I'm with you on this one, YHS. Guys, it's not about being right or wrong. I don't think the OP opened this thread to toot his own horn. I think he did it because he as he said something just isn't adding up and he's suspicious. He smells something fishy. He is a seeker of the truth and so am I. I too am not buying what oracle is selling and I posted in his thread as to why. He has def. changed his tone. It's funny how all the posts and evidence to support what I'm saying are now gone. Someone, either oracle or a mod, did some serious clean up work. Oracle has had a lot of posts deleted from that first 24 hours when the news was coming out. Oracle could only side with one mod and was skepitcal about the trustworthiness of the others. He said he felt that only Cirrus was a decent guy and made all the other mods sound crooked. But now in his important announcement thread he is saying oh everything is OK guys because the admins/mods are in control of the site. Well wait a second, oracle. Were you not just saying a couple of days ago about how the mods were immoral and couldn't be trusted? Now you start a thread telling us to trust them and you!? Yet he claims he was never a mod/admin/developer/vendor/buyer of any sorts. The guy took about a 7 weeks hiatus from even posting on the SR2 forums. From 11/7 through 12/20 the guy didn't post once. I can't speculate as to why that is, but to me it's suspicious for someone who claims to be in the know. Has anyone confirmed that oracle is who he says he is? I mean, has anyone confirmed an encrypted or signed message from him? For all we know the real oracle was banned his account was taken over by one of the immoral mods that the real oracle spoke about.
My biggest issue with oracle is that post where he divulged all of that information.
There were a couple big falsehoods in there. I know these to things to be false because I was present when they occured, or better when they did NOT occur.
There are many contradictions with certain admins and information out there, but I am not speculating or creating theory. We dont need people scared if there is no reason to be. If this effects no one and maybe keeps a couple people safe. Then fine.
That is why I asked defcon and oracle to message me so we can talk this out.
If I do not come to a conclusion why these falsehood got spread, then I will release which parts of the so called, "enlightenment" which he released are false. I will also bring proof which cannot be disagreed with. Verified pgp messages from some big players along with the private key and password the community can use to decrypt them. Plus more which I will not speak of until I know it is neccesary.
Just as a point I am pretty convinced that all of this misinformation and lying is here specifically to protect DPR2. Is that a bad thing? If it hurts no one and only protects him, then kudos.
Later I will explain everything. I am just preparing for that moment and some of the information to back me up would be in an archive of the old forums. So if anyone can get me a really full version, you should know you just might be saving a lot of people with your simple upload.
If I wanted to "toot my own horn" I would have just put all of the information out there.
The fact is I have been here since the beggining, and the silk road is the physical manifestation of everything I have faught for my whole life. I am not about to let it die because of a few greedy individuals.
Dont applaud me as of yet because I havent done anything.
It is all resting on defcon and oracle. It would seem oracle has not even viewed this thread.
I have been watching: silkroad5v7dywlc/index.php?action=who

I am pretty sure that his profile isnt set to not show that he is on when he is. I saw a green light by his name when he was logged on.
As said previously, I am speaking with defcon currently so his part will become clear to me soon. Something is definitly wrong with this picture I will tell you that much.
I am now sending the link to this thread to oracle. When he logs in hopefully he will see it. If anyone wants to help forward the link to oracle so he doesnt somehow look over just my one message it would be helpful. I dont want this ignored. Hopefully I will be able to answer some of the questions that are plagueing the community.
