Silk Road Forums

   On another note, I trust markets like Sheep and BMR more, because they are likely hosted in countries that are not the US' bitch.   DPR kept us at risk the entire time, so OpSec everyone, PGP should be mandatory, and to quote The Who, "We won't get fooled again!"  Thank you.

What makes you think this SR is hosting in USA?  I'm not saying I know where its hosted, but there's no evidence to say its the USA or even the new DPR is American But there's no evidence to say hes not also. this point is moot.

Also if Ross knew it was coming, why didn't he at least try and clean house to remove some of the evidence? Why did they catch him with his encrypted laptop turned on?

No matter which market place you use, please always use PGP for sensitive information

If you do use safe-mail, send your emails encrypted with PGP..

I have noticed, that safe-mail doesn't work when javascript is disabled.. I always have javascript disabled.

its a scam attempt.

quiet clever.. but definitely a scam.

I'm not sure if anyone has a backup copy of the old forums. they are still up if you dare venture there. (turn off javascript just to be safe)

However it would be good if we could all relevant/useful information on here..  You can cut and paste threads from the old forums, as some people already have,  or start a new thread.

LE Would be watching and logging pretty well every public black market.

You should always assume this. PGP all sensitive information.

And don't trust ANYONE with your real information

the general consensuses is why trust a third party with your security when you can do it your self with PGP?
 
I believe their system is probably safe, but it involves a level or trust that most people would rather not take.

in combination with your own PGP its perfectly safe.

I'd like to hear what everyone thinks. But personally I dont think its a good idea.

that would limit the customer base, and make them go elsewhere... It would only benefit the free marketplaces.

fees are still being worked out.

I believe they are going to benefit established vendors, but that's about all I can say about it for the moment.
