Quote from: Ungoliant on March 06, 2012, 06:15 amIt's actually a fantastic idea but in order for it to be able to be implemented the site needs to be able to handle the physical volume of data transmission with dummy transactions. It would dramatically increase server load if it was incorporated into the site itself. DPR needs to be physically set up for such a thing, as the site has not always been extremely stable in the past.Yes, it will take a significant amount of legwork and frustration. But in the end, it would be worth the effort. It would make LEO's attempts to infiltrate or take down the site a Pyrrhic victory.As well as being more secure, the effort to expand server load could produce a more robust system, since you only need to slightly tweak the work of the virtual version of SR until you find time to add more hardware.Something that hasn't been mentioned, is that you need thousands of stock photographs of drugs from many amateur sources and some method to construct realistic sounding profiles (I have a reliable idea for that, but I'm not going to post it here). On the other hand, that you can manipulate TOR identities should make it an easier task, since you won't literally need thousand of bots sending you traffic, just a few in different locations.But yes, it's a lot of work. The requirements building stage would need to be very carefully thought out.Imagine! LE busts the Silk Road. And then fucking nothing! There won't be anything of statistical significance to distinguish a real transaction from a fake one. I think I'm permitted a trollololololololol here :)> DEA: They did illegal stuffs.> Judge: Can you prove it?> DEA: Well... Not from the hidden service itself, but we know vendor X, Y and Z sent x y z to buyer 1 2 3.> Judge: Case by case basis then?> DEA: ...It snatches 'The Big Bust' away. There will never will a 'Big Bust'. Only closing down the Road or a series of little busts at the most.I do believe that makes for a one sad sad panda.
