I put up 800usd to become a vendor. after meeting a few prerequisites I can request a bond refund I was granted that thinking I would get initial 800 or less back . it was thousands instead. I'd want to do it again. ya know?

Aaaah, that makes things a little clearer. Reading the earlier posts I was also like "???"!

You will get back the amount of Bitcoin that you pay into the bond, not a particular USD amount. The value of Bitcoin may rise or fall over the duration of the bond being held by Silk Road, but you will receive back exactly  the amount that you paid in Bitcoin.

Regarding an existing vendor account, once you satisfy the pre-requisites for receiving the bond refund then yes, you can apply to receive it back. If you are talking about a vendor account that you paid a fee for instead of a bond then no, the bond refund system does not apply.

Vendors buying previously to the new system being introduced paid a $150 FEE to obtain vending privileges.
Vendors buying after the new system was introduced are paying a $500 BOND to obtain vending privileges.

A fee, by definition, is money paid as part of a special transaction, e.g., for a privilege or for admission to something.
A bond, by definition, is a debt security under which the issuer owes the holder a debt and, depending on the terms of the bond, is obliged to repay the principal at a later date once those terms are met.

Newbie discussion / Re: House is rented out year after year
« on: May 08, 2013, 02:17 am »
I live in a house that I am renting for the year (along with other tenants). We still get mail from the previous tenants that were living here. I was wondering, for that extra layer of security, could I give the correct address, but put the name of previous tenants in the delivery address? Would that work at all?

I'm sure a number of people do that but one thing you have to be aware of is the possibility that the previous tenant can go to the post office at any time and request that their mail be forwarded to a new address instead of the old one. This may already be happening in this case, and you're just getting the junk mail in their names.
If you're getting bank statements and official government letters etc. I'd imagine its safe enough to use their name.

Keep in mind though that it doesn't actually add any security - if you're caught in possession of it, it won't matter what name it was addressed to whether it's John Smith or Mickey Mouse. The only benefit is being able to say "It must have been for the previous owner, we still get their mail"; the response to which -by a judge - would probably be "You were found in possession of drug X; therefore I am finding you guilty of possession of a controlled substance", possibly with an added "with intent for sale and supply" tacked on the end depending on your local laws regarding possession of controlled substances.

I completely agree. Could you imagine being them? CONSTANTLY lurking, all parts of the forum, just looking for questions that need to be answered?! They both have helped me today as a matter of fact, and were beyond courteous and professional. Props for sure! Also, how to add or subtract karma???

I can't speak for scout, but personally I like to wear a cape and a mask while I'm working. It just makes me feel like I'm making more of a difference. :P

As far as your question goes, the ability to give somebody positive or negative karma will be given to you at 100 posts. You then simply click the new [thank] or [discourage] option underneath their avatar to award positive or negative karma.

who can you trust these days...I can trust you guys and only you guys.

Many thanks to the mods, admins and every user. I wish that i could meet you all IRL and shake your hand, but for obvious reasons that wont happen. I hope to see you all in the next life. Be easy and keep this thread going!

I have to make a small correction there; you can trust NO ONE here. Everyone should be acting at all times as though everything is compromised in order to ensure that they do not slip up with their security measures. It is a well known fact that when you get more comfortable with something you get more sloppy with the measures you take to protect yourself from the dangers that may be presented by it. As DPR him/herself has stated back in June, 2011:

Hi everyone,
Things are going really well here.  There are many new buyers and sellers working well together, our servers are secure and humming along, and you may even start to feel comfortable.  DO NOT get comfortable!  This is not wal-mart, or even amazon.com.  It is the wild west and there are as many crooks as there are honest businessmen and women.  Keep your guard up and be safe, even paranoid.  If you buy from someone without reputation, get to know them really well through pm, and even then be suspicious.  Unfortunately it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch, and there are bad apples out there.  We've received some threatening messages and just want everyone to stay alert and careful.

Just start banning?  I have  a good idea of who we could start with BlackStone.

