For the last week there has been huge blocks of SR downtime with absolutely no announcement or reassurance from the staff. I have not been able to logon once in the last 24 hours+ despite sometimes trying for hours at a time, refreshing the page every minute.

Isn't this place supposed to be the professional one? Run by the guys who actually know what they're doing and are going to keep us more safe and secure than all the other sites?

Are you so ignorant that you cannot understand how much people freak out when you do this? Are you so absent-minded that you already forgot that everyone just got robbed for $100 million on Sheep? Have you forgotten that many people are still suspicious of this site and feel that there is LE involvement?

I would love to hear the justification for giving us zero information when the site has totally unplanned and extended downtime. I am a very small buyer and I am feeling this way... I really can't imagine how big vendors feel when this happens, especially the ones who got stung at Sheep... I don't understand how the vendors are not kicking up a storm en masse right now.

Even if the news is bad, for example SR is under DDoS.. AT LEAST TELL US SOMETHING? You give us absolutely zero information and it fucking scares people.

Right now all I want to do is get logged on and move my tiny amount of BTC off SR as soon as possible.

It must be said  I am getting increasingly worried that the admins don't really know when they have got themselves in to. Yes, this is an illegal marketplace BUT they started this with grand intentions and stand to make a lot of money from it. Whether or not this is illegal - we are the customers and where we spend our coin will make or break the marketplace. I am very nervous about leaving BTC in the system - If I feel this way how do the vendors feel. If sellers don't have confidence in the site then it will fail as they will go elsewhere.

Just a basic sticky thread with regular system updates could fix all of this doubt!
Prohibition does not work. It only serves to harm society and those that make the choice to use drugs. I believe that the road is the best place to educate and be educated on harm reduction.

I can't believe the 4 posts above u! There has been announcements, the site is only a month or so old, they have said they are implementing new features, sheep and bmr have gone down, they are adding these vendors aswel and just finished/finishing the old SR vendors for everyone so this is a great marketplace! Maybe there should be new features like customer membership or invite only to the forums so we actualy have people on here who are grateful to have this service!

@cascas if your trying to log on hours at a time refreshing this will not help the site.
I guarantee these members will not leave silkroad like they say they will come on the next day and carry on complaining.

Please don't leave your coins in your SR wallet. Only transfer them over to your SR wallet when you want to make a purchase.
Lets all be a little patient and see what pans out. Jumping to conclusions won't help anyone's cause. I'm not saying it's by any means easy to do, but none of us can do anything about something which is out of our control. :)

I think this, multiplied by the hundreds of other users doing the same thing, is probably, on the whole, contributing to the problem.

It is unlikely I will be here tomorrow complaining. Four weeks ago because of problems logging in to SR, I went and spent elsewhere. Today is my first return visit since then, and again it is impossible to log in to SR; and again my business will go elsewhere.

The OP was complaining about lack of information. People will put up with huge amounts of inconvenience as long as they know what's happening. If there are continual problems and information is not forthcoming then they will seek out alternatives, regardless of your guarantees.
The stupidity of the question is less important than the intelligence of the answer.

I see your posts everywhere telling people to chill out, but what makes you the expert? What makes you think you know exactly what's going on? For all you know the site could be under attack. Don't end up with your foot in your mouth. All anyone wants is some communication.

I don't know whats going on but i do know creating threads, causing panic and having a go at staff will not help. If the site was under attack there would be nothing you could do anyway.

The mods probably dont know whats going on themselves, they are just as in the dark as us I imagine. If this were a scam and dpr was pulling the plug I think they would of waited till btc raised to over $1000 to jump ship, the fact they wont make as much tells me its not a scam.

Exactly how many days since dpr last spoke?

I can understand everybodys frustration. I will speak to DPR and ask him to announce whats been going on over the last couple of days, I know the previous downtime was due to a patch being pushed that took a little longer than expected, im yet to hear what todays down time is about.

When the site was up it was running very smoothly,  and all the catagories have been completed. I imagine more updates are being pushed now.

Remember the original SR, Sheep and BMR all had many months to be created & tested before going live. This SR was created in 1 month from scratch, and its a live system that is improving every day, even if you cant see the improvements. I trust the team 100% and we are doing our best to get this site to its former original SR glory, and then beyond.

We just need you to bare with us, because things are improving every day.. I'll talk to DPR and ask him to make an announcement, however dont forget that his job doesn't end on the forums.

I can understand the frustration and paranoia with all that's happened in the last few months, but everyone needs to be patient. This isn't a huge corporate chain with thousands of employees, or a sizeable IT department. It's a black market site run by a few people. Give them time and be patient. Be thankful we're back in the first place

Hello,

Thanks sarge , my main worry is buyers who think that i would have caught their order before downtime will leave negative feedback due too late deliveries/dispatch

I will just have to go do post run of orders i caught up until yesterday am. Cannot believe how some users are creating panic and scare stories , it is a new sight , it will get better , it is teething problems all to be expected, be patient and do some thing else. It will be back.

