I recommend the following:

1. Delete any EXIF data with exiftool.

To delete all metadata, I put the images into a folder and then run this command inside that folder:

exiftool -all= ./meta-data-delete-bucket/*.*

If you don't know how to use the command line, just learn to, it's not rocket science and you'll use that knowledge over and over again for all kinds of reasons.

2. I recommend using imgftw.com or anonfiles.com for image uploads. This is not because I trust them, it is because they don't have shitty designs that force you to load umpteen advertisements, fill in a thousand capchas or require JavaScript. You don't need to use an onionland image uploader, just get rid of the EXIF data.

It seems to be increasingly hard to use the web in an anonymous or even private way. A friend even told me there is Facebook "Like" buttons on streaming porn websites nowadays. WTF is that? What kind of Facebook friends do these people have? Brave new world never saw this coming.

Thanks for your input on this, pine. It is much appreciated! :)

Thread locked as resolved.

Read the Buyer's Guide, then the Seller's Guide, then the F.A.Q.

They are all available on the SR Wiki which you will find here:

If people don't read the forums, they weren't to know without checking feedback, he was top of the lists for stimulants, and they're listed in order of popularity. Someone said last week, that this is a shopping site like Amazon, and people don't check the Amazon forums, not everyone is into social networking. Some of us just want to buy drugs in a safe way with no hassle. We generally put our faith into presumptions a lot of the time, hey, he's top of the list, most popular crack. Also, drug users IRL aren't known for being trustworthy, so who do you believe if you look at some negative feedback? The vendor who spend $100's buying his vendor account, or a buyer/potential opportunist thief? I have only just started using the forums because of a few shared mix-ups from a vendor this last week. I now see them as invaluable research and communication tools. Good luck to all fellow travelers in finding, avoiding and reporting future scammers.  Hope all deals go smoothly from now on. Peace

Silk Road is NOT a shopping site like Amazon. It is a site where the majority of people purchasing on it are purchasing items that are illegal in their jurisdictions. Do NOT treat it as anything less.

As you said, the Silk Road forums are an invaluable tool that should be utilised previous to purchasing anything on the main site. However, as a result of clearnet services such as onion.to the entire forum is searchable by Google. Again, this is not Amazon. Act at ALL times as though the police are watching your every move. There is no security but the security that you, yourself, employ. The default security that is in place can not protect you if you choose to void it by doing something contrary to best practice.

I want to echo The comments on revealing ANY information that LE can link back to an individual. I first saw this post on SAM's feedback page and at least twice on the forums. After it is posted once it's game over and your personal information has been compromised. I believe that one of the Moderators has stated publicly that the forums don't have the security level the the SR site does.Would a moderator please re-post that information for all to see. If I had to guess I would guess that clipboard is young and inexperienced. Clipboard I'm not pinging on you but this is a serious endeavor you have embarked on and you should look before you leap ...... the consequences could be dire. Sorry you were taken ...... so was and I and a multitude of others but there has to be a certain level of taking responsibility when you FE. We all learned a valuable lesson.

The Silk Road forum is searchable on Google as a result of services such as onion.to and the like. As a result, any information that you post here IS likely to end up searchable on the clearnet. This is not amazon.com, nor the amazon.com forums, and should not be treated as such.

(If anyone is reading this post, do you realise that we still have an incorrect vendor's rating to fix up? And it has been inaccurate for months now? And reported time and again and ignore? THANKS!!!)

I'm not getting involved in this discussion any more than I have already because, quite frankly, I think it a little bit ridiculous that community members are bickering over something as innocuous as forum karma. I'm not going to be a person that minces my words, nor apologises for my actions in my tenure here as moderator: I have a job to do, and I will do it to the best of my ability regardless of whether others commend or criticise me for it.

Regarding the issue brought up in the quote above, please let me know what is going on with that situation and I will see if anything can be done about it.

Newbie discussion / Re: How to become a vendor?
« on: May 11, 2013, 08:24 pm »

ensure you have enough cashflow to last you a month of re-upping in case of finalisation delays / shipping delays etc.


