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
