Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the road was run by an intelligence agency. TOR offers progresively better protection as more people use it, an untraceable slush fund is always useful, and it's not like the intelligence agencies have ever had a problem with supplying drugs.

Spit my coffee up... thanks for the uncomfortable giggle. :bigjoint:

I Read thru this whole thread and how everyone talks about it, it seems very difficult to use SR. Is there a thread or anything that shows you exactly what to do. I am not very computer literate.

Yea your right I am a idiot. Right after i posted i did google it and found multiples places explaining every detail. It does sm very time consuming. I found those exact links you posted. Thanks.

No problem man. But yeah, like I said... just time consuming. Although I do find the party about actually acquiring the BCs (the bank/money transfer part) to be confusing. But if it was easy then everyone would do it

It does seem time consuming but it's really not bad. You have to wait for the mail but it's much less work to get in the end. And it's not like face to face dealers are prompt. Once you've done it it's quite easy. Other than BC and encryption its just like using eBay!
 
SR is a decent place to get started, but it is safer to use online vendors who are not associated with that site. That site really has a target on its back from the DEA. There are plenty of sellers who just work through tormail who will be able to give you a better deal and a more secure sale.

The longest part about silk road is, waiting for your package. You can get your BTC in as little as a few hours. BTC are not something you should be worried about. Just keep them anonymous, and tumble them if you are paranoid. Just use bitinstant>instawallet>sr wallet. Or for the paranoid bitinstant>instawallet>btc fog>sr wallet. Major bank branch using trustcash is the way to go for getting BTC. Use fake names, stay safe. Watch out for cameras ;).

Sure, it may be safer, but that makes everybody more prone to scams. As long as you do your part and stay anonymous on the road, nothing can beat it. Since SR has a built in escrow system there really is no way for you to be scammed unless you hand the money over to the seller. THW has links to plenty of external drug sites, but they also run on SR and have a reputation. Still pretty overpriced but if you want drugs really bad, you can get them.

While you do usually end up paying a little more on SR the safety of the escrow system combined with the feedback system and the anonymity have value.

I learned about the tormail sellers from word of mouth, so I was not worried about getting scammed. I see what you are saying though. I just like not paying SR their 10% cut and not having anything to do with that website since so many people know about it.

How does the number of people who know about make any difference. Because the DEA wants to bust them but can't?

Hell everybody needs a cut. BTC companies take cuts as well. Bitinsant takes a cut, bitcoin fog takes a cut, then SR takes a cut and there is shipping costs, etc. Overall the road is a great place, the forums are filled with trolls but other than that its nice to read around and see whats up over there. Lot's of invaluable information is on the deep net than you could imagine. Pretty mind blowing reading forums and things.

MrEDuck, I think we should make a thread on Tor in general, not just focus on SR, but that definitely should be a part of it. Getting people on the deepnet is not the problem. The problem for me is getting newbies and people that shouldn't be on the deep net. DEA is not what I was thinking of. I was thinking of some teenagers that browse rollitup find the clearly written guide to get on SR and purchase drugs, then get caught with them.

There's plenty of adults who shouldn't be using drugs as well. If you're not responsible enough to use them in a safe manner and it results in you getting caught that's your own fault. I wish drugs would be legalized and regulated in a manner that would make it harder for kids to obtain them, but that's a long way off. Kids are going to be stupid and do drugs, at least at a place like the road they know what they're getting.

although silk road hasn't been busted.... it should be known that tons of vendors there have been busted... and if you want to be a vendor there.... just expect to get busted within a couple years tops. They won't fuck with the consumers. So, unless you are planning on dealing from the sr, don't worry about the law just purchasing

I haven't seen anythign about a vendor being busted because of SR. A lot of them sell in person and get busted for that. If you're putting your actual return address on packages you deserve it.

the people from sr that I have heard of getting busted, were also dealing in person. that's what mainly got them fucked.

I think farmers market went down the same way. adam flowers was dealing in person with a CI. then they easily infiltrated the website and all contacts... i could be wrong.

but sr operates differently, so only individual people have been busted for now.

Also the farmer's market was using hushmail (I believe) or some other mostly anonymous email service that could be tracked and said right out in their TOS that they would always cooperate with law enforcement. Kinda defeats the purpose of anonymous email. I mean who else are you trying to hide from? If you're having an affair just set up a new email account and don't tell your SO about it. Unless they have some pretty good computer skills they're not going to find you.

yup that's exactly it. he stopped using hushmail in like '06 and went to tor (or whenever tor came out?)... but I think the seed was already planted.

I dealt with him over all those years. He is a good guy. Just a lazy pothead that got a little in over his head.
