Silk Road forums

Hi i'm new here.
 how can i avoid problems with pdf?How can i control them?

Hi Qual,

Welcome to the community. Please have a look through the Security forum for more information on securing yourself from possible malware etc. - the best advice I can give you is to open them inside a Virtual Machine. You can read more on Virtual Machines both here on the forums and with a search on Google.

Thank you.
oh & for your business. (being admin n all )  he,s got kids . 4  boys and 1 girl.   as so will most buyers on here.  nice people too.

Again thanks for your help.

I am not an admin, joolz, I am a forum moderator. I have no access to the administrative sections of the site so can be of no further assistance to you in this instance.

Libertas

Thanks for the support Libertas.

I did run a full scan with multiple methods on my system to reconfirm no keyloggers etc; very unlikely unless it was a custom job, which would be even less probable.

I've checked my addresses to see if there was any withdraw to them; no joy. Also - as I noted - there is no withdrawal address specified in the transaction log.

I'll contact support.

Regards,

OK, got it. 

Another dumb question then... do I simply enter my name and shipping address, enter my PIN and that automatically encrypts my name/address?

No, your details are not automatically encrypted - they're encrypted on the server so anyone that might have access to them won't be able to see them but they are not encrypted on the vendor's end; you will have to encrypt them using PGP, and guides for this are available all over the forum, particularly in the Newbie discussion and Security forums.

Of course it's a good idea to encrypt your info, but out of curiosity: Has there been any cases of a vendor getting investigated, the police finding sales records,  and the customers actually getting charged with anything?  I've never heard of such a thing happening despite tons of vendors with zero encryption getting busted before SR.

Not as far as I'm aware, but perhaps that is because the people who could report it are either going through the court system and thought better than logging in to Silk Road and the forums or possibly they are in prison already. Then again, perhaps nothing happened to them - we just don't know.

Regardless, that is no reason to become complacent. It takes under 5 seconds to encrypt an address and copy & paste it into the address field when placing an order. Is 5 seconds really worth the less than desirable possibilities that can result from not spending that time using PGP?

How about their login credentials for their local department's website?  Gary's username is "Cochenour 508" and his password is "Deputy508"

Whilst this would need clarification from the administrators I believe that this would fall under the 'no personal information' policy. As I am unsure on this particular point, I will check and revisit this, redacting the information if needs-be.

Links to news stories that are in the public domain are not considered as revealing personal information - they are widley reported and the person contained in the news report is not being put at risk by having a link to a widely reported news story posted here.

Libertas

Thank you for the clarification Libertas!

You're welcome. However, posting personal details that are not included in the news report is not permitted, as you well know:

Thank you for your report, Jack N Hoff.

Links to news stories that are in the public domain are not considered as revealing personal information - they are widley reported and the person contained in the news report is not being put at risk by having a link to a widely reported news story posted here. A member of the forums, or a member of LE, however, would be put at significant risk where their safety and security is concerned if their information is posted here - I'm sure you can understand the difference between those two scenarios. However, if you have an issue with the forum policy on personal information, please feel free to take it up with the site adminstrators, Dread Pirate Roberts and inigo.

Libertas

Cool.  So I can start posting law enforcement officer's personal information as long as I include a news article?

You can of course post a link to a news article that is in the public domain, along with the quoted text if desired, as long as it is posted in the off topic section where it belongs.

I'm started to notice several posts with personal information and the mods don't give a fuck about those.  I don't understand.  Some personal information is allowed, as long as it isn't a law enforcement officer?  Why are we protecting known law enforcement officer's personal information but we are allowed to post the personal information of celebrities and such??

As I posted in response to your report:

That should serve to clarify the issue, but if it does not then the administrators may be able to offer more information.
