for this place, hes got to be one of the top wanted men in many three letter organisations.

He cant just pop it back on line like a clearnet site, he needs to make sure its 100% secure not to leave any expolits or trace to himself or any of us.

Would you rather he gets locked up and the site gets compromised?

Id rather wait to make sure everybody is safe.

Half of you dont have a clue about this scene seriously..



the tree letter word organizations quote couldnt have been better said mate, i think people forget that this is not a USA based ONLY (F.BI., D.E.A) market, its world wide! every single drug or law enforcement agency in the globe is pry aware of DPR or the road at this point, but that doesn't mean he or the site has been comprised, especially in only the short amount time the road has been up or the short time that law enforcemnt even were introduced to this road. Id take a decent  time for them to find DPR (if he is really as smart as we all hope and think he is) not to mention this very generously kind sir that makes all this possible would be a FOOL if he is located in the states. the fact of the matter at hand is that theres no way this site could be shut down from only the DEA the FBI etc... this is a WORLDWIDE market with WORLDWIDE buyers and vendors. id take some crazy all leaders from around the world to sit down at the big round table to discuss how they would have to work TOGETHER as one to bring it down shit.  And Im not even going to get into the farmers market example as we all know that site was a joke, but hey, could it have been what lead to the silk road? the world may never know:) lets all also not forget though that on sat a moderator from the road posted an update about the site, and i remember him saying "we would be amazed if we didnt have it back up and running by Monday (its now Monday night and still not up) but then the post fro DPR from yesterday doesn't address any of the latest previous update from the moderator, any specifics and the stories on each post seemed to vary. I don't know what to believe anymore so i welcome anyone to make some of this more clear. Maybe DPR made his millions then cashed out not to become another fatality sitting in a penitentiary only to tell his or hers stories. he actually made his $, got out Scott free, kept his freedom, kept his stories to tell, and of course kept his fortune. <------ thats an option not always thought of ;)

Hey everyone,

Again, really sorry for all the headache and heartache this is causing.  Just want to reiterate that everything is fine.  I apologize that I haven't given a specific time-frame, but I really want to make sure that when we reopen we aren't going to run into the same problems we were having.

My best estimate tells me we are looking at a matter of days or maybe a day before reopening, not a matter of weeks, but not a matter of hours either.  I hope that helps some of you plan.

I will keep you updated as I am able.

Just another thank you for the patience and faith to everyone.  We're still working on getting everything set up.  Again, I'd rather take the time to be extra cautious.  I don't want a repeat of last week.  I'll check back in whether there is news or not by midnight EST.

Anyway, I have another one of these offline that was generated when silkroad changed to the new URL if anyone wants yet another way to validate his newest messages are not fraudulent.

Don't justify yourself to a bunch of unappreciative miscreants boss, we await the overhaul of the ship you so graciously let us work on and we've all seen enough episodes (well at least I have anyway) of Deadliest Catch to know you don't go out in the Bearing Sea without a sound boat and crew.

Like I've been telling people, STFU and scrub the decks and let our Captain plot our course. You've led us to buried treasure before, and every pirate ship has down time when it needs to pull into Port for maintenance etc. I don't know why they're all not in the local taverns of Port Royal spending their ill gotten loot with Guybrush Threepwood and some hookers, instead they're sitting around cooking up conspiracies acting like school girls.

One would have thought by now your word is good enough for us, and if you were compromised by LEO you would tell them to GTFO and wouldn't be accessing your shit anyway so fuck them!

It's an honour to be part of the crew, even if I'm just a shitty old deck hand lol with a peg leg and we'll be back on the high seas looking for merchant ships to raid in no time!

Is he doing anything illegal?  I believe he has a disclaimor up saying he is not responsible for the actions taken by members of this site nor is he responsible for anybody that gets busted doing illegal activities.

Lol Ralph my old fruit that disclaimer has about as much legal weight as employing a can of coke to be your litigation team. :P

Well but is hosting and maintaining a website on the onion relay network illegal? Or maybe it's illegal to be making a commision from drug sales. At any rate I guess DPR is as guilty as the rest of us who buy and sell drugs illegally. I have never seen his vendor account or have known of him to sell any type of goods or services here. That don't mean that he doesn't tho.

I just don't understand why he'd use an email address at a domain that wasn't registered until a year and a half after SR was started?  Why not just leave it blank if you didn't intend on putting a usable one in, instead of using one that appears legitimate enough to get some people emailing it?  Is the whois database info not entirely accurate?  Would it show as newly created if somebody accidentally let it lapse and then re-registered it fresh, maybe?

Get locked up?... If he is caught getting "locked up" would be a blessing, just the charge for being a "Drug Kingpin" is death. This guy is a Drug Overlord Darth Maul times 10. By law he can be charged (himself) for every single transaction that has happened since this site was created.

Some "Down Time" should be more than expected if not WELCOMED so atleast we know this guy is on top of his shit 10 fold.

DPR is a revolutionary just because the site has gone down for a bit doesn't mean shit, If i was him id bring the site down every day at some time just to triple check everything is working as required.

Does nobody put into perspective that all this forum flaming and explosion of posts is probably stressing the dude out, no body wants there fans turning against them and in the end yes we are all fans I don't see anyone else here coming near close to what this guy has accomplished.

No in itself hosting a website on the onion is of course not illegal. However given that DPR owns the site he permits what is and isn't allowed to be sold on here (for example, he allows drug but not identities, CC stuff or CP) and also takes a profit from those sales and that is about 5 offenses there on its own.

No it is a valid concern, not irrational. I wouldn't read too much into the email address associated with the gpg key, because anyone can put anything in that field. It would be one of the easiest ways to get information about DPR if he was that stupid to put info that could be associated with him.
My guess would be some spammer/scammer has registered that domain afterwards once seeing his key. I would have probably put obvious garbage in there like you said or at least the onion address of the site. Probably an oversight on his behalf.

The problem we have here is there is no simple way of verifying whether DPRs posted key was valid without SR being online. Luckily like I posted you can check against older copies of messages that were posted here. The difficulty is that you likely don't have copies of those offline and the only copies easily found are on this forum which is also controlled by DPR. I just happened to have 2 messages saved entirely offline from here that I can validate against and as best as you can trust a 2 post screamer they check out.

The true conspiracy theorists would suggest that I'm also DPR. The easiest way to deal with this once this shit all blows over is to make sure DPRs public key is public and stored in places that DPR likely doesn't have control over. Then anyone can verify any of his posts any time they want without relying on people reposting his pubkey here.

Not dogging you, I partially agree but we can't expect Turn-Key service in the drug market world(just yet) They did say they would be surprised if it wasn't back up by Monday and thats assuming everything goes as planned.

We can only expect that if a new or potential threat is discovered we cannot simply call our local Geek Squad and tell them to swing by.

i think this enterprise is ideal driven. this guy dpr is an idealist and he does this for the sake of it. so i would abandon the "made millions and took off theories. there are individuals in the u.s.a that move in a week the amount of drugs and money this site moves in a year-i'm sure of it. so i wouldn't suppose le would do anything but simply shut the site down if they found a way-don't be paranoid people they are not after YOU. i expect that the site will be online before the weekend and big blooming bud business. uknow sr is mostly a midclass+ nerd- market right? we're not making such a HUGE impact on the global drug market..:) give me a break

It's funny that people went a bit loopy, as I just assumed SR was down for maintenance when I tried logging in.... the boys in blue aren't clever enough to shut SR down, and they know if they did another site would open up twice the size within a few hours. Thanks for the update DPR.

Some of them are actually pretty smart.  Basically all of them are competent.  It's not the boys in blue that would worry me though -- it's the one in suits. Especially the ones who sit in rooms with mathematics and 0s and 1s all day every day.  Some of those are as clever as they come, I have no doubt.  Geniuses have to work too, and the government has lots of fun toys if you play for their team.

Underestimating the boys in blue is always a bad idea. Saying that I don't think the place is compromised and if it is I certainly have no fear of my door getting kicked in as a result.  There's a few people here that could do with some tinfoil hats. Also its a perfect opportunity for LE to instill fear by spreading rumors and scaring people away.

Kinda destroys definition of genius, for me it's a person with great insight on matter(adding for example destroying societies), and you simply assumes that he/she would be greedy little prick which like to use toys made mostly by less enlightened ones.

of course downtime is expected, but not this sudden. it's been down going on 4 days now, with no contingency in place for recovering funds in our accounts
i'd have no problem with his saying the site will be shut down for a few days to work out some bugs or manage ugrading the servers. i'd cash out what was left in my account and come back once it reopened
how can a site be down for "scheduled maintenance" only after it shut down unexpectedly?
enough of this double talk

How would consider it double talk? Maybe its just the default message when DPR is working maintenance on the site. Try not to come to conclusions so quickly.

Luckily I'm not too stressed. Have good contacts IRL that will drop to the door for everything except benzo's. But a purchase of those usually lasts me months. Even tho I am keen to try some Dexedrine. That will never happen if this site doesn't come back up.

BMR uses escrow just like SR, scam ratio is similar to SR. The main issue with BMR is lack of selection when compared to SR. That would change I'd imagine if SR tanks and all our vendors set up shop there.  In the meantime I am collecting emails of my fav vendors and looking for good 3rd party escrow support.

I hope you're right.
In the meantime we aren't even being told why the site's down. All we got is a few posts that may or may not even be real signed messages, only saying that we're working on it.
Aside from autofinalization, none of the issues brought up have been addressed and we're still in the dark.

Yeah I hear ya, Let's all hope for a little more clarity in future messages. Hope this shit will be back up soon!

Post by: zumer on November 13, 2012, 12:49 am
Excuse me, but as of yesterday we were told that "you would be very surprised" if the site wasn't up by Monday.
It's now end of Monday, and no follow up today.
There are a lot of people here with significant financial issues being caused by this delay.
When you take on the responsibility of holding thousands of peoples' money in escrow accounts, you are accountable for what is going on.
When your assistant said "monday", we expected either "Monday", or some very frank communication as to what is going on.
There are a lot of people here with blind trust. Me... I've had a bank go under with the manager & assistant buggering off with 30 million in deposits including mine. And the receivers investigated as long as their fees were paid. Once that tap ran dry, they sent out a form letter to depositors saying we were shit out of luck.
So,,, on behalf of a lot of people with money tied up in escrow accounts, we'd like some honest answers.
Right now, the site is a dead link. What does that mean?
I would like nothing more than for a hundred people to criticize me for this post & to be dead wrong.
But when someone gives a commitment, you either meet it, or very clearly explain what is going on.
I understand the nature of this business is built upon secrecy. But it is also built on trust.

"would be very surprised" is not saying that the site would definitely be up by any stretch of the imagination. I'm guessing that he is now very surprised. DPR came on afterwards stating
Quote
Hey everyone,

Again, really sorry for all the headache and heartache this is causing.  Just want to reiterate that everything is fine.  I apologize that I haven't given a specific time-frame, but I really want to make sure that when we reopen we aren't going to run into the same problems we were having.

My best estimate tells me we are looking at a matter of days or maybe a day before reopening, not a matter of weeks, but not a matter of hours either.  I hope that helps some of you plan.

I will keep you updated as I am able.

This was today.

A post before that included
Quote
Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours

Presumably the admin that originally posted knew when DPR would be back and presumed that DPR would have it sorted in no time at all.

SR is liable for all btc in escrow? Does that mean they are also liable for all buyers addresses that pass through to the vendor? Are the obliged to conform to the laws of data protection and freedom of information (if applicable)...

I have a good idea, if SR decides its game over lets go to our local financial regulators and complain to them to help us retrieve the funds that are currently held is escrow because we wanted to buy illegal drugs over the internet.

Post by: quinone on November 13, 2012, 01:38 am
I don't understand why all you hater's expect a play by play update of what they are doing and when they are doing it.

Our enemy (LE organizations across the world) are watching the site and situation closer then most of us. 

For DPR or any admin to come out here and tell us anything hurt's the security of Silk Road.  LE are itching to find a crack in our solid foundation and giving them timestamps of progress and/or info in what went wrong, or how it's being restored is only going to give our enemies the thing they want most, INFORMATION.

I don't know about anyone else but i'd rather wait for SR to return then to find SR has been permanently put down (and other repercussions) by what i'm sure has been a long ongoing large global collaborative effort of the IT personnel of any LE organization in the world that knows about SR to shut it down.

Those of you complaining the most should have learned a very important lesson, don't leave your money in SR, or in the hands of anyone but yourself and your encrypted wallet.dat that you've put on a hidden volume of a USB stick or other various ways of hiding and protecting your wallet.dat.  The exception of course is money you have tied up in SR ...

Yes many vendor's have their money tied up in SR from order's they shipped right before it went down, and
Yes many buyer's are concerned about their order's auto-finalizing or just having not received an order.

We are ALL in this together, all waiting with concern, but god damn it can't you people learn what PATIENCE is?

I'm sorry to have written a completely trolling post, I am just tired of reading page upon page of BITCHING when we should all just calm the fuck down, let the admin's do their job and HOPE and watch out for updates from those people repairing SR who I am grateful for being smart enough to know to keep their mouths shut short of major announcement's.

Having to try to skim through page upon page of trolling posts (like my own, I admit I may not be helping either ... but I am trying) for the important posts from DPR/admin's is not a very good demonstration of the SR community to ... outsider's that we're all mature adult's does it?

There's nothing ANY of us can do other then learn lesson's on how to conduct business on SR in the eventuality of it coming down and WAIT until the site is HOPEFULLY restored, complaining does not help !

Pablo is absolutely correct, I just presumed that DPR would be able to turn the switch and put the site back up as soon as he got back. I purposely didn't make any promises. What I can promise you, is that we're not taking this lightly. Security is the number one priority here, and in order to achieve that security, we need to take the time to make sure everything is just right before going back up online. I would hope you guys would rather have a top-notch secure system that takes a little longer to go up, then to have some half-ass glitchy mess go up immediately.

Please be patient, we will be back up soon.

brothas n sistas on the road:

I see many of us as part of an overall movement towards greater consciousness and deeper awareness. We tend to "get things" in a much better fashion than we used to. Ultimately we care about the whole. We recognize that this is the path we must take.
Even limlim is finding solace in peace.

We also without thinking know that there is no other place like this. Period. And the fools who have created it, upgraded it, covered losses, responded to endless queries after endless other who knows what have started one of the most incredible master pieces of symbiotic true connected commerce.

So
for the motherfuckers that can't just get over themselves and their problems and their losing out and whaa whaaa whaa. Either RELAXX or get the fuck over it and just wait and see what happens. As far as I'm concerned the replies and updates have been clear. Maybe before posting another whiner post, try and actually reading through the thread.

Thanks for the update Inigo. I want you to know that most of us absolutely support DPR and know that he is doing his best to make sure everything is as secure as possible before the site comes back up. Most of us are happy to wait the extra couple days for peace of mind. Please ignore the insane masses who continue to insult the work you do. You and your team have our full support, and we appreciate the paradise you have built. Please let this post be representative of the average opinion, since I can assure you that it is.

Look, I'm sure there are some legitimate vendors on the site running business. However, anyone who has decided to go there for the week because SR is down for a short time is obviously just not thinking. I've heard about a lot of problems that happen through BMR.

If you really need roxies, I highly recommend taking the plunge into BMR (I know it hurts...it hurt me too) if you can't stand to wait any longer.

Would you like a vendor to scam you and fuck you in the ass? How about a DEA agent showing up at your door and fucking you in the ass? This and so much more can be yours! Just make your way over to BMR, home of the Dumbass Retard*.


*Hint, the Dumbass Retard is you. I don't mean you, person that asked what BMR is. I mean you, person that was dumb enough to try BMR. Kill yourself.

Wait. What? If you use a trusted vendor that you know from SR on BMR (sending info encrypted using their PGP key) where is the harm? I think your comment does not take into account the various scenarios possible. Stop sucking SRs dick so much.

That said, I can't imagine regularly shopping there.

Title: Re: update
Post by: Winston420 on November 13, 2012, 03:15 am
so wen will the site be back up?and i put 220$ in the day the site went down and i havent had any clue if my money is their?the company  that i use sent the cash tos r and i cant know if its there untill the site is up.and the company i use is laget and they sent thw money and hasnt been returned..i have the recite so i hopre the S R will be honest and make sure we all get whats ares..rufus666

I had transferred money to SR and was about to complete an order before the site went down.   As it is part of good practice in keeping transactions anonymous, I requested a fresh btc address to send that money when I sent it.   That address still has that money unspent according to the block chain.   If  SR were to abscond with the money, it certainly hasn't been moved yet to another wallet.

Post by: danknugsdun on November 13, 2012, 03:24 am
While I don't promote usage of BMR I will also not slate them. I'm a vendor there and have made 2 sales along with some in the pipeline.

I prefer SR by hundreds of miles as do 99.5% of the people here but BMR is ok.

Dank

Look, I'm sure there are some legitimate vendors on the site running business. However, anyone who has decided to go there for the week because SR is down for a short time is obviously just not thinking. I've heard about a lot of problems that happen through BMR.

Yeah you're not wrong. I've seen loads of scams happen on BMR on a daily basis. But its mostly to do with the fraudsters. They turn people over, so what do the people who buy from them expect?

I'd like to point out how marvelous this simple sentence is.  "I can't imagine regularly shopping there."  For drugs.  We all shop for drugs in a surprisingly safe, peer-reviewed fashion.  Like it was the fucking corner grocery store, and still people are outraged.  Fuck this race.  Where's my gun -- I'm outta here.  Time to try being a turtle or something.  Yeah...

Amen brother - forgot about Tony76, hope he's freezing his ass off in Canada .  Tough week, first BitInstant stop taking cash deposit via Trust Cash then SR when down and is still lying on the ground.  I would not trash BMR so quick, I did a small transaction with a favorable result.  Keep in mind that SR is a really big target and just like Napster it will be gone one day - at least for the US residents.

I just wanna say many thanks to DPR and all SR staff for keeping this ship afloat.  I know it can't be easy.

I could be wrong but I can't remember a time when an admin refers to Silk Road as "The" Silk Road.....has DPR or any admin ever used "The" I may be wrong I honestly can't recall ever seen "the" before anywhere by a person in charge......anyone else chime in????

Hey gang,

We're still getting things set up.  Nothing new to report.  Obviously I can't say much, but we are redeploying the entire system and it is taking lots of time to get all of the data properly backed up and where it needs to be, not to mention thoroughly testing the changes we are making to the system that will hopefully give us enough head room to grow multiple times again.

I'm fully aware that Silk Road isn't your only choice and that my reputation is on the line right now.  We are working on all of these issues in parallel and will be slamming the caffeine until we are up and stable.

Your next update will come no later than 5 am EST.

Cheers,
DPR

PS - I hear everyone's hopes and fears.  This is a stressful time for some of us.  I'm taking this opportunity to find a calm center as the situation whirls around me and I keep pressing forward, calm and clear.  This won't be the most challenging situation I'll face I am sure and it is good practice.  Good luck to each of you as you get through this with me :)

Okay folks, the DEA thought they had us. They really did. I mean they took all that time capturing DPR, taking over his website, ready to put it back online and take us all down. But you know their one fatal flaw? The word "THE." Nice try DEA motherfuckers. We're on to you.

Oh ..so i'm an asshole for pointing out the TRUTH ???   
Pointing out they  have neither DONE shit, nor have they TOLD US shit.......
why even have an update??    LOL

They've had multiple updates in this very thread. As a matter of fact, let's look at the title of the thread. What is it again?

I'm in shock at the immaturity and hostility of SR users.  Maybe i'm naive, but I thought the users of this site were for the most part intelligent, rational people.  I guess I was wrong, the site has been down for a few days...calm the fuck down, nothing is perfect.  The staff is working their asses off to get the site back up, it is in their best interest to. 

You're all making drug users look like exactly what the media and LE tries to make us look like: a bunch of dirty, low down, no good fiends.  We should be changing this image by behaving like responsible human beings ffs not a bunch of whining cunts.

Thank you DPR for all you do, I'm sure you're doing all you can do to get the site back up and thank you to the members of this forum who aren't acting like fools.

The ignorance of some people on this forum astonishes me. Yeah you have a right to be upset, but in the end underground website coding let alone website coding is a lot more technical than the refresh button you keep pressing every minute to check if maintenance is over.
I decided to purchase goods prior to the crash and now i have no clue where my money is at, all i know is there is NOTHING i can do but be patient and press my refresh button :)

haven't conversed with him personally but DPR comes across as a genuine people's champion, is humble, understands the frustrations of the people and accepts his responsibility towards his users. if my perception is correct there, i would imagine him being very disappointed with the worshippers - he's making an effort to bring people freedoms, the worshippers are busy trying to suppress other people's opinions... think about it :/

Your next update will come no later than 5 am EST.

I'm a complete retard, please avoid me as I may accidentally light something on fire. When I use the bathroom I have a helper because it's hard to do it by myself. If you see me sticking my tongue out, don't worry, that's just how I say hello. I'd continue this conversation but I have to put the vacuum on my penis and see what it feels like.

Fixed that for you.

Title: Re: update where is the PGP signature this time?
Post by: mcfly on November 13, 2012, 04:54 am
TDP's initial message was PGP signed,  PGP key is enclosed.  The signature on first posting checks out OK, but this subsequent posting is unsigned, so no proof that it is he or a member of the staff.

Some peoples livelihoods are committed to SR and that's understandable, but on the other hand there is no reason to be upset. If you did your homework, you already knew of the risks you were taking and prepared for them when You made your account.

i'm actually more upset with vendors not organizing alternatives for their trusted buyers - if you have had a whole bunch of transactions without a single problem with a buyer, supplying small quantities privately till SR is back up (just use this forum or tormail) is minimal risk. The way i see it, my relationship is with the vendors, not SR, that's just a marketplace that makes it easy and safer to do business. i appreciate its existence but ultimately, i'm not buying my weed from SR, i'm buying it from a vendor.

Your reputation ain't on the line boss, you established that as pimp god of the Universe long before now and the fact you're kind enough to keep these fiends informed with a rolling update is outstanding to say the least. Personally if I were you, I would tell them all to STFU and wait you're doing your job, in order to allow others to do theirs safely and securely in a timely and efficient manner, and yet they have no manners... some of them.

BTW, I hear the lookout's sighted land, it can't be too long before we make landfall at our beloved Port Royal, let's hope there's no stormy seas between here and there because I'm sick of having no food and being forced to eat boiled boot leather hasn't been much fun and I think I'm getting scurvy.

This is anonymous, but you're a hero none the less to us all, superhero like even!

You will be remembered one day with Babbage and Gibson as a giant among smurfs and furthermore, when this War On Some Drugs is over, you will be remembered with Marc Emery and Terrence McKenna in the Psychedelic Movement as liberators of the people and their freedoms to expand (or contract) their consciousness as they see fit. I was serious when I said I'd let you fuck my sister too BTW (not that I'm like Lot offering up his daughters to the Sodomites but you get the point).

You show the world what free markets and libertarianism can truly achieve and whoever thinks otherwise is an intellectual midget of biblical proportions!

This is officially my first post on SR forum... My theory on this whole outage mess is as follows: all the impatient hate mongers on here who mistrust the DPR are the people who are hard pressed on obtaining the opiates and amphetamines. The ones who are patiently waiting and holding up faith in peace are the herbalists. The ones with completely unrelated posts like shit about Ke$ha and porn are the habitual LSD and DMT using psychonauts.

k, wasn't going to reply but you made me laugh so you've earned it; you are not funny or humorous, simply come across as a very bitter person who is not capable of having an adult conversation. what i find most amusing is that when your stupid attempts at humor doesn't work, your assessment of the situation is that people don't get it because they're psychopaths - i'm pretty sure psychopaths have a sense of humor too, maybe different to the average person on the street but its there nevertheless. you just aren't funny ;)

Hey gang,

We're still getting things set up.  Nothing new to report.  Obviously I can't say much, but we are redeploying the entire system and it is taking lots of time to get all of the data properly backed up and where it needs to be, not to mention thoroughly testing the changes we are making to the system that will hopefully give us enough head room to grow multiple times again.

I'm fully aware that Silk Road isn't your only choice and that my reputation is on the line right now.  We are working on all of these issues in parallel and will be slamming the caffeine until we are up and stable.

Your next update will come no later than 5 am EST.

Cheers,
DPR

PS - I hear everyone's hopes and fears.  This is a stressful time for some of us.  I'm taking this opportunity to find a calm center as the situation whirls around me and I keep pressing forward, calm and clear.  This won't be the most challenging situation I'll face I am sure and it is good practice.  Good luck to each of you as you get through this with me :)

Hey Shermit,
I'm not out to troll you but I thought about it.
The "worshipers" aren't really worshipers they're also frustrated, yet patient and respective folks who are exercising their own free speech to counter the others.
I think that's how it's supposed to work.  ;)

i don't quiet see how personal attacks on people voicing their opinion makes one patient and respective? free speech is a funny thing, usually the freedom stops if you're attacking people or inciting others to do so - this is why nazi groups publishing hate propanda are not allowed to do so in many countries with 'free speech'. and before you all start, i'm not calling you nazis, its an example!

I completely agree with this statement.  One cannot say that they treasure free speech when they repeatedly and viciously attack those who have opposing viewpoints.

 When you only want people to speak freely about YOUR opinion and you attempt to censor others through intimidation you are NOT a champion of freedom of speech.  You become an adversary to free speech and you are promoting ignorance by trying to stifle others.  Open your mind my friends.  Do it, even if you can find no reason, just do it for the mental exercise.

This is not directed at anyone in particular,.  I am just thining in general how many have been derogatory and hateful towards those who choose to question authority figures.  Yes the admins would count in this case, and YES you CAN question respectfully and still show gratitude for all they have done!!!  We don't have to sit still and shut our mouths, only saying thank you and please.  We can show respect while questioning what we have been told and discussing with each other what we think may be happening behind the scenes.  We can observe and draw opinions from all the information we have gathered over the past few months or years.  We can have an ADULT discussion while still giving thanks to DPR and all of the admins and Mods.

 It is prudent to consider all possibilities, it is foolish and naive to do nothing.

My theory on this whole outage mess is as follows: all the impatient hate mongers on here who mistrust the DPR are the people who are hard pressed on obtaining the opiates and amphetamines. The ones who are patiently waiting and holding up faith in peace are the herbalists. The ones with completely unrelated posts like shit about Ke$ha and porn are the habitual LSD and DMT using psychonauts.

I don't know, I hope we're not really the minority here. I think that most people are just sitting back and laughing their ass off at this thread, content with the knowledge that the site will be back soon. Obviously the trolls and whiners are going to make the most noise. I'm just trying to have fun with it while I can. It's like when that Tony scam happened. I mean it really sucked, and even I lost $250 (I learned a valuable lesson about finalizing early that day... luckily a fairly cheap lesson), but watching the Rumor Mill slowly unravel into an incoherent, rambling mess almost made it all worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere, DPR has a "fuck shit up" button, just so he can laugh his ass off too. "Let's see, I'll turn this #1 vendor into a scammer. Ah yes, that was a good one. Hmm now I'll shut the site down for a week and see what happens. Haha, of course, they turn into animals. How amusing."

The importance of a signature in this context does tend to be overstated. The only thing it proves is that the person who wrote the message is in possession of the private key. That could be LE.

PGP signatures are certainly useful when your adversaries are run of the mill hackers or scammers, but less so when you have state-level adversaries who can confiscate equipment and apply extreme duress.

That being said, I would hope DPR has a system in place (as I'm sure many others here also do) to destroy his keychain if he thinks he's been compromised.  Obviously if it happened fast enough he wouldn't have had a chance to do that, but if I was DPR, I would be a pretty fucking paranoid guy so hopefully that wouldn't happen.

Boss man, you've been waiting all night and morning, for some of these junkies it's been all day for days.. And when i say who really knows, i'm speaking of fact-based knowledge. Fact is that the crew guy inigo is shocked at this point that the site isn't back up... So for him to be shocked again that it doesn't go up tomorrow wouldn't be particularly shocking. All these users setting the expectations very low may have the effect of being more even more pleasantly surprised when the site does come back up anyway.

Hey Shermit,
I'm not out to troll you but I thought about it.
The "worshipers" aren't really worshipers they're also frustrated, yet patient and respective folks who are exercising their own free speech to counter the others.
I think that's how it's supposed to work.  ;)

i don't quiet see how personal attacks on people voicing their opinion makes one patient and respective? free speech is a funny thing, usually the freedom stops if you're attacking people or inciting others to do so - this is why nazi groups publishing hate propanda are not allowed to do so in many countries with 'free speech'. and before you all start, i'm not calling you nazis, its an example!

I completely agree with this statement.  One cannot say that they treasure free speech when they repeatedly and viciously attack those who have opposing viewpoints.

 When you only want people to speak freely about YOUR opinion and you attempt to censor others through intimidation you are NOT a champion of freedom of speech.  You become an adversary to free speech and you are promoting ignorance by trying to stifle others.  Open your mind my friends.  Do it, even if you can find no reason, just do it for the mental exercise.

This is not directed at anyone in particular,.  I am just thining in general how many have been derogatory and hateful towards those who choose to question authority figures.  Yes the admins would count in this case, and YES you CAN question respectfully and still show gratitude for all they have done!!!  We don't have to sit still and shut our mouths, only saying thank you and please.  We can show respect while questioning what we have been told and discussing with each other what we think may be happening behind the scenes.  We can observe and draw opinions from all the information we have gathered over the past few months or years.  We can have an ADULT discussion while still giving thanks to DPR and all of the admins and Mods.

I think they're cokeheads too, notice how they wouldn't say what Heath Ledger called her about right before he carked it? Probably to tell them the coke wasn't coke at all but some sort of MXE derivative that mixed with his other shit he was on killed him!

Hey Shermit,
I'm not out to troll you but I thought about it.
The "worshipers" aren't really worshipers they're also frustrated, yet patient and respective folks who are exercising their own free speech to counter the others.
I think that's how it's supposed to work.  ;)

i don't quiet see how personal attacks on people voicing their opinion makes one patient and respective? free speech is a funny thing, usually the freedom stops if you're attacking people or inciting others to do so - this is why nazi groups publishing hate propanda are not allowed to do so in many countries with 'free speech'. and before you all start, i'm not calling you nazis, its an example!

I completely agree with this statement.  One cannot say that they treasure free speech when they repeatedly and viciously attack those who have opposing viewpoints.

 When you only want people to speak freely about YOUR opinion and you attempt to censor others through intimidation you are NOT a champion of freedom of speech.  You become an adversary to free speech and you are promoting ignorance by trying to stifle others.  Open your mind my friends.  Do it, even if you can find no reason, just do it for the mental exercise.

This is not directed at anyone in particular,.  I am just thining in general how many have been derogatory and hateful towards those who choose to question authority figures.  Yes the admins would count in this case, and YES you CAN question respectfully and still show gratitude for all they have done!!!  We don't have to sit still and shut our mouths, only saying thank you and please.  We can show respect while questioning what we have been told and discussing with each other what we think may be happening behind the scenes.  We can observe and draw opinions from all the information we have gathered over the past few months or years.  We can have an ADULT discussion while still giving thanks to DPR and all of the admins and Mods.

The importance of a signature in this context does tend to be overstated. The only thing it proves is that the person who wrote the message is in possession of the private key. That could be LE.

PGP signatures are certainly useful when your adversaries are run of the mill hackers or scammers, but less so when you have state-level adversaries who can confiscate equipment and apply extreme duress.

That being said, I would hope DPR has a system in place (as I'm sure many others here also do) to destroy his keychain if he thinks he's been compromised.  Obviously if it happened fast enough he wouldn't have had a chance to do that, but if I was DPR, I would be a pretty fucking paranoid guy so hopefully that wouldn't happen.
This thought is legitimate, understandable, and is not quite attack someone, I agree! But I am convinced that adequate precautions have been taken is that everything will be fine. The first two messages are verified, without error. The third is in the faith!

I'm in shock at the immaturity and hostility of SR users.  Maybe i'm naive, but I thought the users of this site were for the most part intelligent, rational people.  I guess I was wrong, the site has been down for a few days...calm the fuck down, nothing is perfect.  The staff is working their asses off to get the site back up, it is in their best interest to. 

You're all making drug users look like exactly what the media and LE tries to make us look like: a bunch of dirty, low down, no good fiends.  We should be changing this image by behaving like responsible human beings ffs not a bunch of whining cunts.

Thank you DPR for all you do, I'm sure you're doing all you can do to get the site back up and thank you to the members of this forum who aren't acting like fools.

Good one, mate.  :)

Oh yeah, they are total cokeheads.  They sold him/gave him the Oxycontin and ambien that he was on too.  Poor guy, he was having such a hard time sleeping that he took an insane combination of pills.

Oxycontin
Vicodin
Temazapam
Valium
Xanax
Doxylamine (Unisom)

I can't imagine taking even two benzos together with a small dose of hydrocodone....but 3 benzos with unisom and oxy and hydrocodone?!  I have to wonder if maybe he took the temazapam and forgot that he had taken it since it can cause short term memory loss and kept taking other pills?

i would say so, but quietly, so as not to upset the kids, see, no one has told them that this might be a bad sign, and it really upsets them if anyone suggests that anything signed 'DPR' isn't a solid gold turd. perhaps the adults should start a thread where we may quietly discuss our concerns? let the kids play with their Wii's.

