Silk Road forums

Not that I'm aware of no.

yes i have a account, and same credentials, but never use.

When you opened the Atlantis account using the same credentials your details were phished and someone logged into your SR account and stole your bitcoins I'm afraid.

Please change your SR pass phrase and PIN before using the account again and never use the same credentials for any of your online accounts, you are leaving yourself wide open to being scammed.

Please refer to this thread:

Given this issue appears to have been resolved I an unsticking this thread.

Whoa, IMB's added some "special" listings to his vendor page, lol.

LOL.  Never seen that on SR before =D

Yeah I'd definitely want a sample first!

Hahaha just taken a look, first time i've seen a vendor offering 'those' types of listings :p

Being the OP of this thread I am obviously very happy to see how it has helped shape change shipping practices to safer methods using non permeable packaging.

Customs are not sitting idly by though and I have it on good authority AU customs have changed their tactics, they may be scanning more letter mail than before or as someone recently suggested to me they could be using other methods to detect MBB, e.g. metal detection.

I have no solid proof of either of these theories but having recently lost an MBB'd order from a vendor whom I trust, I can therefore only conclude that my letter was subjected to something more than a canine sweep, or I just got unlucky, who knows...

So I open this up for further discussion, it is good to keep evolving so now I am going to see if there are MBB's that do not have a metalized layer.

PIN resets are automated so the only way to resolve the issue is via the market site. If the reset hasn't worked for some reason you will need to contact SR support and see what they have to say, it may mean that you have to reset it again though. That's about as much as anyone will be able to tell you on the forums, best you speak with SR support.

Very real possibility that I lost $200 dollars if this somehow doesn't fix itself.

I was in the middle of moving my coins from Coinbase to Blockchain Wallet w/ TOR and then sent them to SR.
However, shortly after I did this - my power went out.
I lost essentially lost all information on the Wallet, because I hadn't backed anything up and the coins had already been sent to SR successfully.

Given that the coins had already been sent successfully I'm hoping support can still verify the address and the transfer.
I've never had something like this happen, as obviously the power outage was beyond my control.
But considering they got sent to SR, I should be fine.  Otherwise the Wallet would be unrecoverable.

Hopeful that things get worked out.
Actually started freaking out for a bit, but managed to calm myself down once I explained the rationale.
I usually back up everything, securely, and encrypted.  Unfortunately, with the timing of the power outage this was beyond my control.

None the less, this was a major buzz kill and my morning had been glowing up until this happened.
Guess it's pretty much damage control from here on out, and hope for the best and expect the worst.
My luck has just been awful lately, man it's been such a rough past few days.


Vanquish

Silk Road Support was quick and fast to respond and correct the issue.  Major karma and appreciation!

I am pleased to hear it Vanquish, as I have said before everyone just needs to take a breath and be patient in situations like this, your coins are not lost or stolen etc, they are just delayed and and everyone will have their issues resolved sooner or later.

So what's up with the free G? Im seriously interested and will give an unbiased review. What's up Kirby?

did he ever end up offering you the free G to prove the quality?

Or was it just ANOTHER bullshit story?  (my bet is it was another bullshit story)

Nope. He never responded to me.

I hope he does, and it wasn't just more bullshit.
It would be a good way to bring back confidence.

either that, or maybe he should just quit.

The way some good forum folk were spoken to has put me off and was close to an order before all went dodgy.

Common courtesy costs nothing, if Kirby wants to run his mouth off and abuse those who were unhappy with his gear then that's up to him, it won't help his cause none but then again reading between the lines maybe he doesn't care anyway.

The ironic thing is he got off lightly with my feedback too, gave a 3/5 because I am kind, if I had given it the 1/5 it deserved it would have demolished his vendor stats, something he would do to remember next time he decides to tell his customers they are just junkies and need to lay off the coke.
