Silk Road forums

On Sunday i put an order with La Fuente and I have not heard anything from him. I now have the option to cancel my order. It says he was last seen 3 days ago but all of listing was removed about 12 hours ago, what does this mean?

Has any one heard from him since Sunday?
Will canceling my order negatively affect my buying stats?
Is this normal behavior for this vendor?

When a vendor has not logged in to their account for 72 hours their listings get pulled automatically.

Cancelling your order will not affect your buying stats at all. Please be aware that the refund you will receive will be Bitcoin at the USD value that it was when you placed the order, not at the USD value it is now. The refund you receive will also be ~4% less than what you paid due to hedging fee that is charged on every hedged order. Orders are hedged in USD, not in Bitcoin.

For example, if BTC were worth $100 when you placed the order and the item cost ฿1.00, then you would receive back ฿0.7296 as BTC are now valued at $130.91 (this calculation includes the ~4% hedging fee).

Hey peeps, haven't been around in a while, and was just wondering if the main site address had been changed during all this madness. I haven't been able to get the main site to load using the normal address in a few days. Feel free to pm me if necessary. Thanks!

The address is:

silkroadvb5piz3r.onion

Hey!

I accidentally clicked "get new bitcoin address" and I have a brand new one now.

I also have a transaction in the resolution centre and the vendor hasn't replied or even logged into their account in 10 days. The resolution comes in within the next 2 days.

If it requires a refund, will it be refunded to my NEW bitcoin address? The transaction won't just revert to the old one? If it did, would the bitcoins be stuck somewhere?

Thanks

Hi eleanorrobot,

All refunds are applied directly to your Silk Road account (username) - they are not sent to a Bitcoin address, they are simply 'moved' internally. It utilises the same process as the "Send bitcoins to another member" feature.

In cases where you are transferring Bitcoin to you Silk Road deposit address from an external wallet system it is advisable to keep the same address until your Bitcoin has arrived. However, all addresses that you have used previously are unique to your account. If you ever have a problem and your Bitcoin don't arrive after 24 hours, get in touch with SR Support (the bottom right hand corner of your page) and they'll be able to manually push them through for you.

You will need a vendor account to sell ANY good or service here, and that includes 0.05 BTC for the use of someone's number.

Go buy a burner phone and use that to receive your confirmation SMS.

Thread locked because of the security risk this poses to anyone who actually considers using their own phone for this - nobody knows what it is for, and it has the potential to get them into a lot of trouble.

The 3 number captcha has been happening since like a year ago.  There was a phase when people and I would constantly get logged off automatically and the 3 number captcha would come out a few times till the working one came out.

Actually I've been getting logged off recently for first time in a long time this past month.

I'm aware of that, but that issue was resolved. The current 3 digit captcha issue is a result of site hardening measures.

Jesus Fucking Christ NO.

A list of vendors with excellent sealing materials? Awesome. A list of vendors with the best (ie: probably disguised, not simply nondescript) stealth? No fucking way. It takes ONE order from ONE cop to discover the packaging of any vendor on the site. Again, not a big deal if it's simply plain wrapping, but something distinctive but deceptive? Why paint a target on the best dealers like that?

Please don't do this.

I completely agree with oldtoby. Feel free to list vendors with excellent sealing materials, but do not discuss the vendors with the best stealth - it puts vendors and their shipping methods at risk.

This is a free forum and you may discuss any topic you see fit to discuss, but if it describes shipping methods in any way that can threaten the security of vendor's packages it will be locked and the offending posts will be edited.

Which vendors have the best stealth is a purely subjective matter, but I would strongly advise against posting such opinions in order to protect the security of the vendors in question.

Hey everyone,

Not long ago, the attacker took down these forums as well as the main site, cutting off all communication between us.  If this happens again, we need a way to stay connected.  Listed below are backup .onion URLs that we will try to host the forum at if it is unreachable from the usual url (dkn255hz262ypmii.onion).  Consider these official Silk Road URLs from now on.

If you cannot connect via these URLs as well, we'll use reddit.com/r/silkroad as a last resort.  Please spread this message far and wide so as many people that want to stay connected as we go through this dark time are able to.

Yours always,
DPR
