Well some healthly skepticism and paranoia never hurt anyone, it is good to ask questions and challenge what you are not happy with. I do get the impression some of your anger towards SR might be misplaced but lets see what happens over the coming months, as things start to come together your feelings and attitudes might change, or not who knows.

At the end of the day we all want the same thing, a safe, secure and reliable service so if we are all pulling in that direction something good has gotta happen right? well I hope so anyway.

Apart from "I do get the impression some of your anger towards SR might be misplaced" you are turning out to be a good unbiased Mod Synergy. You did have that little mistake when you told a user to take their business elsewhere, but we all make mistakes & you said sorry so you have promise. Thanks!

Yes things might change. If anyone cares to read my earlier posts they would not know me as UKP2014 - that would be foolish. I did not sell to the US either but to UK & Euroland. If you read my bio (which I still have) I backed up SR to the hilt. Greed was never a part of my business there. It paid the bills. Am I impressed by $50000/month vendors? No but good for them....that was their game, not mine. I like less stress & I bet mine was much less than their's esp. with the added problem of laundering all that cash & doing 20 to life in a Supermax. Not for me, thank you. But I did enjoy my little chats with my SR friends/buyers & for me that's what it was about. Feel where I am coming from yet?


PS. The 'gentleman' who can't read 'Spastic' - what a gentle soul you are to make such statements. To my American friends 'spastic' was a 70's UK insult. A 'spastic' is slang for someone with cerebral palsy but was used as a general insult from those with a lack of grey matter. Nice man. Hope you do not have children who will inherit your idiot ways.

Yeah I think I was operating on about 5 hours sleep over 4 days when I cracked it at that buyer, with the site launch and everything else that was going on here their post really incensed me at the time, not the best look for mod hey

Sounds like you had a nice tidy little operation running, selling to regulars and turning enough sales to cover all your overheads and hopefully some play money too! there is no point taking all these risks if you aren't going to live a little along the way.

I hope you can come back to Silk Road and get it all back. For what it's worth I am very impressed with the way the new site has been put together and I don't mean functionality, that can come with time, the security is second to none. This gives me hope for the future because when SR1 went down I felt like I had lost one of the most important parts of my life and I don't mean the drugs either. It's this place, these forums and the people who reside here in cyber space.

The altruistic nature of this place blows my mind sometimes, I have witnessed and been on the receiving end of incredible acts of generosity and afforded a level of trust I wouldn't even extend to some of my close friends and all from people I will never even meet.

That is what the Feds and LEO do not get, we are not a ramshackle group of drug fiends, we are community of some of the most eclectic people I have ever met (figuratively).

You take our market and we build a new one, a better one. How can you not love that ingenuity and indefatigable determination to keep this going, makes me smile just thinking about it

^^^^ May I make a suggestion. Either do drugs or sell drugs but don't do both. Drug selling and drug using have no place together.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Make a valid point as you are coming across as a fool.

I think you might have overlooked the fact most of your posts are peppered with sarcasm, just sayin'

To funny, I just got that error message trying to post this!

That's because I posted the message right before you from your computer that I hacked :-)

My computer is wrapped in tin foil, you cannot frighten me Mr hacker man!

about 1/5 actions I take result in a server load error. Mixed with the "the last post from your IP was 0 seconds ago" problem and random redirects to the index page or other pages I didn't try to go to, it is very hard to use this forum.

The last post from this IP error will never go away, when everyone on here has the same IP its going to glitch from time to time.

Just hit back page arrow remembering to copy any text first before refreshing the page.

Well I personally love the new SR. Like Synergy said it is only in its infancy, give it some time and it will prevail. Bit harsh coming on here to rip the shit out of it though.

Some people are hard to please and some are just trolls.

Many of us have spent a lot of time and money just increasing our buyer and/or seller statistics on our respective accounts.

Is there any chance that any of that data was backed up anywhere and that it can be transferred to the new marketplace? I think if you are able to do this, and have some good way of verifying identity so that you can decide whether or not to actually transfer the backed up stats based on more than just username alone, then the new SR would easily take over the temporary Sheep and BMR marketplaces, as established buyers and sellers would go right back to where they have already established a good reputation. The challenge with new sites is that buyers who have been around for years and spent thousands are now being required to FE because they have no reputation to fall back on.

No, there is no back up.

We are all newbies again I'm afraid.

yo i cant even lie this new silkroad sucks honestly its nothing compared to SHEEP
i was kinda skeptical at first but sheep came thru i think its time to give up the throne

i fux with sheep foreal

i cant believe they made us wait this long for this pos they call sr replacement
im disgusted to even be apart of this new silkroad its garbage im not even sure its better than bmr
and to be honest i really dont even trust these guys i kinda just expected moree
but instead we got a serious downgrade
the funny part is this is most likely gonna get deleted
but i speak nothing but the truth sheep shittin on yall as far as an underground marketplace goes

If you knew how insecure the SMP site was you might think differently but its a free market and you are free to use whatever service meets your needs.

SR 2.0 is in its infancy, much of the functionality has yet to be implemented but its coming and coming soon. Personally I think building a hidden service from scratch in a little over 4 weeks is nothing short of a monumental achievement, you are of course completely oblivious to the extent of security that has been built into the new site, that was the first priority, make it bullet proof and the functions can follow.
