Silk Road forums

Ive read that already but i cant find where i message support! Sorry its probably obvious, is there a link or anyone i can directly message?

If you click on 'support' down the bottom right hand corner of any page on the main site that will take you to the help center where you'll find a link to message SR Support directly.

This vendor has been in touch with me regarding this. I have told him the following via PM:

I would recommend starting a thread (which I will post in to let others know that you have communicated with me on the matter), stating that samples will only be sent out through your vendor account when you purchase it. You should then state that you are offering samples to people here with a relatively high post count and a good history of reviewing products for other vendors - their opinions generally have more weight with the community than the opinions of others where product quality is concerned.

State your requirements (previous reviewing experience that they can link you to, minimum number of posts etc.), get people that are interested in samples to post in the new thread saying so, post a list of the usernames of accepted reviewers, then ask those members to place an order with you through your vendor account for the samples when it is up and running.

The threads that are locked will remain locked until you purchase a vendor account, as stated here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=161332.msg1169795#msg1169795

In order to avoid any more issues in future I would recommend that your partner does not simply ignore the moderating team, nor starts new threads without engaging with us when we have locked the same thread elsewhere.

They have stated that they would not be sending out samples nor receiving addresses until they purchase a vending account, and I have been assured that CannaConnection will speak with his partner, CannaConnection1, about the rules that they have broken.

I will be keeping a very close eye as they progress here.

Should we keep that much money (bitcoins) in our account?  Is it safer to keep them in a wallet outside of SR ?  The hassle is if you see something you want to purchase on SR it can take several hours for your bitcoins to show up and your item can be gone.

You should absolutely not be keeping that much Bitcoin in ANY online wallet. Keep them under your OWN control, secured in an encrypted wallet on a local client with multiple encrypted backups both locally and in the cloud / email.

If you wish to keep them in your Silk Road wallet in case you miss out on something that is entirely up to yourself, but best practice is to keep your Bitcoin under your own control at all times. Personally I only keep about $150 maximum in my account at any one time - if I want to make a large purchase I send BTC to my account and buy whatever I'm interested in buying the second they arrive. Your Bitcoin are only every truly safe when they're under YOUR control, and protected with the necessary security measures.

 i had the money deposited was waiting for it to arrive in my account and had what i was ordering in my cart. IT was ready to spent it wasnt just sitting! sucks like they got me within a 30MIN TO A HOUR FROM WHEN THEY DEPOSITED MY COINS! BASTURD! EXCUSE MY WORDS BUT I JUST LOST ALOT OF MONEY

shutdem, given that you have told me that your Mt.Gox accounts were also emptied it is obvious that yuour computer's security has been compromised and it is not a Silk Road issue. I've directed you to the appropriate places in order for you to regain access to your account so am locking this thread as resolved.

        I have no idea they f;ing stole my btcs. I wrote support from shutdem and i can tell you word for word what it said, that someone hacked my account and it was 7.7btc and i wrote them the formor passphrase. willl that work? i mean i lost over a grand. i know the amount of last transaction and i wrote from shutdem and like i said told them i was hacked and i sent and went to cange the passphrase and it went to login screen andthe ass must have changed it while i was logged in or idk but this sucks
what do you think?

Hi shutdem,

Unless you had an incredibly weak password and PIN (such as 123456789 etc.) then there is no way that your account was compromised by an attack. The ONLY ways that your account could have been compromised is if you entered your login details (including your PIN, which Silk Road will NEVER ask you for at login time) into a phishing site, or else allowed a keylogger / datalogger to be installed or downloaded onto your system.

You need to memorise the correct URL - silkroadvb5piz3r.onion - as there are a number of scam sites out there with "silkroad" in the URL that ask you for your PIN when you're logging in. The reason you could not log in to the site when you tried to change your passphrase is because the phishers had already changed it to prevent you from having access to it once you had logged out.

You will need to message SR Support with the last SR deposit address that you sent money to, along with anything else (transactions, messages etc.) that you can remember. The phisher's also have your former passphrase due to you giving it to them when you tried to log in at the phishing site so that isn't really any use.

I hate to have to say it but every member is responsible for their own security; ensuring that you are visiting the correct Silk Road URL at all times and ensuring that there is no malware on your computer is basic, essential security practice. This has been a hard and expensive lesson for you to learn, but as Bitcoin transactions are irreversible there is no way we can get the Bitcoin back for you.

sorry i know what do i do with first link forgot passphrase?
is there anyway you can freeze the account? anything i thankyou for your speedy response i am freaking out! thank you

You need to create a new Silk Road account and message SR Support at the following link with the last address you deposited bitcoins to, along with any other information that can help us connect you to the account:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/messages/send_message/104259

There is no way to freeze the account in this kind of situation, I'm afraid. Please also note that Support are currently experiencing a 48 hour backlog so you may not hear back from them before then.

I have gone into resolution with a vendor, and I received a notification that resolution will expire in two days.  There has only been one communication between the vendor and I.  I have posted a lot to vendor, and received  only reply from him.  What will happen next?

Hi sclerogal,

You can read more about the ordering process here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=The_ordering_process

And the resolution process here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_are_resolutions_decided

How are resolutions decided

If you cannot agree on a resolution, a Silk Road admin with review your case and choose a fair resolution. The reviewer carefully weighs the evidence and statements provided and the relative reputations of the parties involved. If one party does not propose any resolution by the due date, the most recent resolution provided by the present party will always be chosen. In this case, any refund granted will not be counted for buyer refund statistics.

Please keep all communication inside the resolution center - do not communicate directly with the vendor about it - and ensure you propose a resolution before the two days remaining is up. If you're requesting a refund and you can't come to an agreement with the vendor by the due date then the administrator will make a decision on what will happen, taking a number of factors into consideration before doing so. Administrator decisions are final.

Hi shutdem,

You have entered your password and PIN on a phishing site; please note that Silk Road will never ask you for your PIN, and you should not be attempting to access Silk Road on any site other than silkroadvb5piz3r.onion

You will have to follow the reset process like everybody else - please do NOT store personal information in your Silk Road account. That is an outrageous thing to do!

You can read more about the password reset process here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_forgot_my_passphrase.

You will then have to reset your PIN:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=PIN

Unfortunately there's nothing more than can be done from our end. You will simply have to message SR Support with the information they require (set out in the first link above) and wait for them to get back to you about it. Every member is responsible for their own security, and personal responsibility is key to keeping yourself safe here.
