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 didnt 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 Sams pecker. The new SRs security eclipses its predecessor, DPR has network testers and hackers trying to tear the market site apart and you know what, they havent 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 DPRs move to get some factual and informative information out there. This isnt 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. Synergy