Some of us "kids" have been around for a long time. Your post count of 12 is adorable, but it doesn't really make me want to listen to your opinion on the matter. If I had a nickel for every time some paranoid guy claimed that the site was coming to an end because DPR hadn't signed a post, I'd have enough money to buy the site myself. You really think he gives a shit about a signature right now? He's spending time putting the site back together. He's not going to sign a post every goddamned time he checks in to say "still working on it."

you're really going to dismiss someone's valid opinion because of a low post count? you're just another ignorant idiot. nice ego. many of us have made new forum accounts over the last few days just to comment on this mess without fear of repercussion to our accounts on the main site. there's no telling who's who.

No telling who's who.. really? Judging by your username and the nast of your comments here, I think we all know who you are. Be the change you want to see in the world....

Holy shit.  You must have an insane tolerance.  I bet you have withdrawals from hell.  My tolerance was once up to 40mg Oxycodone per day (20 mg 0P 20's 2x a day, sometimes 3) and I tapered off a bit then went cold turkey for a week. I thought I was going to die.  Felt like I was going to have a seizure and I had no balance or coordination. Was also so horribly sick, never have I felt so awful in my life.

What is it like for you when you withdrawls?  That is my biggest fear, having a high tolerance.  I try now to alternate 5 days on oxy) max of 30 mg total a day) with tramadol and neurotin for a week to taper off then back on.

Hopefully we get a new update by 530am EST. (I assume that was the time, cant recall the last update but think it was that time).

Just need my mary jane, and Ill be happy, I dont know how to contact mroiud outside of SR, and I heard is account got taken down recently, so hopefully the admin got my message asking why he was banned...hopefully I can find a new trusted vendor asap, down to my last 14g, and that wont last long.

It seems like an insult  the way you worded it, and people are bnot likely to pay attention to advice, no mtter how good it is when it is given in a negative way.  You could be much more effective toward helping educate people on how to use the quotes properly if you send a quick PM to the person who is making the mistake,or if you make more of a general note to people.

i'm feeling a scam coming onnnnnnnn

how long to keep posting in these forums until people just start cutting losses and moving their accounts?

reminds me of this invite only torrent site i was a member of,  called oink. it got raided and the members didn't really find out all at once and sort of dribbled around the net to find new homes.

i'm actually very concerned for my $$bones i got in escrow currently, i'm worried i'll lose it

1. Dont store them in SR unless you plan to use them that day!
2. Dont spend money you cant afford to lose (Via Scammer, Lost Packages, Or Issues Like This)

As for the scam, again, if they do, they do, and its morally wrong in a sense, however, if you cant afford to lose that, than you should not be spending it....anything can happen with anyone's account at anytime, don't assume the best until you order and have the package in your hand.

like i said my money is in ESCROW, i didn't ever plan on losing it because that is what escrow is for. and yeah, pardon me for being concerned about honest dollars i put into this site, something you may not know about after your last order of 20$ 2C-B or some shit

your right SR is not a privilege, its a paid service and we all pay to use it... therefore I expect, specifically for the vendors that we have an advance warning about the site going down..

its not the 150$ to sign up that I'm talking about, I'm talking about the 4% for the hedging, plus the commission on every sale... If this was a free service and i was acting this way I would deserve your comment... but it is not... we pay and continue to pay and as such we deserve to be treated with respect regarding "down-times"

This is no joke anymore.. this is now going into day 5 with no real info and all kinds of speculation regarding LE, Hackers and DPR himself... we have the right to voice our opinions and not be ridiculed.

I assume there is somewhere between 1-2 million USD stuck on the site and that money belongs to us vendors... after a 5 day lockout shit starts to get real, and it gets there real fast!!!!

you really need to learn to fuck off. let them do work in peace. SR isn't a right it's a privilege you dumb fucker. you need to get laid and relax! and get better weed while you're at it.. m39  :-X :-X


your right SR is not a privilege, its a paid service and we all pay to use it... therefore I expect, specifically for the vendors that we have an advance warning about the site going down..

its not the 150$ to sign up that I'm talking about, I'm talking about the 4% for the hedging, plus the commission on every sale... If this was a free service and i was acting this way I would deserve your comment... but it is not... we pay and continue to pay and as such we deserve to be treated with respect regarding "down-times"

This is no joke anymore.. this is now going into day 5 with no real info and all kinds of speculation regarding LE, Hackers and DPR himself... we have the right to voice our opinions and not be ridiculed.

I assume there is somewhere between 1-2 million USD stuck on the site and that money belongs to us vendors... after a 5 day lockout shit starts to get real, and it gets there real fast!!!!

Fuck your a whiny cunt!!!

Why dont you go to your local Fair Trading/Consumer affairs or whatever they call it in your Country and lodge a complaint haha

Oh that's right its the black market, the goods here are mostly illegal who would of thought eh............

It's not Ebay or Amazon you assume some risk participating here,

Maybe you should retire from here and peddle your pot on a street corner somewhere or better still load a bowl have a smoke and chill the fuck out until everything is sorted.  ;D

I agree that advance notice would be helpful and very much appreciated, but there's no telling if this, or any other downtime is a planned one. Just because things are being upgraded and debugged etc doesn't mean that they were planned to be at this very moment. Though I agree that communication has been less than optimal especially for the first while, I don't believe we can go and rant about our rights. Even though we're paying for this service, it's illegal everywhere, we have no rights in this matter. People need to realise that they take a risk when they put their money into SR, not just because of scammers but simply because SR doesn't have the backing major companies do so stuff like this happens. The staff are just people like you and me working very hard but it's not exactly like they can call the helpdesk. So let's all just chill and see where things go. DPR isn't unreasonable, he refunded me money I lost due to auto-withdrawal function during the last downtime and that was more than a bit of money. I'm sure we'll find a solution to any and all problems that arise due to this downtime. If we weren't resilient we wouldn't be here to begin with.

They can take as long as they want IMO as long as its done right and securely; as in everyone's best interests.  I was on a time crunch for a couple orders to get fulfilled, but i'd rather do business with confidence than do it at all in the case of the site going online without the staff going over any possible breaches with a fine-toothed comb. Thanks DPR.

Dear cunts in this thread...STFU & GTFO.
Go lie and bullshit in off topic or better yet go outside and take a day off.



No vendor or member of SR has ever been told in advance when the server will be going down and don't expect that to change because of a conjured feeling of entitlement. It's actually safer the way it's being done as of now though some prefer the notice all it has ever meant was that the server was being upgraded. So I'll take an educated guess that all the disconnects have left the SR team to upgrade and expand or lose vendors, members and currency from unsatisfied business maintenance and upkeep.

At the moment the site is still down.  No explanation has been given but the owner says they are working on it and will keep reporting back.  They have been updating every few hours and say they hope the site will be back in a few days.

Some people are worried that the site has been infiltrated by the authorities and others are worried that the owner is running a big scam.  There is no evidence for either of these things yet.

Hello DPR and SR staff,
I appreciate the work you have done in establishing this site and the continued work to get it back up. My question is in regards to the auto-withdrawal function established if SR goes down. At what point does this auto-withdrawal trigger? I have checked my wallet and funds have not been dispersed to it and SR is down. Will this auto-withdrawal happen and if so, when? Thanks!

Not a member of staff or anything but in my experience auto-withdrawal doesn't work while the site is offline. There's a chance it might if they let the site go live for a while to test it but with the current situation I wouldn't hope for such a test. Hope that helps a bit.

Everyone understands there have been problems so in regards to finalizes and coins and stuff like that everyone will have to do whats needed when they can.. some peoples attitudes fuckin stink.. you wanna play big boy games then act like big boys not children. I myself have a lot of coins stuck on the site and packages to send and even orders I have made myself but I'm dealing with it and sitting back and relaxing till its all sorted.

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

hi all,

i think there seems to be an element of hysteria here - most people don't seem to rememebr what life was like before SR, TBH we have coins stuck in escrow, orders waiting and coins in wallets too - but is it worth losing any sleep over..?! of course its not!!!

is so much more important that the site is back SAFE and RUNNING WELL AND SECURELY rather than being vulnerable to future problems, i for one salute DPR and the team for all the work they have done and fair trade their pioneering system has facilitated...

As for all the people considering the whole thing is a scam and blah blah blah... look how many transactions are taking place each day, and DPR are taking a healthy commision from each of these - realistically the site is worth so much more running than tearing it down and ripping off peoples wallets..?!?! Also hypothetically if they did that , they would be left with thousands of units of digital currency, the value of which would plummet if SR was down permanently - its a no-brainer..!!!


let these guys do what they do, and take their sweet time doing it - the longer they take the better job we can assume they are doing  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

peace and discordia xxxxx

It is so reasuring to read DPR's words. I keep getting waves of panic when I think about the possibility of SR never returning, I need it for so many reasons. I know it is the same for everyone, loosing this would be really awful.. This has made me realize how important this site is and that I was totally taking it for granted. Thought of it like Ebay and not the risks that are being taken by the staff. Im trying not to get caught up in the drama but when the panic grips me I need to read and talk.

This is my concern, Im sure they are more than aware of this and doing whatever can be done to combat it but if the site came up now suddenly every one will go to it at the same time, then every vendor and buyer will message the support staff to ask them to sort out every single order that was made the couple of days before it went down. The back log will be massive and the amount will grow the longer it is down. I hope they can cope with it.

I agree with the comments made by uniwiz above and many others just chill out a bit and wait to see what happens, Im just here for the reasurance. See it as a holiday from working on SR and try to get all the things you never have time to do, research shit.

Katnip999, nice post that echoes my thoughts about the current situation. I've only traveled the SR for a couple of months but it IS easy to forget what it was like in the "old days". I refer to the past several years with the feds shutting down US based OPs (online pharms), forcing their customers to turn elsewhere which typically involved paying in advance and hoping your goods were eventually shipped and made it through Customs. Reading some of these posts, I'm really thankful any transactions are online and not in person. Reminds me of a favorite quote: “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference” - Mark Twain

Unfortunately guys, I think SR may have finally come to an end.  If I had to speculate, I would guess that LE has infiltrated the site.  I am basing this idea on several assumptions....

1.). Around October 26/27 the price of Bitcoin dropped due to to heavy selling volume.  Also around this same time, one of the biggest bitcoin vendors on SR went offline and stated that he was down due to 'SR problems and network difficulties'.  This vendor continued with this message the week of 11/5 up until the SR outage.
2.). There has been very little communication from the site admins.  I am guessing that there was some type of dead man switch on the site which trashed the server in the event that the admin had been captured.  LE is probably scrambling to rebuild the site right now and put that bogus maintenance screen up to calm everyones fears.

Thoughts?

For all you fags out there sucking the Pirates Cock,     here is Dread Pirate Robert's Post from NOV. 2     thats TEN DAYS AGO....
  "ok, I think we're getting there people.  please answer the poll I just posted in this thread so I can see if what we are doing is working.  Hopefully we are on the right track and everyone will have the access they need.  THANK YOU everyone for your patience and faith.
For those skeptical about the reason for the problems (too many users, not enough resources), there is an explanation for it, but you didn't guess it and I won't be telling  :P "   

TENS DAYS MOTHERFUCKER     TEN DAYS AND THIS SHIT NOT WORKING, AND YOUR PIRATE STILL WONT TELL YOU WHAT IS WRONG, OR WHEN IT WILL BE RUNNING AGAIN........   

THATS  BECAUSE EITHER LAW ENFORCEMENT IS RE-PROGRAMMING EVERYTHING SO THEY CAN BUST YOU, AND IT"S TAKING THEM TIME,     OR     PIRATE-FAG  HAS NO INTENTION OF THIS RUNNING AGAIN, HE"S STOLEN YOUR MONEY AND WAITING FOR THE TRANSFERS TO FINALIZE. ETC.........DUPING YOU INTO DOING NOTHING YET, WHILE HE RIPS YOU OFF!!!!!

THERE IS NO REASON A SMALL SERVER LIKE SILKROAD SHOULD TAKE THIS LONG TO "RESTORE".......NONE!!!   RESTORE THE EXISTING OLD SYSTEM SO IT RUNS WHILE YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY SET UP AND TEST THE NEW SYSTEM OFFLINE......THEN THE SWITCHOVER TAKES A HALF-DAY AT MOST.      "EXPLOSIVE GROWTH" IS NOT THE REASON PEOPLE.....SILK ROAD WAS NEVER VERY BIG TO START WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!      A SERVER THAT CANNOT HANDLE A FEW THOUSAND USERS ONLINE AT ONCE???  AND MAYBE 500 VENDORS ???        RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

IF I KNEW WHO HE WAS, HE / THEY WOULD BE   DEAD PIRATE ROBERTS ALREADY....I HAVE SERIOUS MONEY INVESTED HERE AND HAVE NOW LOST SERIOUS BUSINESS.............................DIE MOTHERFUCKER!!!     

Kill Yourself Immediately.

Well if your that certain then why dont you fuck off from the forum and be glad your so smart that your safe from getting busted yourself instead of warning all us "retards" of whats going to happen? Just sayin ;)

As a long time greyhat who's provides support to Fortune 100 high availability applications, allow me to say SHIT HAPPENS. They may see 24 hours of fuckness out of 24/365.

And that's in an environment where multimillion dollar solutions are proactively leveraged by masters of their trade.

Kudos to the SR team for reacting professionally and with an appropriate demeanor and flow of communication.

LE is probably scrambling to rebuild the site right now and put that bogus maintenance screen up to calm everyones fears.

Where does this idea of LE maintaining the site come from? Generally LE would be happy to say that they've smashed the Road and leave it at that, enjoy all the positive press that would generate.
Also what are the various laws on entrapment? Surely LE running the site and performing 'sales' is illegal/unlawful as they are encouraging people to commit crime.

It's crazy how quickly people pick up these mad ideas and run with them.

Tired of Bullshit i hear ya about possible sabutage...but there is nothing to be gained by being angry, i know i am in a similar place. I will be making a trek-hitchhiking the interstate-350 miles one way- as a female to go to the only doc i could find that will prescribe Suboxone w/o private insurance on short notice. Only a few docs here have the special license and i called about 20 yesterday , they either want BIG$$$ like $1100, or more commonly, they have a waiting list for at least 3 mos to over a year, due to limits on how many ppl they can have on at a time. And then ppl wonder why heroin usage goes up, when they change the oxycontin formulation, and restrict prescription pain medicines. I am in pain, and now sick too, have so much to do and i can't...i feel for anyone in this position. If only doctors were really doctors here in BFE, and compassionate...a bunch of moralfags sucking DEA dick. I am just putting this idea out there, i'll proly get more negative karma for doing anything other than cheerio msg. Anyone ever think the pushback against prescribing narcotics could be BigPharma influenced? Because all the narcotics (hydro and oxycodone) are generic now, and they make their big money off proprietary like SUBOXONE! And of course, they're losing the war against weed...so a new bogey man arises. I'm sure there are lots of variables to plug in, but they have to keep the LE prison-industrial complex going - for that's a HUGE lobby/influence group.. And keeps heroin from Afghanistan mkts up for their little war profiteering there as well. Don't just come back with a bunch of hate, i'm tryna think beyond the face of things. And that could be useful in SR being down so long as well. If it's true it's because of LE, nothing we can do anyway there either? Just wondering what ppl think can be done? This withdrawal crap on top of pain might have me on edge so ... and so what can we do to make the sitch better?

I wonder how much coffee DPR has gone through in the last 5 days.

Anyone who would even think of coffee at a time like this has never been introduces to the sublime alertness of Provigil and Nuvigil.

When SR is up again, you really owe it to yourself to check out my profile and buy some Provigil (Modafinil) or Nuvigil (Armodafinil) from me.

This stuff is so fucking sweet. No high, no jitters, no addictive properties. It simply eliminates all tiredness and need to sleep. You are alert, refreshed and even quick witted and sharp tongued. Plus you are a better lover, get more work done, exercise more and better, eat less and are more handsome (okay I exaggerated on only that last one - everything else is true).

In conclusion, where was I... Oh my Provigil is wearing off. I'd better get some sleep (after 4 days of constant posting to overcome Limited's lead on me...)

P.S. It has one side effect... namely that you use too many ellipses...

Unfortunately guys, I think SR may have finally come to an end.  If I had to speculate, I would guess that LE has infiltrated the site.  I am basing this idea on several assumptions....

1.). Around October 26/27 the price of Bitcoin dropped due to to heavy selling volume.  Also around this same time, one of the biggest bitcoin vendors on SR went offline and stated that he was down due to 'SR problems and network difficulties'.  This vendor continued with this message the week of 11/5 up until the SR outage.
2.). There has been very little communication from the site admins.  I am guessing that there was some type of dead man switch on the site which trashed the server in the event that the admin had been captured.  LE is probably scrambling to rebuild the site right now and put that bogus maintenance screen up to calm everyones fears.

Thoughts?
Nahh, if that was the case, I'm sure someone in the team or someone somehow associated with SR would have a way of coming on here and letting people know its been compromised. No way in the world that LE could recreate SR in a couple of days, if there was a kill switch i'm sure it would of deleted everything, right? Which means all accounts and histories etc.

I also think people overestimate the amount of LE resourced being used here. Exactly how would LE "capture DPR"? It should be virtually impossible if he takes the right precautions, which I am convinced he does. And if they did, why would they want to keep the site running? The day we go in to SR and see a big FBI logo, then we can start worrying. "SEIZED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT" - lol, that will never happen.

Come on stop speculating people...

Is it a wise decision for LE to take Silk Road down? I mean in one sense it is because obviously there is a huge amount of illegal activity and i expect it is an embarrassment that postmen are now drug mules. But young people aren't hanging round the streets waiting to meet violent dealers who could expose them to even more dangerous drugs such as Meth and Crack. I'm aware you can buy these on the Road too but people also have access to a wealth of safety information about these drugs with a few clicks of the mouse, not unreliable misinformation from peers and pressure to indulge which happens on the streets. Most documentaries and websites would put people right off Meth and Crack. For younger people i think Silk Road is much safer but only if they aren't foolish about what they are buying.

My own personal opinion is that even if Silk Road does come to an end the wheels have already been set in motion and an even more robust alternative will spring up. The service is just too good, not just at providing drugs for recreational use but for people like me who want to obtain things for medicinal use.

On a different subject, would an anonymous market place solely for Cannabis be a good idea or not? The reason i ask is because it has undeniable medicinal value and is gradually becoming more accepted around the world. The advantage would also be that it is extremely safe in comparison to many other substances (meth, heroin, crack etc) so the site would likely not be targeted in such a ruthless manner by LE. It could list items by strain for example and have a wiki with strain information. Anyway it's just a thought as i, like many others, are slightly concerned about the longevity of Silk Road. I hope that DPR will get the issues sorted soon and i'm sure he will.

TiredOfThisBullshit,

There's a bunch of CP accessible through Tor, you don't think interpol would be onto that shit ASAP if it were so easy to bust?

As long as you haven't compromised the entire chain of Tor nodes in a connection, you can't trace IP addresses to SR traffic. You also can't intercept information to find out what information is being sent. Basically your only attack vector on locating the server is bandwidth analysis/sloppy information leaking. Once you have the server all they could gather would be shipping addresses sent to vendors in plaintext, bitcoin addresses of vendors and buyers (which MAY OR MAY NOT be anonymous, depends how careful you are with your coins). I'm sure some people order overseas in large enough quantities for some buyers to be of interest to LE, but you'd hope they were smart enough to use PGP.

PGP encryption can be weak depending on the source of random bits/short key. It's implementation, operating system, and OS version dependent as to whether or not your generated key is as secure as you think it is. If for some reason your key was generated on an embedded device without user input, it's probably shit unless it has a hardware RNG or was created by a really clever coder (any two independent clocks make a hardware RNG).

There are many issues that LE may have with SR, including but not limited to:

- Easier availability of drugs
- Tax evasion
- Freedom

What you sell is irrelevant, if it's easier/safer to buy it online than from the LE undercover cop, or make some money and move it quietly, of have the freedom to buy whatever you wish, the Globalists will take offense.

I see what you mean yeh. I doubt tax evasion will bother them at this point as it is happening on a colossal scale by people unconnected with Silk Road dealing in person. Hopefully Silk Road will emphasize how futile the war on drugs really is though, That's another important aspect of it i feel - It stands as a symbol for what people want and their personal freedoms. The sooner governments start looking at drug use as a health issue rather than a moral/criminal one the better i think.

If for some reason your key was generated on an embedded device without user input, it's probably shit unless it has a hardware RNG or was created by a really clever coder (any two independent clocks make a hardware RNG).

bullshit argument. some cp tor sites HAVE been taken down by police. It's not easy but possible. One of the options is not try to locate the server from 'outside' but instead hack it in some way and obtain the server ip from 'inside' (hope that makes any sense).

I have to agree with TiredOfThisBullshit on a few points. It is ridiculous and embarrassing for a site as bit as sr to be down for ten motherfucking days. Vendors (and I'm one of them, yes I use a fake account obviously) pay a crapload of fees and commission to use this service. some have thousands of btc stored on sr and not a single explanation is given. Yeah, unless you consider the lame 'too many new users' bullshit as an excuse. No site goes down for ten days {EDIT:}on and off{/} because it can't handle some new users. + it's not like it was totally obvious silk road was getting bigger. DPR should have used the funds to prepare for shit like this waaay in advance.

Then the LE problem. Yes, we can all just wait and tell each other to chill the fuck out but TiredOfThisBullshit has a valid point. SR is simply the biggest drug trading site on the internet and police would do anything to bust its vendors. It would definitely be possible to get at least a lot closer to them. For example, they could stop the btc tumbler in a non-obvious way, trace the bitcoins until they reach an exchange like mt gox and demand the gox user's personal info. They can because mt gox is weak as shit when it comes to handing over private information (and so are most other major exchanges).

I am not saying this is the case, just that you shouldn't just ignore the possibilities. Of all people I expected SR users to at least be a little paranoid. We might forget it because we use this site like ebay but SR is serious shit. We shit on LE's reputation and laugh while doing it. We ship insane amounts of drugs all over the world while customs are just totally oblivious of all the goods that pass them.

To quote a US senator (from the sr wikipedia page):

Quote
It's a certifiable one-stop shop for illegal drugs that represents the most brazen attempt to peddle drugs online that we have ever seen. It's more brazen than anything else by lightyears.

That's us. Don't forget it.

EDIT: To DPR: Don't be an asshole and at 23:00 give us a GOOD explanation.

If a drug buyer doesn't receive the goods he has paid for he deserves an explanation. If we, the vendors, don't get access to our 'product' deserve one too because we are YOUR clients. Right now you only come up with bullshit reports about how hard you're working. We don't give a hit. We want to know WHAT you're actually working on. Because some serious shit needs to be going down for a site not to function for ten days straight.

If at 11 o'clock you're just posting that you're still working very hard, the site's still down and you don't know when it will be finished, i can't take you seriously.

Other then the possibility massive hardware failure the only remaining issue is hackers.  SR was compromised by hackers most likely after the stored BTC. With out any major blockchain moves they where probably unable to breach SR financial systrm. I am sire they did some damage to the site or stole information as barganing chips.

and Ive adminned a drug forum that tries to keep its operators anonymous, nothing like this.  but even that, making and moving backups, fixing and testing software issues, uploading and downloading site backups or making sure mirror sites work takes tons of time especially if you do all of the transfers through tor or vpn proxies.  they are slow and if something doesn't work, you have to do it over.

Last couple of posts point to LE as an issue or culprit of the downtime. I do not believe this is the case. The events that have transpired are not indicative of LE infiltration. Other then the possibility massive hardware failure the only remaining issue is hackers.  SR was compromised by hackers most likely after the stored BTC. With out any major blockchain moves they where probably unable to breach SR financial systrm. I am sire they did some damage to the site or stole information as barganing chips. DPR is probably trying to close the security breach and or negotiating with whoever compromised the site.

The problem is that no matter the reason we DESERVE the know what the fuck is going on. Hackers, OK, but tell us. LE, ok, tell us, fucked up hardware, how hard is it to just fucking tell.

Like I said earlier: we (vendors) are the clients here and DPR is failing miserably to deliver the product we have paid for (the site) or to at least keep up up to date on its status.

do we really need to know exactly whats going on?think about it the less that is put on this forum the better sure dpr could tell us but then the many LE who scope this site will know jus be happy dpr giving us updates and hasnt went into darkness. 8)

Ok I guess I'm still a noob.. but what exactly is an "LE"?

Yes, they are being very vague and the story isn't adding up.

DPR said that it was a surprise in the first post, but on the website it says scheduled maintenance.

There are a few things that I believe could be happening right now:
1) SR was unexpectedly downed and DPR lied about the maintenance being scheduled for some reason.
2) SR is changing or expanding hosts and DPR doesn't want us to know for anonymity and security reasons.
3) SR was taken over by feds and they are in the process of modifying SR to addresses are logged to them. (not too likely, but there is a chance)
4) SR was downed unexpectedly and they are upgrading the security

1,2 and 4 are correct
1. - DPR has come on and said he has been away for 24hours to find out silk road was down and only he can get it up again. He hasnt lied about maintence, the maintence came up when he got back because it is maintence now even though it was not scheduled.
2. He maybe changing/expanding hosts now so when it comes up it doesnt go down straightaway and yes he cant say to much for security and anonymity reasons, he has to be safe.
4. yep both i reckon

This thread is so full of stupid it hurts!

Please, everyone, STFU and let the SR Staff and DPR do their job so hopefully our awesome drug paradise can come back!

PS - All you junkies crying like children cause your fix will take longer, go get hookups IRL for hell's sake! How the fuck did you get into drugs in the first place? If it was on SR you found your DOC that you're now addicted to than you deserve all the withdrawals you're suffering right now...

I doubt it. I would guess that it takes an average of two weeks for a bitcoin to come into SR in a buyers hands and leave in a sellers hand.

If $1m in drug sales are made in the two weeks, then he would get $1m, but he could wait and keep it running and get only $100k of that.

Basically, DPR has the choice between $1m and no continuous income or $200k/mo

[Provigil/Nuvigil] is so fucking sweet. No high, no jitters, no addictive properties.
I was prescribed Provigil (modafinil) for my narcolepsy. It cracked me out, like having had several large cups of coffee (with quad shots of espresso, yum). Very VERY bad jitters, mild nausea, and it left me in a talkative and scatterbrained state. It also put me in a foul mood. It has more than once been the result of me talking too much and getting myself in trouble.

The only thing that has truly worked for me is d-amphetamine. It is euphoric, but it has a rational high and no jitters. At least, for me. And it's been studied much more than modafinil...

Just a reminder to you people requesting that your SR wallet balances be sent to emergency addresses... seeing that high volume of BTC activity would be a red flag for any LE following the events here, and it would help them trace SR users. It would be a huge security risk.

Last couple of posts point to LE as an issue or culprit of the downtime. I do not believe this is the case. The events that have transpired are not indicative of LE infiltration. Other then the possibility massive hardware failure the only remaining issue is hackers.  SR was compromised by hackers most likely after the stored BTC. With out any major blockchain moves they where probably unable to breach SR financial systrm. I am sire they did some damage to the site or stole information as barganing chips. DPR is probably trying to close the security breach and or negotiating with whoever compromised the site.

I bet it's even more mundane than that. SR is a custom software platform. The advantage compared to an out-of-the-box CMS solution like Drupal is that you don't have to spend time reading and understanding someone else's code, and removing unnecessary "features" that are potential security threats. The disadvantage is that you don't have a large team of coders and thousands of beta testers. So it appears the SR platform has some critical bugs that greatly reduce performance, and now a tiny team (possibly only DPR) has to fix everything while the rabble goes all apeshit with conspiracy theories.

For some reason most of you are unable to realize the very nature of this site is anonymity.  Do you really think he's going to disclose what's happeend, what bugs he's fixing, etc.  That identifying information, which compromises security.  He's providing you with updates explaining hey, It'll be up soon be patient, Anything else is truely uncessary.  I've been here for over a yr, and a little SR downtime every so often is not uncommon so seriously take a chill pill.

so, I hate to be the conspiracy theorist as I'm usually not around here, but following some known SR transactions through blockchain.info I see large amounts of funds (12,000+ BTC) being moved around as of even just a few minutes ago from what must be a SR holdings address (had 275,000 BTC come through it).
DPR, why are you moving funds around when I would assume everything should remain frozen?

I would have to disagree that if LE took the site down that they'd have some big announcement on Google news or something like that.  In fact, I would expect them to milk the information from behind the scenes for as long as possible versus tipping everyone off that it has been busted.

One thing that can't be denied is that the Bitcoin got hammered down around Oct 26/27 and that event coincided with one of the main BTC vendors on SR going down WELL BEFORE the SR outage.  Possibly someone on the inside got tipped off that a bust was coming and then sold off their coins.

Another reason that I believe you have not heard very much information from DPR or the site admins is that if LE is actually in control of the site, they do not want to tip people off by posting long drawn out posts which may sound or appear to be out of character or different in writing style from the real DPR. 

As far as those that think the site is well protected and that LE would never be able to find out where the server was located, I would have to disagree with that also.  Even though the IP may be hidden, I am fairly confident that you could flood the site with traffic at non peak times and then monitor the corresponding traffic through the major networks to see where the packets went. 

I hope I am wrong.

DPR, why are you moving funds around when I would assume everything should remain frozen?

Yes, that's the good question, there were several transactions of about 12.000 BTC which is very large unusual amount.

so, I hate to be the conspiracy theorist as I'm usually not around here, but following some known SR transactions through blockchain.info I see large amounts of funds (12,000+ BTC) being moved around as of even just a few minutes ago from what must be a SR holdings address (had 275,000 BTC come through it).
DPR, why are you moving funds around when I would assume everything should remain frozen?

First, if you are looking for cancer, you will find cancer. You're looking for fraud, so you see fraud. You have no idea what these accounts are, these juxtapositions are not helping yourself  nor any of your peers.

Here is a plausible expanation:

People are buying and selling BTC. If you recall, a couple weeks ago BTC got slammed. For every seller, there has to be a buyer. These buyers maybe dumping off with their $1->$3 USD profit / BTC.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

If DPR got compromised and it is the LE writing those messages (means they also coerced him/her sign the message using GPG or give up the private keys... is this likely?)

I analyzed transactions further... amount of about 12000 BTC was jumping about 10 times from wallet to wallet until I came to wallet where there were many smaller amounts from multiple wallets coming into it, but that happened today, so I doubt they are SR transactions... it's something else, don't know what..

Seriously, however, this is not boding well for the crowd.  People are pointing to "evidence" that this is nothing to worry about.  What kind of evidence would there be if there is something bigger to worry about?

I'm sure this has been covered, but has anyone confirmed that the recent messages were in fact signed by dpr? I haven't been reading every single post like some of you are, but last i heard there was some issue with his sig on at least one post since Sr went down.  What's the status of that? Are we absolutely 100% sure that the person posting as dpr has access to his correct PGP key?

You realize that if you are looking for evidence of a crime, you view everything that is potentially damaging as damning evidence. Step back and be objective. There is more than one site that uses BTC, there are several laundering services that easily move 20K+ btc daily.

No, you can check my posting history here... been on here for a while and spent somewhere around $11k on SR with another $2k that I just added to my account to make another large purchase right before the site went down. I've never even visited BMR and don't intend to.
I'm not accusing DPR of anything, but it is curious that just a step from transactions that I know were to SR show activity right now. And by right now I mean literally minutes ago. Look for yourself if you've recently added funds to SR...
I would think it's just a mixing algorithm, except it doesn't seem to be mixing, just moving - and these were funds that sat in a big wallet for a long time and just started moving today. Why?

Another thing that concerns me is that when you load the SR page and then click on the logo it takes you to a broken link page which shows that the server is running Ubuntu.  If you are so concerned about security, why are you broadcasting that the server is running Ubuntu?  That right there seems like classic LE ignorance. OR, did the admins actually edit the config files so that it erroneously shows Ubuntu as a disinformation technique?  Hmmm...

I hope you are wrong too. 

To all the people who are afraid that rational, respectful comments like this will drive DPR to decide not to host SR for us any longer....you guys are acting like junkies too, so pot meet kettle.  Are you saying that you think DPR is so fickle and egotistical that he can't handle people making harmless conjectures which in no way attack his character? Even the nasty comments, I can't believe you people think that he would let those be the only deciding factor for his pet project.

Come on people, you are ass kissing because you are afraid your site will be shut down.  Let's call a spade a spade.  None of us want SR to be shut down.  We are all here for the drugs.  Quit trying to make yourself out to be above everyone else just because you are afraid to breathe too loud in the presence of the admins.  Quit calling people junkies when it is obvious that you would fall in that category too.  Quit putting on airs because you smoke pot or take shrooms. I have met plenty of people living dead end "junkie" lives who "just smoke weed".  I have also met people with families and careers who do cocaine or take lots of pain pills.  It doesn't necessarily follow that pot=better.

I think DPR is way too open minded, rational and sane to let a few nasty comments and a bunch of well thought out theories change his mind about his life's work.  Come on now, use your brains. You can't really mean what you are saying.

It was doing that earlier on the 404, personally I don't think saying its running on Ubuntu is giving too much away, but agree its better not to say anything.

Regardless SR website is now showing the SR logo and message:

I'm sure before SR you always found a way to find your meds/drugs..so if you are really in need you can still find a way today.

