Regarding Dream Market's IP address exposure... I already pointed it out 9 months ago. And, it's a red herring.

I reported on this 9 months ago.

See for yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/5873oq/is_this_speedstepper_from_dream_market_possibly/

I find it hilarious how much news is out there today about some other guys "discovery" - I already found it. And, Dream market still exists. it's a red herring. SpeedStepper did it on purpose to mislead people. He's probably getting a laugh out of all the news being generated all over it. People only now care because the AB and Hansa takedowns. If it was a real finding, LE would have taken them down long ago because you know they on this subreddit 24/7.

How would "uncovering" this be useful, more importantly, helpful to this community? Are you the fuckin F.B.I or something? I mean, who investigates shit like this?

The top comment summarizes exactly why we are experiencing a shitty week.

Is it?? Is it a Red Herring...wtf is a Red Herring??...are you sure it's not a "Blue Fin Tuna??"


[7 Points] luckylucyy:

I have it on good authority that it's actually a double fake. He faked people out with the fake IP and outted it himself, then made another Reddit account to say it's a red herring, but it truly is the real IP. Now no one's looking at that datacenter, fuckin juked.

You're not the only one to find it hilarious (yet maddening). Lots of people have pointed out that it could be a dead function (not referenced by any other code), how nothing of import seemed to be going there, how it could have been some test address used by the site's original coder, and yeah, even a false lead...as if only LE is capable of some sly tricks.


[2 Points] EnigmaMarket:

That IP better be a red herring for reals, otherwise it's already too late for him.

you know I would really believe the fake breadcrumbs theory if it was not dream we are talking about.


[1 Points] freshlysquosed:

Is SpeedStepper a Dream admin or something? If so, that's far too much of a coincidence. At this point I'd go for idiot over smart guy pranking us.

If it was a real finding, LE would have taken them down long ago

Why do people have such high opinions of LE? You bought their propaganda?


[1 Points] TILYouLoveDrugs:

If the leak is real, it doesn't necessarily mean that LE would've taken them down long time ago. They need to build a case first, investigations take time and loads of resources.

Either way, this type of misleading usually tends to backfire because the users, not the LE, can fuck things up by getting paranoid.


[1 Points] None:

Let's be real though. The moving on up song on the references page on the second video is pretty good for the video. I think Windows movie maker did a pretty good job of making this video. However gay this device may be, it truly is a good video. They could make decent money with the product here in America I believe. Maybe just speedstepper is just hosted on the same servers as dream market. Better than using freedom hosting imo pretty intelligent

What if it's really a honey pot leveling everyone into thinking it's not? LE is always trying to be one step ahead.

So if you all think Dream is fine, then go ahead and use it.