Freedom of speech is the most important thing to protect here. We frequently delete spam, however, so if it devolves into that I will discuss the best course of action with the other moderators.

Don't mean to rude but from now on somebody will take care of these issues.  I'm not your Daddy or Momma, I'm not a babysitter.  We like everybody on the forums but if you act up your gone.  Your account will stay because thats no harm done, thanks.  I feel like I'm a preschool teacher, act like and adult or leave.

BlackStone, I have already addressed you on your alternate account (S13) in this thread: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=157076.0

Your spamming is starting to get out of hand. Please take some time to consider what you're posting before you post.

Libertas,

I appreciate your help. The knowledge you gave me caused him to do a 100% refund on the order of 50 that was in dispute.  This was 2.05 Bitcoins.

I messaged him and told him that he truly owed me 2.57 bitcoins more, which is the amount that he had me sent outside of escrow.  Here is what is in my SR mailbox from LISTON in direct copy and paste quote:

liston(97)    fuck off now !

You deserve to lick my ass ...
you are a dirty scammer .. have the goods and now running for the money

Don't message me again .. or i shall send cocaine to your address ... and make all sorts of troubles for you in customs

Liston,    14 minutes    read
delete

What can I do about this?  For one, my PO Box expires in about three weeks, but I am going to have to go and open a new one tomorrow.  I don't order, nor except international packages, but this threat cannot stand.

I have excellent stats.  I just want to get what I pay for and avoid people like Liston.  I call him a selective scammer.  He has built up a rep, but if you read his review, they are littered with occasion reviews that say they got nothing and they are being ignored.  I think he did this because I only had 13 transactions and he thought he could win via his statistics in the resolution center, and besides that he wants to keep my other 2.57 Bitcoins.

DOESN'T THIS MEAN THAT HE HAS KEPT MY, AND ALL OF HIS CUSTOMERS ADDRESSES?  PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ONE.  IT DOESN'T INVOLVE MONEY, BUT A THREAT TO MY LIBERTY.

What can I do about this?  It is in my inbox.

Hi anonymousasshit,

I have PM'd you regarding this and reported it up the chain. If it is verified that this has taken place then the vendor in question will be dealt with by the administrative team. Threats by vendors are absolutely not tolerated in this community.

Thanks! They also sent me a private message on here. I'm assuming that they just spam everyone then? That's so annoying.

They send PMs to users that are marked as 'online'. To prevent this go to your forum account settings and untick the box for "Show others my online status".

Sorry guys - we delete the spammer and their posts as soon as we see them. All cleared up now.
You won't see them once you get to the main forums as they are contained here for the most part by the 50 post rule.

Okay, so my house has been robbed about 3 times in the past month, the first and second time money and some MDMA was taken. Well last week I got a security camera and I put like a QP of epsom salt in a bag and put it in my room. I came home from work today and the bag of salt was gone and there were no pics or video on my camera cuz I have it times to shut off at 4PM and I didnt get home til 430pm so I think it happened in that time frame. Anyways what is a good way to trap someone or something? I thought about putting 500mg of some china white in a capsule and when it turns up missing ill see who turns up dead, its their fault for mistaking it for MDMA lol but idk, gimmie some ideas for trapping someone for real. And yes I have an idea of who it is, but I just havent caught them on camera yet and I really dont care if they die cuz they are stealing my shit lol

Wait to see who is defecating EVERYWHERE because if they just snorted a QP of epsom salts they're going to be having a horrible, horrible time. Epsom salts act as a laxative in high doses.

Realistically though, exploding dye packs are your only man for the job. There are DIY guides online but be prepared for EVERYTHING that the dye touches to be permanently stained. If you use the right kind of dye it will stick to the person's skin for a number of days - how long can the person you think it is avoid you for? 8)

When will vendors be able to upload pictures again?

It's been awhile since we have been able to.

