In the event all other means of communication fail I have created a Twitter account. We can also use this in future to spread the word of our new market.

https://twitter.com/DreadPirateSR

Update: I have now also created a Reddit account under the username DreadPirateSR.

http://www.reddit.com/user/DreadPirateSR/

You should remember that accounts I create outside this forum can be taken over by law enforcement or the site operators so for all important messages I will PGP sign it and I will also sign any additional communications if you wish to check at any time.

I think I'd rather cut off a nipple than follow that twitter account. It would be about a subtle as walking around with red-eye wearing a hooded tracksuit covered in ganja leaves.... good to know we have a back-up to look for, just in case though...

Most of us know it is assumed that you need to use the proper precautions when checking on a twitter like this, but you should put a disclaimer anyway of how to do it properly. The last DPR that set something like this, did.

You do not need to follow it to read it and you do not need to check it over clear net.

Thank you for your work so far DPR.

Change the name of the site to something different, DONT EVER MAKE A TWITTER AND OR EVEN TALK ABOUT THE NEW SITE THROUGH CLEARNET, DONT BLAB YER MOUTH ABOUT IT TO EVERYONE KEEP IT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOR NOW AT LEAST, DONT GO AROUND BLABBING ABOUT THE LAUNCH DATE ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE (LE will probably break into this new SR within the first day of launch since everyone is talking about it all over the goddamn place they already know and then it'll just be another sting operation all over again for another 2 years or even shorter to get everyone they weren't able to get the first time.), DONT EVER DO ANY INTERVIEWS FOR ANYONE IN THE MEDIA OR MAINSTREAM, AND JUST DONT DO THE SAME SHIT THE OLD DPR DID....

I don't think you understand or are even thinking through what i just posted....This twitter account is no misdirection it's a twitter for communication if all goes wrong and it has been made way before the site has even launched... and they plan for others and maybe themselves to use it to spread the word of the new market, NO WORD SHOULD EVEN BE SPREAD ALL OVER THE CLEARNET of this new market it should all STAY HERE IN THESE FORUMS WITH THIS ORIGINAL SR COMMUNITY. NO NEW PEOPLE FOR NOW AND NO BEING LOUD MOUTHS ABOUT IT BLABBING MOUTHS ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE! It should be KEPT QUIET FOR NOW OR ELSE THEY WILL GET A HOLD OF IT THE FIRST DAY IT LAUNCHES!

I know what other mistakes the alleged DPR made (EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S ALL OVER THE MEDIA)

CanIHaveSome · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2013, 11:46:26 pm »

OK. Apparently I'm confused. If LE is monitoring the sites, why do people keep saying to keep hush about it? The forums are compromised. By compromised I mean LE is reading posts as suscribers and may be gearing up to make purchases. That's what they did the last time. What good is keeping hush about it? I would think the more people on board, the better.

Somebody please explain this so I can stop scratching my head.

When I make a purchase, I hope it's a legitimate purchase, but I do understand that I run the risk or ordering from a cop in disguise.

That's the risk I take.

By the way, PGP means nothing if you're ordering from undercover LE.

jakeyblues1987 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2013, 12:30:49 am »

always assume everyone is LE. No real way to guarantee anything. Everything is a risk, its not to keep it hush, its just not needed and a FYI for if something happens

sO_Raspy · « **Reply #22 on:** October 26, 2013, 02:12:35 am »

I know it seems silly, and even unsafe for the new DPR to create a Twitter account. For back up contact and especially for promotion of the new SR, but the new DPR here is FARR more security wise than the previous one. That is actually an understatement, expert in internet security and cryptography is more like it.

So, while i dont agree with this move, i do trust that he knows what hes doing.

baller69 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 26, 2013, 03:22:54 am »

a twitter account.... really? does that seem safe to you? in all seriousness I'm trying to figure out how creating a twitter account is a good idea at this stage.... the new site has not even launched and right now you're not held liable for anything so far. Why are you already creating a twitter "in case something goes wrong" I'm not trying to be rude or pessimistic i'm just trying to keep anonymity top priority.

Seriously I don't get the "hush hush" thing, LE knows we're here. LE is here amongst us 100%, why not bring more legit buyers and vendors around, the more of us there are the less likely they'll be to try to find me

Everything you write on these forums IS BEING READ BY LE. This is far from being a secret club.

Look man, this project isn't going to survive based upon being invisible. The Fed knows what we're doing--the only way forward is to craft a bulwark that they can't break, or at least slow them so far down that it is practically the same thing. Another thing to remember is that no incarnation of the Road, like any other project of freedom, will last unmolested forever. The point isn't to craft a market that will be invincible for fifty years--let's get another two or three good years out of SR v2, and then rock on into SR v3. Evolution, my man, continuous fucking improvement. Don't forget the ultimate lesson of the mixed market capitalist experiment of the last five hundred years or so--no party lasts forever.

oracle · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2013, 09:56:09 am »

This DPR is extremely good with security - both operational, logistical, physical and digital. Have faith.
And yes, the account is suspended as of right now. This same thing happened when the previous DPR made a Twitter account, and they re-instated it after a polite e-mail from him explaining that he will not be using this Twitter account to violate there terms of service or any criminal activity whatsoever. This is standard procedure for Twitter, and DPR knows how to sort this out.

