Silk Road forums

Yes, there are some issues with the main forum URL at the moment - this began today around 07:45 UTC/GMT and the problem has been intermittent since then.

I don't have any more info on it so that's all I can give you guys at the moment. As most of you have noticed, the backup URLs are indeed working so everything is going according to DPR's backup plans. Nothing to worry about in any event.

If you're trying to get to the Wiki etc., simply replace the "http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion" part with one of the working backup URLs and you'll get there just fine.

Thanks for the clarification as always Libertas.
does sound somewhat worrying though, not another DDOS i hope.. I suppose the forum might seem like an easy target what with SR's defences reinforced.

The name of my personal folder showed up at least, I clicked it shut as soon as it showed up! Please let me know if I should clean house or expect a visit soon if thats enough info. Seems like I just got exposed to me. Im not much a of a tech person though :/

Hi slowcrash,

You should enter resolution if your order has not arrive once it has been 10 days from it being marked 'in transit'. Once you enter resolution the finalise period is automatically extended by 5 days, and you can request a further extension of necessary. Vendors do not consider it offensive for an order to be brought to resolution - that is the normal procedure if an item has not turned up yet.

Don't let it auto-finalise as this will negatively impact your purchasing stats.

Thanks! If it's not in the mail tomorrow then I'll put it in resolution and give it a few more days.

ahh ok.. I wasnt sure about the response time. Thank you again for all the help..

It has been almost 4 days ago when i made a transaction from my bitcoin wallet to the address provided in my account, but the deposit hasn't appeared still.

it was also asked from me to pay a fee for the transaction (as i read at some other posts that creates a delay)

according to my wallet the transaction has been done normally and a 600+ confirmations Status.

Is there anything to do to help?
I can provide any details required on pm

Thank you in advance

Why isn't my deposit showing up in my account?

It can take up to 6 hours for a deposit to be confirmed on the blockchain, processed, and credited to your Silk Road account. If your deposit still hasn't shown up, first check that it is showing up on the blockchain by searching for your deposit address on a site like blockchain.info. If your transfer doesn't appear here, then it was never sent and you need to find out why from the person or organization who initiated the transfer. If the transfer does appear, then there could be a problem on our end and you should contact us.

Tomorrow's mail is the last chance an order has of arriving before auto-finalizing. The vendor states in their profile that shipping does take sometime and is not consistent. The feedback backs this up, everybody seems to get their packages eventually. There are only good mentions of the vendor in the forums and they post in the forums also. According to the vendor's terms, I would not be eligible for a reship or refund as I do not have tracking to prove it was not delivered. I would like to give the order another week to show up in the mail. Should I use resolve to do this?

Would it be better to just finalize with a 5/5 and say in the feedback that product hasn't been received and then update when it arrives or if it doesn't show up in a couple more weeks? I'm more concerned about building my rep than this particular order. It's a small order and mainly for my wife. I'll just re-order it if it's not received.

There is also the possibility that something happened on my end. My wife wasn't being careful with the mail and my have thrown it out as junk mail. I've asked her to be more careful in the future but if it showed early there is a chance this happened.

Which would seem as less offensive to a vendor - having 5/5 feedback stating product was not received or having it go to resolve while waiting for it to show up in another week?