Last couple of posts point to LE as an issue or culprit of the downtime. I do not believe this is the case. The events that have transpired are not indicative of LE infiltration. Other then the possibility massive hardware failure the only remaining issue is hackers.  SR was compromised by hackers most likely after the stored BTC. With out any major blockchain moves they where probably unable to breach SR financial systrm. I am sire they did some damage to the site or stole information as barganing chips. DPR is probably trying to close the security breach and or negotiating with whoever compromised the site.

The problem is that no matter the reason we DESERVE the know what the fuck is going on. Hackers, OK, but tell us. LE, ok, tell us, fucked up hardware, how hard is it to just fucking tell.

Like I said earlier: we (vendors) are the clients here and DPR is failing miserably to deliver the product we have paid for (the site) or to at least keep up up to date on its status.

Yes, they are being very vague and the story isn't adding up.

DPR said that it was a surprise in the first post, but on the website it says scheduled maintenance.

There are a few things that I believe could be happening right now:
1) SR was unexpectedly downed and DPR lied about the maintenance being scheduled for some reason.
2) SR is changing or expanding hosts and DPR doesn't want us to know for anonymity and security reasons.
3) SR was taken over by feds and they are in the process of modifying SR to addresses are logged to them. (not too likely, but there is a chance)
4) SR was downed unexpectedly and they are upgrading the security

There is option 5 as well (which I hope is not true)
5) DPR pulled off a pirateat40

I doubt it. I would guess that it takes an average of two weeks for a bitcoin to come into SR in a buyers hands and leave in a sellers hand.

If $1m in drug sales are made in the two weeks, then he would get $1m, but he could wait and keep it running and get only $100k of that.

Basically, DPR has the choice between $1m and no continuous income or $200k/mo

As long as we're throwing around theories...This doesn't take into account the amount of stuck coin in every buyer/vendor account in the system when the site went down. That figure might be a litte higher than $1m. Who knows how many users keep that as their main wallet because of the added security it offers. The same random key system that launders your btc to keep your transactions anonymous is just how he's cashing out every account to hide the huge transactions in the blockchain. The emergency backup wallet address system leads to his gox accounts.If he started cashing out 5 or 6 days ago, that money is long gone and certainly would explain the 40 cent dip over the weekend. With more to come immediately once the rest of the rubes on here realize it's never coming back. Maybe he is pirateat40. In that case i'd agree that he is the true genius you asshole lickers say he is.
Nobody expected this site to last forever.
dp rob saw now to be the perfect time to get out


You're all wrong. The server is still under my control. DPR has until 22UTC to meet my demands or the db will be leaked.

What does OP updated mean?  Not to be a dick, just curious.


OP = Original Post

Are you new to the Internet? :D

It's more commonly know as 'Orginal Poster' ...but whatever

Not true, it depends om the context. DPR said "check OP", check original post makes more sense in this context. And who the hell says "but whatever" anyway? :D

Oh right, kids.

Not familiar with the word 'om'
I know it depends on the context! I never said original poster was the only meaning.
And to repeat something that has been pointed out a few posts above suggests that you need to closely read previous posts my friend.

-1. Please stop cunting up threads with this type bullshit.  Last thing people want to read about is you arguing about semantics because you got butthurt about someone correcting you.

Sorry for being an asshole, but whatever. Wading thru pages of bullshit to find something relevant is annoying as fuck.


Unfortunately guys, I think SR may have finally come to an end.  If I had to speculate, I would guess that LE has infiltrated the site.  I am basing this idea on several assumptions....

1.). Around October 26/27 the price of Bitcoin dropped due to to heavy selling volume.  Also around this same time, one of the biggest bitcoin vendors on SR went offline and stated that he was down due to 'SR problems and network difficulties'.  This vendor continued with this message the week of 11/5 up until the SR outage.
2.). There has been very little communication from the site admins.  I am guessing that there was some type of dead man switch on the site which trashed the server in the event that the admin had been captured.  LE is probably scrambling to rebuild the site right now and put that bogus maintenance screen up to calm everyones fears.

Thoughts?
Nahh, if that was the case, I'm sure someone in the team or someone somehow associated with SR would have a way of coming on here and letting people know its been compromised. No way in the world that LE could recreate SR in a couple of days, if there was a kill switch i'm sure it would of deleted everything, right? Which means all accounts and histories etc.

I also think people overestimate the amount of LE resourced being used here. Exactly how would LE "capture DPR"? It should be virtually impossible if he takes the right precautions, which I am convinced he does. And if they did, why would they want to keep the site running? The day we go in to SR and see a big FBI logo, then we can start worrying. "SEIZED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT" - lol, that will never happen.

Come on stop speculating people...

Yes.  Finally some calm, rational thinking.


I don't see how they could catch vendors at this point...c'mon  they're using Tor and PGP? maybe i'm missing something here?

There is no real anonymity or security on the internet.....go search google when your bored you'll find page after page of how to crack Tor, how PGP isn't secure,  blah blah blah........it's NOT EASY.....but if the resourses are allocated to , for instance, the CIA or FBI to crack this?   It's over!! 
Security is just a matter of levels...the higher level you get, the MORE difficult to crack....usually time and resources are not worth it..but to bust SILKROAD??    Thats a big peacock feather in the hat of the big boss who's team cracks it!!!     Don't think for a minute they can't.....because they can!!!   

You remind me of that snivelling little troll who kept creating all those sock puppet accounts during the Tony76 fiasco.  The one who kept getting each new account banned...  Your writing style is virtually identical.  I don't think you're the same person, because you're not quite as annoying, but you're pretty fucking close.

How about just waiting to see what happens, and in the mean time, chilling the fuck out?

Last couple of posts point to LE as an issue or culprit of the downtime. I do not believe this is the case. The events that have transpired are not indicative of LE infiltration. Other then the possibility massive hardware failure the only remaining issue is hackers.  SR was compromised by hackers most likely after the stored BTC. With out any major blockchain moves they where probably unable to breach SR financial systrm. I am sire they did some damage to the site or stole information as barganing chips. DPR is probably trying to close the security breach and or negotiating with whoever compromised the site.

The problem is that no matter the reason we DESERVE the know what the fuck is going on. Hackers, OK, but tell us. LE, ok, tell us, fucked up hardware, how hard is it to just fucking tell.

Like I said earlier: we (vendors) are the clients here and DPR is failing miserably to deliver the product we have paid for (the site) or to at least keep up up to date on its status.

Yes, they are being very vague and the story isn't adding up.

DPR said that it was a surprise in the first post, but on the website it says scheduled maintenance.

There are a few things that I believe could be happening right now:
1) SR was unexpectedly downed and DPR lied about the maintenance being scheduled for some reason.
2) SR is changing or expanding hosts and DPR doesn't want us to know for anonymity and security reasons.
3) SR was taken over by feds and they are in the process of modifying SR to addresses are logged to them. (not too likely, but there is a chance)
4) SR was downed unexpectedly and they are upgrading the security

There is option 5 as well (which I hope is not true)
5) DPR pulled off a pirateat40

I doubt it. I would guess that it takes an average of two weeks for a bitcoin to come into SR in a buyers hands and leave in a sellers hand.

If $1m in drug sales are made in the two weeks, then he would get $1m, but he could wait and keep it running and get only $100k of that.

Basically, DPR has the choice between $1m and no continuous income or $200k/mo

As long as we're throwing around theories...This doesn't take into account the amount of stuck coin in every buyer/vendor account in the system when the site went down. That figure might be a litte higher than $1m. Who knows how many users keep that as their main wallet because of the added security it offers. The same random key system that launders your btc to keep your transactions anonymous is just how he's cashing out every account to hide the huge transactions in the blockchain. The emergency backup wallet address system leads to his gox accounts.If he started cashing out 5 or 6 days ago, that money is long gone and certainly would explain the 40 cent dip over the weekend. With more to come immediately once the rest of the rubes on here realize it's never coming back. Maybe he is pirateat40. In that case i'd agree that he is the true genius you asshole lickers say he is.
Nobody expected this site to last forever.
dp rob saw now to be the perfect time to get out


You're all wrong. The server is still under my control. DPR has until 22UTC to meet my demands or the db will be leaked.
Roberts is crossed no doubt. Let's see how he handles this.
You junkies amuse me.

Haha, kid please.

Post by: QualityMeds on November 13, 2012, 10:06 pm
First, for all my customers (I'm a vendor on SR by the same name, QualityMeds), as soon as SR is back up, all orders will be shipped promptly. I don't see it taking more than one or two days to get all the pending orders shipped. Also, I still offer free samples of everything I sell, read my profile/signature at the end of my post here for my items. Message me with your name/shipping address and what samples you want to try out.

About this situation: I think it's so funny how people overreact to these down times. I've been a vendor on other sites and forums for many years. I would go away for a few days on business and would return to people posting every conspiracy theory in the book, from LE busting me to me running away with all their money. People cry scammer so easily. I don't blame them though, nearly everyone who cries scammer is someone who has been scammed in the past. It's too bad, if it weren't for all those filthy scammers, we wouldn't have anything to worry about. They ruin it for the rest of us honest vendors.

Yes, it is true that sometimes it is a scam and the seller/vendor will run away with your money. But one thing I've noticed, and this holds true 95% of the time - when you've really been scammed, all communication ceases. The fact that DPR is updating us every 5 hours is the best sign. If he wanted to run away with all of our money then he wouldn't be wasting his time updating us on the status of the site. In fact, after he emptied all the bitcoin into his own wallet, he would have probably just shut it all down and put the server offline, to cut any ties. He definitely would not be wasting his time updating us on the status, he'd be on some tropical island sipping margaritas on a beach probably his own island as I'm sure he has the money to afford that LOL.

The fact is that SR makes a hell of a lot more money for DPR by being up. What is the point in scamming everyone? He sounds like a standup guy in my opinion, and besides the money he makes, what he's doing is more important than money. It is a freedom to put in your body what you choose, one step closer to defeating this insane war on drugs, which has cost more lives than it has saved and has cost the taxpayers in the United States a shit-ton of money by filling up our jails with low-level drug dealers or just users, creating ex-cons who don't have a chance to reintegrate into society when they get out of jail because of the ex-con stigma, essentially ruining their lives. 50 years from now, we'll look at this the same way we look at the freedom of speech, and wonder how crazy it was when the governments would put people in jail for smoking weed or sniffing a few lines of coke, or selling a couple ounces of pot. Thank god that Colorado and Washington have set the first precedents and have made marijuana completely legal for recreational use by those 21 or over, giving it the same status as alcohol. It's about time!

Thanks DPR for all you are doing. I'm sure you and your team are doing the best you can to bring SR back up and running. It's worth the wait to get it running faster and smoother.

So the 12,000 BTC originateing from SR wallet addresses that we've seen being shuffled around the blockchain is roughly the earlier estimate of all SR transactions left in limbo since the site was down.

Coincidence? I think not.

This pretty much confirms that dp rob sold SR. All he's doing now is clearing out the remaining BTC in everyone's accounts and getting the new ownership up to speed.

No properly signed messages, only vague updates about when the next update will be. Does this sound like the real DPR to you?

Maybe real DPR has sold SR few months ago. Check this out:

 "What troubles especially paranoid Silk Road is that DPR is usually a voluble presence on board. In honor of 4/20, he held a massive drug sale on Silk Road, which was advertised as including a giveaway with a grand prize of "a trip for two with all the trimmings to paradise, all expenses included." But he's only posted on Silk Road forums three times since May 6th.
"Does anyone else find it strange that DPR's post count dropped significantly?" asked a user today. "I never payed much attention to it before until a friend mentioned that some major MDMA distributors from the NW USA heard about the operators of [Silk Road] getting caught. I brushed it off as a rumor until I looked through DPR's post count and now I'm a bit concerned. I know this is pure speculation as I have no evidence or reliable source, It just seems like something worthy of discussing." "

Of course it is just a kind of speculation. But perhaps we are witnessing the end of the Silk Road. But the idea will not die. I can only quote the real DPR: "The die have been cast [sic] and now we will see how they land. We will be diverting even more effort into countering their attacks and making the site as resilient as possible, which means we may not be as responsive to messages for a while. I'm sure this news will scare some off, but should we win the fight, a new era will be born. Even if we lose, the genie is out of the bottle and they are fighting a losing War already."

I see. So it's the new ownership ripping us off. dread pussy roberts is long gone

I don't like your user name. You should change it.

If what you allege is actually what's going on, then it's your own fault for leaving Bitcoins in your SR wallet like that. You should only keep it in SR for when you are transferring payments.

But, of course, you're wrong, DPR is not pulling a burn. Your speculation is worse than U.S. Republicans right now. Maybe it's contagious.

Alright, so I hope I'm not being naive in my quick analysis here. Let's just think about law enforcement taking over.

So we have three privacy mechanisms (granted, one of which some users don't always use...):
PGP
TOR
Bitcoin

Using PGP, there is virtually no way for LE to get your information unless the vendor is compromised. Even so, because it is tor, they have almost no way of getting the information about the actual user, provided they are browsing carefully with no scripts enabled.

Anyways, say they get this address. They can't do anything immediately. It is not illegal for drugs to be ordered to your address. Besides being backed by the law, this also makes sense...  I could otherwise send drugs to a person I detest in order to get them arrested. The only way you can be arrested from this action is if upon arrival you either sign for the package OR it is found to be open (from a raid) without your calling the police. If you leave it unopened for ~8 hours afterwards, you are probably safe for the second part. Even so, this could only really happen if you didn't use PGP... If the vendor is compromised, they can't still send drugs your way just to get you arrested. I mean, LE can do some stupid shit, but that is clearly illegal.

Well, not a thorough analysis, but I think I covered the major points.

TL;DR Stfu you guys, we're fine.

* 12,000 BTC moving on blockchain from SR wallets is a valid question/concern.

I'm surprised no one has brought up a great reason why the 12,000 BTC (about $120,000USD) thing is bunk. It's very simple- That's a laughably small number of BTC compared to the commission made off the whole site's transactions in just one month.

Even JUST using the USA domestic cannabis category for some simple calculations.... I estimate the top vendors move about $2000-5000 of product in a given week based on feedback frequency and checking the item descriptions for those feedback. NCK, Rook, Tweetb and many others crush $2000 a week bare minimum.. So that's an easy $10,000 a week for 5 top vendors, $40,000 in a month. There's dozens more active vendors in just Cannabis alone, I would say even $200,000 from all domestic cannabis vendors in a month is a very VERY low number. Commission is somewhere in between 6-10%, and 10% off that $200k is $20,000 in a month for commission.

Then factor in that there's dozens of drug/other categories and vendors all over the world, custom and private listings, and people that don't leave feedback... that $20,000 from cannabis seems very small. Taking 12k BTC lump sum against a constant and cumulative commission rate like that is just financially retarded.

Taking 120k BTC lump sum against a constant and cumulative commission rate like that is just financially retarded.

Basically what I was going to say. There are probably some who are fearing the worst with these rumors of DPR taking all the BC's. Hence they expect the value of the coins to drop when there is a large volume of sales, so they are going to sell before they loose the value of the coins they have. Yet another feasable explanation.

This is getting ridiculous....I mean, scheduled maintenance, closing in on almost a week,  that was never announced to any buyers or sellers and now we are all in a cluster fudge. I paid for express delivery too and because vendor didn't get my address before site went down (but he did put it in transit) I am now stuck without my shiet and have had to spent extra on shipping for something I really needed today. The worst part is the damn site won't go back up for him to get the damn address. And he hasn't logged onto forums since the 6th. *sigh* Weren't we suppose to get an update by now? I mean at least tell us to stop hammering the site and some type of realistic ETA. /end vent.

Ive been refreshing the SR page like every few min since like friday now, and even after changing identity in Vidalia, it seems the SR page is loading much faster now, like as of the last hour(s) or so.  maybe just lucky connections or something,  but it really seems faster to me, even faster than the forums atm.. hopeful =D

I wonder if when the site reopens "for vendors at first" to take care of business, might buyers still have access to browsing or messaging even if they can't make orders? With the change in expected order time-frames some of us might hope to catch them in time to cancel or modify existing arrangements with vendors before they send something out? That'd be nice.

If you read DPRs original post he says the site went down while he was away for 24 hours. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a 'scheduled maintenance' that is just the default message when people try the mainsite.

Look...I'm officially calling out the asshole who calls themselves, "iHateNiggers:"

If this asshole were to meet me in person on a street corner anywhere in the entire United States of America (including Alaska and Hawaii), would this idiot have the courage to call me a "nigger" to my fucking face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I THINK NOT.    The internet (whether its clearnet or darknet) is anonymous.   So, I say, HELL THE FUCK NO!!!  It's because, this idiot is "all hat and now cattle."  That's right, this is a term out of the great American state of Texas.

Look, as a "nigger" in this idiot's book, here's how I see what's going on here:

1) DPR wants everybody on his website to be safe.   If we are all safe then he and his crew are safe.  End of story!!!!! 

2) When there's high demand for anything (including the fucking Internets);  the supplier of that demand much tread carefully.   What's the use of higher demand if suppliers can't safely supply the demand. 

3)  There are so many veterans of what SR was in the past and if they can keep the faith, then I can.   

4)  Silk Road is just not a site that has been overtaken by LE.   LE want their presence to be known.   Even if they are behind the scenes collecting evidence in which they bring somebody down.   Ultimately, they want their final product to be something that everybody can see far and wide (even on the internets).    Somebody else on these forums mentioned "Megaupload."   Well, guess what, this is a good example.   Here's another example I can point at, "Isohunt."    This site was not closed down by the authorities, but they settled in court and it's clear that they did that.   

However, here's where I disagree with DPR:

4) Look baby, I know you are trying to be safe, but I just received two orders I managed to make right before SR went down completely.   These orders are in escrow and I really, really, really wish I could finalize these orders.    I got these orders safe and sound, and I wish pay these vendors as they deserve.   One vendor has just sent me more of what may become my favorite weed strain of all time....Atomic Northern Lights!!!!   And another vendor was able to send me a strain of weed that I've been anxious to try because I was a former Girl Scout...that's right Girl Scout Cookies!  That's right, "iHateNiggers," this nigger was actually a Girl Scout!!!!  Suck on my swollen clit and quivering pussyhole, you asshole!!!!

5) This Mises (or Austrian Economics) BS just doesn't work.   However, I'm willing to debate DPR in another forum on this issue.   I'm still patient with DPR because they are still are great.  They have shifted the mainstream paradigm despite themselves.  And for that, I am thankful and grateful. 

That's enough out of me.  I have bitcoins ready to spend on whatever SR presents to me.   Yet, I still want to be safe.   And despite everything I've done up to this point, I'm still safe.   And I thank DPR for that.

I'm surprised no one has brought up a great reason why the 12,000 BTC (about $120,000USD) thing is bunk. It's very simple- That's a laughably small number of BTC compared to the commission made off the whole site's transactions in just one month.

Even JUST using the USA domestic cannabis category for some simple calculations.... I estimate the top vendors move about $2000-5000 of product in a given week based on feedback frequency and checking the item descriptions for those feedback. NCK, Rook, Tweetb and many others crush $2000 a week bare minimum.. So that's an easy $10,000 a week for 5 top vendors, $40,000 in a month. There's dozens more active vendors in just Cannabis alone, I would say even $200,000 from all domestic cannabis vendors in a month is a very VERY low number. Commission is somewhere in between 6-10%, and 10% off that $200k is $20,000 in a month for commission.

Then factor in that there's dozens of drug/other categories and vendors all over the world, custom and private listings, and people that don't leave feedback... that $20,000 from cannabis seems very small. Taking 12k BTC lump sum against a constant and cumulative commission rate like that is just financially retarded.

edit- 120k to 12k BTC in the last line.

Yeah I was gonna interject, but its pointless trying to convince people here lol.

I ALONE have 1675BTC in limbo there .. and I am not even that large of a vendor. All the MOM, NL MDMA, Coke guys etc ... There is likely in the neighborhood of 100000BTC on the site, not 12000 lol

so, I hate to be the conspiracy theorist as I'm usually not around here, but following some known SR transactions through blockchain.info I see large amounts of funds (12,000+ BTC) being moved around as of even just a few minutes ago from what must be a SR holdings address (had 275,000 BTC come through it).
DPR, why are you moving funds around when I would assume everything should remain frozen?

The bitcoins that I sent to a fresh bitcoin address on SR right before the site went down still remains at that address unspent.

It's kinda uncool to start a rumor like this without some real evidence.

DPRs post he'll give us update tomorrow sometime so not really sure it's coming up tonight....Geez....After waiting 2 weeks for Dwolla to verify me, then another fucking month for god daaaamn mt.gox, Finally made a purchase and now the damn SR site is down and vendor probably doesn't have my address since it went down like a day after he posted it in transit. Since it still hasn't arrived, I am assuming the guy marked it as "In Transit" started packing it later in the day to ship it and tried to log in to get my address at which point, it was down.

A massive block of well-written and delightfully crass text.

You hit on pretty much everything that's important here, and made me lol a few times too. Well done! I was already enjoying the post but when you mentioned being in the Girl Scouts, I immediately started reading your post with Cindy McPhearson's voice from The Boondocks. She's a gangster girl scout that teams up with Riley to sell fundraiser candy and keep the profits, voiced by the legendary Tara Strong.

Sidenote: IHN and many accounts from the past few days are just bored/asshole trolls passing the time through their withdrawls. He doesn't get a reply despite directly quoting me.

Yeah I was gonna interject, but its pointless trying to convince people here lol.

I ALONE have 1675BTC in limbo there .. and I am not even that large of a vendor. All the MOM, NL MDMA, Coke guys etc ... There is likely in the neighborhood of 100000BTC on the site, not 12000 lol

Yeah, I know it's useless too, but I was bored and felt like raising my post count anyway, lol. Idiots are historically the loudest complainers so maybe it clicked for some of the smart, quiet lurkers.

Oh yeah, easily several hundreds of thousands of BTC going in and out every month. I'm guessing that 12,000 might be the starting of the tumbler, as we users generally have no idea how that works.

In "ihateNiggers'" book, I'm would clearly be called a nigger, but they didn't know that when they came up with "ihateNiggers" and "ihateNiggers2," so what gives?   

Either way, I suspect "ihateNiggers" is a troll.   The fact that so many people on this forum have ignore them is a testament to the fact that there's hope for the human race after all.

Doesn't SR have a built in tumbler? Could that account for your "missing" coins?

Has nobody ever bothered to look at their SR address in the block chain? Yeah, within hours of transferring coins to it, they get moved into the tumbler. Meanwhile, your account is credited with whatever you transferred to it -- which is in a separate database -- while in the block chain your SR address has a final balance of 0.


Okay, bitinstant shows *everything* as zero, so that's not really a great way to tell all the time

Yo NCK! Nice to see you kicking here in the forums. If you're around and read this, I was wondering if you'd be comfortable saying how much you gross in sales for an average week? It's fine if you don't want to, but I'm betting you're grossing somewhere in the range of $5000-10k a week. Just bored and crunching numbers in a previous post. :]


Pretty close to $000 this week!

It is a freedom to put in your body what you choose, one step closer to defeating this insane war on drugs, which has cost more lives than it has saved and has cost the taxpayers in the United States a shit-ton of money by filling up our jails with low-level drug dealers or just users, creating ex-cons who don't have a chance to reintegrate into society when they get out of jail because of the ex-con stigma, essentially ruining their lives. 50 years from now, we'll look at this the same way we look at the freedom of speech, and wonder how crazy it was when the governments would put people!e in jail for smoking weed or sniffing a few lines of coke, or selling a couple ounces of pot.

Totally agree on that. Here in the Netherlands you can roll and smoke a ten inch joint at a public place in front of a police officer - me and my friends seriously done that multiple times back in the days when we where kids. Don't get me wrong I'm not an advocate for kids using drugs! In the coffeshops here you definitely heard about they are really strict in not selling to kids under eighteen. But there's no way of stopping kids from getting there dope that's impossible in my opinion.. The only thing we can do about that is through prevention campaigns witch could be paid out of tax profits from drug sales if we would actually regulate drugs..

At a big dance party in case someone is careless and one holds xtc pills in his pocked instead of his boxer shorts and the security finds it you have to hand them in and they just let you join the party (in most cases). If you hold more than ten pills they consider you as a dealer and its possible that they make a case / process verbal of it witch could eventually result in a money penalty or at worst a work punishment. This means you have to clean the streets, washing dishes in a nursing home or guide traffic on a big event or something. Correct me if I'm wrong but that 'work punishment' is something that not exists in the States isn't it? If you are sentenced in this way (witch happened to me actually) you're not suffering much stigma here and you're still able to go to collage and acquire a proper job. We don't put people in jail and fucking there life's up for.. nothing. There are many test centers here where you can have your drugs tested so there's less contaminated drugs in circulation and if there is the institute that monitors the marked here send out warnings. If we look at the facts there are less hard drug users here, less problematic drug users and less drug related deaths.....

Think and hope SR will be back soon.. I also lost quite a bit of money if it isn't but it isn't the end of the world if DPR or LE fucked us. Soon there will be better alternatives than the BMR don't ya think?

you're the one who brought it up. and your argument doesn't make sense while you're also using tor.
would you like to take this to clearnet?

You're the one using a term as part of your username that you know is offensive while at the same time using it with a browser that obscures your identity and you have the nerve to challenge me?

You don't have the courage to take this to the clearnet.  My experience of surfing the internet after 15 long years have proven that to me.   Let me give you a hint, asswipe.   I've been called a nigger on the clearnet and dealt with it.  You are hiding and you know it.   This is the one area where the clearnet has the advantage.   The clearnet doesn't just log possible illegal activity, but it logs offensive comments, too.   I would argue that it logs the offensive comments a lot better than the illegal activity.  This is the one area where the Silk Road (or even BMR) has over you.   They know when to go on the "down low"  when it really counts.  You can't seem to keep your fucking mouth shut either way!   

That fact that you hate me gives me strength, asswipe.    So, suck on that!   I take your hatred and flip it against you and shove it up your ass!!!!   I don't mind getting fucked up the ass (when I want it), but I'm sure you do (under any circumstance)!

As for those who are genuinely lacking during this latest SR downtime, I sympathize.   But, to asswipes complaining without providing not much else, my patience runs thin (especially with idiots like "iHateNiggers"). 

I salute all of the legitimate vendors on SR and I definitely salute DPR.   But, to you who claim to be a brave soul using the word, "nigger," I laugh in your fucking, pathetic face.    Despite whatever delusions you use to comfort yourself, I deeply and instinctively know that you are ultimately a COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, you will never find me on a street corner, ASSHOLE!!!   That's the fucking point!   This is why I use SR and other contacts.  If I can't get my supply through safe means, I go without.   Fuck you!!!   

You don't have the courage to slit my throat if you met me in person, asswipe.   And honestly, you know that if you were to use the word, 'nigger' on the clearnet, your ass would be gone or banned.   SO....FUCK YOU!!!!!   You are a fucking coward of the worst kind!!!!

I'm surprised no one has brought up a great reason why the 12,000 BTC (about $120,000USD) thing is bunk. It's very simple- That's a laughably small number of BTC compared to the commission made off the whole site's transactions in just one month.

Even JUST using the USA domestic cannabis category for some simple calculations.... I estimate the top vendors move about $2000-5000 of product in a given week based on feedback frequency and checking the item descriptions for those feedback. NCK, Rook, Tweetb and many others crush $2000 a week bare minimum.. So that's an easy $10,000 a week for 5 top vendors, $40,000 in a month. There's dozens more active vendors in just Cannabis alone, I would say even $200,000 from all domestic cannabis vendors in a month is a very VERY low number. Commission is somewhere in between 6-10%, and 10% off that $200k is $20,000 in a month for commission.

Then factor in that there's dozens of drug/other categories and vendors all over the world, custom and private listings, and people that don't leave feedback... that $20,000 from cannabis seems very small. Taking 12k BTC lump sum against a constant and cumulative commission rate like that is just financially retarded.

edit- 120k to 12k BTC in the last line.

EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY 50% CORRECT, AND THEIR INCOME FROM SR IS ONLY $10,000 per month.....THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WEEKS OF A FUCKED UP SITE!!!!  IF YOU HAVE CASH LIKE THAT, THIS SHIT SHOULD BE FIXED IN A DAY!!!  AND DON"T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT "ITS SO COMPLICATED" BULLSHIT.......SILK ROAD IS A TINY, BABY, PUSSY LITTLE WEBSITE IN INTERNET-LAND.....THESE FUCKERS ARE IDIOTS IF THEY HAVEN"T GOT THE SITE UP YET.......AND........IF IT EVER DOES COME BACK UP< IT BETTER BE LIGHTNING FUCKING FAST AND SUCKING OUR DICKS !    I AM STILL TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT!!!!

I don't think I'm anyone special, just an average small-time cannabis buyer who happens to be a customer of his. My place has been known since I've been here. It was not to find out profit made, but gross coins earned in an average week. That's all.

You can check out the block chain.  All transactions are public.  You don't need the site to see what account is losing or gaining coins.  All you need is the deposit address and you can look it up in the block chain.

BTW, i'm not condoning this theory about missing coins in any way.  Since the coin tumblr as others have already stated brings your balance to 0 and your account is credited coins.

I doubt Limetless will be replying to me after dishing out his verbal assault, which is fine. I consider it an important milestone in any SR users' voyage to get chewed out by Lim, he doesn't just go after any asshole troll on here. I feel special now. <3

But, I'm guessing that you also found it disrespectful to ask a vendor for a ballpark estimate on weekly sales, which is fine. I don't deny that it can be considered rude, but the context of my question has been left out. I made a hypothetical situation a few pages back to give people a scope on the ridiculous amount of commission SR makes to de-bunk the '12k btc is gone omg dpr is stealing from us' theory. I just was looking for an estimate to see if my numbers were close. Doesn't really matter either way, really; I still stand by my modest estimates in that post.

Hello Everyone! 

As a Vendor here who is hopeful all things return bigger and better, we must say we understand why certain members here are angry.
We believe the fearless leader DPR, whether that be a real person, or a group of people, are doing everyone a huge disservice with their
obviously vague "updates" that say nothing other than "working on it"......   
As a vendor, we have not been able to effectively use SR for almost 2 weeks.....it has been down completely for more than 5 days.....
it has severely hampered our plans, our income, and our future prospects.
While we hope this issue will be resolved soon,   we must implore those in control,  please provide us with  CONCRETE info as to WHATS wrong,
and WHEN SR will be up.    There is really NO REASON that can't be done, and your refusal to do so is what's causing everyone to be spooked. 
In the time that has passed already, a whole new SilkRoad could have been programmed and implemented!    What are you doing????
If they truly are legit, and no shenanigans are taking place, there is no reason this site is still down.
While we appreciate the opportunity to even be here, this is getting over the top ridiculous by now.

You can guesstimate based on prices and the product rotation how much money someone actually makes here. There's no need to ask. It was already stated earlier that for marijuana alone, monthly income is estimated around 100 or 200k or so.

I don't know if you're a vendor or not, but if you are, would you feel comfortable talking about your earnings? I sure wouldn't.

If they truly are legit, and no shenanigans are taking place, there is no reason this site is still down.
While we appreciate the opportunity to even be here, this is getting over the top ridiculous by now.

Not one person that I've seen make a claim like this seems to have a shred of experience in software or web development.

I doubt Limetless will be replying to me after dishing out his verbal assault, which is fine. I consider it an important milestone in any SR users' voyage to get chewed out by Lim, he doesn't just go after any asshole troll on here. I feel special now. <3

But, I'm guessing that you also found it disrespectful to ask a vendor for a ballpark estimate on weekly sales, which is fine. I don't deny that it can be considered rude, but the context of my question has been left out. I made a hypothetical situation a few pages back to give people a scope on the ridiculous amount of commission SR makes to de-bunk the '12k btc is gone omg dpr is stealing from us' theory. I just was looking for an estimate to see if my numbers were close. Doesn't really matter either way, really; I still stand by my modest estimates in that post. NCK also replied with basically "$0 this week" to which I essentially said "lol that's a good answer" Don't worry guys, he can handle himself here!

I don't think it's anyone's business to have any idea how much money someone makes, be it on SR or in real life.

I don't know if you're a vendor or not, but if you are, would you feel comfortable talking about your earnings? I sure wouldn't.

Yes, you're right, no one has the right to know how much a vendor makes. That's not what I asked, though. I politely asked if he would be comfortable giving an estimate, to see how close my estimates were. I used those exact criteria to make my estimations, which is also my post that you're referring to. People are missing the connection of the context beforehand and think I am blindly asking how much NCK profits. Which is completely fine given how much of a clusterfuck this thread is.

I believe a fellow vendor asking that question would be more out of line, but I've had dozens of people ask how much I make on eBay, mostly in disbelief that my entire income comes from there. Rude, yes,but I didn't have to answer. Neither did NCK.

all these words of people griping and whining don't really matter. if this shit works for you - vendor or buyer - you keep on. all in. you can't build up some model SR in your head where everything works great, build your business model off that, and plod forward on the assumption that your imaginary SR will do exactly as you wish. there are unknowns. the unknowns over the course of a year have been, believe it or not, somewhat consistent. it's not all butter, there are some hairs in the food too. take that shit and add it to your conception of reality, and then base your plans and decisions off of it, all the while knowing that any fucking minute could throw you a new monkey wrench. if you try and model your imaginary universe off of this or that sliver of time and experience your imagination will fill in the void and take you places you never wanted to go. stick to the facts, stick to reality, quit making assumptions, and take it or leave it.

