yes, i was in my cart about to send money.  i went to refresh payments to include shipping fees and then it was all gone! i was like wtf... looked at transactions and bam. that weird transaction with 0 information.

Unfortunately this looks like your account has been compromised; what is the URL that you used for the login page of SR at your last login?

i haven't been active on here for a while. the last time i logged in was probably summer 2012 or earlier. after reading the FAQ i found out it got pruned/deleted when i created a new account with the same name. that means all the history, ratings, and of course seller's status is gone. i would like to know if all the records proving i was a seller were deleted as well, and if my history and status can be restored? also, i'm pretty sure it was on vacation mode if that helps.

Hi omg,

I think this is something you'll have to bring up with SR Support over on the main site; from what I'm reading above it would seem that you are correct, but again, you'll have to clarify it with SR Support.

Did you actually see the funds in your Silk Road account on the main site, yes?

having trouble with 2nd ever order with this vendor. itll b the last time . i thought id b lucky again but have lost confidence in this vendor.

i thought that after 4 days from order , if they havent sent it out , i can cancel it right? but today the link hasnt popped up yet to press cancel.

they put item 'in transit' immediately on monday for exp. but obviously they havnt even sent it yet.

the fact it is 'in transit' now, does that mean i now have to wait up to 15 days before i can cancel/resolve  it?

or if i wait until midnight tonight, the option to cancel order should appear then?

thanx. iv read the sik wiki but couldnt clarify these points.

Hi Tropicbabez1,

The option to cancel an order becomes available 96 hours (4 days) after you have placed it - not on the fourth day, but when the fourth day expires.

Once a vendor has put an item 'in transit', it cannot be cancelled, and if there is an issue with the order after this time you should put it into resolution (which becomes available after day 10, if I recall correctly). Hitting 'resolve' automatically adds 5 days to the item's 'due date' to allow for shipping delays etc.

Please see the SR Wiki here:

I completely appreciate what you're saying, and understand that I should be as thorough as possible in cleaning up my drive.

However, I'm on a Mac, and use Time Machine constantly. Could I simply revert the state of my computer to a date prior to having ever visited SR?

If it seems like I'm trying to avoid the tedious work you described above, you're right. I'm totally up for wiping everything, but not unless it's necessary.

thx again.

I haven't used my Mac in quite a long time so I'm unsure of what process you should employ in that case. Perhaps do a search on the clearweb for "keylogger mac time machine" etc. and see what information you can come up with?

Sorry I can't help more with that! :-\

Security / Re: Ex-GF stole computer and is blackmailing
« on: May 16, 2013, 12:01 am »
My psycho ex-girlfriend stole my computer that I have been conducting SR business on for almost a year now and she has had it for a week and a half. The only program I have is TOR and she is extorting me every day saying she is going to "turn it in". Should I be worried? My house is clean and I am getting out of the game.

Any advice? I am keeping completely cool.

In what way is she extorting you? As in what is she demanding? That will determine the best course of action to take. There's a smart way and a stupid way to do everything; let's try figure out the smart way! The stupid way ALWAYS ends badly!!

Understood.

I think I'll just eat the money, and move on with the new account. It seems clear that the money will be gone (assuming I can get access), and as a new user, I only had a few transactions on my record.

Is there some reason why this would be a bad idea?

Thanks again for all of the help.

Personally, if it were me, I would want to make sure that the account was indeed compromised so as I have some idea what happened. If you didn't go to a phishing site then it's possible that there is a keylogger on your system. Again, if it were me, I'd scan for loggers and rootkits, then completely format my hard-drive, do a clean install of my operating system and create another brand new account.

If it is indeed a logger then it is still there and somebody has access to your new account too. If it was the case that you accessed a phishing site then that worry is no longer there with your new account, but I still wouldn't feel 100% safe until I'd done a clean install of my operating system and created a brand new account.

Sometimes when we're playing around with Bitcoin it doesn't seem like 'real' money - but if your system is compromised, you WILL lose more in the future.

Backup all your important data to an external hard drive, scan it with as many different anti-virus / anti-malware / anti-spyware / anti-rootkit programs as possible (preferably portable versions), then re-install your OS and create a new account; that might seem overkill but that's what I would do if it were me.

Fuckin ay!
sorted ;)
May litres of bliss n gratitude rain down upon thee!
checked out all the links; the blockchain is great to know about though i dont think i fully understand it all yet... so as i see it so far the transfers made are supported by the 'mining' process, and the reason it took longer this time is because theres a differed balance between people 'mining'(mining being the process of supporting transactions for others?) and people transferring as last time i made a transfer to SR?
and the number of confirmations is relative to the support and surety that the transfer has happened?
but then that begs the question of why the confirmations keep rising beyond it being confirmed adequately for the transfer to occur?? if this is the way it works i must question if a transfer can be 'un-mined' because the transfer happens at 6 or so confirmations but it continues to be confirmed.... why continue beyond 6? i thought confirmation would be definitive?
the transfer in question is now sitting on 96 confirmations, however previous transfers show no register of confirmations... who many before its decided that the transfer is fully confirmed?

Ahhhhh complex shit ay! monstrous head fuckery! haha, love it! produced by advanced anarchistic principles, im damn glad this kinda freedom has been created, and the fact its supported and used shows me theres an intelligently collaborated crew against the regular, and making their own!

Thanks again good cunts!! xo

Great, glad to hear your deposit has arrived! :)

'Mining' is the process of using computer/graphic/microchip power to solve complex mathematical algorithms in order to produce a new 'block' and add it to the blockchain. This block contains a record of all Bitcoin transactions that have occurred since the last block was added, and so on so forth. Each time a new block is added to the blockchain, the transaction that occurred in the previous block gets another confirmation. The more confirmations a block has, the harder it is to theoretically undo it. It's like building a wall block by block from the ground up - the more blocks you add to the wall, the harder it is to get at or move the blocks lower down. :)

With enough computer processing power, an entity could theoretically reverse the transactions that occurred previously in the blockchain. However, it takes significantly more power to do this the more confirmations (or blocks on top of it) that the transaction has, hence the increasing number of confirmations for each transaction as blocks are added!

Generally speaking, a transfer is considered fully confirmed by most people once it has reached 3 confirmations. This may increase to 6 confirmations due to the huge amount of processing power that is going to be released into the mining system in the coming months to safeguard against the possibility of a single group temporarily amassing enough processing power to cause a 'fork' in the blockchain. You'll have to read more about that over on the Bitcoin Wiki though, I'm afraid! ;)

As for this:

Thanks again good cunts!! xo

Cracked up! ;D

Hi,

Here are the exact messages I sent:

Message 1:

Hi,

SR was working fine today until I updated the Tor software. Since then, I haven't been able to log on using three different computers.

I was concerned that someone had used my passphrase to login and lock me out, but the SR subreddit thought that was unlikely, and suggested I have the passphrase reset.

This is a request to do so. I have created this new account so that I could contact support. My locked-up account is "alexcutter", and as of this morning, had about $130 in the account.

Please let me know if you need any additional info from me to get the process going.

thanks in advance.


Message 2:

I purchased Bitcoins from CoinXchange if that helps.

Ah, I think I see the problem. SR Support directed you back to the F.A.Q. as they require the following:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_forgot_my_passphrase.
Quote
I forgot my passphrase.

You must create a new account and message support with the last address you deposited bitcoins to, along with any other information that can help us connect you to the account.

Telling them that the last deposit came from CoinXchange doesn't help at all as all Bitcoin addresses are random - there is no way to tell where addresses originate.

If you haven't been able to login from three different computers then it is unfortunately highly likely that your account has been compromised. :(

What you'll need to do is find the last SR deposit address that you sent Bitcoin to, along with any other information that may help prove that you are who you say you are (such as recent transaction dates / amounts / items etc.) and send all of that back to SR Support in response to the message they sent back to you.

I just bought a MP from the store and was going to trade it for some BTC from a vendor on SR, but it seems like everyone I talk to uses Dwalla or w/e the fuck it is and it's shut down by the government I guess.

So I have no clue what to do now, I am stuck with this MP and don't know how else to trade this MP in for some BTCS.

Can anyone give me some advice on the issue?

Not sure if you've seen it already or if it's simply not of any help, but just in case, you can see my response to your other topic here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=160128.msg1131563#msg1131563

Check out the link in the 'getting Bitcoins' section of the Buyer's Guide, you might find a way to change your MP to BTC there.