Hi clearance,

A number of vendors have stated that they are able to upload pictures by reducing the actual file size. You can find two examples of this in these posts:

I appreciate advice.  About an hour before I posted this, I placed an order and FE'd without even being asked to, but in the future I will Always take your advice and USE THE ESCROW system.

I want to clarify something that I said in my initial post, he didn't come out and say, I asked him to send money outside of escrow.  He does say that the order was for 150 and that he sent 150, but the dispute is over an order of 50.  Here are the details at the top of the Resolution Center:

Transaction details

    item: 50 Xanax 2mg bar's by Liston
    quantity: 1
    buyer: [retracted]
    seller: liston
    date shipped: April 17, 2013, *:33 am UTC
    due in: past due May 2, 2013, *:55 pm UTC

If the SR Admin reads our emails, he will see that Liston asked me to order 50, then send the balance of my BC account for the order of 150.  This is also supported by my transaction history, where you see an and order then a transfer:

send to    liston(97)    ฿-2.57    ฿0.00    April 17, 2013, *:18 am UTC
purchase    transaction #*********    ฿-2.05    ฿2.57    April 17, 2013, *:15 am UTC

I left out the exact times and trans # because I don't want to violate any rules by giving the specifics of my order, in case that could be used against SR or any of us.

I used your advice and added to the Resolution Center that the Admin should read our emails and that he violated the rules for sellers.

You have been an immense help and I suggest you go law school, if you haven't already.  You have a keen eye for the details and read and understand all the rules very thoroughly.   

By the way, can the SR Admin see my transaction details?  I have asked him to look at our emails, and my transaction records, because I assumed that was something the Admins could see.

NOTE
He marked it as shipped in the same hour, just 15 minutes after I sent him the transfer, which is common for him.   Might I add, this was a few hours after midnight in the Eastern Time Zone.

UPDATE
I added the following to the Resolution Center dispute between Liston and myself:

Admin,

After reading the rules and getting some advice, I consider the total amount of the order to be 4.62 Bitcoins. Liston clearly violated the terms he agreed to when becoming a vendor and thus, the total amount of the order which would constitute a 100% refund is 4.62 Bitcoins. I respectfully ask that you award me this amount, as the emails, transaction history, and the contents of this dispute here in the Resolutions Center prove that is the case.

send to liston(97) ฿-2.57 ฿0.00 April 17, 2013, 3:18 am UTC
purchase transaction #135c6500f7 ฿-2.05 ฿2.57 April 17, 2013, 3:15 am UTC


I am keeping my fingers crossed that Liston will see this, read the rules and realize his mistake and just send me back my BC.  I think I have already lost dollars, but I would like to get my total BC amount for the order back.

Once again, I am greatly appreciative of you and your lightening fast response to my concern in this matter.

The administrator will only consider the amount of Bitcoin that was held in escrow as contributing to the total amount of the order because that is the order that you made through the Silk Road order system. This is why staying in escrow is so important;once you send funds outside escrow there is literally nothing that can be done - they are gone.

A 100% refund will only constitute of the amount that was held in escrow but I hope you get a satisfactory result.

Locking this thread as resolved.

Hi RubberDuckie,

This happens because of the way Tor works - it appears to the forum as though we are using the same IP address. Unfortunately there's no way around it, you just have to go back and try again.

Newbie discussion / Re: Fake IDs by Ted Danzig???
« on: May 07, 2013, 11:20 pm »
Libertas,

You quoted him, did you actually read it? The first line says "UPDATE (4-23-2013)". That was two weeks ago... Before I was even interested. Since then I've seen his listing and much feedback posted about it, some as recent as a few hours. But as of today, the listing is gone. (It WAS there yesterday)

Thanks for trying to help, but my original question stands...

I did read it but it stands to reason that if he had something new to say about the situation such as "Group listings back at full capacity" or similar that he would update it there. I imagine he took down his listing either because he is very busy or because he didn't set the order quantity high enough again and they "ran out", as mentioned in that update. He is probably leaving the listing down until he can catch up on his workload.

Still though, the above is all conjecture on my part; your original question does indeed stand.