Title: Fixing Software Takes Time
Post by: jarrod on November 14, 2012, 05:08 am
I also have a 15+ years of software development, and agree that sometimes it takes far longer than you think to get software problems fixed. Especially when you're dealing with things like sudden, large, increases in user volume. Add on top of that the fact that your site needs to be iron-tight and completely anonymous, and it may take a while to fix problems. On normal websites if you mess up you get fired. Here if you mess up on security you get life in prison. So you have to be careful, and people should respect that!

What gets me nervous is when the site is down this long they may be having other problems like data loss. Maybe they lost account data (ie. your bitcoins) or other transactional data. I really hope they didn't considering I have 40+ bc attached to my account at the moment....

Could be, and even if I don't want to spread FUD, a good way to cashout is to keep people waiting for the site to return in order to prevent btc prices plummeting that would follow a simple "SR has vanished" situation.

It is fairly easy to see what is happening. DPR decided, some time ago, that he made enough money (which he certainly has). So why take the risk of operating the site? Of course, he couldn't just shut down the Road because BTC prices would fall and LE would be tracking his endeavors of cashing out. Instead, he faked a "server crash" and "maintenance mode" so he could cash out the BTC in relaxation (just look at the huge movements of BTC documented in this thread). This process takes several days, if not weeks, and that is the cause why the Road is still in maintenance mode. You'll see that when DPR is finished getting his cash, SR and the forums will simply cease to exist.

although, if you are going to make a SR copy. why not make an improved version.

better Feed back system. more features. ect.

not just a carbon copy with differnet skin.

yeah i was on my account for 5 mins and it said 0. but when i refreshed it says 404 now .

we need a tax break, how can DPR tax us, and we still pay full price. that not right, what happened to our money we payed to be vendors. or our tax money. loks like it been put to good use with a 7 day offline mode//

Some people just don't belong in the game

BMR isn't quite a SR copy, just of the same role of business. As expected they look alike.
I was remembering when I first saw backopy, was at bitcointalk, back on the early days of SR. He was selling some cracked games or shit like that, when the shit hit the fan at SR with the gawker article and, like now, it went down for quite sometime. I recall this guy, unknown to the community up to so far, just much later he said to be the TD creator as well, to say something like "I'll see what I can do" and overnight he came up with BM (at the time wasn't Reloaded). It surely missed many SR features, was miles away of a carbon copy, more like eBay, you could purchase now and pay after, I may say a total fiasco. With time however it came to be more close to SR business model and v3 was a major improvement.

Silk road gets an estimated $6,000 per day in commission - and vendors has to put up with this? I would understand it better if there would have been information regarding this a head of time, information, whats up,SOME INFORMATION NOT DETAILED INFORMATION THAT CAN BE MISUSED U TW'** etc. This is clearly not a normal 1-hour maintenance session - this may have been posted on the forum but how many % of SR users actually go there every day to get the latest information when it is easy to post on on SR the same way they do with 420.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the new site and my fingers r crossed.

All the best,

Post by: iamonion on November 14, 2012, 06:59 am
Holy fuck you are seriously lack an understanding of what the feds like to call op-sec.  That stands for operation security.  You CAN NOT and DO NOT EVER display/post/give out information that will give the enemy ideas of what your current plan of attack is.  That means, no updates on why the server is down, no updates on what specifically is being done, no spot on ETA for the server to be up, etc.  You cannot maintain operational security by giving the enemy information of your current whereabouts.  Holy fucking beejesus this is op-sec 101.

Considering how fucking ignorant so many people are to the ideas of security DESPITE USING A WEBSITE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO PURCHASE DRUGS ONLINE... I truly wonder... If SR does get popped how many of you fucking idiots are going down with it for complete and utter failure to understand basic security measures?  I bet 95% of the users here participate in near zero security measures.  I also bet that using even 25% of available security features would be enough to prevent the feds from doing any more than an initial questioning especially if one was to ask for a lawyer and answer nothing... but considering you're all fucking retarded when it comes to security measures... I hope you have fun being pounded by leeroy.

BTW, I just checked the blockchain and my coin hasn't moved.

I haven't been using this site for long but I love it for what it stands for. To an extent, true freedom in an un-free world (democracy, yeah right). I hope this problem gets resolved and the damage done is repaired. If this does turn out to be a great big rip off, a site of this type and scale will probably never be trusted ever again. The damage done to the trust of users will be too great for any other site to operate the same in the near future. Un-fortunately large amounts of coin are being held ransom at the moment and each day is damaging users trust more and more. Whether or not the site is trusted IF it comes back online will really depend on how the admins handle things once its running. Lets hope this is sorted soon.

You probably should delete that block chain info.  Although everyone can see the block chain info... it probably isn't in your best bet to disclose the source of your coin if it wasn't properly tumbled prior to adding it in your SR wallet.

Also, your coin went into the tumbler.

back up, and for those who cant read previous posts, only vendors can login now, everyone else will be able to in a few hours....now that everyone can unwad their panties... i found this and it made me chuckle. "conspiracy theorists" would love it.

"A pirate of near-mythical reputation, The Dread Pirate Roberts is feared across the seven seas for his ruthlessness and swordfighting prowess, and is well known for taking no prisoners.
It is revealed during the course of the story that Roberts is not one man, but a series of individuals who periodically pass the name and reputation to a chosen successor. Everyone except the successor and the former Roberts is then released at a convenient port, and a new crew is hired. The former Roberts stays aboard as first mate, referring to his successor as "Captain Roberts", and thereby establishing the new Roberts' persona. After the crew is convinced, the former Roberts leaves the ship and retires on his earnings."

Cannot believe the stressed out people on this thread.  If you read this latest msg, it explains ONLY vendors will be able to access the SR for the first phase of the re-launch, to allow them to catch up.  Encouraging to see the login screen back up though!

I transferred some coins to my SR wallet right before it went down, so as eager as anyone to get back in and place my order.

It's pretty stellar to have watched the combination of anger, confusion, and paranoia build up over the past 5 days and 66 pages, followed by the collective catharsis that is currently taking place. I felt like I was part of a community despite never interacting. There are some ugly (on the inside) motherfuckers around here, but some rational personalities too. Stoked for SR, hope it's bigger, badder, and more secure. All great social movements face great turmoil time and time again, and it appears DPR rises to the occasion consistently.

Beaner + Sprout, I would halt on any BTC movement until you can actually log into the site. - I'm just as eager. - Also if you go to page 1 (Original Post), which kept getting updated, you will see there he states that any auto-finalize, auto-vacation (due to inactivity I presume), and the like "clocks" I believe he referred to them as, have been stopped. So it will be a gradual restore. -

I'm just as eager as you are Beaner.

We can all breath a collective sigh of relief.

You'd also be a fool if you did not have thought there was at least a 1% chance of LE being involved or of some other skulduggery afoot!  - Then again, paranoia is relative to an individuals experiences, or lack thereof. 

I just hope there is at least something in the mail today ! !  5:30am Wed where I am. - Oooh shit~! Gotta put the garbage pails down to the street! - Gotta kill time anyway! - Get the kid off to school, etc.

Thanks to the whole SR team for getting this back up and running fairy quickly,  I've only been a user a short while but my couple of orders I've done (painlessly) have made the site invaluable to me since I moved away from all my irl contacts.  Also thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread (even the haters) it has really kept me entertained over the last few days.

Right I'm off to get some BTC in eager anticipation of being able to purchase some greenery.   ; 8)

i guess as with most new members you may think its a troll or spammer or some like it,  till you see the person and their behavior and such, that is fair enough to
i have read the front page and see that its closed for new members to reg.

i didnt seem to fully see  if you would be closed permanent for new members like myself or if it was till everything was up and running again and things are sorted out?

:thumbs up:  great job to get up and running again it must have been really hard work and many hours to.

Being in this Thread over the last few days has been an interesting experience to say the least.
But I don’t think it’s as black an white as everyone makes it out to be, obviously cunts like TiredOf… are just straight up wankers… but on that same note I don’t think we can all say ‘Fuck The Haters, Long Live The Road’ etc.
Of course I will be extremely happy if/when I can log back on to buy goods.
But common sense is needed, let’s not forget this is a ‘underground’ website and anything is possible – and lessons of practice should be learned. I’m not trying to be negative, just saying anything is possible here… and if the shit did hit the fan don’t go crying to mommy.

Unfortunately most of those accounts were made after SR went down, so pathetic they didn't even have the balls to tell their opinions, even behind TORs anonymity.
None of them will leave I m sure about that. That's how they make money . They ll keep on "licking DPR's ass" more than anyone they accused of doing that that in this thread.

Hey all.  So I have been an SR member for over 8 months now. I don't really post that often on the forums but since SR went down I have been following this thread.  First I am so happy to see that black login page (even if I can't get on right now) however I am wondering if anyone is nervous about doing business on SR since its been down so long.  I know people with legal online businesses and if their server was down a 1/2 a day that is too long.  I am not trying to start any conspiracy theory here but I am just wondering if we are walking into a trap and instead of receiving a package, I am getting a knock on the door from LE.  Again, I am not trying to start anything, I am just wondering if anyone out there is a little nervous?

yeah i think everyone is a bit nervous, but i think everything will return to normal. but it doesnt not help to be cautious.
im just stoked the actual server is back up, at least functioning for the vendors. i truely never doubted dpr, but i must say this is the longest extended period of downtown for maintenance that ive experienced in 1. 4 years. i consider it something minor, in concerns with the once possible notion that sr might have never come back up. 
Title: Re: update

LOL, I'm not even worried about my coins being there, I have little doubt about that.  I just wanna get on to get a tracking number for a package that should have been here by now.  I was gonna log in to save the number right when the site went down.  talk about bad timing!


@rfs78;  I feel like there are just too many of us to get us one by one like that.  I may be slightly concerned as a vendor, but even then, there will be no new info that wasn't on the site before.  no worries.

Title: Thank you for letting me spend my money on Silk Road.
Post by: Perrey on November 14, 2012, 02:55 pm
Can someone explain to me why we should pray to/and worship DPR for doing his job? He is fantastic indeed but this is a business and not a club - whats it about? Friendship? NO - money money money.

In this club.. sorry community it seems like we, the buyers, has to be so thankful and happy/satisfied that we even got the chance to be members of this fantastic website (don't take me wrong here - it is fantastic) even though we deposit our hard-earned money that someone will get in return of sending me a product that I want - and I expect that product and nothing else because I am paying for it. It happens every now and then that a vendor might be nice and give you a sample for free but that doesn't mean it will happen again. Business.

Look at the feedback and compare it to forum posts about the same product - (its not only me bringing this up to the table - the newly published research paper on SR mentions it as well  (the paper was published 2-3 weeks ago) they found that even if the product/service wasn't considered to be a perfect 5/5 they still report it to be - sometimes because the vendor sometimes has the power to stop selling to you and or damage your reputation as a buyer/consumer. Many buyers also feel like they have to give a 5/5 and at the same time be thankful that you got the opportunity to buy it in the first place.  I understand that many people thinks that it was worth it no matter what because its illegal and i agree that you can't expect the same from SR as from a legit shop but SR and the vendors are there for one reason - make money.

A bit messy but i hope you get my point..

All the best,
PERREY

I know man, I just hope they don't open that shit at peak hours, unless they've seriously increased the amount of traffic the site can handle over the last couple days.  I don't wanna refresh 10 times to make the 1 purchase (well, maybe 2 ;)) I need!  Fuck it though!  I'm just happy to almost be back on the road.   8)

I take your point man for sure.

I think the praise comes from a platform that takes out a lot of the shit that is involved with buying drug IRL.

It all stems from that, I for one am  grateful the platform exists and I don't have to put up with:
- Unreliable Dealers
- Absolute Dog Shit Product

Sure you get the odd scammer here and there, but the difference of buying IRL and here is night and day...

Fantastic work getting the site back up!!!

I followed the forums this week, in part to snuff out my own anxiety, but also they have been a very interesting read and study of human nature!  One thing for sure, there are very combustible ingredients here, both of which have been and can be a cause of duress.  One is of course the reason we all are here, and the other is just plain money.  Of course I can't propose a better system, I don't know of one.  But addressing this problem alone, this quote from Romeo fits very well: 

"There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls,
Doing more murders in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none.
Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh.
Come, cordial and not poison, go with me
. . . for there must I use thee.

Well, either one of these ingredients causes problems, at this point in time, but one matter remains obvious to me is that people need to learn and be patient and have little faith.  There are going to be some losses, and some gains.  Hopefully, on the timeline of infinity, this one instance will help.  I respect DPR very much for the undertaking here!  and for the patience and the wisdom and strength of character DPR continues to display.  Thanks!!

I would even increase this to 5 or 10 BTC and the buy gets it back after their 3rd successful transaction.

Great to see the SR back online, can't wait to login and do my purchases :D

This!  I've suffered droughts for way longer than 5 days IRL, and dealt with some of the sketchiest motherfuckers, only to end up with practically worthless product.  Been scammed here once, and it was totally my fault for letting my soft side get the best of me with a pity FE.  SR is 10x better than copping IRL, even with these glitches.  We don't hafta kiss DPR's ass, but I appreciate what he does and what he has created!  It's brilliant, in my feeble mind! :P

You should learn to plan and manage your money better, if this is such an issue for you.  1 more day isn't that long to wait.  If you don't like it, go find another 24/7 drug buying site that's guaranteed to never go down, or get your bitch ass back out on the corner and do it the old fashioned way, since that's so much more reliable ::)  retard

If the site is a lot smoother and reliable from this point on I am perfectly fine with downtime. I just hope it doesnt go back to being hit or miss

not turning the AF on for a few days is a nice gesture, I dont think people are so much "in line to lick dp rob's nuts" as just showing gratitude for a complex situation finally being brought under control. If you know how to make a better website than do it.

why the fuck would you keep a lot of money on any of these websites anyway?

in situations like this, i like to ask myself: 'is there anything productive i can do about this situation?'  if the answer is no, then the outcome will be whatever the outcome is going to be regardless of how miserable and crazy i chose to make myself over it.

food for thought.

Wow. I'm not sure if the problem is withdrawals or all these people having this insane sense of self entitlement like Silk Road should just magically reopen again. Whether it was a DDoS attack, a server clean-up, a sever crash, etc at the end of the day nothing can be changed. Roberts said he and his team was in the process of preparing SR to reopen and several vendors say they have access. So...if vendors have access and a few people are getting some sort of login page, whether restricted or not, why would anyone NOT see this a positive step towards reopening?

I'm sure the Road will be back up in the next few days and once everyone logs in to make sure their BTC is or isn't there and does their casual window shopping it'll be easier to get back in.

I'm not sure if people should smoke more weed or less at this point. :D Either way maybe take a xanax and a VERY deep breath

Seriously though I have a terrible internet connection and ALWAYS have a problem connecting to SR. If I can get to the login page everyone can. The SR team has obviously restricted access for a while b/c it says so on the login page and just refreshes when I try to get inside. So..we're close people. I mean I'm sure this has been said but Roberts benefits financially to keep SR open. I guess he "could" run off with some BTC from each account but the amount he'd make if he just kept it running has to be insanely more.

EVERYONE IS WILLING TO SETTLE FOR SUB-PAR PERFORMANCE
EVERYONE IS WILLING TO BEND OVER AND TAKE IT IN THE ASS, RATHER THAN STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES AND DEMAND MORE!
WORK HARD, DO YOUR BEST!
THEY HAVE NOT.  THE SITE IS RUNNING, BUT IT IS NO BETTER  NO CHANGES. 
THEY GAVE THE REASON FOR ALL THIS AS "we're making changes for explosive growth" ....
WHERE ARE THE CHANGES??   NON-EXISTENT.
DO YOU ENJOY SPENDING 2 HOURS ONLINE TO DO WORK THAT SHOULD TAKE 15 MINUTES, BECAUSE  THE SITE YOU ARE USING IS FUCKED UP ???
IF YOU"RE GONNA DO IT, DO IT WELL!   DONT START UP THE SAME OLD BUGGY BULLSHIT SLOW SITE!!!   THEY'VE GOT MONEY AND RESOURCES!

As DPR said in his update

buyers will be allowed access 24 hours from the time of his update. Vendors have access so we can get everything in order.

It's kinda like a new shopping centre (mall) opening, its soo exciting hahaha.

Then as suggested by many others you can leave this site asap. You are then free to spend the time money and resources building a superior version which, judging from your intelligent posts is exactly what you will do.


More importantly, don't these forums have some level of moderation to stop users like this guy from posting this stuff?

No doubt. I only had to mark 6 packages 'in transit', which have already been shipped of course. In fact I think they have all probably been delivered by now.

What would really help would be to get some buyers to finalize their orders and place new ones. There is nothing to do until then....

I would bet there is more than 5,000 users actively checking the login page to see if buyers can get on.. Ive noticed a few times when I was checking that I will get a timed out error but its only because of all the traffic to the page buy antsy buyers (myself included) checking periodically to see if they can get on.. refresh it til it loads or wait til there is a post in the forums saying we can get on.. If you have extreme patience, just wait til tomorrow and you will definitely be able to log on..

I'm sure lots of people have more than me at stake if these withdrawals never go through. We'll know for sure in 24 hours if we'll ever get our BTC back.

ohh pleeease..... some vendors already said they have all their coins ..
 just STFU.. i (and im pretty sure the rest of the community too)cant hear your shit anymore

wtf is wrong with you guy!?
Actually, if deposits and withdrawals are disabled then vendors have no idea if they have their coins. All they have is a number on a page. Not saying I think the money is gone, just enlightening you ;)

I said early on. I NOW know that I do NOTHING else on the internet other then SR.

I hope no matter what the true obstacles are that DPR and team have fully over come them (although I am not honestly sure they have) and we can all move on forward together.
All my orders are up to date and out the door.

Once the doors are reopened to the buyers please check me out for some deals as we try our best to welcome everyone back.

I've tried both of these and only the 2nd gets me to the login page.

I placed my first 4 orders on Thursday and I've already received one of them! Unfortunately I can't remember who the vendor was, but I will be giving you good feedback as soon as we get going again :)

I know it's very hard to be patient in this situation, but it would probably be better for buyers to not keep hitting the login page so much just to keep getting the same message. This will only put more unneeded demand on the server while the vendors are trying to do their thing. I'd say check once every couple hours or so and just keep looking here. Someone will surely alert everyone when it's open.

I feel like everything is going to be up and running soon! I can tell they have been working on the site ALL DAY for the past couple of days at the least! It's obvious because it first said only sellers could login and now it times out on me (I'm only a buyer) but I have been a member of the SR for quite a while now and they have been down before. Everyone always panics and freaks out each and every time there is an interruption in service, but in the end they always get it back up and running for us  :)

The only thing that is going to suck is that when it DOES start working again it's going to be  S-L-O-W!!! because everyone who has an account will probably be logging in!  :)

As for sellers losing money, they didn't lose my money because I have been waiting for the site to get back up and running and I will place my order then. It's just that instead of getting 30 orders a day (or whatever they normally get) they will get more like 300 orders a day for a few days  ;D

******** :D :D :D I want to send a HUGE Thanks to all the folks that are working on the site to get it back up for us! Those guys deserve our support, not a bunch of bitching,whining, complaining etc.! So, thanks ALLOT guys and gals at Silk Road for all your hard work!!  :) :) :)

Peace!

Halleluja brothers and sisters. I was so relieved this morning when I saw that little login screen. I was so worried about the site disapearing, I should never have doubted DPR and the SR team, I appreciate it all so much more now, this site is a miracle, no others compare.

I thought there would be huge problems caused by the down time but there isnt, vendors are going on sorting all the orders out and it is just like the SR clock stopped Friday afternoon and started again now so there are not many problems or consequences. Its amazing. Im so happy.

Long live The Silk Road and Dread Pirate Roberts.

I just finally successfully listed an item after getting partially there a bunch of times and then getting timeouts over and over for an hour.  Took most of the day to get ~6 page loads...

Not to be the Negative Nancy in the room, but if this is JUST vendors hitting the site (and buyers hitting the main page like crazed maniacs, which isn't very bandwidth intensive anyway), then how's it going to be any better when all users are logged in loading pages / etc.?

Or is it just me having this problem? haha.

Not twitching forsay, but could definitely go for a joint of some of the fine weed I got delivered last week. the Mrs' valium stash has taken a bit of a battering while I haven't been able to smoke a joint of an evening.  Hey-ho look on the bright side my tolerance will be down a bit, so when it all comes good again it should knock me on the floor.  I think having 50g of blow would probably get me twitching more than going with out a smoke.   ;D

Thank you the site is finally working, although still kinda glitchy, I can only imagine the amount of server traffic now. Was wondering since DPR said deposits or withdrawls wont be working yet, what would happen if I tried sending BTC from mt gox to my SR wallet? Bad idea?
Title: Re: update
Post by: rfs78 on November 14, 2012, 10:46 pm
When I got on I quickly transferred BTC from Mt Gox to my SR wallet and then saw that they aren't accepting deposits yet. I hope my BTC doesn't get lost

Thanks
Title: Re: update
Post by: PartTimeFiend on November 14, 2012, 10:57 pm
Yes Yes Yes SR is back up :)
Question:  I am a regular member, not a vendor and it says no deposits or withdraws yet.  Does that mean I can't place orders?:
I do not understand.  Please respond ASAP.

Thanks.

My understanding is you can't add or withdraw coins to/from your account, BUT you can spend any coins you currently have in your SR wallet.  Luckily I had just send 12 coins to the SR before it went down....  happy to see they're still there ready for shopping!

Well done to all those who fixed the problems and got the Road back up.

Cheers

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work getting the site back up! I know what it takes to run a site, let alone one like SR,
and it is no fun when 1000's of people pounding on ya to get the site running! I hope all users take the events of the last few days
to really improve their selling and buying. I know it's a far fetched dream to see the scammers and bullshit artists to go away or
simply change their ways, but, there is always hope! I'm not preaching but this is for everyone, and respect your fellow SR's!!!

Rock on, peace, and keep it running, long n strong, all day long!!!!

Great to be back!

congrats SR-team for getting the site back online...!!! i'm an IT-admin myself  and i think i can imagine what you went through the last days. not sure, what infrastructure this whole thing is based on, but outages like this always remind you that in order to achieve a maximum availability you need redundancy pretty much on every level (storage, network, server (incl. web-server, database-server, etc.) , switches, routers, cabling, power). of course a professional provider can provide that, but this platform is not something you run with professional provider like amazon or google. ;)

i guess you will have a proper analysis of the whole thing to be able to improve the potential weak spots in your infrastructure.

talking about infrastructure, is there some information available about what your infrastructure looks like or is based on? just curious, comes with the job.

about the bitcoins-transfers:
not sure, but since processing is currently halted, i would expect that any new incoming coins will just be queued and will be transferred, once the processing starts again. well, can't be sure though. i for myself will not transfer coins until tomorrow morning.

again, THANKS SR-team for bringing the site back online. live long and prosper...

Alright, I'm glad the site is up, I am just a little confused.

I made a BC deposit into my account and I can see on the blockchain that it has been sent to another bitoin address and isn't appearing on my account. This is happening for others, correct?

Can I just congratulate us all for creating an 83 page topic? I wish the forum was always this active haha.
Glad SR is back up! If anybody's missing money that doesn't turn up in a few days they should contact DPR, I've lost money in the previous downtime and got it all back from him. Do wait for a few days though, it might very well just be stuck in the server backlogs. Or in the blockchain which needs a while to process the money that's now all freed up on the servers. No need to ask for money if it's already on it's way.
Title: Re: update
Post by: gubidahubida on November 14, 2012, 11:54 pm
Oh NO!!! I just sent all my money from blockchain to my SR wallet! Please somebody on the SR team, tell me if that is bad. I only just saw all the hoopla about withdrawing and depositing not yet working, but does that mean that my coins are lost? Or does it simply mean that there will be a delay before the coins show up in my SR account?

PLEASE somebody give me some insight, I'm having a panic attack, all my money was in that one transfer I just made. :(

(btw thank you DPR for the standup work, if I one day may shake your hand, I should be honored. you do a great service for humanity and ought to be acknowledged for it)

jesus christ i just spent the last half hour just trying to log in.. i either a.) get the login screen but keep getting 'login failed, please try again' or b.) connection has reset error

so i can't tell if 1.) i just can't remember my password (or if my password got corrupted due to the downtime or something) or 2.) my account still even exists or 3.) if i locked my account for too many failed attempts (does the site do that?) or 4.) if only vendors are allowed to log in still ?? The first page UTC updates are nice but w/o a date to go along with the timestamps it's hard to tell which day which update is for..

and of course there's no 'forgot my password' link so i don't know what i'm supposed to do next, i got some bitcoinage on my account so i don't want to just create a new account (not to mention my account reputation is in damn good standing would be a shame to throw that away)

halp?

UPDATE:

of course as soon as i post this message, i finally am able to log in (with a password i swear it told me was invalid before, but maybe i just fsck'd up the captcha that time?).  Anyway still getting the intermittant 'Connection has been reset' errors here and there but at least i am reunited at last with my precious bitcoinage!)

Post by: Nis on November 15, 2012, 12:41 am
I'm having some trouble with my bitcoins. On the 9th, before the downtime, I deposited some money via a MoneyGram into my SR account. The blockchain site confirmed that it went, and I also received an email from ZipZap and bitinstant confirming the payment. However, very recently the blockchain site had an outgoing arrow (I assume this means the money was sent out of my account) to two other addresses.

Does this mean my bitcoins were stolen somehow? They're still not in my account. I can provide SR support with the emails and the blockchain link if it'd help. I sent in a support message.
Title: Re: update
Post by: undeniableDillema on November 15, 2012, 12:54 am
Site is flaky as fuck even after i got signed on.. not complaining though, i realize all the idiots (like me) are 'gang-banging' the site (like the other fellow so colorfully put it :-)

What's annoying me is i can't withdraw my btc, i know what PIN is and i tried all possible ones i can think of and i finally got the dreaded:

incorrect PIN. 1 attempts left.

so imma just chill out for a few days until the site stabilizes (hopefully), hopefully my pin will start to work otherwise there'll be some 'splainin to do!

Yes it is trick getting SR to work --- seems like the issue is too many MySQL queries making the server temporarily unresponsive at times. Have seen this quite a bit in my IT travels.  .. For me a fresh boot before entering tor network helps. Then using a lot of back buttons to last successful cached page -  then refreshing my network connection before clicking on link or submitting data. On Linux there is the auto eth0 button at top which is like resetting the adapter on windows machine this has helped a lot. 

But really really happy to have site back and don't mind the minor tech bugs ...

11:30pm NY Time Wed - 04:00:00 UTC Thursday (same time) - Went from a few hours of glitchy finalizing, to back to normal, maybe a tad faster, but then Europe is finally asleep! (lol sorry guys, cheap joke)

Try not to do "multiple screens" - 2 up at a time maximum. This helps the servers to adjust.  The bottleneck syndrome seems to be fading away.

If anything, I'm noticing a lot of "new" vendors from last week, kept up with their orders, while tried and true ones, (just the few I've dealt with) still have my orders "processing" Since Tuesday/Wednesday before the Friday night crash.

Forums proved the most invaluable resource SR has in all of this. - Party on people!

I'm going to guess that at least some of the the movement on blockchain (bitcoins being transferred around) was due to DPR re-tumbling them.  SR has a tumble mechanism built in, but if there was a suspected security breach-- something we will hopefully get more info on in the next few days-- then DPR might have felt it necessary to re-work the SR wallets.  If you're missing coins just message support.

DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! MY FUNDS WERE IN THERE FROM MY PREVIOUS ACCOUNT BEFORE THE SITE WENT DOWN BUT I TOO TRANSFERED 500BTC'S ONCE THE SITE WENT UP FOR AN ORDER.

WHILE I WAS FINALIZING OTHER ORDERS AND WAITING FOR THE CONFIRMATIONS WHICH DIDN'T START FOR 45 MINUTES, AFTER I CHECKED THE FUNDS AND WERE CONFIRMED I AM NOW COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT THE SITE AGAIN!!!! AS IT IS DOWN AGAIN YOU NEED TO FIX THIS FOR GOOD!!!!! I REALLY HOPE THIS ISN'T A PONZI ACTION FROM OTHER SITES IVE SEEN.

ERROR MESSAGE IS The connection has timed out. The server at silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is taking too long to respond. Problem loading page!!!

Server overload. While most of Europe went to bed, it got super fast here in the US, but around wake up time for those in say London, Berlin, etc, things started  s l o w i n g  d o w n . 

They're short on servers. I believe a large amount of the damaged ones from Hurricane Sandy last week, are part of the slow recovery.

DPR probably put it up for 24 hours to let people catch up on their biz and has now taken it down to strengthen it during non peak hours once again.

I withdrew 1000BTC and 500BTC and the 1000BTC just showed up in my wallet, I assume the 500 to follow.

You guys are too much sometimes lol.

It was working fine earlier which was middle of the night Europe.

It's now 8am-11am in Europe depending on where you are and most users seem to be European so I would say the server(s) is copping a pretty severe pounding.

Geez! -

There's a lot more money to be made by him (meaning THEM) than you have any idea.

No one is walking away from that, unless they're crazy!

Things will be fine.

I know a thing or two about servers, not a geek, just did a lot of work on West St and Wall St after 9/11 to get the Market up and running, and learned and awful lot.

Chill. That area is again a disaster area from the hurricane. Still entire blocks downtown Manhattan are without power.

It will be all right.

It's about 50/50 Europe/North America volume wise.

i can definitely understand why people are upset - i was one of the lucky ones who not only got in and made an order, but made contingencies in case it goes down again for a while.

but don't leave it down for 6 days saying the length of the delay is so this never happens again, only for it to happen again less than 24 hours later.

if it has been deliberately taken down for more work, people should've been told.

i still refuse to believe that this is any sort of a scam - although it's a brilliant way to do it if it is. open it, take a shitload of deposits, then keep them all.

the problem with it is that if we use the $50m estimate in a previous post, how would you offload the bitcoins? if you try and offload any reasonable percentage of that amount, the btc rate will nose dive.

if he did do it, it would take him 10 years before he could cash it all out.

The rest of you STOP hitting RETRY !  Log completely off. Walk around your room, apartment, flat, or cave. Take a deep breath. Make a cup of tea or coffee. Eat some junk food. Pet your pet. Masturbate.

Whatever!

If everyone reading this agrees to completely log off TOR at the top of the hour, in like a few minutes. Stay off until 15 min after or more.

See if anything changed.

I dare you. Log off. Step away from the machine. Engage life around you.

See you all in about 30 minutes myself.

Not easy, but I'm doing my part. I got a lot done. Small potatoes, but still. Orders are arriving. Bitcoins were flowing just fine.

This is very true. Though the darknet operates different to the clearweb the principals behind the server should still be the same and every time you try to retry and refresh you're screen you are sending a new request and usually the old request is still being processed on the server side.

I'm not 100% sure how much of a difference it makes but it definately doesn't help if everyone pounds the refresh button in panic. It's almost like a rush on the bank causing inflation.

I can just imagine DPR getting a kick out of all this. Imagine, you single-handedly have the power to make or break lives, uplift or ruin emotions, and make people go batshit crazy/paranoid. Not to mention the ability to run away with god-knows-how-much in coins. It's all too amusing to see even from my perspective. Do we really need a disclaimer to warn us? People, grow the FUCK up!! If not, you can continue to further my amusement during the downtime :)

Anyway, I've been able to get on the login page a few times, but no luck getting in.. only a matter of time.

I just want to know where the missing 150 BTC's I sent while the outage happened are. I sent a miniscule payment to my SR wallet and that showed up, but my deposit of 150 BTC was removed yesterday according to the blockchain.

SR support contacted me asking for the deposit address which is the same address in my account ATM, and I sent them all the necessary transaction ID's and they haven't yet got back to me.

It feels very peculiar why they would message me asking for information and when I reply within ten minutes they've forgotten all about it.

Heres the lowdown. This guy is running out of options. Tried to blackmail DPR. DPR has rebuilt the site. He has no other exploitable vulnerabilities except for denial of service.

Assuming DPR did his homework with regards to password security this ass clown has a fuckton of password hashes  to crack offline. Worst case you should all be changing your password and removing all bitcoins from your accounts.

Best case, DPR already found this shit out and fixed it, probably getting all vendors to change passwords immediately.

Either way this guy is obviously out of options because he isn't doing shit except for posting random unverifiable shit on an anonymous forum and dossing.

Yep, it was weird! We'll at the very least have to change our passwords. I got passed that once just before into my messages again, then after sending another reply to the SR team thinking the money I "fortunately" withdrew from my account before the outage was taken along with my 150 BTC yesterday that was sitting in my account but has now been sent somewhere according to the block chain but it never showed in my history, nor is there any history except my last withdrawal on the 3rd and the miniscule deposit today!

This is crazy shit!!!

Nah of course he doesn't care, he's either laughing at the panic he's caused from the users, or he's laughing at the panic he's caused from DPR....

Whatever is happening, if it was facebook or something like that I would be watching with interest, but because of what we have going here it's a bit more annoying for obvious reasons.

