This thread will be updated over time. When registering an account on the market site please ensure you include your PGP public key and activate the two-factor authentication as this will not only protect you against phishing it will also ensure you can validate yourself as the account owner should you be required to do so. At this point in time SR admins are unable to verify accounts via any other means, please ensure you use your PGP key in conjunction with your account. the two-factor authentication is NOT idiot-proof (not yet, anyway). 1) Paste the wrong public key into there, and you will be locked out of your account. There is no confirmation screen where someone can confirm they used the right key. 2) Keys generated by Kleopatra won't work, as they have NO encryption sub-key. Keys without an encryption sub-key will give an error. If you need to reset your market site pass phrase then you will need to contact Silk Road Support via the market site. To do this you will need to register a new temp account and click on where it says in the bottom right hand corner of the home page. Here is the link: http://silkroad6ownowfk.onion/users/support/message If you forget your forum password or you are no longer able to log into your account for some reason you will need to register a new temporary account and send a PGP signed message to a moderator requesting a password reset. Therefore please make sure that you include your PGP public key in your forum profile because without it, it may not be possible to verify you as the rightful owner of the account you have lost access too.

This issue can happen from time to time, deposits and/or withdrawals become delayed and when this happens the community can become highly anxious. The first thing you need to do before anything else is check the transaction via the block chain at this address: [Clearnet Warning]  https://blockchain.info/ If the transaction has received at least 6 confirmations and it has been over 8 hours since you initiated it then you should contact Silk Road admin support via the market site at this link: http://silkroad6ownowfk.onion/users/support/message Please be aware that you cannot get support for depot and withdrawal related issues via the forums as forum moderators have no administrator privileges on the market site.
