We've not had a problem withdrawing since yesterday we moved 18btc's off site to cash out in the $800's. Sheep's having growing pains we didn't panic. At least the crazy Czech's told people.
A comparison would be last November when Silkroad couldn't stay online due the massive registration increase or in April and May the DDoS attack and no one could get online. You couldn't get at your btc''s either. Being a vendor we wanted to move btc's out and could not. Last fall DPR kept the doors wide open so it was a shitshow trying to get online making it unbearlable to try to log on
We were a top 25% seller for over 1 year on SR and lost a good amount during the seizure. We learned that being "all in" on one site is not a good thing
Options:
70's Style - BMR - Backopy 's 4% low commission (bring your own customers, not a problem if you'/re established) site
*can leave feedback, have escrow, marginal customer service, sellers can cancel orders and product sort features
Sheep - a eastern European vessel to which not many know what's going on - 6.89% Commission & you don't need to bring your own customers. We're fortunate to have a good base
* cleaner gui, can leave feedback, have escrow, nominal customer service, sellers can cancel orders and product sort features
SR2 - We logged on looked around and it should IMO the launch should been stalled 1 month or 2 to implement basic buyer & seller required functionality. It has it's place as competition is good. While we appreciated Silkroad and it's ability to generate a sizable account base. The site now is SR2.
While I do miss Brad's brand of sarcasm and some other old crew. We'll not vend on this newly created site.
I do not recollect who said in a thread you watch all the big vendors. Let's watch.. wait and see..
The fact that SR2 gave the big ole USA the finger during it's opening launch using the seizure screen as a log in, DPR using a Twitter account and at least one mod who can't control their posts (which kind of reminds me of Limitless's banter back in the day) is reason enough for many to take their business elsewhere.
We wish site the best and in hopes that it prospers but it's never going to be the Prom Queen she was...
border warrior I presume the mod you are referring to is me and my uncontrolled post was the “SUCK IT FEDS” one? or are you referring to my other anti government posts? Well here is another.
Do you really believe that a few people on a forum cocking a snook at the FBI for their monumental waste of time in closing the original Silk Road down is going to draw additional heat? the fact that SR2.0 went live a little over 4 weeks from the takedown is more than enough motivation for them to feel seriously butt hurt and come after us.
Whether you like it on not we are out in the open now, more people than ever have heard about Silk Road and it is only going to get bigger, pretending we will be left alone if just stay quiet and try to fly under the radar is a little bit unrealistic. The very concept of flying under the radar on an illegal site selling drugs is absurd, just being operational is the biggest fuck you to the US government, I am sure my “SUCK IT FEDS” post didn’t bring about a special task force to silence these rambunctious upstarts who just wont roll over like good little sheeple and choke down some of Uncle Sam’s pecker.
The new SR’s security eclipses its predecessor, DPR has network testers and hackers trying to tear the market site apart and you know what, they haven’t been able to do it, at least not yet anyway.
He has built a fortress of a site, admittedly it is a bit light of functionality and features and yes it has some quirks that need resolving but when it gets up to full speed none of the other sites will be able to come close. BMR mopped up a lot of Silk Roads client base when the site was seized and many vendors have realised spreading themselves out over other sites hedges their risk. I am still confident though that many if not all the old SR vendors will return once it is out of its beta testing phase and where they go their customers follow.
I know you thought us reckless and maybe even foolish to launch in the way that we did but I say it would have made no difference to how we are viewed by the enemy and taking control of some of the media is long overdue, did you hear the bullshit that was being reported in the weeks after SR went down? unbelievable bullshit, we were all done a huge disservice so I applaud DPR’s move to get some factual and informative information out there.
This isn’t just about selling drugs you know, this is the catalyst for something much bigger and far more important for everyone whether they know it or not.