Kindest Regards

Yeah, but the US Government was responsible for that site and... wait a minute... what are you saying here??

UPDATE: Just checked and it's back up, but with no captcha, so I can't log in. Hopefully it's a good sign to be partially back up...

They dont owe you an update every 5mins. They work hard, tirelessly round the clock no doubt.

This is not out the ordinary for a site thats been open for a month, launched in beta mode.

As for SR1, this was always happening. Yes downtime, security updates, site updates, the occasional ddos attack too. Do you think every time it was down it was announced?

Its what you get with dark markets. Its not ebay and its not a service with hundreds/thousands of technicians.

People really need to chill.

PGP verification is an additional security layer which is an option you will need to enable under the  SETTINGS tab. Here's how to check.

Log into SR. On the SR homepage, click on SETTINGS. Then make sure you have ticked the box under Enhanced Security -

Enable two-factor authentication using your PGP key.  Then click on Update User.

Thanks, I mentioned it in another post but not here; I had already checked and my key was there with verification turned on. I think it was because SR went down and I went back to login later but I hadn't logged out previously.

They dont owe you an update every 5mins. They work hard, tirelessly round the clock no doubt.

This is not out the ordinary for a site thats been open for a month, launched in beta mode.

As for SR1, this was always happening. Yes downtime, security updates, site updates, the occasional ddos attack too. Do you think every time it was down it was announced?...

SR1 did announce stuff in the later months when they realized how important it was. Yes, this is normal and we are not complaining about the downtime - just the lack of communication. True every 5 minutes would be an unreasonable expectation, however this was over 12 hours of downtime and silence.

I was able to log on more than once, see 2 deposits credited, and place 2 orders in the past 15 hours most of which occurred about 5 hours after the initial downtime started.

^THIS! (Love your name  ;D THE WIRE!)


Its not like silk road has some huge corporate office in silicon valley with 1000s of workers and is trying to keep up with amazon. Even FACEBOOK and YAHOO have had there sites go down without it being "planned"
Its an illegal website, that is run by a small group of people who are constantly risking life in jail
I think you can deal with some down time here or there.
THIS WEBSITE IS A PRIVILEGE not a right, dont like it go back to buying drugs in the hood.
In today's society we accept and to a point admire "dumb" its not cool to be smart anymore, instead we walk around and have conversations about nothing. We are digressing back into apes. The generations to come scare the living shit outta me.

Yet still I picture ChemCat chilling in a patio chair smoking a blunt with a few peanut butter cookies. Maybe tossing a few rocks every once in awhile until he gets really pissed and starts hugging people to death.

I guarantee these members will not leave silkroad like they say they will come on the next day and carry on complaining.

It is unlikely I will be here tomorrow complaining. Four weeks ago because of problems logging in to SR, I went and spent elsewhere. Today is my first return visit since then, and again it is impossible to log in to SR; and again my business will go elsewhere.

The OP was complaining about lack of information. People will put up with huge amounts of inconvenience as long as they know what's happening. If there are continual problems and information is not forthcoming then they will seek out alternatives, regardless of your guarantees.

So you have not used the site in a month? It has been up most of the time you were gone. DPR has a post about the attack AND others about what is going on with development and more.  There is no point to panic or create panic.

Doctor Clu where do you come up with this shit. I can envision Tang with a fresh glass orange Tang just a few ice cubes bouncing against the glass as he sits in his lazy chair typing as fast as he can in combat mode.

I'm on now

So am I, but it didn't ask for PGP verification which kind of makes me nervous. Anyone know why it didn't ask me to verify?

PGP verification is an additional security layer which is an option you will need to enable under the  SETTINGS tab. Here's how to check.

Log into SR. On the SR homepage, click on SETTINGS. Then make sure you have ticked the box under Enhanced Security -

Enable two-factor authentication using your PGP key.  Then click on Update User.

Two caveats: 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. (Not necessary for us, but at least one person may have pasted the wrong PGP key into the field, and been locked out of their account as a result.)

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.

PGP Key Fingerprint = D870 C6AC CC6E 46B0 E0C7  3955 B8F1 D88E BBF7 433B

Security is a bit like religion... some things have to be taken on faith.
Where security differs from religion is that security is NOT retroactive.
Unlike Christianity, where you can come to Jesus, be 'saved' and have all
your sins washed away, with security you can adopt Tails or PGP, and be
secure from that point forward, but rest assured that your previous sins
(security failings) WILL come back to haunt you and bite you in the ass.
The original DPR is the poster child for that, right now.