Worst case scenario and someone has broken in and has everything, the only incriminating things in there should be names and addresses and they are supposed to be encrypted (i see no reason not to believe this), and that's if they haven't already been sent using PGP. And in any case plausible deniability is still very much on everyone's side if shit really hits the fan.

Whatever is happening, if it was facebook or something like that I would be watching with interest, but because of what we have going here it's a bit more annoying for obvious reasons.

Worst case scenario and someone has broken in and has everything, the only incriminating things in there should be names and addresses and they are supposed to be encrypted (i see no reason not to believe this), and that's if they haven't already been sent using PGP. And in any case plausible deniability is still very much on everyone's side if shit really hits the fan.

i would like to think that in such a situation DPR would pay him off rather than expose his users anyway. sort of been saying this all along but now that i have no SR, i'll take the time to spell things out:
- DPR/SR would never scam their users, that is a stupid theory, we're the geese laying golden eggs for them
- if only one person can restart the system, they're not going to a beach for a holiday without at least a smartphone
- you don't put a production site out of action for this long for upgrades, there are many release processes that'll switch from the old code to new without bringing the site down at all.
- the only reason you would keep a production site down for this long is for security breaches you haven't fixed yet (or someone else is keeping it down for you)


could be wrong but makes more sense than the rest of the doom theories going on.

Thanks Jack for the insightful repost. Question for you is - if genius man had all the dox of everyone on SR, why would he keep posting this repeated crap from 4 days ago to the forums?

Why wouldn't he have just stolen all the coins in escrow?

Why wouldn't he just dump the whole user database with passwords decrypted?

Why wouldn't he just have edited the code? Fuck with every vendor, every buyer?

Oh.. hang on, I know why.. because he can't.

Heres the big tip. Dont leave your coins in your SR account (until this shit has been sorted) and change your password to something that isnt close to being in the dictionary.

Then leave it to denial-of-service boy to keep trying his PHP shit on the site until they patch it.

PS, dos boy, post a single cracked hash. Please, it will make me firm to see what algorithm you craced with your awesome power.

sure ? dpr in jail or what :-(
are the security issues for buyers  (always send addresses PGP encryptet). ?

tia br sweet

worst case scenario someone shuts down SR and we all move on either to something else or forget about it and DPR will left to clean up the mess.

security issues for buyers and sellers should be absolute minimal. from what i gather the address box is stored encrypted in the database, and it should be sent by PGP anyway.

The only thing you could incriminate yourself with is through the private messages as they don't look like they're encrypted.

IP's are fine as they are through the TOR network and i would be VERY surprised if these are logged in the database anyway....

BUT this is absolute worst case. Personal opinion is this guy is just taking advantage and sending panic around.

I guess we'll see.

Wish I could help DPR and his small team, but my expertise is solely in Programming, not Networks or even Websites.

I'm sure he and the gang are giving it 110% and we just need to stand back, relax a little and watch.  :)

Essentially it's about having faith - DPR is a very special person and the Silk Road is a very special place.  8)  Unfortunately its having difficulties coping with its popularity. I've noticed the SR Forum's membership has recently grown from 27,000 back in June 2012 to 45,000 in Nov 2012 - this current rate of growth for an onion site is what is causing all the problems.

Maybe SR will have to split into a small number of sites each containing different drugs, just to make the numbers manageable again - One for Lucy, one for Ganga, one for Heroin etc...  :)

As you said he won't have any cracked passwords. The hash he displayed was a sha512 password.

Assuming DPR set the site up with a salt added to user passwords (no one would run a site like this without using a salt on password hashes) then there is no way this guy can crack a sha512.

IF this guy is the one behind you're most likely right that a DDOS attack. that's IF.

that wouldn't matter.

the passwords would (at least SHOULD) have a salt attached to them which is just a bunch of random characters that not even the user knows. This prevents dictionary and rainbow attacks on passwords.

but they could just be sending a hash of anything random.... it could be 123456 for all we know. i can't be fucked checking.

if you search through the hidden wiki there are hacking sites and they have dictionaries of known hashes and it's possible the hash he stated in his first post is on them....

can't say re; signature.

but i'd say almost certainly someone just sending some panic and taking advantage of the site being down again. if you were gonna make it public as he has you'd send something more than just a password hash which could be anything to the outside world.... you'd match someone's details with something else that couldn't be denied....

as said above, IF he has access to the database the really shouldn't be anything in there that is unencrypted and incriminating.

That could be, there were a lot of anxious peoplez wanting to login.  Thousands of posts in this forum attest to that.  I think maybe DPR needs to spend $100k and build himself a mountain-bunker datacenter....   :/    Personally that is nothing less than I would do if I had the means.   I would use prepaid smart phones and tether internet for the servers.  I would have a couple of shipping containers.  I would make it all temperature controlled and all the rest.  It would be well ventilated.  Then I would have an offsite and onsite encrypted backup.  And a DESTROY button on my cell phone so that I could either remotely destroy the remote backup, or the data in the datacenter.   It'll be all james bond. 
It'd have to be all offgrid and on some remote island.  Solar panels, wind turbines, battery bank, backup generator, etc..  Super redundant. 

I intend to start pitching in on this project, and I encourage any coders out there to do the same.  Its a GIT project, just started learning about it;

And all the good vendors have quality stuff listed, I wish I didn't have to wait for people to wait 3 days then finalize since I still only have <35 transactions!  Many big vendor list threads have popular vendor's tormail addresses--that's still up right?

Surely being an "IT professional" you would know that it is possible the site is just too busy? Seeing as it has not been up for a while you would imagine when it does get back it would be packed.

I'm not getting into technical details or any discussion you are in your right to think I'm wrong or I do not know what I'm saying. But I'm an IT professional and I know my field. I just hope SR can fix the issues soon as anyone else :(
Hey everyone we have an "IT professional" here.  He's apparently so good that he is able to diagnose issues on the SR end that are completely hidden from his visibility.  Better hope the government doesn't hire him and use his services because if they do they'll clearly be able to take control of the SR website with his "IT professional" help.

Sorry I'm a sarcastic asshole c3ri110 but I'd be surprised if you knew the difference between a SYN and an ACK and even if you did there is NO WAY you could determine SR is currently down due to a DOS attack.

Is it possible for someone to set up a  copy of the SILKROAD HIDDEN SERVICE: same adress: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion - and then just collect user:password
Terrible if its so easy to do this but how can the system protect from such an attack?

Your Tor hidden service URL is like a public key.

There are 43608742899428874059776 different urls you can randomly generate a key to host a Tor hidden service at. Half of that number is how many key generations you'd have to try on average before finding a key suitable for any particular URL.

Possible, but ridiculously unlikely.

Even for the drug addled community SR is, there is fucking way too much paranoia up in this thread.

There is some downtime, relax, remember LE's best way of compromising SR is to spread misinformation throughout the forum... Obviously with downtime its a perfect opportunity to go ahead and spit some bullshit so its whole community starts to doubt itself.

Sorry, but it's obvious that it is a little bit more than "some downtime". I think it is neither parnaoia nor conspiracy theory to assume, that SR is under attack. It's just logical deduction.

Got anything to back up your 'logical deduction' ?

Other than an illogical assumption of course.

Of course I got, my back up is just experience. What is going up with SR since almost a week is definetley not just a "Scheduled Maintenance", everyone can see, that they have really big problems to keep the site on and stable. And an attack as a reason for those problems is not such irrational.

When claims like that come from random new accounts on an anonymous forum do you even need to ask if they are false?

shook: those are false.

DPR:  IDEA!  Have SR's onion address just access the login page, on a VM or server separate from the rest of the website but still with access.  Upon login, check credentials, and see if the user is either a vendor or a buyer with outstanding orders, and if so, forward them off to a separate temporary server with different resources, that way people hammering the login page or who aren't qualified, or if someone is DDoS'ing the site (over TOR? hmmm seems unlikely without us observing it in network traffic from key nodes!), well, then they wouldn't have the active / real url 'less they were one of the above user types.

I’ve been on this Thread all week.
To summarize, yesterday vendors were allowed on to settle up outstanding orders etc. Last night I did manage to get onto the site… I wanted to get my wallet URL and transferred some coins in there.
Many  thought  yesterday, that today would be the day users could log back in a place orders, essentially that everything would go back to normal.
Now, we can’t even get the login screen. Bit of a nightmare really.

My big fear now is that SR will have lost a lot of vendors who have been spooked etc, can any vendors confirm if they managed to transfer out BTC yesterday ?????

A vendor....yes I transferred 5 btc out of SR yesterday as a test. Did not want to loose all if something went wrong on the way.
Today online one time but the minute you have to open something else or reload its gone....
Now a lot of comments but the one I need to hear....from the one who make this all possible (or not) not a word so far since yesterday.
Does not sound good so far and slowly start to look for alternatives -as i think more vendors are-

Remember when Dread said they had to sleep and would get back on it? Well they did, didn't they? and it worked, and they probably are just waking up to this now.

Time will tell.

Everything was back up for buyers, with outstanding, and finalization orders pending, I was able to leave feedback, release funds, even placed a new order. By the time Europe started falling asleep, it got super fast! I had 5-6 screens going in seperate windows, and under 5 second load times. Then around 3am NY time, so like UK, Germany, etc, that was your "wake up" time, and those in earlier time zones, India, etc, were getting on. It started to get real slow real fast, and then Kaput! - Overloaded servers.

The conspiracy theorists came out of the woodwork with newbie accounts mostly, I mean you'd be crazy not to have at least a 1% possiblity that it was something other than the "rush hour" effect. Too many cars, and not enough lanes to carry them all. Backups, gridlock (NYC term when the entire intersections lock up).

Take a "wait + see" attitude. - Then again, I only stand to lose a few hundred. I don't have the luxury of knowing what it's like to have 500 btc's or more. That is a the gamble you take on here. Some are higher rollers than others.

I have a gut feeling, it will come back. I mean last night (8 hours ago) - It was like the good old days, and I had forgotten all about the stoppage. You'll see, it will come back. Much more money to be made.

"You gotta know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em" - as the song goes. It is by far too early in this game for the casino to close.

Lot's of servers used worldwide are centered in the financial district of NYC, some of which is still flooded from Hurricane Sandy, so there are a lot of things to take into account. DPR is not just going to come out and share that, I know, because I installed many of them after 9/11. Not an IT pro, just a technician, but I learned a lot that Fall+Winter of 2001, and how bandwith is sold, at night for instance when the NYSE is closed, those servers are humming away like it's opening bell and Apple just announced it's new flying car!

Lot's of forces at work here people. Kind of have to look from "outside of the box" - to use an annoying corporate cliche. Keep the faith!

Just venturing a guess, it's like the captcha is stalling, and just spitting out what it can, the whole engine is failing, so we're like getting low output on features like that. I haven't gotten even that far for over an hour. - I try not to hit "Try Again" too much, and we should all try to halt that as much as possible. It's like blowing your horn in a traffic jam.

A newbie at the forum- not so much into forums- but a 9 month vendor at SR ...
Before the big breakdown it was very slow now and then....most irritating but...you go with what you get.
Also before it was very busy so i don't understand why now all of a sudden the ''flooding'' would cause this problem.
But, what was said is also right....DPR probably just got up :-) Hopefully he update soon so we know what to expect.
What is a bit worrying though is that the system does not have a proper backup plan.
Think when so many people are dependent on this it should have
 But....i am no IT specialist so what do I know.
Hope we can start selling again soon.

New to forums but not silk road, this is becoming quite irritating, the site is down again, I was accessing it yesterday but it was only working like 1 in every 10 times i tried, now it is down again

the good news is that it has been back up again, today it started procesing some BTC payments for me and it seems as though some users are still able to log on.. I was able to log on this morning but now it seems to be struggling again.

my guess is that vendors and customers from all over the world are trying their best to log on to sort orders, answer PM's etc and all that extra load probably makes the recovery process even tougher!

i have confidence in that the team is working hard to resolve this (they are loosing more money than anyone else because of this) and i sincerely think that DPR has done a great job regarding the updates .. of course he can't delve in to the technical details of the recovery process - this being a 'stealth site' and all - but updates are coming and progress is obviously being made.

An emergency mode where you could only withdraw funds and update existing order statuses and cancel existing orders would be ideal. Kinda unlikely though, either the servers are available and working or they aren't.

I doubt it is impossible, but having a tor site with redundant hardware in separate physical locations sharing one set of data to offer virtually no down-time is clearly no easy task.

Yah they just need to make a cluster, so they have redundancy.  DPR should create his own "pirate cloud". lol

But he should have at least two sources from different sides of the world to create a cluster.

We have been discussing on a different thread the possibility of DPR somehow losing control of the situation and SR going away forever.

I think it's prudent to have development of a silk road imitation development project, so that if worse comes to worse we can at least pick up the pieces and move forward.

LOL! - I mentioned that about 6-7 hours ago in this thread! Then I come on a little while ago, and people are saying, - those damn Americans are waking up, THATS what it is !!!

Funny how we think the same way.

Anyway, it's working here, working there. I got my speed in the mail, so I don't care!! 

La di da, La di da.

OK, I'll stop.

There are other sites like this. Check out Blackmarket Reloaded. If I'd found that before SR, I'd be shopping there. A lot of vendors are on both sites. I made an account yesterday, and it's very close to this site, just looks a little older, software wise. Like before SR updated the site this summer with the smoother edges.

Oh and karma you get to give or take away after like 100 posts or something. You could be a seller on here for a year, but your rating on the forums is just based on how many posts you make. Really makes no sense. There's like parts of this forum that discusses Dungeons and Dragons (I know, crazy, right?) - They go on and on. Other subjects too. Then they have HERO STATUS on the forums, because they simply cannot shut up!!! LOL!

Server is still up and running, just really really really really hard to get a connection to.

DPR should just disable CAPTCHA. With no new registrations, what good can someone do with a bot and an SR account other than spam a few messages (like they do on this forum, but unlike the forum they cant re-register after ban)? Waste of precious bandwidth and CPU resources if you ask me.

Title: Re: update
Post by: stateless on November 15, 2012, 03:28 pm
bincofone, you have had a series of very useful posts that would probably help give DPR a new direction to try. 
Your logic is sound.  I encourage you to start a thread SPECIFICALLY design to security and networking.
Those who are especially savvy with the Tor network should due their duty to help put out this fire.

There are probably a half million or more bitcoins in people's wallets.

If this shit goes down badly, the price of bitcoin will drop significantly and we will see the market in general wane with bitcoin.
It will be great for some, and horrible for others.  But it will shake the market is the worst part.  It will discourage interaction with bitcoin.

I think we need to keep bitcoin strong.  Whether that means we create a new and improved alternative to SR and BMR.   Or if we try to reach out to DPR and help him in what ever generic but hopefully useful ways that we can.

This thread that you started is very valuable.  HERE HERE!!

so you work for BMR huh..?
i doubt ure simply as retarded as your posts suggests, itd be too obvious. take rest of ur guys n piss off would ya..

cant keep SR down forever, we'll just come out of this even stronger and things like this'll be what will eventually make SR bulletproof.
BMR or not, degradation of SR will not be accepted and if deemed fit may be retaliation, by then this should be secure to handle any returning storm. 

trust me- this behavior (and possible mischief u fools seem likely to be related to) will not pay off for you in the long run.

Binofcone - great point. Assuming DPR isn't touching down in Belize right now with a suitcase full of money. - He really needs to hire some new blood. Minds like yours are what saves companies/sites like these.

Speaking of which. We are coming up on 15 hours since the last UPDATE!

Oh Dread??? Wakey Wakey !!!! Please!

I gotta get off here, and occupy my mind with something else for a while.

Those of you looking can always check out the competitor site. Doesn't look so bad to me. Here's the link http://5onwnspjvuk7cwvk.onion.to/index.php  looks quite similar to SR. Also there hasn't been any Gawker bitches writing news stories about it. No Up-Chuck Schumer's sticking their big NOSE into that site either.

I'll bet BlackMarket Reloaded is making a killing off this outtage  - Maybe it's the same guys! It's set up almost exactly the same. Just has a different appearance.

you make me laugh with the scenario lol! your probs defo right about the whole of europe wakin up and loggin on!
i gotta get off here too , meant to be a workin! Take it cheesy for now peeps 

Binofcone - great point. Assuming DPR isn't touching down in Belize right now with a suitcase full of money. - He really needs to hire some new blood. Minds like yours are what saves companies/sites like these.

Speaking of which. We are coming up on 15 hours since the last UPDATE!

Oh Dread??? Wakey Wakey !!!! Please!

I gotta get off here, and occupy my mind with something else for a while.

Those of you looking can always check out the competitor site. Doesn't look so bad to me. Here's the link http://5onwnspjvuk7cwvk.onion.to/index.php  looks quite similar to SR. Also there hasn't been any Gawker bitches writing news stories about it. No Up-Chuck Schumer's sticking their big NOSE into that site either.

I'll bet BlackMarket Reloaded is making a killing off this outtage  - Maybe it's the same guys! It's set up almost exactly the same. Just has a different appearance.

OH well. later people

jagfug, thank you for the kind words. Your signature gave me a good chuckle :)

I'm glad I source my weed IRL so even with no SR I can still sit back, listen to some rain falling, and smoke some cones 8) My amphetamine use is still at the mercy of SR at the moment, caffeine tolerance is getting quite high as a result :(

I doubt DPR would run off with the coins, but these actions would make perfect sense if that was your plan.

Captcha should be an option, if you have a complex password thats 16+ characters with numbers letters symbols and capitols you would be dead before any one could crack it.

jesus this has nothing to do with passwords, its has to do with pc load time of captchas,  thanks for your brilliant input though, really 16+ digit passwords are good? no way!
His statement makes sense.  The capcha protects against brute force password attacks.  Having a long password makes such attacks drastically less feasible.

Dude, we are talking about a man behind a computer, not in a real fight. I think that taking two minutes to write anything to reassure people, or at least to show he is still there, would definitively be doable.;) Or maybe he's having a bigger issue than a DDOS attack.

If there will be no update from the admins today, I think it could have two reasons. Either they feel embarrassed because they have temporally lost control (whatever the problem may be) or they have switched the sides and the restricted access was a big honey pot for the vendors. I hope I am wrong in both cases, so other suggestions are welcome.

Hey gang,

We're still getting things set up.  Nothing new to report.  Obviously I can't say much, but we are redeploying the entire system and it is taking lots of time to get all of the data properly backed up and where it needs to be, not to mention thoroughly testing the changes we are making to the system that will hopefully give us enough head room to grow multiple times again.

I'm fully aware that Silk Road isn't your only choice and that my reputation is on the line right now.  We are working on all of these issues in parallel and will be slamming the caffeine until we are up and stable.

Your next update will come no later than 5 am EST.

Cheers,
DPR

PS - I hear everyone's hopes and fears.  This is a stressful time for some of us.  I'm taking this opportunity to find a calm center as the situation whirls around me and I keep pressing forward, calm and clear.  This won't be the most challenging situation I'll face I am sure and it is good practice.  Good luck to each of you as you get through this with me :)

Wish you all the good luck mate. 8)

checking DPR's profile it seems he was active a while yesterday until his last post about 11 hours ago.
so guess its likely he is/has been sleeping and this new downtime started right after he whent to sleep (maybe calculated by attackers for max impact..), but then hopefully will be awake soon within the coming hours or so^^
so atleast how it appears to me theres nothing unusual with his absence then, everyone needs sleep. hopefully he's doing well and was just sleeping and will come with some new updates soon then..
or anyone know anything else?

DPR's was online 11 hours ago, dont mean that he isn't working on SR for that 11 hours... one thing is SR's, other is the forum. On his update thread he say when will be the next update, maybe he just come here to tell us how he is going ...

Unless someone has absolute proof that SR's been compromised, then let's not feed the trolls. There was a similar incident last year around this time. SR was unavailable for a week or so and came back online stronger than before. We're not gonna know what's going on for sure until DPR tells us.

I doubt the forums get anywhere near the traffic that the main site gets.  For every person checking the forums to see what is up with the site, there are probably quite a few members just trying to log in without ever visiting here.  At least, that's been my experience with other sites.  I don't know how that translates to this type of site.

I actually keep on having problems getting here, in fact my connection timed out just trying to write this reply.  But obviously this is nowhere near as annoying as not being able to get on the main site.  I'm just hoping the couple of orders I managed to make last night were seen and processed, although if I was a vendor don't think I'd be posting anything atm just in case the site doesn't come back up again.

Yeah I do have experience with torrents being on most of the quality private sites for years and also having been a Mod on a couple of them.  And when their sites go down they announce it through forums on other sites, or nowadays through twitter, you don't just get a total information black out.

Why can't people grasp simple programming concepts. What you see on your SilkRoad page is just a number, they're not actual bitcoins. I'm not claiming DPR has taken them, I'm just enlightening you on basic logic. No need to thank me :)

no we are all here (103 pages) for fun.....:-)

That there are problems okay but I am here since 8 this morning (EU time) now14 hours and no update so far
Yesterday you got the idea that something was done....
I think when you have a site like this with so many people depending on it the least you can do (without giving detailed info) is keeping some of the progrees in the open.
As a vendor I also want to know if all is safe, have a lot of btc in escrow...a lot.
Already looking for other sites like Blackmarket reloaded just because of the lack of info.
They probably work their ass off to get it right but they have to think about the ones who made this big too....the buyers and the sellers.

I just got the login screen for the first time since like 9 hours ago when we were getting 3 characters. This time no characters. I clicked on the reload image, but nothing. I right-clicked on the image space, and it (Firefox) gave me interesting info. I should've screen shot it. Basically said I was accessing a non secure website, and that I had never visited this website before.

Interesting. Of course I hit "Go' and back to "problem loading page".

I've been out and about and only one other person I know who knows about and uses this site hasn't had much luck, not a vendor., just a buyer like me.

That's my personal update.

I've been a member for a while but a first time poster on the forums. The site may be down again as of today the 15th. I have tried during different intervals all day  to log on but to no avail. I think too many people trying to get on crashed the server or it could be any number of issues we just are not aware of. I would like to say this though......................

Just give us an update and perhaps shut down to traffic for just vendors only so that all of the people who placed orders yesterday (for the brief period the SR was available!) can get those processed and shipped out before opening up the site for all users. I myself placed an order and was hoping it would be processed today, but i have no way to tell if the vendor has done that yet. But patience is a virtue and I have plenty.

*******PS!!!!!!!!!! While typing this post i was able to log in and am currently on the SR...............PEOPLE PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING THOUGH.........PLEASE EVERYONE, TRY NOT TO JUMP ON ALL AT ONCE. GIVE THE VENDORS A CHANCE TO TAKE CARE OF SOME BACK ORDERS AND ALLOW BTC TO BE DEPOSITED FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM. THINK OF YOUR FELLOW SR COMMUNITY AND KARMA WILL BLESS YOU!

i think many users are unsettled due to the fact that no information updates are coming in from dpr.
it would be nice if we could hear some words about the status and/or problems that the site was facing.

dont get me wrong,
i hope this site will never die, hail to the pirate and his crew,
but if the boat starts to sink the rats will leave the boat if they are not held back by some words of the leader...even if they drown in cold water ... :-)

boy i'm stoned again....

I'm a vendor...
When reading the posts I wonder...why the admiration for DPR?
 He is just someone who made a website like many did before (e bay, amazon and many local selling sites as we all know)...but for drugs.
Having at least 25 million dollar of sales a year and the commission coming from that makes a real good income I think.
That is why I think it is only normal to keep the site working properly...vendors pay an amount of bitcoins (35 I think it was) and !!commission (buyer and vendors) with every sale to even get the chance of selling.
I get the idea that people are thankful for this....we are just providing income for the founders.....
I'm happy that it is working again but seeing what i payed in commission and fees its not more than normal....I PAYED FOR IT RIGHT ?
There are more sites like this ...blackmarket reloaded as example is almost the same.
Again, as a vendor I pay enough..... I need quality..at least an explanation  when it goes wrong....
Yes I am happy that it is working but also angry not getting an update why ''my'' site  (I am one of many who keep this alive) is not working properly

mnnn that is about the argument I counted on...about my mom an so on...real mature....
Every seller/buyer can land in jail so.....
 do you think its more admirable doing something that is illegal to make a shitload of money....
Being just a IP number you are hiding from what ever.
Do you think DPR is taking a chance ....of course not...you/he do this calculated.
Dont make a hero of somebody for making money ....lots of it!!
Why do people smuggle drug to whatever country and end up in jail....FOR THE  MONEY
You make a site like this for the money...because the risk is to high just to do for fun or for the sake of ''freedom''.

Mate the SR Support people asked me to send them the information for the 150 BTC that's missing from my account that was deposited during the outage including what SR BTC address (the same one I still have) and after giving the the block chain info page link in the first message. I replied within ten minutes of receiving their message with the complete history of the transaction details and again the block chain link and that was 15 hours ago. The block chain showed the coins sitting in my SR account until the 14th when they were sent out to random weird addresses. None of my replies to the support people have even been read. Seriously mate you need to get this sorted out. This is my SR username to, feel fee to check the messages I've sent with all the details.

Kind regards - JWM

UPDATE (2326 UTC 11/15/2012): Might not have to take the site down after all.  I'll let you know here if we do.  A side note about withdrawals:  There have been a ton of them (understandable), so we are getting through them as fast as possible.  Please be patient if we haven't gotten to yours yet.

UPDATE (2254 UTC 11/15/2012): The site went down again and there are people claiming to be responsible for it and making threats.  I don't want to take any chances, so the site is going to come down for a bit while we investigate what is going on.  Hopefully this is short lived... what drama!  Next update will come before 0600 UTC.

UPDATE (2355 UTC): Deposits are working.  All outstanding deposits have been processed, and future deposits will be processed as usual.  If you sent a deposit before or during the outage and your account has not been credited, message support so we can investigate your issue.  Some withdrawals have been processed, but there is still a queue we are working through.  I'll update when withdrawals are back to normal.

UPDATE (2052 UTC): Current members now have full access to Silk Road.  Registrations are still closed until we are certain we can handle the additional traffic.  We are still unable to process deposits and withdrawals, but are getting very close.  I will start a new thread with some commentary on this whole situation once we are running 100%.

UPDATE(0850 UTC): Silk Road is available once again, but on a limited basis.  New user registrations are closed for the time being.  Access is limited to vendors only.  New deposits and withdrawals (and any that were sent just before or during the outage) will not be processed until some time in the next 24 hours.  Assuming all goes well, access for all current members will be made available some time in the next 24 hours.

UPDATE (0012 UTC):  Sorry I'm late on this update, won't happen again.  We're pretty much polishing and going down the final check list at this point.  I'm confident we'll make our "matter of days" estimate and this won't be drawn out into week+ territory (assuming nothing goes wrong when we reopen).  When we reopen, access will be limited to vendors only for a few hours so they can mark packages shipped that were sent but not marked before we went down.  Also, auto-finalize and auto-vacation haven't been running since Sunday, and we won't fire those back up for a couple of days after we reopen so everyone can get square first.  Can't wait till this is behind us :)  Next update before 1500 UTC Wednesday.

UPDATE (1113 UTC): I and the team need sleep.  Getting really close now, home stretch (hopefully).  Next update will come before 2300 UTC, Tuesday.

UPDATE (0924 UTC): I know you won't like hearing this, but we aren't quite there yet.  We are working hard and getting closer though.  Next update will come before 1600 UTC.

Hello everyone,

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

UPDATE (0012 UTC):  Sorry I'm late on this update, won't happen again.  We're pretty much polishing and going down the final check list at this point.  I'm confident we'll make our "matter of days" estimate and this won't be drawn out into week+ territory (assuming nothing goes wrong when we reopen).  When we reopen, access will be limited to vendors only for a few hours so they can mark packages shipped that were sent but not marked before we went down.  Also, auto-finalize and auto-vacation haven't been running since Sunday, and we won't fire those back up for a couple of days after we reopen so everyone can get square first.  Can't wait till this is behind us :)  Next update before 1500 UTC Wednesday.

UPDATE (1113 UTC): I and the team need sleep.  Getting really close now, home stretch (hopefully).  Next update will come before 2300 UTC, Tuesday.

UPDATE (0924 UTC): I know you won't like hearing this, but we aren't quite there yet.  We are working hard and getting closer though.  Next update will come before 1600 UTC.

Hello everyone,

I'm alive, I'm safe.  Luck would have it that the first time I'm away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I'm the only one that can bring it back up.  As soon as we are sure there haven't been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running.  If anyone's orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we're back up.  I'm terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems.  I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

UPDATE (2326 UTC 11/15/2012): Might not have to take the site down after all.  I'll let you know here if we do.  A side note about withdrawals:  There have been a ton of them (understandable), so we are getting through them as fast as possible.  Please be patient if we haven't gotten to yours yet.

UPDATE (2254 UTC 11/15/2012): The site went down again and there are people claiming to be responsible for it and making threats.  I don't want to take any chances, so the site is going to come down for a bit while we investigate what is going on.  Hopefully this is short lived... what drama!  Next update will come before 0600 UTC.

UPDATE (2355 UTC): Deposits are working.  All outstanding deposits have been processed, and future deposits will be processed as usual.  If you sent a deposit before or during the outage and your account has not been credited, message support so we can investigate your issue.  Some withdrawals have been processed, but there is still a queue we are working through.  I'll update when withdrawals are back to normal.

Are you kidding? I don't care if you feel better getting a chance to boast about you "have moved about 750BTC", that's still irrelevant.  So just because the funds i deposited to SR about a week ago to my two accounts weren't as much as 750BTC I should just forget about SR Support not answering my questions about where my money went and when I'll get them back?

Barely anyone in the same situation as me has talked about some "ridiculous conspiracies". We just want our money from SR but SR Support won't even answer us! So stop it with the bullshit. Because right now it's SR Support acting like kids not even reading the complaints.

I don't know what your guy's problem is with these ridiculous conspiracies. I have moved about 750BTC through my buyer accout and vendor account today, no problems whatsoever.

That is more than enough money for someone to "notice" and "lose in the system".

If I haven't been scammed with my movements, the idea that you kids and your pithy 10 -> 100BTC transactions getting "lost" is ludicrous.

Ya i'm gettin the same. keep getting kicked back to the login. trying to see if any orders have got marked in transit so I can finalize. So hopefully that might ensure they will get sent if any vendors are nervous of the coins not reaching them if their stuck in escrow and the site goes down again. Then there's the chance i'll do that and the it will go down after and the vendor won't be able to get on for a day or 2. Hopefully they manage a proper fix soon.

Just went from having this only-digit-captcha and jumping over and over to the log-in page instead of getting in to actually getting in.
Everything seems pretty fine. I hope for it to long.
Though as  a newbie I seem to have a dubious right to ask some stupid questions, and here it is:

I can't see "the reviews" bar on the main page of SR. Does anyone? Did it move somewhere else or is this useful function gone?

It seems I typed it right in the time with OP updating. Nice.
The questions still stays for me.

SR Support msgd me 20+hrs ago asking for the exact SR BTC wallet address it was sent to which is the same one I currently have and it was given to them in the first message with the link to the block chain info page on it.

I've sent numerous messages and none have even been read since!

You're not alone...

all deposits and withdrawals should be up to date, so if you have an issue you need to contact support

I responded to supports initial query within ten minutes of them making it to provide the SR BTC address my funds were deposited into and did more than that, I supplied the transaction details plus the block chain link, and not one of my replies has been read let alone replied to DPR!

Thanks DPR looking through these posts over the last week i really dont understand what the fuck some of these clowns are even doing on SR totally ungrateful and clueless. They are the ones who give substance users a bad name. I am fully aware some need their meds but also they need to learn this is a cottage industry and things go wrong from time to time. It also don't help matters when you have morons moaning that despite retrying 30 times an hour for hours on end the sites still down. No shit! unless your in the middle of a transaction use your brains and stay away a few days until things are stable again. hitting reload constantly and moaning the sites down is like a gang kicking the fuck out of you whilst moaning that you wont stand on your feet. just chill out and everything will be good in a few days. much love and peace x

Regarding the 4th: Doubtful as I get a response on the forums as opposed to on SR itself  ;)

And I understand there may be hundreds of messages for them to go through, thats understandable. But to provide such an absolute statement when I am not the only one in this situation just makes me want to lawl. As I said, i'll be waiting.

Has anyone that sent a deposit before the outage actually gotten their coins yet?  I sent a small amount of coins on the 9th expecting to buy something, and still haven't gotten them, yet when I deposited some earlier today they made it in less than 2 hours.  The only response I have been able to get is that Withdrawals and Deposits aren't working when this is obviously not the case.  I have been waiting patiently but it is annoying not knowing what is happening with the coins I purchased.

As my previous posts explain, no I have not received the BTC that I deposited on the 9th. Until this happens there is no way I could let myself deposit more. I'd like answers before that. Or my money. That would be better.  :)

There's several members here including me who are having problems with the bitcoins actually showing up on sr after depositing, but also lots of members who seem to have it working perfectly. Here's a thread someone started concerning this problem:

Yeah the amount I deposited today was smaller than the initial amount, which was small enough to begin with.  Anyway what I have confirmed is that my address does work, and that the btc that I sent on the 9th appears to be lost somewhere.  I have no idea what happened to it, but I know that I am able to receive btc.

Anyway I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that actually has gotten there btc from pre-sr crash.  I'm guessing the answer is most if not all of us have not but it would be reassuring to know if someone actually has.

exactly. BTC is sent to SR wallet address. then laundered to dp rob's own wallet. it's an obvious scam

or it's using the wallet mixer system described on the site. read it idiot.