Dread Pirate Roberts · « **Reply #35 on:** October 26, 2013, 10:36:57 am »

The account is currently suspended. Please see my letter to them below which I wish to make public.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The account DreadPirateSR has been suspended despite being in violation of none of your rules. I understand I am the figurehead of a forum which again is in violation of no law or rule at this point in time. The previous Dread Pirate Roberts account was also initially suspended but then reinstated so I would request that under the same guise I also be reinstated.

If you feel that the freedom to communicate with others under an pseudonym is a crime then please publicly state this and you have my full consent to make this statement public, but ultimately whether you allow me to maintain this account peacefully which has no commercial purpose or interest other than as a channel to communicate openly with others (in such a way no law will be violated) is your decision. This freedom of speech is protected by the first amendment in the constitution of the United States as follows:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Therefore, any decision to close, suspend or in any way inhibit the freedom of speech shall not be a matter of legal consequence but one which reflects the attitudes of Twitter towards a commitment of freedom of speech or lack thereof.

Wishing you the very best,
Dread Pirate Roberts

Surely you cant be that stupid. Do you really think changing the name will make ANY difference at all? And how the fuck do you propose to keep it a "secret" within the community? Have you ever tried to keep a secret with just one other person? what about 2 or 3? Now think of that task with a hundred, a thousand , 10 thousand people. It is impossible. Even if you restricted the launch address to just 100 people I would be willing to bet that the link would be published on the clear net within 24hrs, probably a lot less. Its futile to even attempt it. and I think you can quite safely assume LE is already monitoring these forums and the impending launch.

I imagine the idea with this launch is that they are aiming that security is water tight, the mistakes that were made last time that compromised the identity of individuals are not repeated. I would also imagine that that's exactly why the market hasn't launched yet, because they are making sure everything is perfect, checking everything twice, testing and retesting.

Not talking about it, changing the name, using nice language or a pretty color scheme is not going to bring ANY less heat nor will it result in less of an effort to get it shut down.

As long as the necessary security precautions are taken a twitter/reddit communication channel will not be any more risky than any of the other methods.

Like mentioned before, the LE are here and they know everything. If anthing we have been given a boost from the downfall of the original Silk Road. We know what mistakes that we cannot make and we also know about LE tactics. The more public this goes, the more customers and support Silk Road gains, and in my eyes that is a good thing. We need numbers to make the laws change and LE has drummed up enough media interest for this to happen.

Onwards and upwards says I.

seaofopium · « **Reply #41 on:** October 26, 2013, 04:50:39 pm »

I haven't really gotten into detail of the style of hidden market I am talking about, if I had the knowledge to create one I'd do so myself but if LE is already monitoring this forum it would be pointless to state such idea so they can read it and know how it would work. To me making a twitter and reddit account is pretty stupid. Sure these marketplaces aren't as hidden as they used to be and yea the media will most likely report of the new SR (if not the day launched then the day after it is launched) but what is the hurry man? people should really be taking the time to make sure this site will be better than the last SR, add new features into the site that would make it harder to crack, and maybe not launch it a month and 3 days after the last SR got seized... I am well aware the community has grown stronger and i am glad to be a part of the community but i do think we should take our time and maybe keep quiet for awhile and then just pop out of nowhere stronger than before. I mean not even a week or two after SR got seized there was already talk of 2.0 and way before 2.0 launches you got people putting the launch date out in the open on reddit 'November 5th' and now there's a twitter/reddit acct for dpr before the site even launches for 'if anything goes wrong' i mean why even make em? the last dpr did the same shit and when all went wrong they weren't even used so why bother with this new site? there should be a backup forum for the new site if all goes wrong that is kept in the dark by the sr team, vendors, and users of SR and the only way these backup forums are known of so we can communicate if all goes wrong is for the link to be passed down through encryption and not just posted on here so just anyone can know the link, but thinking back if LE become 'users' of this new site they'd know the link too but you see i think its way to soon to be launching i think they should really take more time to make sure EVERYTHING IS PERFECT make sure that if the site does get seized we wont lose our coins with it too but people could also move their coins from the new sr to another wallet if they arent gonna use them in case some shit goes down they dont lose their coins

btw on my end only two other close people that i know knew of SR and we kept it to ourselves instead of blowing it up to just anyone so there you go 3 people could keep a site like this to themselves and not blow it up or talk/brag about it to just anyone... its not my fault you guys love to blow shit up instead of keeping it to yourselves and trusted ones only... also we dont go talking about this type of shit on twitter or facebook like we're cool cause we buy shit online that's fucking stupid and anyone who does so deserves to get arrested...

