Silk Road forums

It is a well-known fact that the hidden wiki provides a fake link and using it will get you phished.

Fear mongering threads ARE deleted.  I noticed this too.  Also deleted are any posts that may compete with SR such as other escrow services out there.

Lots of posts get deleted that may inhibit people to shop and buy.  They even try to hide the glitches and problems with security.  The image hack a few months ago was a good example.  They only reported it when they had no choice.  And even then,  some vendors went offline because there was no way to tell how deep this hack reaches or what .  The. The recent bitcoin appearing and disappearing.  They wouldn't say anything or shut down the site until it was too late or there was a risk of loosing money for SR.   It could have been reported right away.  It o Lu takes a few seconds to write a mass message to everyone right ?  It didn't go out , just a tiny wee little post by dpr saying don't worry just wait .  He was right .  He always is .  :-)

But it's a business here .  You can see how vendors would put pressure on SR to delete these posts that could slow sales.  It's good business. 

Disappointing post.  "We" don't hide glitches or problems or anything - whenever a problem arises, people post about it and those posts are addressed, not deleted or hidden.  The image glitch was addressed as well and there was no attempt to hide it either.  Not sure what you are getting at with this post of yours, but it makes it sound as though we are hiding serious issues from users and that is NOT the case.  Moderators here are privy to exactly the same information you all are - no more.  Posts are never censored unless they break the rules or endanger someone.

Iwill say this one more time. MY FRIEND GOES ON THE REGULAR INTERNET NO TOR NO .TO THE REGULAR INTERNET.... TYPES IN GOOGLE   SILK ROAD FORUM.   CLICKS ON IT AND GOES RITE TO SILK ROAD FORUMS END OF SENTENCE, EVERYBODY GET OFF MY BACK I DO NOT ACCESS SILK ROAD THIS WAY

Calm down, no one is on your back!!  A lot of what we are saying is for the benefit of everyone who is reading this thread!

My guess is the OP is talking about accessing SR via silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to ... you should NEVER ACCESS SR through a .to link!

How long ago was the order marked in transit?  Was it a domestic order?  We need more details in order to be able to give you advice on this.

That is totally up to you.  SR does have its own built-in coin tumbler and for many people, that is enough.  Others prefer sending to another wallet first.  It really is just a matter of what makes you feel the safest.

Sorry you were phished, but the coins are gone now.

Next time, always make sure you are NOT accessing SR from a link you've found elsewhere.  Try to memorize it.

Well, basically, use Mt Gox on clearnet - always - and use SR on TOR - always.  When you need to send coins to SR, withdraw them from Mt Gox and for the bitcoin deposit address, use your SR deposit address (found on your account page over on SR itself).  There is nothing about your SR wallet that identifies it as such -- so you don't need to worry about Mt Gox knowing that you're sending to SR, because it can't.  And, once the coins hit your SR wallet, they are automatically mixed by SR's built-in coin tumbler.