Yes, this guy has been proven to be full of shit every page of this thread.  From the site not coming back because we were being robbed to this.  Wrong with every word.  No one, no one has taken a word you have typed seriously...yet you persist.  It must be because you are a sad a lonely person and the porn must not be doing it for you anymore.

Can you please send us the entire bitcoin address that you sent it to here on SR?

~SR Support

I had already sent them the block chain info page link for my address with the original msg that was my SR deposit account anyway and they should have never had to ask that IMO, it's very disconcerting. I gave them the whole transaction statement from my BTC wallet now I'm wondering am I helping someone I shouldn't?

Post by: dopey on November 16, 2012, 04:58 am
Dear SR boys n girls,
Things are working their way out and thats great. Current members are slowly getting things going. Im waiting for a different kind of update: when can I sign up for a new account? Im not your normal situation. How many vendors are losing sales because new members who have been waiting to sign up are looking more and more at other options. Before anyone goes off on loyalty to SR I think judging by this last "situation" (what does your dealer usually tell you? A "situation" came up but I will come through) people behave as they do in the streets when it comes down to it. This is business and where as there are always going to be pros and cons (security included) there will (just like the street) always be those other guys you call when you cant reach your normal hookup. How many loyal SR users found themselves browsing other sites more during this time? How much more did business increase for other sites? DPR has been losing money during this "situation". Im sure its alot so I know his best interest is in getting things going. Not to mention the stress has got to be just as bad as it is for some of the members on this board during this time. Just in a different way. Bravo on not getting caught up in it. So im not trying to be a hammer on anyone I just want to make it loud and clear that there are new users still waiting to sign up. My significant other gets the account we used together (I got the dog!) so before anyone makes too big of an assumption about me I have been here just like you. I didnt lose any BTC or anything but I have been waiting and reading just like the rest. Starting over has alot of complications for a buyer just think about it. I will NOT mention the other name either-to anyone. We are 2 seperate individuals with seperate habits and behaviors. I do not want to be associated with that account or person. So I figure now that I have addressed a larger scope of the "situation" and have brought perspectives to other users "situations" that maybe I can get DPR to notice my comment and mention whats up in an update (thats what IM waiting for) or maybe a fellow user has an idea im not aware of. I will NOT buy someone elses account. Im not going to even say anything about that.
Love and kisses.

GAH I still got nothing. I did give them the address I sent it to along with the proof in the block explorer first message though. It's even more disconcerting since it's like they're telling you "hold on, we're gonna check this technically" and for me it's like they don't even know what to say.

Not that this actually is the case, I'm sure they have tons of messages that they have to go through before they get to mine. I just hope I ain't down 32 bitcoins.

If you idiots are trying to scam SR, you can go fuck off.

If you do not have a record of your "missing" transaction, they should tell you to politely fuck off.

I am so sick of reading bullshit. Sure it was fun in the midst, but some of you keep railing on after it's been confirmed by many ACTUAL USERS that the site works fine and hell, vendors have been withdrawing huge amounts of BTC. If there's no scam with that, there won't be one for your pity 10BTC.

Just because things are working for others and yourself does not mean it works for everybody. Needless to say we've all sent the sr support team messages, but you can understand the frustration of missing money, no? Or are you a saintly person perhaps? Whatever the case is, we're complaining on the forums so that the issue is public. We've all got proof too.

If anything It without a doubt proved that there are many on here that are not ready to be in this sort of community...either physically or mentally.
This exercise has that you are responsible for every little thing you do on Silk Road and so take a minute to think at every move you make on the darknet should be as if you were playing chess with a competitor and nothing is worth face value.

I have no idea what actually happened and what went on behind the scenes to bring this place back online but it seems like it's been addressed in a very timely manner.   Yeah it sucks if you happened to have alot of btc tied up at the time it went down because obviously it's made alot of people freak...but from what I've seen dpr has always lived up to his promises.   If he says it will be taken care of it has been or will be.   Have faith but still be careful.

I deposited on the 10th and on the 14th my money from my SR account was removed through the block chain to unknown places. I contacted SR who asked me for the deposit address I sent it to, which I gave them, and then now it's been over 24hrs and I've heard nothing and to add insult to injury, I cahane my password, log in once with the new one, and now it doesn't recognise me at all.

I had to log in with my new account but at the moment I'm 150BTC out of pocket and I'm too scared to deposit more into my second one I was saving to become a vendor account or the one I can't get access to.

UPDATE (0225 UTC 11/16/2012): Withdrawals are up to date, so if you sent a withdrawal and it is taking much longer than usual to show up, please contact support so we can investigate.  Still a few things to iron out with the site (people getting logged off, etc), but I think we are just about there.

Damn straight I bet there's a lot of withdrawals

Anyone else having issues with bitinstant to SR bitcoin address deposits?  I deposited cash 9 hours ago at Walmart and I'm still waiting to see the bitcoins in my account.  I e-mail support.  Hopefully I get the bit coins soon.  Going to bed nervous in hopes support responds and helps me out.

I deposited on the 10th and on the 14th my money from my SR account was removed through the block chain to unknown places. I contacted SR who asked me for the deposit address I sent it to, which I gave them, and then now it's been over 24hrs and I've heard nothing and to add insult to injury, I cahane my password, log in once with the new one, and now it doesn't recognise me at all.

I had to log in with my new account but at the moment I'm 150BTC out of pocket and I'm too scared to deposit more into my second one I was saving to become a vendor account or the one I can't get access to.

Need help asap any ADMIN guys!!!

Donnyberger-
Im just curious but why would DPR want to block new registrations? If even more people are trying to get on isnt that a good thing? Do we (you) not want anymore users in SR or is it full? So the vendors that are there can have the existing buyers only. As time goes on and vendors fade away does DPR open it up to just new vendors? As well as you are restricting vendors to the existing members only. Where will new registers go? Thats where the vendors will follow to and SR will lose out on all of that business. When you say "a way to block all these morons" I assume you are refering to all the current members who flipped out while SR was down? Both vendors and buyers. As well as you must be refering to the existing members that are trying to scam for BTCs. Has nothing to do with new registers. I think the bottom line is you have an account and its working and thats all you are thinking about. Also if you consider the site going down and having its members freaking out about being ripped off is limelight I question your thinking all together. If anything it made members pull their BTCs out and others steer clear but thats what you would have anyway. New registers they wernt here when you were so by seniority that makes you superior. I have met people like that. They usually wont help other users (definately not newbies) and look at themselves as privlidged for "being there first" although they are just another one of the masses. Its easy to call others behaviors obnoxious when you have no investment in the object that is at risk. I would like to see (although I can predict) how you would behave if the situation was different. If you had a large amount of BTC or maybe someone elses tied up. Maybe you can afford to juggle the money around but not everyone can. Im not saying everyones reactions were sensible but there is a justifiable reason to be worried and for that and combined with their different characters and the variables of their addiction as well as their financial state--I understand as I think DPR does. Thus the reason he has handled this professionaly and not got caught up in the commotion. Everyone understands the risk and I dont think there is anyone who doesnt thank DPR and everyone else that contributes to what makes this all work (its not just DPR) but at the same time these people are also contributing to the community that is at the heart of this. They pay their fees and follow the rules. These people make the system possible and in that respect and in this particular case forgiveness and understanding should be at the top of everyones list right now. Then there is the other foot that you can try my shoe on: im a SR member who split with their significant other. I need to start an account of my own now. I have been waiting just like you. Should I be "halted" from registering a new account? What if it was you that just found SR like some of the new registers have. You remember how excited you were to see it? Well you cant join because your new. Hopefully you can understand where im coming from and you take this the right way. Try not to have a "spazathon" over it. ;)

dopey, why don't you go write your novel over at blackmarket reloaded.

I doubt SR will be taking new registers anytime in the near future, there's just too much on the plate as it is.

What with spam accounts, dumbass teenagers, threat of undercover LE, overall traffic and scamsters.... something that SR administration just doesn't have the time or energy to deal with ATM.

hope you understand.

Well for the time being the site has obvs been struggling so the obvious thing would be to do would be halt new users. Dpr has already commented on the ' explosive growth'
I dont think at the moment SR will lose any buisness.
It was mostly newbies who flipped out but thats my opinion.

Ive only just started as a vendor. after a week of it working out, it was down for a week so yes i can clearly see new ppl registering needs to be halted. I was also a buyer from near the start of SR so i can see how the issue has come about. Im thinking about all the decent vendors and buyers and future registrations. I would rather DPR took time to improve the site instead of allowing new accounts and crashing the site again. You will find the longer serving members didnt panic withdraw BTC's. Im not superior i just want the site to work. I understand there are decent sensible ppl who want to register an account. Im not saying they cant because they are new, im saying not having anyone new register is the sensible thing to do as the site cant handle it right. and a lot of the newbs comments on here arent going to help to persuade DPR to change his mind anytime soon.

I'm real proud of the spazathon everyone just had and I guess some are still going through, it was probably one of the biggest ones I've ever witnessed.
If anything It without a doubt proved that there are many on here that are not ready to be in this sort of community...either physically or mentally.
This exercise has that you are responsible for every little thing you do on Silk Road and so take a minute to think at every move you make on the darknet should be as if you were playing chess with a competitor and nothing is worth face value.


That being said I will also be going back to a vacation mode for the next how ever long I wish.
I will return doing my thing here when I see fit.

I appreciate the quotation marks on spazathon since it is my use of the word that you now misuse it.
Vendor accounts are more dangerous than buyer accounts. Sorry you lost your SR account access with your gf.bf whatever significant other means to you.
Barely missed the registration being open huh, I do not think personal issues with your love life are gonna hit a sweet spot in The Staff's hearts to make this one exception. I wished it had been invite only or 1 day a week randomly allowed to control userbase about 7 months ago. Too many abuse the system as it is, but never the less the registration is not closed forever so maybe your personal spazathon should relax down.

These threads are pointless. Registration will be allowed when it is allowed, no one even has a quote on why it is not currently allowed.

Fat people...
I dont need to write anything over at BMR they arent having these issues. Also I was respoinding to a comment left by another user which was not you. You dont think but that also means you dont know if SR will be taking new registers or not. So again your just another member who has a working account. You have no new information to give it just adds another posting to your count.
"What with spam accounts, dumbass teenagers, threat of undercover LE, overall traffic and scamsters" is this something new? You make it sound like SR is comprised of a bunch of scammers and dumbass teenagers. Good thing im not a new user or a dumbass teenager or a teenager for that matter (I just need a new account) or you might have made me feel as if SR is run by a bunch of half asses which I know its not. Its funny how you are treated in this forum under a different name. I dont think a newbie like yourself would have even commented if I wasnt using this new name. I know your just playing up to the users in this forum that are higher up then you but they are just people. Its a forum and if you have alot of time and HELP people you too can become a hero member. That doesnt mean you are better or that what you say is law. People can be wrong even if they have posted 1000s of postings and are a hero member. Looking at what I said in that posting (and I really dont see where it had anything to do with you or how it even provoked you other then what I said above) I dont think I was offensive at all. I think I speak for others when I wrote that. I know im not alone-maybe in the particular details but thats it. I want to get on just like everyone else . Im not some punk kid who just found SR while taking a break from WOW. I put my time in. I paid my dues meaning I have been ripped off in the ever persuit of creating a safer environment on SR. I have contributed to the community by being honest and being a loyal and frequent user. I have been here the same as everyone else. Treat me with respect and I will do the same. Writing novels is easy when you know the words. Hope you understand. If you need more clearification I can write these novels all day n night for you.

Agreed. I get that not being able to register a new a/c must be frustrating, but it's completely understandable given the last week or so of problems.  I wouldn't be surprised if 100's, if not 1000's of new account were being opened every day, and this massive spike in new a/c's may have contributed to the websites problems.  Of course the SR team want to grow the community, but it's gotta be done carefully.
Btw Nomad - I like your idea of 'account by invite only'. +1 karma.  I've only helped friends onto the Road who I know are reliable and trustworthy, and will appreciate this amazing marketplace.
Cheers,

I wished it had been invite only or 1 day a week randomly allowed to control userbase about 7 months ago. Too many abuse the system as it is, but never the less the registration is not closed forever so maybe your personal spazathon should relax down.

These threads are pointless. Registration will be allowed when it is allowed, no one even has a quote on why it is not currently allowed.

nomad bloodbath

The term you coined refers to the "situation" that took place here on SR (as I called it). The way I used it was in a sarcastic sense to imply that his reaction was of the same caliber. So I cant see it as being wrong in its use. You say vendor accounts are more dangerous then buyer accounts but based on what? What if im the president of the US? Do you think a vendor would face as much trouble as me? Also vendors have the ability to just drop off a package with no return address or a fake one if they like. Buyers have to recieve the items which is where it is usually caught at. So I think danger is a perspective. Do vendors risk more then buyers in transactions? Thats debateable and depends on different factors but I could see how that could be more dangerous. I got a divorce if you must know and it happens. Im not going to ask for the account from my lawyer. I use SR regularly so this has been a hard time especially for me--so thank you for saying your sorry although I feel it was sarcastic. I say significant other because I am not going to revel jack about myself anywhere if I dont have to. I dont care what anyone says if im vague I feel better. As far as looking for a sweet spot in the the staffs hearts that was never my intention. I am simply the voice that is asking when new registrations will be open and I explained my situation in case there was an alternative. I made sure that I made myself heard hoping that DPR might see it and throw out an update reguarding it. All of my posts have been calm. Never have I asked with pressure or impatience. Determination yes. The sad thing is do you know how many non-scammers contacted me asking if I wanted to buy an account? I say non-scammers because these are long standing members that have vendor accounts. So as far as im concerned this isnt always about community and safety its about money. Money always=greed. So while SR members may think theyre keeping the scammers out by not allowing new registers the members are selling accounts to anyone who will pay enough. Thats BS. No matter what you limit the members to you are going to have scammers its the nature of this business and in the online world. Limiting members isnt going to fix that something else has to be decided but I do understand and agree that something should be done. If there are more users then the system can handle then the thing to do would be expand to meet the market or put implements in place to weed out the scammers or else it will crash like it did/does. Otherwise other sites pop up offering the same things which is what is happening. Now I know that SR is great but other sites can reach this same height with work so its not as if SR will be the only option in years to come. There is a new site being built now that many members of this forum are assisting with so its not a matter of not being loyal to SR its just the way things go. People will always build bigger and bette/safer methods to the ones that are existing. Just to be clear I have not spazzed out or got angry irritated or frustrated at any point. Im able to exist without SR but who wants to do that? These threads have a way of going off on their own tangents so I know nothing is going to be solved here but I bet you DPR will see that new registers are in fact waiting now with these posts and make an announcement in the next update. Thanks for the banter back n forth I think this novel will be my last for today.

I was never too worried that it wouldn't come back, attribute that to faith or ignorance but I'm very pleased we're back up and running.  :)  So, what happened anyway?  Just a sentence or two would be awesome.  I'm sure it's been explained elsewhere but fuck me, there's a lot of spam in the forums.

Also I just want to bring one more thing up to everyone who has been reading these. I like everyone else have been waiting during the down time and I love seeing people sigh with relief seeing the site is back up but the whole time it was down I was here with you and I thought I would be able to get on when everyone else did. So it is hard seeing comments like its so nice....etc. knowing I have to still wait and judging by peoples attitudes I wouldnt get in at all if they had their way. I want to sigh with relief and get in touch with my favorite vendors. I have money but no outlet-yet. I am envious not jealous. I am no different then you. I only ask that you take one second to think about that. Apreciate what you have.

Thank You DPR running good ......................... keep this site up !!!!!! don't bring it down that's how all the waning juju happens ..... mirror it with second , third fourth, fifth mirrors ..... and multiple entrance urls so it takes too many resources to do an attack .... no matter what don't disappear its going to take some time to get credibility back.  Dude I'm so happy ... got a big throbbing SR boner right now. peace love happiness and keep on freaking freely.

Donnyberger-
Im just curious but why would DPR want to block new registrations? If even more people are trying to get on isnt that a good thing? Do we (you) not want anymore users in SR or is it full? So the vendors that are there can have the existing buyers only. As time goes on and vendors fade away does DPR open it up to just new vendors? As well as you are restricting vendors to the existing members only. Where will new registers go? Thats where the vendors will follow to and SR will lose out on all of that business. When you say "a way to block all these morons" I assume you are refering to all the current members who flipped out while SR was down? Both vendors and buyers. As well as you must be refering to the existing members that are trying to scam for BTCs. Has nothing to do with new registers. I think the bottom line is you have an account and its working and thats all you are thinking about. Also if you consider the site going down and having its members freaking out about being ripped off is limelight I question your thinking all together. If anything it made members pull their BTCs out and others steer clear but thats what you would have anyway. New registers they wernt here when you were so by seniority that makes you superior. I have met people like that. They usually wont help other users (definately not newbies) and look at themselves as privlidged for "being there first" although they are just another one of the masses. Its easy to call others behaviors obnoxious when you have no investment in the object that is at risk. I would like to see (although I can predict) how you would behave if the situation was different. If you had a large amount of BTC or maybe someone elses tied up. Maybe you can afford to juggle the money around but not everyone can. Im not saying everyones reactions were sensible but there is a justifiable reason to be worried and for that and combined with their different characters and the variables of their addiction as well as their financial state--I understand as I think DPR does. Thus the reason he has handled this professionaly and not got caught up in the commotion. Everyone understands the risk and I dont think there is anyone who doesnt thank DPR and everyone else that contributes to what makes this all work (its not just DPR) but at the same time these people are also contributing to the community that is at the heart of this. They pay their fees and follow the rules. These people make the system possible and in that respect and in this particular case forgiveness and understanding should be at the top of everyones list right now. Then there is the other foot that you can try my shoe on: im a SR member who split with their significant other. I need to start an account of my own now. I have been waiting just like you. Should I be "halted" from registering a new account? What if it was you that just found SR like some of the new registers have. You remember how excited you were to see it? Well you cant join because your new. Hopefully you can understand where im coming from and you take this the right way. Try not to have a "spazathon" over it. ;)

Well for the time being the site has obvs been struggling so the obvious thing would be to do would be halt new users. Dpr has already commented on the ' explosive growth'
I dont think at the moment SR will lose any buisness.
It was mostly newbies who flipped out but thats my opinion.

Ive only just started as a vendor. after a week of it working out, it was down for a week so yes i can clearly see new ppl registering needs to be halted. I was also a buyer from near the start of SR so i can see how the issue has come about. Im thinking about all the decent vendors and buyers and future registrations. I would rather DPR took time to improve the site instead of allowing new accounts and crashing the site again. You will find the longer serving members didnt panic withdraw BTC's. Im not superior i just want the site to work. I understand there are decent sensible ppl who want to register an account. Im not saying they cant because they are new, im saying not having anyone new register is the sensible thing to do as the site cant handle it right. and a lot of the newbs comments on here arent going to help to persuade DPR to change his mind anytime soon.

This is what im talking about. I agree with you in your clearified statement. I understand both sides but your original post came off in a different way or thats how I took it. I always say the problem with textsemails is there is no tone of voice. people shorten their thoughts and misunderstandings happen. Thanks for your professional response. I take back the points in which I thought you were presenting yourself as superior. ;D

This is not a rant or dig at you two i just thought it was relevant to the conversation

From all the retarded comments Ive been reading on this thread it seems that the ones who talk the most bollocks already have SR accounts, they are just new to the forum. I think its not so much about the quantity of customers but the quality of customers. There's been way too many ranting and raving because they might loose a couple of hundred quid. Boo hoo, these are the people who need to be ejected as they obviously have no idea about the drug trade. Id like to see them bitch and moan if they done a deal down a back alley and got a gun in their face and ripped off at the same time. Would they shout "well i don't get treated like this in my local supermarket!" The mugger would probably then shoot them for being so stupid. At least they don't have that fear here thats why they rant and moan and show themselves to be true morons. This is an illicit trade and sometimes shit happens. DON'T TREAT IT LIKE AMAZON!!! SR could be gone at anytime and its forum,then where you gonna go to cry? If you don't have it to loose don't leave it lying around in your SR wallet for convenience ! deposit only when your buying that way if it was to vanish you at least have cut down the damage to you. Maybe a trusted invite system is whats required so only existing members can induct new members rather than just any tom dick or harry getting access. That way at least their is some way of vetting new members and ensuring they are up to speed with the drug trade. Geeze i don't believe Ive had to state the obvious. Some people if they had brains they would be deadly.

Again lads this wasn't aimed at you but the 'community' or lack there of as a whole. Peace and love x

DPR,

    Thank you for all your hard work. Like many others I took things for granted. It's true what hey say: "You don't know what you've got till it's gone". A couple of months ago I was googling around trying to find some place online for pain meds. I stumbled across the Road and thought I'd found heaven. And when that heaven went away for a while I was lost and afraid. Thank you for keeping us updated via this thread. I hung on the edge of my seat for each update. I could tell that you were working very hard to get the Road back up and running. I think that a lot of things were said on the forum as a result of the fear and uncertainty people were feeling. Now I know just how much this place means to me. You are really making a difference in people's lives. Again, I sincerely thank you and your team for all your hard work and effort you put in.  ;)

Sincere Regards,

Some thoughts on what you said-not aimed at attacking you or anything. The people that have been making the most noise arent just new users to the forum. Its not a matter of how long you have been using the forums that determines behaviors especially when we could be talking about addicts. I just think some people reacted diffferently then others and depending on the feedback they recieved it could go one way or the other. Based on what I saw many other members didnt help the situation with their comments. Alot of people dont want to be told they are wrong for fearing their money is gone. They also dont want to be told that this is like a back alley dealer when before this the key focus has been on building a community that runs on trust. Speaking of the the back alley senerio isnt that why we are here anyway? To avoid that sort of situation. To act more as professionals. As far as the quality of the the members goes there will never be a way to get rid of scammers completely. The nature of the business and the online world makes it near impossible to run something like this without having troublemakers. Look at eBay no matter what they implement scammers get in and scam. The quality of user ranges on eBay just like it does here. Again I dont think limiting members will fix this. Membership fees might help weed out some but having invites by current members only means that the current members that are scammers can invite their scammer friends. Members will start selling accounts (like I have been offered) and then your right back where you started Its hard to have a site where you need to protect your identity but be able to verify members are not scammers. Even legit vendors turn into scammers sometimes so you cant be sure about anyone. Think about it.You say not to treat this like Amazon but why not? That is what we all would prefer isnt it? A site that is easy to use and you can buy what you want. Lots of options and lots of content. Maybe some buyer protection? I think you might have meant dont expect it to work like Amazon meaning there are scammers? Because there are scammers on Amazon too. I get the general point that SR is an underground operation and you cant expect it to have the same policys/behaviors that Amazon has but it could run with the same efficentcy (spelling?). The drug trade and back alley dealers are two different types of entities. In truth a professional in the drug trade runs things like a business and has many of the same practices that we use on SR. Where as a back alley dealer is someone who is usually an addict themselves who sells to support their own habit and that means your going to get screwed around. Many of us have been at this for MANY years working and suffering our way through these people to get to the professionals. We remember the back alley dealers though and that could be partially why some members flipped out. People have become acustomed to trusting SR not just their favorite vendors and when it looked like they wernt getting the response they wanted out of DPR it brought up old feelings of those past back alley dealers (B.A.D) not responding and robbing them. It makes a person feel like a fool when they get taken. Being experienced in this lifestyle makes you then kick yourself for thinking anything was different and you should have known better- until SR came back up. Then they realized they put their foot in their mouth. I have experienced this with my local vendors as well as in other situations in life where I jumped the gun and in those cases you have to be humble and just apologize and learn from the situation. True professionals will usually let it go--well I guess that depends on how bad you flip out and what you say/do. I think people understand its an illicit trade but that doesnt make it any better if you get ripped off. There are chances of bad things happening and people take them but its only human nature to complain or warn others to communicate the frustration/anger. If it did turn out that DPR split with the BTC would they have been morons then? Not just that but I think this is typical of a situation like this. A bunch of people get robbed-at first no one says anything because they think its just late. Then a few start to talk and gather information and worry. Then it starts one by one each person gives up on anything coming through at some point until everyone is talking about it and is in agreement. There are people like me that even though everyone has been ripped off and its clear I will still hold out doing anything besides talking about it until long after I should have. I wont jump the gun--learned from past mistakes. So everyone is different and I dont think anyone was wrong for worrying/being angry. Yes some of the comments were overboard but like I said everyone is different. SR could be gone at anytime its true but there are and will be others. Alot of people bad talk other sites (BMR) and wont accept anything other then SR in this business but alot more people including vendors use both sites. Where did alot of people go in the downtime do you think? I dont believe everyone just sat there or just used the forums to order. If you dont have local access and your connection is down what are you going to do? What do people do locally? Call someone you dont normally go see. Is that a lack of loyalty to your dealer? No its just business. With all the choices you have in your town to eat do you just visit the one? No you go where you are treated right where the food/prices are good and where it is convienient for you. You may have a favorite but that doesnt mean you wont go anywhere else. This is what would happen if SR was gone more sites would pop up and people would migrate over. So I agree people need to apreciate SR for the wonder that it is but to treat it as if it is the last of a dying breed is backwards.  There are people with the mindset that it takes them the buyers/vendors to make the business a business. Alot of people dont look at it like they are fortunate to be there but that SR is fortunate to have them. Not that I think that is the correct way of viewing things but others do. Also alot of these people didnt have BTC just sitting in their accounts. Not everyone just deposits BTC only when they need a quick buy. Some have BTC going back and forth all the time. Maybe they did just deposit it like you suggest but the site went down or others that made purchases but the vendors couldnt see or do anything so they did what you suggest but the timing was bad. thats just the buyers. Vendors that were waiting for escrow to release for purcahses shipped and the purchaes that are new orders that are waiting to be shipped-do they ship them? So alot of different situations could be the motivating force behind the (now I am using your word:) "spazathon" that took place here. All Im really saying is I think everyone needs to cut everyone a break. Those that flipped and those that didnt. You can understand someones motivations without condoning them. I dont think it is a matter of new/old members not understanding the drug trade either I agree that maybe some sort of tutorial could be written that would address what to do in the event of another "spazathon" (theres that word again!) sort of an in case of emergency guide. You wouldnt want me to write it. My forum postings are novels. Im sorry but its how I talk and how I write. I cant be brief no matter how I try. I read someone say that DPR will regain his credit in time after this is all over but I see it differently. The site went down and with people flipping out and all the stress that guy must have if there was going to be an oppourtunity and a reason (Its hard to fix, feds, scammers,etc) to split with everyones BTC this would have been it. Instead the guy breaks his ass getting it back up he avoids the shit flinging in here and he produces a near-finished site that sounds like it is running better and he is still at work. I know customer support was lacking in some areas but considering the amount of people that tried to contact them I can understand why that might be a factor. I imagine that as time goes by he will find ways to improve on that as well. This was most definately a learning experience for DPR as well as for us the members. I dont know if it will even happen again once the dust settles on this but if it does everyone will behave differently as well as DPR I think.  A positive thing has come out of this in my opinion and some will see it this way and some wont but I give MORE credit/trust to DPR now. His dedication and intentions seem clear to me if only for the time being although I dont think a time will come when his intentions change. These type of guys are in it to the end whatever that may be. This is his baby and he loves it. Makes me feel alot more confidence in SR. Wrote a novel here soaponarope but im just in a discussion with you not an arguement. :D

The people here are drug dealers and buyers. Not schoolgirls at a scout excursion.

I always must laugh if someone write shit like "we are a lovely community" and so on. Everybody have seen it now how lovely the community is if something goes wrong. Hundrets of silly crackheads gone wild .........  ;D

I am neither of those things, but I appreciate the community regardless.

Donnyberger-
Im just curious but why would DPR want to block new registrations? If even more people are trying to get on isnt that a good thing? Do we (you) not want anymore users in SR or is it full? So the vendors that are there can have the existing buyers only. As time goes on and vendors fade away does DPR open it up to just new vendors? As well as you are restricting vendors to the existing members only. Where will new registers go? Thats where the vendors will follow to and SR will lose out on all of that business. When you say "a way to block all these morons" I assume you are refering to all the current members who flipped out while SR was down? Both vendors and buyers. As well as you must be refering to the existing members that are trying to scam for BTCs. Has nothing to do with new registers. I think the bottom line is you have an account and its working and thats all you are thinking about. Also if you consider the site going down and having its members freaking out about being ripped off is limelight I question your thinking all together. If anything it made members pull their BTCs out and others steer clear but thats what you would have anyway. New registers they wernt here when you were so by seniority that makes you superior. I have met people like that. They usually wont help other users (definately not newbies) and look at themselves as privlidged for "being there first" although they are just another one of the masses. Its easy to call others behaviors obnoxious when you have no investment in the object that is at risk. I would like to see (although I can predict) how you would behave if the situation was different. If you had a large amount of BTC or maybe someone elses tied up. Maybe you can afford to juggle the money around but not everyone can. Im not saying everyones reactions were sensible but there is a justifiable reason to be worried and for that and combined with their different characters and the variables of their addiction as well as their financial state--I understand as I think DPR does. Thus the reason he has handled this professionaly and not got caught up in the commotion. Everyone understands the risk and I dont think there is anyone who doesnt thank DPR and everyone else that contributes to what makes this all work (its not just DPR) but at the same time these people are also contributing to the community that is at the heart of this. They pay their fees and follow the rules. These people make the system possible and in that respect and in this particular case forgiveness and understanding should be at the top of everyones list right now. Then there is the other foot that you can try my shoe on: im a SR member who split with their significant other. I need to start an account of my own now. I have been waiting just like you. Should I be "halted" from registering a new account? What if it was you that just found SR like some of the new registers have. You remember how excited you were to see it? Well you cant join because your new. Hopefully you can understand where im coming from and you take this the right way. Try not to have a "spazathon" over it. ;)

Well for the time being the site has obvs been struggling so the obvious thing would be to do would be halt new users. Dpr has already commented on the ' explosive growth'
I dont think at the moment SR will lose any buisness.
It was mostly newbies who flipped out but thats my opinion.

Ive only just started as a vendor. after a week of it working out, it was down for a week so yes i can clearly see new ppl registering needs to be halted. I was also a buyer from near the start of SR so i can see how the issue has come about. Im thinking about all the decent vendors and buyers and future registrations. I would rather DPR took time to improve the site instead of allowing new accounts and crashing the site again. You will find the longer serving members didnt panic withdraw BTC's. Im not superior i just want the site to work. I understand there are decent sensible ppl who want to register an account. Im not saying they cant because they are new, im saying not having anyone new register is the sensible thing to do as the site cant handle it right. and a lot of the newbs comments on here arent going to help to persuade DPR to change his mind anytime soon.

This is what im talking about. I agree with you in your clearified statement. I understand both sides but your original post came off in a different way or thats how I took it. I always sa'y the problem with textsemails is there is no tone of voice. people shorten their thoughts and misunderstandings happen. Thanks for your professional response. I take back the points in which I thought you were presenting yourself as superior. ;D

This is not a rant or dig at you two i just thought it was relevant to the conversation

From all the retarded comments Ive been reading on this thread it seems that the ones who talk the most bollocks already have SR accounts, they are just new to the forum. I think its not so much about the quantity of customers but the quality of customers. There's been way too many ranting and raving because they might loose a couple of hundred quid. Boo hoo, these are the people who need to be ejected as they obviously have no idea about the drug trade. Id like to see them bitch and moan if they done a deal down a back alley and got a gun in their face and ripped off at the same time. Would they shout "well i don't get treated like this in my local supermarket!" The mugger would probably then shoot them for being so stupid. At least they don't have that fear here thats why they rant and moan and show themselves to be true morons. This is an illicit trade and sometimes shit happens. DON'T TREAT IT LIKE AMAZON!!! SR could be gone at anytime and its forum,then where you gonna go to cry? If you don't have it to loose don't leave it lying around in your SR wallet for convenience ! deposit only when your buying that way if it was to vanish you at least have cut down the damage to you. Maybe a trusted invite system is whats required so only existing members can induct new members rather than just any tom dick or harry getting access. That way at least their is some way of vetting new members and ensuring they are up to speed with the drug trade. Geeze i don't believe Ive had to state the obvious. Some people if they had brains they would be deadly.

