At the top of the home page: "All items on Silk Road have been discounted up to 10% and more. Click here for details!"
And in the forums: "As most of you are aware, Silk Road has been
under a denial of service (DoS) attack for the last few days with the
site being virtually inaccessible for about 36 hours. This was the most
sophisticated attack we've seen in the history of the site by far. I
want to thank my team, and several volunteers from the community who
quickly came to my aid and provided excellent support. You know who you
are :) Ironically, I would also like to thank the attacker. "What
doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" couldn't be more true here.
We were forced to rethink our entire security system and configuration
and are substantially more robust and hardened for having gone through
this. I have zero respect for the attacker's tactics, but I have huge
respect for his intellect, giving me confidence that we can and will
overcome any future technology-based attacks on Silk Road.
I want to mark this victory as a milestone in the ongoing story of
our market by doing two things. One, we'll be having a sale effective
immediately until midnight (UTC) on the 27th. All items on the site are
commission free. I encourage any vendors who wish to join me in this
to mark down their listings as much as they can.
I am also publishing a document that is very important to me, the
Silk Road Charter. It has been a work in progress for a very long time,
and I am at last ready to share it with all of you. It has guided many
incredibly difficult decisions I've had to make along the way and will
continue to do so hopefully for years to come. Hopefully many of you
can identify with and find inspiration in it. Here's the link:
