Did you finalize early?

I did not

I would advise you to take the order to resolution and state your case to the administrator presiding over it.

Just doing my good deeds for the day No need for thanks Libertas, your the real help here, im just a shoe maker

Hey everybody needs shoes!

Hi all,

Per scout's suggestion, I'm cross posting this here from the newbie thread.

__________________________

SF was working fine earlier this morning (14th), until I was "disconnected".

I tried to reconnect several times without success. I noticed that the Tor update icon was flashing, and updated.

Still no luck logging in. I tried on my other computer (both are Macs running latest OS and latest Tor). No luck.

I tried creating a new SR account, and have been able to log in successfully.

I'm assuming someone figured out my passphrase, switched it out, and has locked my out of my account. Is that a fair assumption to make?

If so, do I have any recourse?

thx in advance.

EDIT: Since that time, I've messaged Support requesting to have my passphrase reset, and am currently awaiting a response.

Thanks!

Hi alexcutter,

If you were able to log in successfully on a new account but not on your old account then that narrows it down to an account-specific problem. Whilst its highly unlikely that someone figured out your passphrase (if it was in any complex), it is a possibility. There is also a minor possibility that there is an issue with your login credentials on Silk Road's end. It is more likely, however, that you entered your details into a site other the Silk Road and were the victim of phishing. If you have ever entered your PIN at login, that is what happened.

There is a page on the SR Wiki about phishing here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Trust_and_phishing

Please ensure that you ONLY access Silk Road at its correct URL:
silkroadvb5piz3r.onion

The only way this site will change is if DPR puts out a PGP signed message to that effect (which you should personally verify).

If you were a victim of phishing I'm afraid there is no recourse as Bitcoin transactions are irreversible by design and each member is responsible for their own security. Please ensure that your system is free from keyloggers / dataloggers and that you only ever enter your details into the URL above. Silk Road will NEVER ask you for your PIN.

You may be waiting a while for Support to get back to you due to a backlog; please see DPR's statement regarding that here:

This topic has been moved to Rumor mill (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?board=7.0).

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=104854.0

I think this thread has run its course. The OP knows what to do in future situations, the vendor has cancelled and refunded the buyer despite insisting that the package was sent and delivered and I'm sure he knows by now the opinion that others are developing. It has just devolved into a thread attacking the vendor, completely separate to the thread's topic.

Does anyone disagree with me locking this?

Hi my resolution has been under review since may 6th in a few hours it will be 10 days.  no one from resolution has said anything to me this is getting pretty ridiculous and frustrating. I can't come to an agreement with the vendor because he's garbage I need support to step in but no one has yet.  I checked the forum everyone saying average time is 48 hours I'm way passed that what do I do?

Hi bigdaddykane447,

Please see DPR's statement on the resolution delays here:

EDIT: Thread locked as resolved.

Oh, how do i go about getting a forged bank account in the US? Dont see that service anywhere.

It is highly unlikely that anyone you find on the deepweb will be providing such a service. If you see it advertised it is most likely a scam. However, there is at least one genuine vendor on Silk Road offering a fully anonymous bank account for a price (though I believe this is based in a European bank).

Did I miss something? Didn't the OP say he was in EU? If he did then this could be an option for the OP and it wouold be great  it is a EU bank....

You missed a little, RxKing. OP says he is in EU, but my response was to railroadbill, who is in the US.