Again lads this wasn't aimed at you but the 'community' or lack there of as a whole. Peace and love x

Some thoughts on what you said-not aimed at attacking you or anything. The people that have been making the most noise arent just new users to the forum. Its not a matter of how long you have been using the forums that determines behaviors especially when we could be talking about addicts. I just think some people reacted diffferently then others and depending on the feedback they recieved it could go one way or the other. Based on what I saw many other members didnt help the situation with their comments. Alot of people dont want to be told they are wrong for fearing their money is gone. They also dont want to be told that this is like a back alley dealer when before this the key focus has been on building a community that runs on trust. Speaking of the the back alley senerio isnt that why we are here anyway? To avoid that sort of situation. To act more as professionals. As far as the quality of the the members goes there will never be a way to get rid of scammers completely. The nature of the business and the online world makes it near impossible to run something like this without having troublemakers. Look at eBay no matter what they implement scammers get in and scam. The quality of user ranges on eBay just like it does here. Again I dont think limiting members will fix this. Membership fees might help weed out some but having invites by current members only means that the current members that are scammers can invite their scammer friends. Members will start selling accounts (like I have been offered) and then your right back where you started Its hard to have a site where you need to protect your identity but be able to verify members are not scammers. Even legit vendors turn into scammers sometimes so you cant be sure about anyone. Think about it.You say not to treat this like Amazon but why not? That is what we all would prefer isnt it? A site that is easy to use and you can buy what you want. Lots of options and lots of content. Maybe some buyer protection? I think you might have meant dont expect it to work like Amazon meaning there are scammers? Because there are scammers on Amazon too. I get the general point that SR is an underground operation and you cant expect it to have the same policys/behaviors that Amazon has but it could run with the same efficentcy (spelling?). The drug trade and back alley dealers are two different types of entities. In truth a professional in the drug trade runs things like a business and has many of the same practices that we use on SR. Where as a back alley dealer is someone who is usually an addict themselves who sells to support their own habit and that means your going to get screwed around. Many of us have been at this for MANY years working and suffering our way through these people to get to the professionals. We remember the back alley dealers though and that could be partially why some members flipped out. People have become acustomed to trusting SR not just their favorite vendors and when it looked like they wernt getting the response they wanted out of DPR it brought up old feelings of those past back alley dealers (B.A.D) not responding and robbing them. It makes a person feel like a fool when they get taken. Being experienced in this lifestyle makes you then kick yourself for thinking anything was different and you should have known better- until SR came back up. Then they realized they put their foot in their mouth. I have experienced this with my local vendors as well as in other situations in life where I jumped the gun and in those cases you have to be humble and just apologize and learn from the situation. True professionals will usually let it go--well I guess that depends on how bad you flip out and what you say/do. I think people understand its an illicit trade but that doesnt make it any better if you get ripped off. There are chances of bad things happening and people take them but its only human nature to complain or warn others to communicate the frustration/anger. If it did turn out that DPR split with the BTC would they have been morons then? Not just that but I think this is typical of a situation like this.

To people who have been around here a while, like Megatron himself, there's more than meets the eye going on with SR and DPR...

I'm assuming you're relatively new based on that you've written four posts, probably all praising DPR and the "TEAM" but here's a fun fact for you, DPR who started this place is LOOOONG gone my friend and chances are exceedingly good LEO's now got control of this and using it as a honeypot service the outage. The mods and DPR'S writing style changed again to basically nothing but shit. Saying stuff like "Our beloved DPR will be on in 12hrs to address the situation" yet we appreciate the guy, the real DPR of old, but mods don't write that way and as for DPR's posts, they look more like a point form memo to a secretary to type up... any surprises there?

Those of us who have been around for a while know THE ORIGINAL DPR's an awesome guy, who likes to hang out in the forums and always ran a "tight ship" but since he sold the boat, (for way more than it will prove to be worth because the new LEO team who intercepted it soon after can't manage it properly being "white hats" most fresh out of their five year college courses, don't know WTF they're doing with criminal minds systems) he's a happy man who's sailed off into the sunset.

The team that took over gave it a pleasant new look, I'll give them that, but they weren't as tech savvy as THE DPR who oversaw everything, the system's security was shattered, (fucking spam bots could get in FFS) and people honestly think the NSA can't? LMFAO!

The reason they put shit up not working properly is to quell suspicions but also because the LEO IT guys had to almost reverse engineer the system to figure it out, as well as re-activate well known vendors who have been absent for months OFFICIALLY, in order to get some people buying off them again to start tracking and tracing things and infiltrating some syndicates, even though to the trained eye the prices and accounts aren't the same people, almost like a BMR knock off.

This new Govt support also explains the new blistering speed it's going at because after all, running off Pentagon supercomputers/servers it's going to be much quicker.

Every time you place an order your details BTC, address and name etc as well as what you've got will be recorded in their new automated system they would have put in there, and six to twelve months from now, Silk Road will make Farmers Market look like a street corner dime bag bust, as well as this they will have siphoned off and kept all BTC's they deem unnecessary to the operation and so at the end of all this shit they can say look how much we made for you the people from the "bad guys" and you can all rest easier now.

Silk Road makes between 20 and 30 million a year in sales, the illicit drug war earns over 400Billion, yet busting SR will look better to them than killing Bin Laden, Pablo Escobar and the Ramirez Brothers all at once, even though there's more value in drugs sitting in one little favela in Peru than everything SR has to offer!

I LOVED THIS PLACE AT THE START, NOW IT'S ABOUT DRUGO'S AND MONEY AND INSTEAD OF A FUNFAIR FEELS LIKE AN ARAB BAZAAR, NOT LOVE, LIBERTARIANISM FREE TRADE AND MUTUAL RESPECT... ESPECIALLY FROM THE SR "SUPPORT TEAM", A FUCKING MISNOMER IF I'VE HEARD ONE!!!

It's hard for people who've joined in the last 6-9 months to understand what we mean by how much it's changed and it's not the same place, but they'll learn, especially when LEO kicks in their doors to ruin their lives over some smack and a couple of grams of cocaine.

C'est la vi!

Be smart folks, and use PGP to send your details NOT the SR checkout system, if you have to use it at all. My advice, find good vendors and stick to them inside or outside SR.

Peace!!! - JWM

jesuswasajerk-
I didnt realize we were being graded on punctuation and grammar. This is a forum filled with alot more obvious examples of ignorance as well as alot of broken English and alot more grammar and punctuation errors then I made. Are you right there telling them the same thing? Policing the forums for correct punctuation and grammar thats your job. Because I have an opinion and I am detailed im insulted? Did I say anything that would be an insult to anyone including yourself? Have I attacked anyone like I have been? Where was I such a horrible person that I deserve to be insulted? Did you even bother to read what I wrote? If its just that you cant understand the words are too big I can simplify it for you. I have to say im apalled at this point. I have had to start up new accounts here and over at BMR and every response I have recieved on this forum has been unfriendly and attacking. Over at BMR I havent been spoken to like this once. I had never been treated like this here before the site went down and I wasnt a "newbie". I think some of you need a reality check here. Pretty sad the way some of you act so superior and better then everyone else. I know this isnt everyone and really consists of a just a handful of morons. This kind of business only comes back on itself. These things come out in the wash and if you are trying to keep people out of SR and kick everyone else out you can well then Jesus (ha talk about one STUPID name! How full of yourself are you?-Im shocked you would even mention mine) you must really think your are the son of God and that you can run SR as its only member or maybe just a small group of you and your "friends"  can have it and meanwhile other sites will pop up (and are popping up as I type). That would be better for you wouldnt it? So now you can stop hitting refresh waiting for my reply like a dog. You can reply with more of your petty uneducated comments all you want. The GREAT thing about this place is I dont have to come back to this forum and I can still join when registration opens. On top of all that those of you that feel since you are a member so no one else should get in its not going to happen. Nothing can and nothing will change. DPR is running this game not a handful of people/kids that have nothing but time to camp out in forums all day posting comments making threads and blogs and polls and whatever else you time wasters do. All you want is a good ass kissing a day for writing in these forums and getting your posting count up. Dont say no because I know your kind. You dont go outside you live here. So say something smart for your "friends" and think you got me they will all kiss your ass good but really they know it and you know it. Cant lie to everyone the proof is evident. If I dont see your reply or any other comments from your shitmouth in this forum for that matter I dont think my life will be affected. Since you are so worried about punctuation and grammar even though you cant read go ahead and edit my posting. Someone will tell you "good boy!" +1 and you can do a spin on your fat ass in your computer chair. Something just occured to me. If I was a vendor I wouldnt go around pissing people off in forums. That could be bad for future business. Other members see it and act accordingly. Not just that but in this business you dont piss off addicts they are horribly vengeful. Well your lucky im not like that and im lucky im not a vendor but that is something for everyone to consider if your a vendor. Think about it all the problems it could cause. Well I dont want to piss off any vendors I might want to use so this is my last novel and my last visit to SR forums. Never needed them before anyway.

I've read the few words from DPR today, again. I think he stands to the words he has written! I like it.

It was hard for me to keep cool over this period but now I'm happy that the Silk Road is back again . I hope it will keep so in future.

The reason they put shit up not working properly is to quell suspicions but also because the LEO IT guys had to almost reverse engineer the system to figure it out, as well as re-activate well known vendors who have been absent for months OFFICIALLY, in order to get some people buying off them again to start tracking and tracing things and infiltrating some syndicates, even though to the trained eye the prices and accounts aren't the same people, almost like a BMR knock off.

This new Govt support also explains the new blistering speed it's going at because after all, running off Pentagon supercomputers/servers it's going to be much quicker.

Every time you place an order your details BTC, address and name etc as well as what you've got will be recorded in their new automated system they would have put in there, and six to twelve months from now, Silk Road will make Farmers Market look like a street corner dime bag bust, as well as this they will have siphoned off and kept all BTC's they deem unnecessary to the operation and so at the end of all this shit they can say look how much we made for you the people from the "bad guys" and you can all rest easier now.

Silk Road makes between 20 and 30 million a year in sales, the illicit drug war earns over 400Billion, yet busting SR will look better to them than killing Bin Laden, Pablo Escobar and the Ramirez Brothers all at once, even though there's more value in drugs sitting in one little favela in Peru than everything SR has to offer!

I LOVED THIS PLACE AT THE START, NOW IT'S ABOUT DRUGO'S AND MONEY AND INSTEAD OF A FUNFAIR FEELS LIKE AN ARAB BAZAAR, NOT LOVE, LIBERTARIANISM FREE TRADE AND MUTUAL RESPECT... ESPECIALLY FROM THE SR "SUPPORT TEAM", A FUCKING MISNOMER IF I'VE HEARD ONE!!!

It's hard for people who've joined in the last 6-9 months to understand what we mean by how much it's changed and it's not the same place, but they'll learn, especially when LEO kicks in their doors to ruin their lives over some smack and a couple of grams of cocaine.

C'est la vi!

Be smart folks, and use PGP to send your details NOT the SR checkout system, if you have to use it at all. My advice, find good vendors and stick to them inside or outside SR.

Peace!!! - JWM


Despite all the scaremongering seems like SR is back to its full glory - so a big THANKS to the SR team!

And a big FUCK OFF to all those posters who decided to be shit-stirring cunts - moaning, whining and spreading shit about SR, the SR team & everything SR connected - even as the SR guys were just trying to sort out the problems!

You're paranoid.  Smoke less weed.

To people who have been around here a while, like Megatron himself, there's more than meets the eye going on with SR and DPR...

I'm assuming you're relatively new based on that you've written four posts, probably all praising DPR and the "TEAM" but here's a fun fact for you, DPR who started this place is LOOOONG gone my friend and chances are exceedingly good LEO's now got control of this and using it as a honeypot service the outage. The mods and DPR'S writing style changed again to basically nothing but shit. Saying stuff like "Our beloved DPR will be on in 12hrs to address the situation" yet we appreciate the guy, the real DPR of old, but mods don't write that way and as for DPR's posts, they look more like a point form memo to a secretary to type up... any surprises there?

Those of us who have been around for a while know THE ORIGINAL DPR's an awesome guy, who likes to hang out in the forums and always ran a "tight ship" but since he sold the boat, (for way more than it will prove to be worth because the new LEO team who intercepted it soon after can't manage it properly being "white hats" most fresh out of their five year college courses, don't know WTF they're doing with criminal minds systems) he's a happy man who's sailed off into the sunset.

Donnyberger-
Im just curious but why would DPR want to block new registrations? If even more people are trying to get on isnt that a good thing? Do we (you) not want anymore users in SR or is it full? So the vendors that are there can have the existing buyers only. As time goes on and vendors fade away does DPR open it up to just new vendors? As well as you are restricting vendors to the existing members only. Where will new registers go? Thats where the vendors will follow to and SR will lose out on all of that business. When you say "a way to block all these morons" I assume you are refering to all the current members who flipped out while SR was down? Both vendors and buyers. As well as you must be refering to the existing members that are trying to scam for BTCs. Has nothing to do with new registers. I think the bottom line is you have an account and its working and thats all you are thinking about. Also if you consider the site going down and having its members freaking out about being ripped off is limelight I question your thinking all together. If anything it made members pull their BTCs out and others steer clear but thats what you would have anyway. New registers they wernt here when you were so by seniority that makes you superior. I have met people like that. They usually wont help other users (definately not newbies) and look at themselves as privlidged for "being there first" although they are just another one of the masses. Its easy to call others behaviors obnoxious when you have no investment in the object that is at risk. I would like to see (although I can predict) how you would behave if the situation was different. If you had a large amount of BTC or maybe someone elses tied up. Maybe you can afford to juggle the money around but not everyone can. Im not saying everyones reactions were sensible but there is a justifiable reason to be worried and for that and combined with their different characters and the variables of their addiction as well as their financial state--I understand as I think DPR does. Thus the reason he has handled this professionaly and not got caught up in the commotion. Everyone understands the risk and I dont think there is anyone who doesnt thank DPR and everyone else that contributes to what makes this all work (its not just DPR) but at the same time these people are also contributing to the community that is at the heart of this. They pay their fees and follow the rules. These people make the system possible and in that respect and in this particular case forgiveness and understanding should be at the top of everyones list right now. Then there is the other foot that you can try my shoe on: im a SR member who split with their significant other. I need to start an account of my own now. I have been waiting just like you. Should I be "halted" from registering a new account? What if it was you that just found SR like some of the new registers have. You remember how excited you were to see it? Well you cant join because your new. Hopefully you can understand where im coming from and you take this the right way. Try not to have a "spazathon" over it. ;)

Well for the time being the site has obvs been struggling so the obvious thing would be to do would be halt new users. Dpr has already commented on the ' explosive growth'
I dont think at the moment SR will lose any buisness.
It was mostly newbies who flipped out but thats my opinion.

Ive only just started as a vendor. after a week of it working out, it was down for a week so yes i can clearly see new ppl registering needs to be halted. I was also a buyer from near the start of SR so i can see how the issue has come about. Im thinking about all the decent vendors and buyers and future registrations. I would rather DPR took time to improve the site instead of allowing new accounts and crashing the site again. You will find the longer serving members didnt panic withdraw BTC's. Im not superior i just want the site to work. I understand there are decent sensible ppl who want to register an account. Im not saying they cant because they are new, im saying not having anyone new register is the sensible thing to do as the site cant handle it right. and a lot of the newbs comments on here arent going to help to persuade DPR to change his mind anytime soon.

This is what im talking about. I agree with you in your clearified statement. I understand both sides but your original post came off in a different way or thats how I took it. I always sa'y the problem with textsemails is there is no tone of voice. people shorten their thoughts and misunderstandings happen. Thanks for your professional response. I take back the points in which I thought you were presenting yourself as superior. ;D

This is not a rant or dig at you two i just thought it was relevant to the conversation

From all the retarded comments Ive been reading on this thread it seems that the ones who talk the most bollocks already have SR accounts, they are just new to the forum. I think its not so much about the quantity of customers but the quality of customers. There's been way too many ranting and raving because they might loose a couple of hundred quid. Boo hoo, these are the people who need to be ejected as they obviously have no idea about the drug trade. Id like to see them bitch and moan if they done a deal down a back alley and got a gun in their face and ripped off at the same time. Would they shout "well i don't get treated like this in my local supermarket!" The mugger would probably then shoot them for being so stupid. At least they don't have that fear here thats why they rant and moan and show themselves to be true morons. This is an illicit trade and sometimes shit happens. DON'T TREAT IT LIKE AMAZON!!! SR could be gone at anytime and its forum,then where you gonna go to cry? If you don't have it to loose don't leave it lying around in your SR wallet for convenience ! deposit only when your buying that way if it was to vanish you at least have cut down the damage to you. Maybe a trusted invite system is whats required so only existing members can induct new members rather than just any tom dick or harry getting access. That way at least their is some way of vetting new members and ensuring they are up to speed with the drug trade. Geeze i don't believe Ive had to state the obvious. Some people if they had brains they would be deadly.

Again lads this wasn't aimed at you but the 'community' or lack there of as a whole. Peace and love x

Some thoughts on what you said-not aimed at attacking you or anything. The people that have been making the most noise arent just new users to the forum. Its not a matter of how long you have been using the forums that determines behaviors especially when we could be talking about addicts. I just think some people reacted diffferently then others and depending on the feedback they recieved it could go one way or the other. Based on what I saw many other members didnt help the situation with their comments. Alot of people dont want to be told they are wrong for fearing their money is gone. They also dont want to be told that this is like a back alley dealer when before this the key focus has been on building a community that runs on trust. Speaking of the the back alley senerio isnt that why we are here anyway? To avoid that sort of situation. To act more as professionals. As far as the quality of the the members goes there will never be a way to get rid of scammers completely. The nature of the business and the online world makes it near impossible to run something like this without having troublemakers. Look at eBay no matter what they implement scammers get in and scam. The quality of user ranges on eBay just like it does here. Again I dont think limiting members will fix this. Membership fees might help weed out some but having invites by current members only means that the current members that are scammers can invite their scammer friends. Members will start selling accounts (like I have been offered) and then your right back where you started Its hard to have a site where you need to protect your identity but be able to verify members are not scammers. Even legit vendors turn into scammers sometimes so you cant be sure about anyone. Think about it.You say not to treat this like Amazon but why not? That is what we all would prefer isnt it? A site that is easy to use and you can buy what you want. Lots of options and lots of content. Maybe some buyer protection? I think you might have meant dont expect it to work like Amazon meaning there are scammers? Because there are scammers on Amazon too. I get the general point that SR is an underground operation and you cant expect it to have the same policys/behaviors that Amazon has but it could run with the same efficentcy (spelling?). The drug trade and back alley dealers are two different types of entities. In truth a professional in the drug trade runs things like a business and has many of the same practices that we use on SR. Where as a back alley dealer is someone who is usually an addict themselves who sells to support their own habit and that means your going to get screwed around. Many of us have been at this for MANY years working and suffering our way through these people to get to the professionals. We remember the back alley dealers though and that could be partially why some members flipped out. People have become acustomed to trusting SR not just their favorite vendors and when it looked like they wernt getting the response they wanted out of DPR it brought up old feelings of those past back alley dealers (B.A.D) not responding and robbing them. It makes a person feel like a fool when they get taken. Being experienced in this lifestyle makes you then kick yourself for thinking anything was different and you should have known better- until SR came back up. Then they realized they put their foot in their mouth. I have experienced this with my local vendors as well as in other situations in life where I jumped the gun and in those cases you have to be humble and just apologize and learn from the situation. True professionals will usually let it go--well I guess that depends on how bad you flip out and what you say/do. I think people understand its an illicit trade but that doesnt make it any better if you get ripped off. There are chances of bad things happening and people take them but its only human nature to complain or warn others to communicate the frustration/anger. If it did turn out that DPR split with the BTC would they have been morons then? Not just that but I think this is typical of a situation like this. A bunch of people get robbed-at first no one says anything because they think its just late. Then a few start to talk and gather information and worry. Then it starts one by one each person gives up on anything coming through at some point until everyone is talking about it and is in agreement. There are people like me that even though everyone has been ripped off and its clear I will still hold out doing anything besides talking about it until long after I should have. I wont jump the gun--learned from past mistakes. So everyone is different and I dont think anyone was wrong for worrying/being angry. Yes some of the comments were overboard but like I said everyone is different. SR could be gone at anytime its true but there are and will be others. Alot of people bad talk other sites (BMR) and wont accept anything other then SR in this business but alot more people including vendors use both sites. Where did alot of people go in the downtime do you think? I dont believe everyone just sat there or just used the forums to order. If you dont have local access and your connection is down what are you going to do? What do people do locally? Call someone you dont normally go see. Is that a lack of loyalty to your dealer? No its just business. With all the choices you have in your town to eat do you just visit the one? No you go where you are treated right where the food/prices are good and where it is convienient for you. You may have a favorite but that doesnt mean you wont go anywhere else. This is what would happen if SR was gone more sites would pop up and people would migrate over. So I agree people need to apreciate SR for the wonder that it is but to treat it as if it is the last of a dying breed is backwards.  There are people with the mindset that it takes them the buyers/vendors to make the business a business. Alot of people dont look at it like they are fortunate to be there but that SR is fortunate to have them. Not that I think that is the correct way of viewing things but others do. Also alot of these people didnt have BTC just sitting in their accounts. Not everyone just deposits BTC only when they need a quick buy. Some have BTC going back and forth all the time. Maybe they did just deposit it like you suggest but the site went down or others that made purchases but the vendors couldnt see or do anything so they did what you suggest but the timing was bad. thats just the buyers. Vendors that were waiting for escrow to release for purcahses shipped and the purchaes that are new orders that are waiting to be shipped-do they ship them? So alot of different situations could be the motivating force behind the (now I am using your word:) "spazathon" that took place here. All Im really saying is I think everyone needs to cut everyone a break. Those that flipped and those that didnt. You can understand someones motivations without condoning them. I dont think it is a matter of new/old members not understanding the drug trade either I agree that maybe some sort of tutorial could be written that would address what to do in the event of another "spazathon" (theres that word again!) sort of an in case of emergency guide. You wouldnt want me to write it. My forum postings are novels. Im sorry but its how I talk and how I write. I cant be brief no matter how I try. I read someone say that DPR will regain his credit in time after this is all over but I see it differently. The site went down and with people flipping out and all the stress that guy must have if there was going to be an oppourtunity and a reason (Its hard to fix, feds, scammers,etc) to split with everyones BTC this would have been it. Instead the guy breaks his ass getting it back up he avoids the shit flinging in here and he produces a near-finished site that sounds like it is running better and he is still at work. I know customer support was lacking in some areas but considering the amount of people that tried to contact them I can understand why that might be a factor. I imagine that as time goes by he will find ways to improve on that as well. This was most definately a learning experience for DPR as well as for us the members. I dont know if it will even happen again once the dust settles on this but if it does everyone will behave differently as well as DPR I think.  A positive thing has come out of this in my opinion and some will see it this way and some wont but I give MORE credit/trust to DPR now. His dedication and intentions seem clear to me if only for the time being although I dont think a time will come when his intentions change. These type of guys are in it to the end whatever that may be. This is his baby and he loves it. Makes me feel alot more confidence in SR. Wrote a novel here soaponarope but im just in a discussion with you not an arguement. :D

I need someone to type my essay up you've got the job  ;)

I got to the second sentence and couldn't be bothered trying to hurt my eyes keeping track of what line I'm reading. Seriously dude, have some etiquette because like old mate said, nobodies going to read it bud... for the record!

jesuswasajerk-
I didnt realize we were being graded on punctuation and grammar. This is a forum filled with alot more obvious examples of ignorance as well as alot of broken English and alot more grammar and punctuation errors then I made. Are you right there telling them the same thing? Policing the forums for correct punctuation and grammar thats your job. Because I have an opinion and I am detailed im insulted? Did I say anything that would be an insult to anyone including yourself? Have I attacked anyone like I have been? Where was I such a horrible person that I deserve to be insulted? Did you even bother to read what I wrote? If its just that you cant understand the words are too big I can simplify it for you. I have to say im apalled at this point. I have had to start up new accounts here and over at BMR and every response I have recieved on this forum has been unfriendly and attacking. Over at BMR I havent been spoken to like this once. I had never been treated like this here before the site went down and I wasnt a "newbie". I think some of you need a reality check here. Pretty sad the way some of you act so superior and better then everyone else. I know this isnt everyone and really consists of a just a handful of morons. This kind of business only comes back on itself. These things come out in the wash and if you are trying to keep people out of SR and kick everyone else out you can well then Jesus (ha talk about one STUPID name! How full of yourself are you?-Im shocked you would even mention mine) you must really think your are the son of God and that you can run SR as its only member or maybe just a small group of you and your "friends"  can have it and meanwhile other sites will pop up (and are popping up as I type). That would be better for you wouldnt it? So now you can stop hitting refresh waiting for my reply like a dog. You can reply with more of your petty uneducated comments all you want. The GREAT thing about this place is I dont have to come back to this forum and I can still join when registration opens. On top of all that those of you that feel since you are a member so no one else should get in its not going to happen. Nothing can and nothing will change. DPR is running this game not a handful of people/kids that have nothing but time to camp out in forums all day posting comments making threads and blogs and polls and whatever else you time wasters do. All you want is a good ass kissing a day for writing in these forums and getting your posting count up. Dont say no because I know your kind. You dont go outside you live here. So say something smart for your "friends" and think you got me they will all kiss your ass good but really they know it and you know it. Cant lie to everyone the proof is evident. If I dont see your reply or any other comments from your shitmouth in this forum for that matter I dont think my life will be affected. Since you are so worried about punctuation and grammar even though you cant read go ahead and edit my posting. Someone will tell you "good boy!" +1 and you can do a spin on your fat ass in your computer chair. Something just occured to me. If I was a vendor I wouldnt go around pissing people off in forums. That could be bad for future business. Other members see it and act accordingly. Not just that but in this business you dont piss off addicts they are horribly vengeful. Well your lucky im not like that and im lucky im not a vendor but that is something for everyone to consider if your a vendor. Think about it all the problems it could cause. Well I dont want to piss off any vendors I might want to use so this is my last novel and my last visit to SR forums. Never needed them before anyway.

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

Thanks for all your hard work DPR.

I am however still frequently getting logged off which I believe has to do with moving backward and forward in the browser.

Just in case it helps,

silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is the ONLY link to SR.  If you went anywhere else you were phished like the above poster said.

Just spend 10 min memorizing it (really not that hard .. silkroad ... vb5 ... piz3r) and save yourself hours of headaches at lost money to scumbag phishing operations.

EDIT:  Sorry I hadn't kept reading down the thread to see that you know you were phished.  I wasn't trying to rub salt in your wounds :( sorry

You'll have to contact SR support, they may ask you for your pin for confirmation (presumably you didn't enter your pin on the phished site? ... if you did I think you're shit out of luck, but could be wrong).

Expect a bit of a wait though, I can only imagine that SR support is backed up with a few thousand irate users waiting for an instant response (as if SR support is a computational instant answer machine when it's in fact a few tired as fuck people getting barraged with insults and impatience trying to sort out everyone's woes :( )

Logic dictates (haha I sound like Spock) that sending them more then one e-mail is just going to serve to back them up even more.  Next time perhap's contact them once and just be patient, I presume by the hatred and bitching in this thread that they have a lot of emails and customers to deal with.

Thank you DPR and Team for all your hard work.

I know it's a bastard when you're expecting free time and then have to deal with issues like these under continuous pressure. I hope you get the r&r you need and deserve after all this.

Thanks also to the rock solid Vendors who were patient throughout, kept their customers informed, and felt no need to participate in the spazathon. (And thanks Nomad Bloodbath for the terminology).

My experiences of SR in the last 24 hours:
- Made a bitcoin deposit, coins landed within one hour.
- Exchanged messages with a vendor.
- Placed an order with said vendor.
- Still getting occasional logouts, but can work around for now.
- Otherwise, mostly finding the site to be at least as fast as before (and at the time of writing, very fast indeed).

You've all done a great job, and I for one will do my duty and continue to buy :-)

Thanks again,
~ sm

P.S. Nearly forgot, Ya Boo Sucks to the various incarnations of IHN and TOTBs and cohorts. You did not help.

I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!

I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!




Why are you still on the forums and why are you still going on about your 150BTC? You called the whole SR team 'c***s' the other day.

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!

Post by: DonnyBerger on November 17, 2012, 02:55 pm
a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes.

Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!




Why are you still on the forums and why are you still going on about your 150BTC? You called the whole SR team 'c***s' the other day.

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!


Well you ment either one of the last 2 and im sure they dont appreciate being called that.
Especaily when you said you were messaging them trying to resolve the issue.
Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!




Cant find your exact comment as theres too many of your abusive comments slagging off the DPR team to sift through. So i doubt your mates with one of the Admins. But you called them ''robbing c**ts'' so no, its not friendly.

Everything you say is balanced and logical lol. You make me chuckle.

You seem to be assuming im american and called me 'trailer park' so now your offending americans now, well done for that

Now do the world a favour badger boy and crawl back in your den and OD on that blow you love so much (and I mean semen not cocaine)!

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Would you have preferred caravan park?

I was simply trying to keep within your limited vernacular.

Now do the world a favour badger boy and crawl back in your den and OD on that blow you love so much (and I mean semen not cocaine)!

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!




Why are you still on the forums and why are you still going on about your 150BTC? You called the whole SR team 'c***s' the other day.

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!


Well you ment either one of the last 2 and im sure they dont appreciate being called that.
Especaily when you said you were messaging them trying to resolve the issue.
Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!




Cant find your exact comment as theres too many of your abusive comments slagging off the DPR team to sift through. So i doubt your mates with one of the Admins. But you called them ''robbing c**ts'' so no, its not friendly.

Everything you say is balanced and logical lol. You make me chuckle.

You seem to be assuming im american and called me 'trailer park' so now your offending americans now, well done for that

You retard you insinuated that because I said trailer park you were American, and you think I'm daft.

Fuck off idiot and get a life... oh sorry that's right you don't have one do you?

poor little Coke Badger, unlike you I don't "need" Silk Road for anything, I just like the convenience it provides.

Now this little love affair has been pleasant but I must return to my life now.

So America is the only country with trailer parks now is it?

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!




Why are you still on the forums and why are you still going on about your 150BTC? You called the whole SR team 'c***s' the other day.

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!


Well you ment either one of the last 2 and im sure they dont appreciate being called that.
Especaily when you said you were messaging them trying to resolve the issue.
Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!




Cant find your exact comment as theres too many of your abusive comments slagging off the DPR team to sift through. So i doubt your mates with one of the Admins. But you called them ''robbing c**ts'' so no, its not friendly.

Everything you say is balanced and logical lol. You make me chuckle.

You seem to be assuming im american and called me 'trailer park' so now your offending americans now, well done for that

You are the single most annoying cunt on here next to spammers, stop talking to me I won't acknowledge your feeble attempts to incite me to anger, I'll simply say you are a mental midget with evidently a drug problem based on your Franky Wilde wannabe avatar and your pathetic ruses to try and trick me. Actually ass fucker, I've been awake over 25hrs, with nothing except 15mg of diazepam and 60mg of oxycontin and a bunch of cones, so when people are over tired, they aren't as sharp as normal but dude, unlike you I have better things to do than troll peoples shit trying to pick out inconsistencies and shit. I take it you have a small penis and now woman because a well laid person doesn't act like you.

I won't be replying to you anymore because you're the absolute epitome of a loser and BTW, that money was for a friend to have something shipped interstate because he works out west in a mining town, but you wouldn't know anything about helping people or work so fuck of drop kick because like I said in my posts, I HOPE I'M WRONG you fucking idiot and I always praised the real DPR, but we all thought it was compromised. Everyone asking him constantly for PGP evidence, did I? No, why were they doing that do you think? STFU and grow a brain, if I met you in real life you'd be sucking my cock with no teeth cunt!

Go troll somewhere else, there's plenty of Fundamentalist Christians on YouTube to debate, the pathetic thing is they'd out smart you too.

FUCK OFF!!!


Like i said you forget everything you post.

No its because you said you presume im American
 Your quote - ''It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either''
Then you said im from a trailer park. Therefore your insulting americans. But mind you, i think you insult everyone on here

You dont need SR for anything? yet you were throwing a hissy fit and claiming SR stole 150 BTC you deposited. Yes sounds like you dont need it.
I bet you dont need these forums either right?
Amazing. lol



You retard you insinuated that because I said trailer park you were American, and you think I'm daft.

Fuck off idiot and get a life... oh sorry that's right you don't have one do you?

poor little Coke Badger, unlike you I don't "need" Silk Road for anything, I just like the convenience it provides.

Now this little love affair has been pleasant but I must return to my life now.

TATA





So America is the only country with trailer parks now is it?

Would you have preferred caravan park?

I was simply trying to keep within your limited vernacular.

Now do the world a favour badger boy and crawl back in your den and OD on that blow you love so much (and I mean semen not cocaine)!

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false.

How am i trying to trick you?
You keep saying false things and all i do is take your own quotes from your own posts
You call dpr and sr '' robbing c**ts'' Now you say you have respect for him and he reminds of you.
You said sr was comprimised by DEA all week. Now youve just said '' we all thought sr was comprimised'' no its was just you and other newbies causing panic.
Apparently im a troll now?  jezuzwasamushroom calling someone a troll. brilliant

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!


Well you ment either one of the last 2 and im sure they dont appreciate being called that.
Especaily when you said you were messaging them trying to resolve the issue.
Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!




Cant find your exact comment as theres too many of your abusive comments slagging off the DPR team to sift through. So i doubt your mates with one of the Admins. But you called them ''robbing c**ts'' so no, its not friendly.

Everything you say is balanced and logical lol. You make me chuckle.

You seem to be assuming im american and called me 'trailer park' so now your offending americans now, well done for that

That's why your pictures the coke badger, you just don't fuck off when no one wants to hear or see your ugly arse and you can guarantee if I was Franky Wilde I wouldn't have blown your head off, I'd have shoved that shotgun up your arse and then pulled the trigger!

The satisfaction that would give me would be like an everlasting orgasm!

