Pine may be a lot of things, but stupid is absolutely not one of them. She has more smarts than most of us on here combined and if she says something is a security risk than you better believe it IS a security risk. While it may not be a risk worth losing sleep over, she is correct that you may want to find another link to download the movie from. At least if your the kind of person who takes your anonymity very seriously and wants to cover 100% of your tracks.

Silk Road discussion / Re: update

Pablo is absolutely correct, I just presumed that DPR would be able to turn the switch and put the site back up as soon as he got back. I purposely didn't make any promises. What I can promise you, is that we're not taking this lightly. Security is the number one priority here, and in order to achieve that security, we need to take the time to make sure everything is just right before going back up online. I would hope you guys would rather have a top-notch secure system that takes a little longer to go up, then to have some half-ass glitchy mess go up immediately.

Please be patient, we will be back up soon.

Monday is not over yet..  :)


But if we're not up by midnight tonight. I'll give you guys a shocked face, something like this:  :o

Silk Road discussion / Official Update on the status of Silk Road
« on: November 10, 2012, 11:01 pm »
I am so sorry to leave you guys hanging for so long wondering what is going on with the site today. Let me just make everything clear and reassure you all that Silk Road has NOT been compromised, DPR has NOT been busted, and EVERYTHING IS OKAY!

Yes, we are having some technical difficulties. We have been making some serious overhauls and changes to the system, server, and website. While I cannot tell you exactly what is wrong today, I can assure you that we will fix it and have it back up soon. By soon, I mean I would be shocked if we didn't have it back up by Monday.

Please, I beg of you, don't start spreading any unnecessary rumors that will surely stir up chaos, fear, and confusion amongst out community.

To quote DPR himself, "We are in uncharted waters", and it appears that we have grown a little bit faster then we had anticipated. As a consequence, we are being plagued with all kinds of technical difficulties and poorly timed problems.

Our beloved captain Roberts will be online and addressing you guys sometime in the next 48 hours to explain whats been going on and what has and is being done to fix it. Please be patient and rest assured that all will be well soon.

Thank you for your understanding,
-Inigo

If it doesn't concern you that your tax dollars are funding drone strikes in Pakistan...

In an ideal world production would be decentralized regardless of climate or location, thus reducing the opportunities for monopolization. Synthetics for example (MDMA etc) are difficult to monopolize.

We're getting there. SR is part of that. If you support SR by buying through it, you're bringing the day closer that vertically integrated horizontally distributed corporations will manage production instead of States and Cartels. Significant amounts of production will still happen in poorer countries, as it should, but there will be less violence since distribution and the financial network are anonymous, which will foster more cooperative and competitive behavior among market participants. Key elements will be building the postal network in the 3rd world and the use of autonomous vehicles.

This is not a way forward. This is only way there is. There is no other way. Eventually even LEO will come to that conclusion.

I wish I could find a wife with your brain.  :)

You are right, if we are talking about the people we are today. But I assure you that we as a human race are quickly evolving into a much more intelligent and remarkably bright species. I predict that over the next 50 years or so we will make mind blowing progress in fields like psychology and eventually will be able to eradicate "less-than-perfect" mental health issues. I have enough faith in mankind to know that we will eventually be responsible enough to handle pure and absolute freedom and society will be able to function in a voluntary and co-operative manner.

Another point: If you look at the historical rate of how many hours the average man has to work each week to make enough wealth for him and his family to survive has been shrinking more and more over the years. Couple hundred years ago, they would have laughed at the idea of being able to provide for an entire family by working only 40 hours a week, with weekends off, and 2 weeks of vacation time each year. Continuing this trend, eventually we will make enough money to survive for a year on one day of work a week, maybe less. Imagine how much less violence there would be in a world without poverty and where everyone has perfect mental health. With the exponential growth rate we are on technologically, we are progressing faster than you can imagine.

In any case, just because a government exists doesn't mean its impossible for somebody to stockpile nukes in a major metropolitan area. A free market homeland security company could easily find enough demand to offer the service of keeping an eye on anyone who is acquiring nuclear materials and preventing disasters. I would trust that company to adapt, prosper, and succeed at deterring nuclear weapons way more than I trust the DHS to keep me safe.

It's all boils down to your beliefs on the true character of human nature. And I for one am very optimistic. :)

I may not agree, but your optimism is certainly "conntagious" :)

Well then first I shall earn the title rightfully.  :)

I worry about what my tax money is funding.  Evils perpetuated by the drug trade pale in comparison to the death & destruction metted out by the governments of the first world.

Finally, a rational man's perspective.  :)

Well said. VERY true.

I got 80btc for you if you can give me rainbow bars and the title "Terminator" inigo ;) Think about it.

That is a very tempting offer, but alas, I must refuse. In fact, I think I should probably revoke my Master Swordsman title, its really not fair for me to make up my own special titles...  :-[

Take PRIDE in your admirable participation in counter-economics. You are driving a free market force outside of the governments greedy reach. The only pure economy not being raped by scumbags who want to dominate and own it. Do not feel guilty! Your actions are worthy of praise and respect. YOU are a true revolutionary doing your part to free the world.

Maybe the Master Swordsman title is an abuse of power...  :-[

But I'm just such a nasty fencer, and since I slice and dice in the name of freedom, I kinda feel like I deserve it.  :D
