I'd like to chime in here. Based on my discussions with the current DPR, I am confident that while nothing in this world is infallible.. the servers and security of both the marketplace (to come) and the (current) forums are probably as solid as can be. Much more so then the last go, and absolutely unparalleled to competitors. People learn from the mistakes of their predecessors.. and I can vouche that this DPR while extremely close to the previous DPR, is more competent with security. (No offense to previous DPR.. there is nothing but love for him/her. I will not refer to that DPR as Mr. Ulbricht until and if he is convicted). Take my word on it folks, I was very close to our former captain and the current DPR is well aware of that. I wouldn't be here for a minute longer then necessary if I felt it was an effort lacking rock solid security measures. That being said, never, ever, EVER forget to use PGP when discussing anything transactional, identifiable, or order related. Ever.
