ok, ill check it out.

Hey mary666 how ya been?


checked it out.....seems like the btc there sells for $100-150 more than market rate

my search continues

You honestly won't find a place to purchase Bitcoin at market rate unless you sign up to an exchange, this will require you to give them your identification. If you want to go that route then I recommend you use [Clearnet] www.CoinBase.com if you're based in the USA or BitStamp if you're from Europe.

Unfortunately it seems the transaction hasn't been seen by the network, this isn't a fault on Silk Road's end, you'll need to troubleshoot the problem on your end.

What type of wallet did you send the funds from?

Hi Tempeldon,

If the transaction isn't showing up in the blockchain then there's nothing we can do to assist you, Silk Road hasn't recieved your funds.

Are you looking to delete an old forum account?

It will eventually work, I can only recommend that you keep trying until you're successful.

You'll only get scammed if you finalize early, auto-finalize is currently disabled so if you stay in escrow and you don't end up receiving your package then once the dispute center has been released you'll be able to dispute the transaction and receive a refund.

If you want to use other markets then that's fine too, I can understand if you're frustrated but running a marketplace like Silk Road isn't an easy task, there's much more to releasing features than simply coding them, you have to think about security to ensure the marketplace doesn't get compromised or even worse, law enforcement seize the marketplace all together - look what happened to Utopia!

It may take a while for everything to be up and running smoothly but the development team aren't willing to compromise on security just to get the features released quicker.