Silk Road discussion / Re: Need advice
« on: May 15, 2013, 11:09 pm »
@ Libertas, I apologize to you and any other mod or respected vendor. I hope that those that know a bit about me know that I am not just trying to cause strife in here or any other thread. I have a very protective nature for the persons that seem to have the best interest of those that serve and those that needing to be served. This jack bag rubbed several people I hold in high regard in another thread, M review, which is where I first encountered his total disregard for the people that make this forum the best I have ever seen. Of course this is the only one I have ever participated in, and that is because you mods do allow the freedom to speak our minds. Ya'll let those that need to defend themselves the opportunity to do so and those of us that call the BS BS are also free to do so, and for this I Salute you mods.

I do hope this has been clear to my intentions and attitude. I do not apologize for my attitude. I stand by it and for the people that have earned the respect, which is pretty simple. Be nice when needed, be firm in your beliefs and do not lie, cheat or steel, pretty simple huh?  I Love this place and Respect the ROAD..

PS I do not disagree with you on this thread..

Peace and Love, lol   ;)

@ Jackofspades, long live the "KING"  hahaha  :)

There is absolutely no need to apologise for speaking your mind, SOUTHPAW! We greatly appreciate the kinds words though, thank you! :)

Hi all,

I received the following "form" reply from support:

"Thank you for submitting your question to the Silk Road support staff. The answer to your question can be found by reading the Wiki, found here: (dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki)."

The subject header said to read the FAQ. Which I already had. The link included in the message isn't working.

Is this just some automated response that precedes a real message?

thx again

No, that's not an automated response. They are describing the PIN reset process. The process for resetting your passphrase can be found here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_forgot_my_passphrase.

Is there any chance that you perhaps asked them to reset your PIN instead of your passphrase?

Thanks again man Libertas!

I thought as much, that contacting support will not give a better estimate than yours. Itś good enough though and iḿ gonna stop counting on it being resolved and instead see it as a potential nice suprise when it gets resolved. Iḿ counting on getting a full refund here but iḿ not sure how the judgement is done but i feel that the actual "evidence" all point in my favour. The vendor had some old accusations of scamming occasionally but pages full of perfect feedback inbetween and i was reassured that the latest 10-15 orders or so were very quick and no problems so i placed it.

My order was sent a little too quickly (in the morning after an hour of ordering) but never arrived. I was very cool first in my communications, giving them a chance to save face and send it even though they already "shipped" it in SR. But no response and by then i had serious concerns. At the same time several other buyers had left new feedback regarding the same thing and someone even had theirs resolved fully by then. No answers to any communications from me and i took it to res-center and one line of text from the seller was the only communication i have ever seen from them about this, last day before it was due.
It was that others had got their shipments. Obviously this was true, but the contrary also happened to others. It actually isnt saying that they actually sent it, either.

Their vendning also stopped because of some strange issue but would return by a specified date 2-4 days ahead. This was like a month ago and still not vendning openly (gets feedback without listings)  and more scam-alerts have showed up. My stats are 0 auto-finalize and 0 resolved. I always pay as soon as it arrives and i take pride in not being a scammer and that pisses me off, that they are implying that on me. If they had been given me a reasonable explanation and made me secure in that they had done their part then i might even have accepted it if i was reimbursed the next order or something (too much money to just give away) but by ignoring me until the last day before its due in res.center saying i will get 0 % is just not believable to me i would have been raided by now if it was intercepted, and its domestic! All other orders have worked just fine afterwards (and before).  >:(

Bdylan: Do you communicate in english and are your vendors communication in english? Some of the communications in my case is in a european language and i suppose if they want that evaluated they need to understand it properly which i suppose they cant qucikstep over it.

Sorry for the long post. Some nights afterhours i just can seem to sleep and tend to make long posts. It might be the hard drugs, or the coffee i drank black last week.   ???

Not at all, I enjoy reading long posts that people have put some thought and effort into! :)

DPR actually has a thread in the main forum regarding the Support delays, if you'd like the check that out:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=159668.0

You can read more about how resolutions are decided at the following SR Wiki pages:

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

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

The administrator in charge of the resolution will check through the histories of both buyer and seller, amongst other things, in order to come to an informed decision about what a fair resolution would be.

Hope it works out for you in any event! :)
