Silk Road Forums

Guys,

Bitcoin transactions into SR can take upwards of 12 hours at times. This has to do with many factors, including and mainly the bitcoin network itself and the measures SR have put into place to make your transfers more difficult to enumerate.

There is no need to make a thread here or message support on the site unless you do not show your coins available after 12 hours.

letshug,

We support free speech here, however if you continue to derail this topic I will have to take measures to restrict your posting privileges.

A topic is just that, a topic. Please allow this topic to stay on TOPIC. You are more than welcome to post unrelated information in your own topics, but your derailing of legitimate discussion is not appreciated by the many members of this thread who have reported you.

Many thanks,

Stealth

Thanks Hiniguel! Most people forget I even exist. I'm just that stealthy.

I'm sorry - did I miss something or was the escrow returned? DPR was spooked and hit his killswitch. He folowed protocol as best he could and now the funds are back. I'm not sure what else you would like me to say about that. Something big spooked him. Suppose he stuck around and was arrested while in control of the escrow funds.

We'd be on the May 1 repayment plan.

I appreciate healthy skepticism, please understand this, but I do not appreciate the insinuation that we are a scam when we have gone above and beyond to prove our integrity.

Every one of us with orange bars, blue bars, vendors and many behind the scenes you will never see are some of the most hunted people on the planet. We're hunted because we believe in the idea that is Silk Road. I'm hunted every single day by multiple US and other federal agencies.

Please stop with the "they're going to run off with the money" posts. It is not going to happen. Period.

Chiming in here,

Since the cold storage release, bitcoin transactions are at a level we have never experienced before, and bitcoind is extremely resource intensive. Add to this the fact that our relaunch and the positive news has caused a massive influx of users and you have server overload.

We are responding bu upgrading infrastructure tonight.

I was going to throw in some sarcasm but decided against it as folks tend to take things quite literally here.

Do not post about harming people - would you like to make our public image worse? They already think we are a bunch of murdering pedophilia peddling gangsters. Lets not validate that, please?

Many thanks.

gbm,

I'm referring to the size of this hidden service and the insane amount of effort that has to go into having it remain hidden with such an intense traffic flow. The only hidden service ever to experience such volume as this was....Silk Road. The updates going on tonight have to do with, among other things, increasing the speed of bitcoin transactions on the site. It is a pain point that has to be addressed before all else.

If you'll recall, we have been here three months and the original was online over two years. Bare with us, as I continue to say, we are in the most capable hands that exist for this sort of an enterprise. It is going to be a fantastic year.
