I've seen a lot of ups & downs & outages over the last year, and every time the slightest thing happens, the trolls, conspiracy theorists, fear mongers, naysayers & haters flood the forums with their doom & gloom, this is the end of SR nonsense. Each time something has happened, the site has come back better than before. When the site came back up on Tuesday, I replied to as many messages as I could and confirmed/shipped all outstanding orders before the site went down again. When it came back up, I did it again. I'm wasn't worried about the excessive funds sitting in escrow and whether buyers would be able to get back in & finalize, nor was I concerned by the fact that my withdrawals from SR weren't showing up in the blockchain (they since have). I packed and shipped when I could, and enjoyed a nice break and some downtime while the site offline. I also had a good laugh at the multitude of theories posted on the forums about what's really going on. I have faith in Silk Road. MJMuse
