Silk Road forums

Hey SSBD how did your sample go? Was it up to scratch?

Never made it mate 

This issue with FE is you have released the coins to the recipient and there is no way of retrieving them, you should only FE when you are happy with your transaction and everything has been concluded to satisfaction. It is for this reason SR support is unable to assist you once you have finalized.

The BTC bubble is growing so god damn fast i dont know what to do.

I don't want to risk 1k for it to crash tomorrow.

On 144 atm. Will it reach $200 over night?

IMHO it's not a bubble, I'm sitting on my coins but in saying that $40 overnight increases are slightly concerning, I can $200 a coin soon and people will wish they had bought at $140.

AussieMitch how is your sphincter at the moment mate? Puckered up to the max I bet hahaha

A few mods and admins ? By the time they respond its too late as we seen with the latest scams.

Again, I didn't receive a scammer message on SR, so I only knew about this when someone reported it on the forums at which point I immediately sent DPR and inigo urgent messages to let them know about it.  So we weren't "too late" - I acted as quickly as I could, but only DPR and inigo have the power to address issues on the main SR site like these scam messages were.

Having more mods will not stem the tide of scammers, as the price of BTC keeps going up expect to see more opportunistic low life trying their luck with more and more scam attempts. The best defense is knowledge and I hate to say it but those mostly being scammed are green as grass newbies who do not use these forums to educate themselves. If more people took the time to do some reading before jumping in at the deep end or being seduced by too good to be true offers there would be far fewer victims. The number of newbies finding their way to SR now is growing all the time and the sheer number of those who demand immediate gratification with no investment of time effort and energy to learn the ropes is also growing.

Is that good enough for a multi million pound business?   

The scammers will always be here, there is nothing anyone can do to change that.

I do not make SR policy all I do know that DPR wants as few people as possible working for him for obvious reasons but ultimately it is not my place to comment on such matters, I am just here to do the job I am asked to do.
