Title: Recent issues

In order to fight off the recent DoS attack we had to do substantial reconfiguration to the entire Silk Road system.  We are still working out the kinks, and there are a couple of isses that have to be addressed.  One is deposits and withdrawals not showing up in a timely manner.  We found one problem the new config was causing to this system and fixed it today, so deposits/withdrawals should be flowing now.  If you still don't have yours, please message support on the main site.

The other issue is being logged out seemingly at random.  We are still looking for the cause of this problem, but I assure you it is a top priority and we will get it fixed soon.

Thank you for your patience as we recover from the recent attack.

getting kicked out is only a minor convenience. If it helps from DDos attacks. I'm all for it

I'd leave the random logout....It'll kick people off the site who's just sitting there idle.  Could be a good thing.  But you've done an amazing job.  Major props to you.

Nice work DPR.  Thanks for the updates.   Too many people take this site for granted and I am amazed at some of the comments when things aren't always going according to plan.   This ain't Amazon......IT"S BETTER. :-)

Long Live the SR

thank for keeping us informed.
the site is working just fine for me since this afternoon... so I hope that'll be the case for everyone and that you'll have some time to light a joint, drop some acid and have a drink or a nice rock of MDMA to go with the acid & enjoy yourself a little to get rid of all that stress you've had over the last week(s)...
if you need company I can bring the acid  ;D

DPR, you are the man! I say this over and over again but myself and my family cannot thank you enough! Just a month and a half ago I had lost my career of over 15 years and financially things were getting bad for me. I had always been in the "game" in my younger years but I am to old to be doing any "street style" sales so actually being able to anonymously sell product to a huge customer base is literally a dream come true :) The subblemented income I make from vending here is helping me and my family live a better life and I owe it ALL to you. The site is running BEAUTIFULLY! I may be a new vendor but I have had a seperate buyer account for over a year and in that whole time I do not think the site has ever run this fast and perfect! Last night a withdrawal did take longer than usual but it arrived fine and I see you have fixed that issue so that's awesome! I honestly do not even mind the slight glitch of being logged off every once in a while if the site keeps operating like this! :)

Thanks again SO much for everything you've done DPR. You are a legend.

This should be a 1000+ page thread by now, like the one where everybody bitched about the down time so rapidly..

DPR- Much respect...words cannot describe, although you have seen the lives of many be changed as a result of this marketplace.

What I mean by that first sentence is there is never enough praise for the positive in a world where the negativity seems overwhelmingly abundant.

Peace all. Respect-

Many thanks to the team, to be honest I can't understand a lot of the complaining. If you expect no occasional problems when you buy things on the internet go to amazon and buy a book. We are in new territory here expect issues, report problems with grace and be grateful for what we have.