How am i trying to trick you?
You keep saying false things and all i do is take your own quotes from your own posts
You call dpr and sr '' robbing c**ts'' Now you say you have respect for him and he reminds of you.
You said sr was comprimised by DEA all week. Now youve just said '' we all thought sr was comprimised'' no its was just you and other newbies causing panic.
Apparently im a troll now?  jezuzwasamushroom calling someone a troll. brilliant


You are the single most annoying cunt on here next to spammers, stop talking to me I won't acknowledge your feeble attempts to incite me to anger, I'll simply say you are a mental midget with evidently a drug problem based on your Franky Wilde wannabe avatar and your pathetic ruses to try and trick me. Actually ass fucker, I've been awake over 25hrs, with nothing except 15mg of diazepam and 60mg of oxycontin and a bunch of cones, so when people are over tired, they aren't as sharp as normal but dude, unlike you I have better things to do than troll peoples shit trying to pick out inconsistencies and shit. I take it you have a small penis and now woman because a well laid person doesn't act like you.

I won't be replying to you anymore because you're the absolute epitome of a loser and BTW, that money was for a friend to have something shipped interstate because he works out west in a mining town, but you wouldn't know anything about helping people or work so fuck of drop kick because like I said in my posts, I HOPE I'M WRONG you fucking idiot and I always praised the real DPR, but we all thought it was compromised. Everyone asking him constantly for PGP evidence, did I? No, why were they doing that do you think? STFU and grow a brain, if I met you in real life you'd be sucking my cock with no teeth cunt!

Go troll somewhere else, there's plenty of Fundamentalist Christians on YouTube to debate, the pathetic thing is they'd out smart you too.

FUCK OFF!!!


Like i said you forget everything you post.

No its because you said you presume im American
 Your quote - ''It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either''
Then you said im from a trailer park. Therefore your insulting americans. But mind you, i think you insult everyone on here

You dont need SR for anything? yet you were throwing a hissy fit and claiming SR stole 150 BTC you deposited. Yes sounds like you dont need it.
I bet you dont need these forums either right?
Amazing. lol



You retard you insinuated that because I said trailer park you were American, and you think I'm daft.

Fuck off idiot and get a life... oh sorry that's right you don't have one do you?

poor little Coke Badger, unlike you I don't "need" Silk Road for anything, I just like the convenience it provides.

Now this little love affair has been pleasant but I must return to my life now.

TATA





So America is the only country with trailer parks now is it?

Would you have preferred caravan park?

I was simply trying to keep within your limited vernacular.

Now do the world a favour badger boy and crawl back in your den and OD on that blow you love so much (and I mean semen not cocaine)!

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!

Where and when did he say that?

very good question, i read his post & it stuck in my mind it was odd. i read it i think in first day of blackout when i & many others were going back & analyzing. cannot say for sure when as i was reviewing posts of DPR via his thread when i read it, i think maybe originaly posted in sept not positive though....i go back to find in DPRs posts to link here for you to see, do not see it now, but at this point have only made it up through page 7 of post history, it maybe older than i thought, or it may be gone. kind of distressing if it was removed after whoever removed read my post. i am not saying i know, i am not want to cause panic, i am not want hate posts, & i am not want any real SR members in jail. i want people use brains & review, analyze, think. maybe all good, but if not, .....just the possibility makes all effort to confirm or deny valid in my thought. one forum poster makes a thinking post questioning something, another replies w/hate post to draw into duel & obscure thought and question. seem like one that reply w/hate to thought most like LE or other oppressor.
      motives.....who benefits?.....opportunities......changes.......these must be considered by ones with brain left if wish to move toward freedom, let alone avoid jail or worse. even if all turns out good, this must be constant method of being aware, have conscious raised, eyes open, next time maybe not all good????
   this time maybe not all good???

not knowing for sure but many reasons to question...i hope & pray we make it to ultimate goal of freedom.

now i go back to review DPR posts further, hope & pray find & post link here so others verify. frightened of meaning if post really has been deleted.

sympathize with those who are real SR people that dont want to hear this anymore, dont want to see fear. not pleasant for me either.
but if closing eyes to possibility of danger make it go away, we all get blindfolds tonight & be happy ever after.
i love the dream of SR - others with wits &  experience help to make sure it does not turn nightmare.

maybe DPR himself respond to post question? lack of response maybe more meaning than response.

Thanks a lot mate, I appreciate it!

Nice to know someone (well others do to) appreciates the thought and effort I put into shit.

I could quite easily spend my time smoking cones and playing BF3 and instead I'm here trying to think for people who, like religious nutters, can't see past their own doctrinal opinions.

I specifically asked not to be trolled and my thoughts simply considered, and I always said I HOPE I'M WRONG, and I have talked to DPR and it's him but still...

yes, had time to review post history further, very troubling post has been deleted, awaiting answer in msg that could ease worry, or strengthen it. if you truly believe that a post being seen in post history or not is proof that post was made...well we both know if you were that without knowledge you wouldn't even be here. in any case no ill will thumb, i will still inform you & others if i am to find proof of fear. i share your respect for original DPR, created this toehold on climb to freedom, smart & thinking person, very rare these days as you are our proof. that DPR is long gone my friend, it may be new DPR who purchase road just not as good technology, it may be worse. in any case if you have read original DPR postings than you know he was like me, thinking, questioning, take security & trust as partners, and unwilling to risk great thing like SR by not always being sure, even if it meant some work & thought, even if it meant squarely looking into frightening possibilities. that is called courage, conviction, character. i am afraid your cavalier attitude toward those willing to do the thinking, questions, hard work of research in order to keep eye on all of our safety would not be as welcomed by your beloved leader as you think. lol.

very good question, i read his post & it stuck in my mind it was odd. i read it i think in first day of blackout when i & many others were going back & analyzing. cannot say for sure when as i was reviewing posts of DPR via his thread when i read it, i think maybe originaly posted in sept not positive though....i go back to find in DPRs posts to link here for you to see, do not see it now, but at this point have only made it up through page 7 of post history, it maybe older than i thought, or it may be gone. kind of distressing if it was removed after whoever removed read my post. i am not saying i know, i am not want to cause panic, i am not want hate posts, & i am not want any real SR members in jail. i want people use brains & review, analyze, think. maybe all good, but if not, .....just the possibility makes all effort to confirm or deny valid in my thought. one forum poster makes a thinking post questioning something, another replies w/hate post to draw into duel & obscure thought and question. seem like one that reply w/hate to thought most like LE or other oppressor.
      motives.....who benefits?.....opportunities......changes.......these must be considered by ones with brain left if wish to move toward freedom, let alone avoid jail or worse. even if all turns out good, this must be constant method of being aware, have conscious raised, eyes open, next time maybe not all good????
   this time maybe not all good???

not knowing for sure but many reasons to question...i hope & pray we make it to ultimate goal of freedom.

now i go back to review DPR posts further, hope & pray find & post link here so others verify. frightened of meaning if post really has been deleted.

sympathize with those who are real SR people that dont want to hear this anymore, dont want to see fear. not pleasant for me either.
but if closing eyes to possibility of danger make it go away, we all get blindfolds tonight & be happy ever after.
i love the dream of SR - others with wits &  experience help to make sure it does not turn nightmare.

maybe DPR himself respond to post question? lack of response maybe more meaning than response.

DPR never said that. just go read his posts on his profile? lol.


/thumbs

yes, had time to review post history further, very troubling post has been deleted, awaiting answer in msg that could ease worry, or strengthen it. if you truly believe that a post being seen in post history or not is proof that post was made...well we both know if you were that without knowledge you wouldn't even be here. in any case no ill will thumb, i will still inform you & others if i am to find proof of fear. i share your respect for original DPR, created this toehold on climb to freedom, smart & thinking person, very rare these days as you are our proof. that DPR is long gone my friend, it may be new DPR who purchase road just not as good technology, it may be worse. in any case if you have read original DPR postings than you know he was like me, thinking, questioning, take security & trust as partners, and unwilling to risk great thing like SR by not always being sure, even if it meant some work & thought, even if it meant squarely looking into frightening possibilities. that is called courage, conviction, character. i am afraid your cavalier attitude toward those willing to do the thinking, questions, hard work of research in order to keep eye on all of our safety would not be as welcomed by your beloved leader as you think. lol.

Well thanks to fellow SRfriends for vindicating truth, yes quote to follow was what i had seen:



PS - In writing this post, I found myself erasing cuss words and rephrasing to be more polite.  So, I just want to apologize if I come off as stiff sometimes.  I'm just trying to be responsible for the Silk Road image and not let my personality get in the way.  It's also safer to make my writing style bland so it is less identifiable.

just had seem odd, maybe not big thing,just to notice in list with other small things, adding up to use caution,question all, to watch your own ass is to protect ones own freedom. as to friend thumb, i advise not to fall to level of oppressor with hate post, but find it very hard resisting urge to suggest inserting thumb in ass. those who question, doubt, think, observe, are the heirs of the real DPR and strive to keep the SR safe and community informed, even against the jeers of the oppressors and their tools.

Jeez, 123 pages ? Was away for a few days, if anyone feels like summing this up....
Friday 9th:
I once saw this book that re-wrote classic books from a 'tweeters' perspective. So here it goes.

Couldn't access SR. Fuck hey, how am I gonna get my drugs.

Tried the forums, apparently its down for everyone. At least everyone is up shit creek.

Saturday 10th:
Still down. Well better start following the forums.

Shit's going down, not sure what.
 
Update released, should be back up by Monday, sweet.

Sunday 11th:
Forums going crazy. Lots of crackheads not getting drugs obviously.

Monday 11th:
No access. Shit balls.

Checked forums, update said tech problems. Should be back soon.

Forums in complete self destruct mode. Conspiracy theory's of DPR true motives arise. 

Tuesday: 12th:
Still no access. Update says next few days.

People are starting to jump ship. Hopefully this will free up the traffic issue

BMR reports coming in. Satying true to SR

Wednesday 13th:
Anytime now. Next 24 hours at least. Pretty keen.

People still having massive panic attacks. Idiots.

Massive conspiracy theory's about security breach and LE posing as DPR

Sick one guys. Flock looses their head and runs rampart. Shows progression of human nature.

Thursday 14th:
SR back up. Things are shaky. People spitting chips about bitcoins not being received.


All in all, a shit fight that is now over.

Post by: UltimateSolution on November 22, 2012, 12:33 pm
The thing about recognizing writing patterns is actually a very legitimate concern, anyone with 1000+ posts should be very weary of it. Even if you think you alternate in the way you write there are certain things that can still be compared that you don't even think about. Virtually everything can be analyzed, things like average sentence length, average number of of commas, common word combinations, use of specific vocabulary, common misspellings, there are literally hundreds of things which you would never really think about. For most of us its not really a problem, even for DPR its not a problem unless he has like a very popular blog on the open internet with his real identity, perhaps about internet anonymity, or security or programming. Anything that could connect the identities together. Someone like Limitless however with a shitload of posts (I mean seriously, the guy needs to get a hobby or something) should be very careful. These programs are no joke and its quite frightening what they're capable of. The only limetation (pun intended) is finding something to compare the users on here to, I mean, you can't compare users on here with the whole internet. It's not like the US governments has some sort of super computer that could even do this, and even if they did its not like they don't have more important things to worry about than locking up people who aren't hurting anyone but themselves, oh wait.

Still, be careful guys.

Don't even think about getting involved. I was checking this topic only when DPR was updating. The rest? non-sense, pope, god, religion conspiracy theories, people struggling to survive because of their stupidity and barbie.

Posting an advertisement in every thread, like you have been, is the definition of spamming the forum. It's obnoxious. At best, you're doing yourself a disservice, as you're giving people a bad impression of yourself. Just act like every other vendor, post a single thread for your deals in the 'Offers' section, and let your product and service speak for itself.

No worries buddy:


"Black Friday" is the day after Thanksgiving here in the US (not sure about other countries),  it is the biggest shopping day of the year..  Most stores open up really early (say Best Buy normally opens at 9AM, well they probably open at like 3AM on black friday (today) and they will have a huge sale going on.

Most large stores (Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and so on....) will have HUGE sales on some items.  Normally there will be a PC and/or a large flat screen TV for a HUGE discount, like a 47" flatscreen for 399$ (one of this years sale items) along with many other things. 

THE ONLY PROBLEM is that the stores with the really good deals normally have people waiting in line for hours to get those deals.  And NORMALLY any given store will just have "X" number of the really cheap sale items available. So even though they might just have 10 of them per store you get 100's of people waiting and thinking they are going to get that sales item (needless to sayy after they are gone in 5minutes, everyone kind of goes ape shit)

It is the absolute worst day to go shopping if you are just doing regular shopping, because it gets pretty sketchy in most shops.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the bad punctuation and grammar, I'm still half alseep (thought it was much later when I woke up)

What about the password hash dump messages? Where are those messages? warweed announced them on the irc channel today.

The original password hash dump threat messages have also been deleted.

DPR is not being upfront about the security problems. He has eluded to them (fixing security problems) in his review posts but that will not help if you have all had your password hashes stolen. Wait for the day they are publically dumped, DPRs public posts couldnt even be validated with his own key therefore pretending that the hackers dumped emails from DPR are also invalid its just being stupid.

I don't have proof SR has been hacked but the blind faith in DPR on this thread is really amazing considering the evidence.

DPR is not being upfront about the security problems. He has eluded to them (fixing security problems) in his review posts but that will not help if you have all had your password hashes stolen. Wait for the day they are publically dumped, DPRs public posts couldnt even be validated with his own key therefore pretending that the hackers dumped emails from DPR are also invalid its just being stupid.

I don't have proof SR has been hacked but the blind faith in DPR on this thread is really amazing considering the evidence.


The captchas appearing during the down time - Juno, Allo, etc. - seem to advertise the purported identities of hackers.

SR has returned - relatively quickly. Its longevity and success is consistent with the view that its owners are capable and serious people. The sky is hardly falling.

If you had a failed log in attempt in the last 24 hours, just be sure to change your password and nobody will get hurt.

Jeez, 123 pages ? Was away for a few days, if anyone feels like summing this up....
Friday 9th:
I once saw this book that re-wrote classic books from a 'tweeters' perspective. So here it goes.

Couldn't access SR. Fuck hey, how am I gonna get my drugs.

Tried the forums, apparently its down for everyone. At least everyone is up shit creek.

Saturday 10th:
Still down. Well better start following the forums.

Shit's going down, not sure what.
 
Update released, should be back up by Monday, sweet.

Sunday 11th:
Forums going crazy. Lots of crackheads not getting drugs obviously.

Monday 11th:
No access. Shit balls.

Checked forums, update said tech problems. Should be back soon.

Forums in complete self destruct mode. Conspiracy theory's of DPR true motives arise. 

Tuesday: 12th:
Still no access. Update says next few days.

People are starting to jump ship. Hopefully this will free up the traffic issue

BMR reports coming in. Satying true to SR

Wednesday 13th:
Anytime now. Next 24 hours at least. Pretty keen.

People still having massive panic attacks. Idiots.

Massive conspiracy theory's about security breach and LE posing as DPR

Sick one guys. Flock looses their head and runs rampart. Shows progression of human nature.

Thursday 14th:
SR back up. Things are shaky. People spitting chips about bitcoins not being received.


All in all, a shit fight that is now over.

Thanks, you get your first +1 from me.

Not giving you problems here bro, but please let me ask you, as I have heard others proclaim themselves experts in this sort of web/IT field.   

If DPR is second to you in website Admin,   or third, fith, 1000th........why dont you, or can you not create a similar site?

I am not smart ass.  I am curious.  Would this site be really hard to recreate?   How much investment.   How much room needed?   What kind of security?

Please share with me in private or to the world?   This stuff is fucking nearly as amazing as the shit I get from it:}

You actually got that on your screen today??

You're the first. DPR has already said it looks to be a DDoS. - Unless they're putting that up NOW, to deal with the attack.

Oh well. It will be back.

It's just a little game of cat and mouse.

I'm outta here. I'll come back tonight and see whats what.

Until then.

Managed to login to SR a few minutes ago to deposit some BTC.

Seems to be down again tho.

Never mind the ddos, all the desperate customers hitting refresh probably isnt helping either.


***Just got back in again.

It's been 70 minutes since the blockchain showed a new block. That is one hell of a delay right there, and it has nothing to do with SR... Normally every 10 minutes...

What, you mean just 1 block, or an entire blockchain? ONE block? No that is not normal. It takes about 10-20 seconds for me for 1, but initial synchronisation took around 70 hours (not minutes) as there were over 100, 000 blocks to synchronise. Alternatively you can get pre-synchronised blockchains but these are not recommended unless your computer is downright epic. To avoid future lag times with your BTC wallet I'd recommend connecting daily when it is fully done, as it has to be synchronised on a pretty much constant basis.

Fuck me Dopey, any chance of a paragraph or two??

No one is going to read that massive block of text

I just peed a little.

You are the single most annoying cunt on here next to spammers, stop talking to me I won't acknowledge your feeble attempts to incite me to anger, I'll simply say you are a mental midget with evidently a drug problem based on your Franky Wilde wannabe avatar and your pathetic ruses to try and trick me. Actually ass fucker, I've been awake over 25hrs, with nothing except 15mg of diazepam and 60mg of oxycontin and a bunch of cones, so when people are over tired, they aren't as sharp as normal but dude, unlike you I have better things to do than troll peoples shit trying to pick out inconsistencies and shit. I take it you have a small penis and now woman because a well laid person doesn't act like you.

I won't be replying to you anymore because you're the absolute epitome of a loser and BTW, that money was for a friend to have something shipped interstate because he works out west in a mining town, but you wouldn't know anything about helping people or work so fuck of drop kick because like I said in my posts, I HOPE I'M WRONG you fucking idiot and I always praised the real DPR, but we all thought it was compromised. Everyone asking him constantly for PGP evidence, did I? No, why were they doing that do you think? STFU and grow a brain, if I met you in real life you'd be sucking my cock with no teeth cunt!

Go troll somewhere else, there's plenty of Fundamentalist Christians on YouTube to debate, the pathetic thing is they'd out smart you too.

FUCK OFF!!!


Like i said you forget everything you post.

No its because you said you presume im American
 Your quote - ''It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either''
Then you said im from a trailer park. Therefore your insulting americans. But mind you, i think you insult everyone on here

You dont need SR for anything? yet you were throwing a hissy fit and claiming SR stole 150 BTC you deposited. Yes sounds like you dont need it.
I bet you dont need these forums either right?
Amazing. lol



You retard you insinuated that because I said trailer park you were American, and you think I'm daft.

Fuck off idiot and get a life... oh sorry that's right you don't have one do you?

poor little Coke Badger, unlike you I don't "need" Silk Road for anything, I just like the convenience it provides.

Now this little love affair has been pleasant but I must return to my life now.

TATA





So America is the only country with trailer parks now is it?

Would you have preferred caravan park?

I was simply trying to keep within your limited vernacular.

Now do the world a favour badger boy and crawl back in your den and OD on that blow you love so much (and I mean semen not cocaine)!

a few things that have me wondering about using the 'new' SR, i do not share any of the fears of DPR & crew scamming, that seems silly, i am however concerned of the LE possibility and feel that there is no such thing as to much paranoia in that case, at least for me
   1- DPR - posted recently apologizing if he sounds different, said changing style to avoid profiling. great if so, good thinking, on other hand, very likely post LE mite post had they compromised DPR and were writing posts themselves
  2- DPR - 'movie nite' post advising all to use torrent link, arrousing security concern with some. i would think DPR would be aware of such concern, or at least post thought on matter. maybe im not understanding something, seems odd.
  3- SR - DPR posting that all good, opening new reg due to can handle it now, but same issues are still there, kicking out when logged in, 3,2,or 1 digi captchas...does not seem fixed, does certainly not seem ready for any more strain w/new members boosting use. if it is a LE situ they would want as many to reg as poss while cat still in bag.
  4- have had 2times prob communicating w/old vendor using their original key. as if they are not being able to decrypt w/original key.
  5- new vendors that have shown up during blackout. this is odd, maybe they were new in the day or two before blackout & i did not see, also seems like many new pics up of product when pics almost never changed before. seems odd so many vends would be on the ball enough to use blackout time to update photos, i dont know, maybe this is paranoid mind playing trix w/me, maybe not. along this line can anyone vouch TranceFamily was on SR pre-blackout? not trying to question this vendor, i could have easily missed seeing before, but i think i would have remember a vendor w/so many colorful pics. please advise if this is unfounded, and apology to TF if so.

  just my wondering, please reply with thoughts. crazy hate reply not needed, wont be read. thank you to others smart enough to know only one to depend on watching u ass is u.


I started a thread two days ago and there were no mods or anything and today about half an hour after posting this my thread was deleted and there was a new statement from "DPR" regarding the site etc.
I have been in discussion with one of the MOD's on here who said he'd been in discussion with DPR daily and is a really good bloke IMO and has calmed my nerves a bit however I'm still locked out of my account and I'm also still out of pocket 150BTC that was never processed into my account although it shows clearly in the block chain then was slowly taken out in strange increments.

Here's what I posted...

Here's what I posted on my thread about half an hour before it was deleted and this magical "DPR" post came along to counter it.

Personally I think they saw us old hats pointing out too many things they didn't like, so I'll do it again and I SERIOUSLY suggest you and others read the whole thing as I know some people have attention spans of as long as it takes to read a TV timetable but it's important information people MUST consider in this place.

from last nights thread that I didn't post before I fell asleep...

You all say this while I've been away having a private chat with a MAJOR VENDOR and he's worried about whether to pull his coins or if he'll even get them, or if he should just try one first and see how long that takes. You guys have no idea, you act like I'm saying this to be a cunt, when it's the fucking opposite you idiots there's people who know shit you don't and you guys don't think of it from all angles. WTF do you think I haven't been banned as you would love so much?

You're like Creationists arguing with an Evolutionist! I'm saying look at the facts and the bigger picture of things, as others have, and you're just going along with "God's Word" like it's gospel, and we all know the fucking bibles a myth of it's infallibility. For the hundredth time, I LOVE SILK ROAD, the REAL SILK ROAD I know without suspect shit and lies, dodgy support, zero addresses. Get off the meth and have a cone or two and really contemplate what's going on here. I WOULD LOVE TO BE WRONG, AND I HOPE I AM, I'm just saying to people be fucking careful. It's obvious if run of the mill hackers and spammers can break into the system, there's nothing stopping the NSA.

I read the book by the team who took out Pablo Escobar, and in the 80's they had a plane that could fly over Medellin, switch his phone on without him knowing and triangulate the position and switch it back off again. In the end they caught him in this manner over 20 years ago.

Imagine what they would have now, in a network they built?

You people to me seem a little bit relaxed about your lives and freedoms and I'm being more concerned for you than you are!

Remember it came out DPR sold the road in August I think it was, two weeks later they had that big upgrade but were obviously competent with the system and knew it in and out.

This time it's completely different. We remember the OLD DPR, that was who we trusted and it was earned trust, now the DPR thing as far as an almost brand quality thing can't be applied to someone who's done nothing even close to DPR himself and therefore SR isn't the same because DPR WAS SR, and for all we know it could be a gang of people now running it employing outside IT workers to monitor it who don't get it quite yet OR the other gang or gangs, fucking governments of some sort. LEO is my gut feeling because a group interested in keeping the DPR quality up wouldn't be treating people the way they are, and it's not just me.

I'm asking you to take your drug hat off for a minute and put on your rationality one and think long and hard about the shit from all angles.

If you had a consiglierie  and he didn't give you impartial advice like this he wouldn't be doing his job, and I'm actually trying to be a fucking helpful member of the "community" or what's left of it I'm not here to have troll battles!

Rational debates and discussion are what adults have, unless they're religious people, insults are for people with nothing constructive to say!

Here's a quote from a well known vendor on another forum... yes there's more SR ones than this!

“Users of the site worship him.”..this is blatantly false. There are a couple of n00bs that express this type of admiration, but people like myself, who have been on the road for over a year, well…we do not “worship” him. He is just another mod, and he used to be a vendor on the site before it got to big. Now he realises that it would be dangerous for himself to vend, as all LE would have to do is order from him. Also, you say there is no one who knows who he is. no one knows him. *ahem* again, this is not true. There are many who know him on the forums. I will not say who, but if you have been there long enough, you would know. "

Think what you want but if you're in a cell worried about spending the next ten years behind bars remember this, and the Australian Federal Police might not have been lying when they arrested old mate in Melbourne by working on what appears to be some secret SR taskforce they've setup, because Interpol's World Wide Cybercrime Headquaters are in Sydney.

Our Prime Minister said on TV recently after Julian Assange revealed how much info governments share, freely admitted they all willy nilly trade info on citizens and they have the power to put a fucking solar powered truck sized buggy thing on Mars, so WTF and who the fuck are SR in comparison? SR had to be compromised sometime IMO!

I HOPE I'M WRONG, I REALLY DO BUT THE SR WE USED TO KNOW WOULDN'T BE WITH HOLDING $2100 of someone's money after contacting them almost instantly then when provided evidence disappear and yet they were still online sending similar messages to other people. I suggest you read the missing BTC threads there's a few, none of which were started by me but I did show some of them how to view the block chain, and one guy actually watched it get moved out before his very eyes the poor bloke, again a 9th or 10th deposit.

You have the hide to abuse me when all I'm doing is making you use your brains, or have you fried those already and critical reasoning and abstract thought are too much for you?

I've been up all night stressed because of these people, taken 40 mg of oxycodone, 20mg diazepam plus weed and I'm still unable to sleep I'm so pissed.

By doing my mate a favour, at this stage now I have to pay him back plus he won't make his money or have his weed for Christmas, and because I won't credit my other account with money because of what's happened and that's still happening to people I'm going local again for some smoko.

In the last two months thee have been about 30 or 40 SR arrests here, one guy killed himself on NBOMe ordered through here by taking too much in a forest and running into trees of all things from hallucinating so hard.

It smells like BACON and furthermore, soon to be broken EGGS!




Why are you still on the forums and why are you still going on about your 150BTC? You called the whole SR team 'c***s' the other day.

First of all Mr Coke Badger, in my country the word cunt has as much weight as fuck and we use it to refer to each other, as in "what a sick cunt" (good) "what a dumb cunt" (dumbass) and "hopeless cunt" (shit cunt)

It's not the offensive thing it is overseas so it may have come across to you, being I assume American since Brits don't care either, and furthermore I don't apologise anyway. I'm out at this stage $2000+ and you think I don't have a right to call someone that has so far scammed me anything I choose?

Go and "badger" someone else and leave the discussion to those without an extra chromosome, and leave Franky Wilde alone too... CUNT!


Well you ment either one of the last 2 and im sure they dont appreciate being called that.
Especaily when you said you were messaging them trying to resolve the issue.
Your clearly just a troll and you should count yourself lucky you can even post on these forums

Okay it's spelled MEANT and ESPECIALLY... your lack of literacy and punctuation skills aside, you don't know who the fuck I was talking to and for the record NO it wasn't microRNA and furthermore said MOD and I get along famously, and yes dickweed I called him a sick cunt and he knew exactly what I meant without having to expand on it.

Why I'm justifying myself to an doss cunt with the coke badger as his avatar who thinks it's a privilege to post on a public forum is beyond me, and in case you can't see that unlike what you say everything I say is balanced and logical and I'm always quick to say that I HOPE I'M WRONG and also you clearly didn't read what I wrote which doesn't surprise me being that you border on the edge of retarded. If you did you would say, as others have, you've raised some very valid points and I hope others read your post in full if only for the consideration.

I don't need to spend my time trying to point out things to brain dead cunts like yourself, I did it so hopefully some people can not end up fucked over or in prison, it's called common courtesy, something your inbred incestuous parents didn't teach you in the trailer park you grew up in!

Seriously, and I mean this with all sincerity, I hope you're the only one on here who does go down in flames and perhaps when you go to prison they'll force you to learn to use your brain because thinking is all you're going to have time to do, and you need practice... lots of it!

So why don't you do yourself a favour and neck up you illiterate cunt you're a parrot!




Cant find your exact comment as theres too many of your abusive comments slagging off the DPR team to sift through. So i doubt your mates with one of the Admins. But you called them ''robbing c**ts'' so no, its not friendly.

Everything you say is balanced and logical lol. You make me chuckle.

You seem to be assuming im american and called me 'trailer park' so now your offending americans now, well done for that

Glad that's finally over. Took me a long time to find what I was looking for in the first place as a result of that.

This was a thread for when SR "went down" (we'll never know why) in the beginning of Novenber 2012. -

So is DPR  still even looking at this????????????

If so, what about the scammers on here that are let go to scam unfettered ??? HUH?? Got no answer???

Could be because whether they scam or not you get your MONEY. - Sounds a little like what they accuse Jews of. But I happen to know Jews and respect them over any Muslim, Palestine, whatever bullshit name is given to the anti-semites of the world today.

YOU Dreaed Pirate4 Roberts are no better than Goebbels, in that you are just following orders.

For those of you not "getting this" try to read the history that your "commie lib" teachers left out of your curriculum.

There will be more wars, more bloodshed and more fighting. Despite the lies they taught you in school you stupid fools!!!!!!!!!

I'm ready. Are you???

Got Smith and Wesson, Glocks.. 9mm. All illegal and not registered. - That's how you beat them.

Come up on me un3expected, you will wind up dead and floating down the Hudson River. No one will care;

Get the scammers off SR before we hire IT pros who like drugs, to circumvent your authority.

Your encryption has already been unlocked. We like your site. Don't make us do the unthinkable

A DDoS is a snowball fight compared to what we can do to you.

Get rid of scammers with below a 90 rating or your site goes down again. Maybe a month will get your attention.

what r u a vender or sumthing? wtf u think ur talking about? not everyone with less then 90 rating is a scammer u fuck ass..

if your package doesnt show then u get a refund and ur shit is fucked up..
doesnt mean u are a scammer just means ur package got cought up in customs ...

This coming from a guy who can't spell, uses terms like "punk ass" like some wigger out of the Eminem fan club. You've only been on here for a month and a half. I really don't take you that seriously.

Do you think you'll ever be able to type coherently? Or is this pretty much as far as you'll go, intelligence wise.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I wish you luck in life.

They'll always need people to push brooms in the world, so don't get too down on yourself.

I apologize for that stupid rant I made about DPR, and taking the site down. - I was on a withdraw from adderall/amphetamine. Which for me, causes a great drop in seratonin, I suppose, add to that Xanax and too many beers, and I become a HUGE ASSHOLE.

Thanks to RonSwanson77 and a few others for pointing it out.

I have trouble taking down posts, I don't think I'll be taking down sites anytime in this lifetime.

Again, I am truly sorry.

I was TWI (typing while intoxicated) -

Karma up +2  for Ron, for this thread as well as the other about bitinstant.

I hope you all find it in your hearts to forgive me. Though I don't expect it.

OK, I hope that was enough grovelling for one day.

I hope you all find it in your hearts to forgive me. Though I don't expect it.

OK, I hope that was enough grovelling for one day.

Take care

Jack (Jagfug)

Kudos for apologising - there aren't many that are willing to admit their personal failings and apologise for them.

Thank you. My next thought is, "Why was I on this thread to begin with?" LOL! - I mean, look at the drama between the last two pages! Talk about karma! (+1 4u btw) - this thread has bad karma. I mean it was started by the DPR team to keep us abreast of the "Great outtage of November 2012", It's almost Christmas~!

Hope you all have a good one, and realize we're all human. With amazing talents, as well as failings. Somehow, we all get together and it's still working!

A few bruises and skinned knees along the way, but we're all here, getting it done!

May I be the first to wish all on this thread a better and happier new year than 2012 was~!

May I also request that someone from team DPR just delete this whole thread. It outlived it's usefulness a month ago!

See some of you around. I'm a regular on the Speed Amph review page.

Good Luck to you all!

jagfug

I also promise to come up with a better quote for the new year. That Abe Lincoln one has pretty much been played more than the Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby" was in 1982 !!!

My guess is it's got really busy because America woke up.

Thanks guys, way to go and ruin it for the rest of us :p

Yup. Troubles started around 7am. I thought the same thing.

I really hope all the cry babies and little do FUCK OFF. If you can't wait a few hours or a few days to buy drugs online safely, then good riddance. The spoilt bastards.
hey man come on people suck everywhere you go. I'm positive your country is no exception.

I like your face livestr0ng!  :)  sweeetttttt!

Tell you what! If I can think of why I even came into this thread, I'll b..... WAIT! I remembered! I'm going for a negative karma record! I seem to piss people off so it should be easy. But to sweeten the pot ... people who put -/karma under a persons ID are dickless little unimportant, impotent --- lol .... weenies. Like the punks who come in the middle of the night and slice your tires. ... that's what -/karma shooters are. Dickless - Twatless - little shits!

Hello? Awe come on now! That had to get someone pissed off! I've been all over looking for bitch/cunts (yeh, you boys are cunts that do that baby shit! :)  ) to give me -/karma's!

God I must be bored tonight!

Love and  :-* :-* :-*'s

Lol i thought there might have been a statement from the Pirate on the what I've come to learn wasn't as big a deal as made out to be but still thought being able to communicate about it would be better than ignoring it. The members not the issue.

I think some things are better left unknown.  Just need to know the site under maintenance  and when it will be back up.  that's all.  The details are un-needed.

The sky isn't falling today.  It just got a little cloudy. . that's all.   The chicken Little's are all gone, so let the shopping begin - that is what this is all about isn't it?   wooo hoo.!


So this how a revolution falls not with a fight but with a  "woo hoo!" ?



Good to know I'll be sure to thank konkin for his theories.