Something that seems to get lost on a lot of new vendors unfortunately. :(

Indeed; they don't seem to do any worst-case scenario financial projections before they start vending, instead seemingly thinking "Oh I have product, people will buy every day, I'll be making money in a week!". Quite disconcerting. Even the smallest scale vendors need to think of things from a real-world large scale supplier's perspective:

To allow for the time it may take some packages to arrive, you need to think of it in terms of providing your product upfront to your customers (SR sales), then waiting 2 / 3 weeks for them to clear it (SR shipping time), then receiving your money (SR finalisation). Occasionally one of the people you are supplying will get busted, robbed, or won't pay you (SR resolution). The principle of the real-world drug business needs to be applied here by ALL vendors in order to effectively manage their cashflow.

I don't understand the rule that customers can only get 50% of the escrow money: it's ok in case the package get lost or seized
(although I think vendors should bear the responsibility of shipping success, so customers have more confidence and business grow)
but if it's a scam it's on 100% and basically vendors get the right to scam 50% on every order, I ain't right?

A resolution is decided based on the evidence provided - and available - to the administrator presiding over it. 100% refunds are given in many cases if the administrator feels it is justified. Other amounts are given depending on what the administrator feels is correct for the situation.

Knowledge is power thank you for your response. i'VE GOT TO change the way i think
 ive been sitting here thinking about what kind of low over head business i can start. Any ideas????
i'm going to rent a commercial unit in 3 days. Need ideas quick!!!

You shouldn't be renting a commercial unit if you have no business to put in it! ??? Come up with a solid, bulletproof plan (with both best-case and worst-case scenario financial projections) and THEN move with renting a place etc. Don't get ahead of yourself - doing so will cause you to trip.

After lucydrop drops major scam, FE was accepted by the majority as being a put on the fast lane to getting screwed. Lucy proved that even long time, trustworthy people can just go rouge one day and fuck tons of money out of people who trusted him.

^This, 100%!

Yeah sell what you've got on hand in eighths and quarters, maybe even grams. Get your name out there, get some good feedback and when you restock you should have no problems moving high volume with very happy customers

That is very good advice!

Hmm, that is rather strange, though it doesn't seem to be anything to worry about - perhaps a minor bug, but if it happens again please start a new thread about it.

Locking this as resolved (for now!!)

Bug reports / Re: I can't verify the fucking captcha!!
« on: May 11, 2013, 07:32 pm »
NOT FOR ME, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS SILK ROAD FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW.
I PUT IT DOWN TO MAINTENANCE BECAUSE OF THE ATTACKS - BUT EVEN NOW I CAN SEE THAT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE ACCESSING IT BUT ME.

EACH TIME - I ENTER MY USER NAME AND PASSWORD, THEN TYPE IN CAPTCHA AS SHOWN. THEN THE PAGE BEGINS TO START CONNECTING BUT THEN SIMPLY REFRESHES TO A BLANK LOGIN PAGE BUT WITH A DIFFERENT CAPTCHA.
THEN IF I GO TO RE-REGISTER A WHOLE NEW ACCOUNT, AND ENTER ALL NEW COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DETAILS, AND ONCE AGAIN IT WILL REFRESH TO THE LOGIN PAGE WITH EVERYTHING ALL BLANK AGAIN, AND A NEW CAPTCHA.

PLEASE HELP ME, I HAVE PROBABLY TRIED LOGGING IN OVER 100 TIMES, AND CREATING A MILLION WASTEFUL ACCOUNTS IN THE PROCESS.

THANKS

Hi bigfatcock,

Please do not type in all CAPS, it is much harder to read.

This thread is about not being able to enter the captcha on th Silk Road forum. Howeverm to address your issue:

Please ensure that you are using the latest update to the Tor Browser Bundle. Please also ensure that you are visiting the correct URL:

silkroadvb5piz3r.onion

There is no point in creating new accounts to try it from as it should work from either your original one, or the new one you set up. This last one may sound stupid but please also ensure that you are using CAPS in the right places. Try setting up a password such as "12345678", log in, then change that password to something more complex.

I got a verified Paypal and Ebay account  if anyone is interested. Perfect for this kind of situation.

Have you got a vendor account? Sales are NOT permitted without one.

I thought SR was against selling stolen property.

You are 100% correct, railroadbill. Silk Road does not allow the sale of stolen property, but PayPal and eBay accounts are not always stolen.