As far as I am aware nobody is advertising on Facebook, but if they were then they deserve to be arrested. Why not tell other people? I doubt your going to tell your mam or dad, but rather people you know who take drugs. This is all over the news, everybody already knows about. If you had say 50 grand sitting in your account and the LE get hold of the new SR, would you not want some form of communication from DPR to let you know how to get them out? Nobody is saying that you have to follow DPR, the account is just there in case we need it. If people have such a problem with these accounts maybe you should just shop at BMR or Sheep. I honestly don't see how this affects our safety in any way.

OK. Apparently I'm confused. If LE is monitoring the sites, why do people keep saying to keep hush about it? The forums are compromised. By compromised I mean LE is reading posts as suscribers and may be gearing up to make purchases. That's what they did the last time. What good is keeping hush about it? I would think the more people on board, the better.

Somebody please explain this so I can stop scratching my head.

When I make a purchase, I hope it's a legitimate purchase, but I do understand that I run the risk or ordering from a cop in disguise.

That's the risk I take.

By the way, PGP means nothing if you're ordering from undercover LE.

You are correct. No real question to answer here. Any theory of keeping a new SR type market "secret" is essentially absurd.

And PGP is essential, but only as good as whoever is on the other side of the encrypted communication.

@seaofopium...

It makes zero difference how much SR is publicly known. This does not affect the security of the site nor the community in the slightest. You're missing the point completely.

LE are already entirely cogniscant of what is going on because they are reading the posts on this very forum right now. So what is it exactly that you suggest be hidden??

As long as DPR is tight with his architecture and opsec (as are we all) then it does not matter if SR is advertised on billboards on Times Square. And fuck, that's actually not a bad idea!

When using twitter and reddit you should probably install the requestpolicy addon and use a different virtual machine than you normally use unless you use tails. When using the clearnet the NSA may try to intercept the connection and exploit your browser. Having no hard disk in the computer when using tails may be of advantage as they may install malware on the mbr.

It is obvious this DPR has not learned from the last DPR.....A Twitter? '/DreadPirateSR' how fucking obvious is that? Then the new site is still gonna be called Silk Road? Change the name of the site to something different, DONT EVER MAKE A TWITTER AND OR EVEN TALK ABOUT THE NEW SITE THROUGH CLEARNET, DONT BLAB YER MOUTH ABOUT IT TO EVERYONE KEEP IT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOR NOW AT LEAST, DONT GO AROUND BLABBING ABOUT THE LAUNCH DATE ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE (LE will probably break into this new SR within the first day of launch since everyone is talking about it all over the goddamn place they already know and then it'll just be another sting operation all over again for another 2 years or even shorter to get everyone they weren't able to get the first time.), DONT EVER DO ANY INTERVIEWS FOR ANYONE IN THE MEDIA OR MAINSTREAM, AND JUST DONT DO THE SAME SHIT THE OLD DPR DID.... LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES....

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but i'm certain DPR is reading posts like this and thinking to himself "NO SHIT". Of course he has learned from the mistakes of the old DPR. He strikes me as much more knowledgable with his OPSEC and other things related to the technology being used. These other sites won't be used at all unless the site and forums are taken down for some reason. It's his ass that is on the line. It's funny for others to be lecturing him when he is the one who will get a severe prison sentence if caught. We all have to be responsible for our own security including DPR. I only wish i had his knowledge of all things security related. He could use each of these other sites daily and he'll still be safer than you and i combined. I'm going to concentrate on my security, and let him and others worry about theirs. After all, what else can we do?
In regards to him opening the site too fast, once again, i don't agree with you. It seems to me that DPR and other staff have been working on this around the clock. Given the level of knowledge they have about this subject they have probably gotten all sorts of things accomplished. What do you think the appropriate amount of time would be? Like i said before if something goes wrong he gets to serve the jail time. Given the stakes do you really think he will open things up before they are ready? I don't.

I can see it now, the billboard in Times Square hacked with the new SR logo advertising the wares of SR vendors and freedom of choice. We may see it some day.

There might be some big risk accessing clearnet from TOR. If DPR access his twitter from TOR his connection to TOR might be revealed.

According to The Grugq OPSEC the TOR network have some vulnerabilities.
There are only a few thousand nodes in the TOR network.
If someone controls a lot of nodes and are able to monitor entry and exit nodes, they can possibly unmask some users of the tor network that use those monitored nodes.
The percentage needed to do that is not so high, only 1% someone said. And we know LE controls a lot of nodes.
So every time a TOR user access clearnet there is a chance they might be unmasked and their anonymity is gone.

I do not know if this information is up to date but it until proven wrong i will assume it is.

That is why i recommend everyone to stay of clearnet even while using tor, especially using links sent in PM or links that can be connected or traced to you or your activities in any way. For example links on this forum and drug markets.
