Greetings,

I am AlphaWaves, head staff from SR3 & CM markets.
SR3 & CM have exit scammed.

Last december, BattleStar (SR3's owner) started to be paranoiac, he was afraid about CM/SR being compromised by LE.
He stopped working for the market, which lead to many issues as Paragon (main admin) did not have full servers access.
Payments were not being processed anymore and so, Paragon and I had to work on hotfixing this. For two months, we have been trying to keep SR & CM alive.
I warned all vendors from SR that the market was in a very unconfortable situation, and that they should not store too much money in Escrow.

Meanwhile, I started working on a new marketplace, where Paragon and I wanted to migrate all users from SR/CM to. So everything would be running smoothly again as we would not need BattleStar anymore.

At this point, I have no idea whether it is Paragon, or (and) BattleStar who initiated the exit scam.
Paragon was someone I trusted a lot, and I can hardly imagine him doing this.

When I contacted our vendors, I let them know about the new marketplace I was working on..
Here it is..
(removed for now)
It is fully functionnal (and better than SR3 ;) ).

For those who worked with me, you know how trusted I can be.
For those wondering if I am the real AlphaWaves, this message is signed. And if you dont have my pgp prior to this, you might remember my moto when i first started to work for SR.
"Death to all Betrayers".

I am so disgusted. While I never trusted BattleStar, I would never think Paragon would betray all of us.

I am willing to give bounties to everyone helping our new market to start running..

And if you have any question about SR / CM, how it worked from the inside.. or anything.. well I guess I can reveal everything now.

AW.

EDIT : Yes the new market is running. But reddit does not allow me to post url here. I have contacted reddit's DNM admin and let them know about the situation. DDW just replied "wait and see".

EDIT 2 : WEIRD situation. I just realized Escrow money from SR orders had not been taken away. At this point, I have no idea of whats going on. As DDW told me, "wait and see".

Stop using the SILK ROAD name!!!!


[4 Points] SporeBomber:

Cue the creation of Silk Road 4....


[7 Points] DareToHope:

As a pervious mod, I will suggest you should probably of separated your "market announcement" type of post from the exit scam confirmed post. Normally to announce a new market and then have it added to the url whitelist and superlist, you have to do a few things listed here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/darknetmarkets/wiki/superlist

Read the "How to Get Your Site Added to This List" and check the example posts to get an idea of what you should be posting in your "market announcement post" also just wait for the mods to get back to you, as i'm sure the answer will be similar to mine.


[2 Points] None:

I am sure I lost money because of your "warning to vendors" about the situation (gives reason for vendors to exit scam)


[3 Points] None:

Who are you? Why is this important ?


[3 Points] murderhomelesspeople:

You have to format your post properly for a pgp signature. Also nobody start clicking random links here until we get some better idea of whats going on.


[2 Points] AutoModerator:

/r/DarkNetMarkets currently does not allow random .onion links to be posted. If you wish to announce a new .onion market or service, please contact the moderators here so we can approve your post.

[2 Points] asfgdfhrthdbh:

It's awfully suspicious that this is not only a post about a market you worked on exit scamming, but also an advertisement for your new market that you said you worked on with someone who may have been involved in the exit scam. Who's to say AlphaWaves wasn't involved if there was an exit scam and isn't trying to do it again with this new market?


[2 Points] crazycooldood21:

So I was in the middle of a transaction and I had sent the money and everything and then the next day the site was unavailable what are the chances that I will receive the product?


[2 Points] chemtek140:

How about vendor status... I was just starting to establish a good reputation, and client base.... and its gone... Any chance of vendor accounts being given to previous vendors.. Only lost a thousand from this but still its a thousand that I should have...


[2 Points] Cloud9Supplies:

Dear AW

What a sad news, and we can only be positive about you. In the short time that we had been active on SR3 we made a great reputation thanks to your help and advice! Please know that we ''Cloud9Supplies'' will follow you anywhere if you start a new venture simply because you have been the best support from any darknet market we have ever seen. We still had also a lot in Escrow but that aside what worries us most is that we lost a lot of orders we had on a dailly basis on SR3. We already had FE and it was really our number 1 selling site. We really hope it might pop back up. But if you would start up your own things we will follow you to that market like mentioned before. We are just sad that somebody with your correct ethic way of thinking also got victimized by this situation and this is something you don't deserve.

Stay strong you have and will keep our support.

Cheers Cloud9Supplies

So... is Silk Road 3 dead forever?


[1 Points] None:

What's with the formatting? It SUCKS, this I am positive of.


[1 Points] stickyboom7:

Can you change the website design so it is similar to sr3? This one is kind of ugly in a sense.


[1 Points] Bamd3:

Bro what the fuck does anybody know how to get it in contact with vendor marcopolo420 my order was paid just want to know if it was shipped before the site got shut down


[1 Points] DevDonut:

Well my order shipped out 2 weeks ago and i had money in escrow. I hope it still gets here. It was theflyingdutchman so you think it shipped out?


[1 Points] surgikal2017:

Out of curiousity, I heard multiple vendors knew about the potential back out. Plenty dissapeared and took a bunch of transactions with them , there were good relationships to GuessGuess and CherryGarcia and FlyingDutchman (three of the few legit) , if anyone knows what markets they are on...

Thatd BE GREAT! Really wanna stick with the SRLeague Vendors and CMLeague Vendors

Spent a lot of time building up my account, really wanted to stick with the same peeps. Someone shoot me the Lunacy info, even WhiteAlien knew about it! P.S. Fuck Scammers _ RIP SR3


[1 Points] DevDonut:

Will someone pm the link to the new market. I really enjoyed CM.


[1 Points] None:

[1 Points] xanmen:

CHERRYGARCIA is waiting for everyone on Lunacy brothers and sisters. Let's get the train back on the track.


[1 Points] PointPerfect:

Could I get the lunacy link please
