I found some more info on SR on the net but nothing specifically from Gawker...that article has been out since June...but I did find some more recent info about how the US Senate had dropped the heat about it.

Is that what you are talking about or something else?

  NYH.....There is a new article on Gawker now talking about guns on SR.  To quote...."You can now get a Glock with your LSD."

No, not really ...

Post by: nyhighlands on January 28, 2012, 01:46 am
Oh no...and that's true...but once word of that gets around....I had always seen the Weaponry section but it was like num chucks n throwing stars...then I saw ammo....then the next day, a 9mm Ruger or something tlike that....I'm not well versed on deadly weapons... on the front page and said "wtf?"

I thought SR wasn't looking at being an arms dealer or was that something else i read about not dealing in radioactive materials? 

Shrugs...well I'm done checking SR for the night...maybe it'll be back up tomorrow.

It's down my friend, take your family down to the shelter and prepare for the worst. We're all about to get revealed and taken to Gitmo. Hope you purchased "How to survive Torture for Dummies," in the digital goods section of SR!

Reconnecting to the Tor network helped me get a connection again a few days ago. You can try that. I can get onto Silk Road anyway...

It is up, I was having trouble connecting earlier, but keep trying it should connect eventually.

Also check out this great script warweed created, it tells you if SR is up or down, very cool stuff.

Last night at around 3:00 am SR was moving highly fast. I'm talking 5 second page loads. Which leads me to believe that the downtime is either immense traffic, or denial of service attacks. Maybe both.

I know this sounds obvious, but every time this happens someone goes on about how the Feds shut us down.  Nope. Just a server overload.

Great goes down right after I send some bitcoins to the escrow.  Now I have to wait a few days to see that they arrived.  Sigh..

Well, the way I look at it is this...I'd like improvements now...it gets to be a bit old after awhile...I've been around for a few months so this is a good thing...a little patience goes a ways.  Hang in there.

I really wish an admin or a mod would come out and say something official so we aren't all left in the dark. I mean we are the ones who do make them a lot of money...

Seems like Ive been spending about an hour to get on SR pretty much every time whats up with that? Totally unreliable
Title: Re: Silk Road Down?
Post by: Oz on February 02, 2012, 01:08 am
Can anyone get in SR? I've been trying for awhile..
Title: Re: Silk Road Down?
Post by: tony76 on February 02, 2012, 01:39 am
I have been trying to get on to SR for about 7 hours now and it's not working. Just keeps timing out.

It's stressing me out considering i can't see who has ordered what so i can start processing orders, to be able to get them out by tomorrow.

I just got in, but couldn't login for the past hour or so, even though the link below said it was up the whole time:

Tony try "get new identity" on your vidalia (tor) software. and then try again. sometimes you get stuck on a dead node. lots of frustration earlier but its working sporadically for me now

i like war's little bot works great so far

Title: Re: Silk Road Down?
Post by: nexus68 on February 02, 2012, 02:13 am
While not down I have been having loads of trouble actually getting on SR, all while warweed's bot says the site is up. It takes hours to actually connect to SR and once I do I am only able to navigate few pages before I get connection time outs...super annoying and it makes the site virtually unusable.

As other users are aware this has been happening since the gawker article was released...and I am not looking forward to this weekend.

Hope the new fucking Gawker article isn't to blame.

I personally think that we need to retaliate. Show them to keep their fuckin' mouths shut.
DDoS Gawker. Or maybe just find the authours personal site, DDoS it.
Get his Email, send him hate mail (from mailinator)
Maybe get his phone number, spoof our numbers and call the asshole. Let him know what we think

The cat is already out of the bag, what you are suggesting would bring nothing but more trouble/heat. We have just got to accept the fact that the world knows about SR...after all there is a very chance that you found out about SR as a result of the original gawker article...think about it...if they had kept their mouths shut you wouldn't be here.

I've been having the same problem with the timeouts. Haven't been able to get on SR once today.

I just received my orders and want to keep up my end of the bargain and finalize ASAP. This is stressing me out!
Title: Re: Silk Road Down?
Post by: isometricity on February 02, 2012, 03:03 am
I haven't been able to log on at all today either. Usually a "Use new identity" solves it, but no luck so far.

Post by: koala on February 02, 2012, 04:09 am
I tried constantly for about an hour and a half from 2-3:30pm est. Could not get on at all. Tried for about an hour off and on from 9:45-10:45pm and I was able to access the front page. And that is as far as I am. I hope they don't fuck up that MP I sent last night. I got a message, sucks I can't read it.
