“This attack is the most exhausting thing we have ever faced,” says Defon. “It is both psychological, with physical threats of real merit,
lulz Deafqualm.
This is more exhausting then stealing our moneys? Is it more exhausting than the night you ran like a rat when your doxxassed staff started going down in coordinated arrests across the world? Is it more exhausting than having to switch your username from DPR to deafqualm? is it more exhausting then putting 100% of the monies from cold storage to a hot wallet then essposedly signing off when the tranvestite malleyability hacked you? Is it more exhausting than operating all these dummy vendor accounts to suck coin in and spit out nothing. Is it more exhausting then having your right hand dude post child pornography from his collection and put everyone at risk? iZ it more exhausting than getting the monkey teenagers that are your client base believing that you are going to actually set up an escows whn in fact there is no escow being tested. Is it more exhausting trying to figure out how to tellz everyone that your parallel, shadow site 3rd party escrow did not work even on paper and nedver had a line of cose written? Iz it moar exhausting then planning on your excuse to rollz out the old escrow which has worked fine the whole time because that is the key to theft trey? Is it more exhausting than looking like a clownfish for never making a deadline? Is it more exhausting then writing manifestos claiming victory and total repayment when in factO you owe over $140,000 to just 3 vendors, abd another $60,000 to ther vendors?
Is it moar exhausting then wakimg up everysingle day not knowing whether this will end with youse in a US jail or whether one day everything will just go black like tony soprano becauze the people you fucked are closer to you now then EvaH,

I've had 1/3 of my stolen escrow repaid.
iremember him saying that 54% of the escrows had been victims - except the escrow was one single wallet. Everybody thinks they were one of the unlucky 54%.
Defcon seems happy for us to deposit money on silk road 2.0 now, but hasn't said what he did to fix the transaction malleability vulnerability.
I can imagine Defcon at school. "How's your grandad, defcon?" "My Grandad, Sir?" "how is he coping after your grandma's funeral?" "Funeral, Sir?" "Yes. You were off school last week to attend" "Oh, FUNERAL. Oh yes, very sad sir. But my grandad will prevail if you don't mention it again. he finds it all very upsetting"
When SR2 realized they were going to get away with it, they totally forgot about the dog-ate-my-homework transaction malleability problem they were supposed to have.
Don't ask about it. it would hurt our COMMUNITY.
Lets not forget that DPR2 was DDOSing the hell out of other markets in "our community", whilst also offering them the benefit of his security hardenning consultancy, before cracking up and running off. Or that all admin is done on the forums, because staff are scared to actually login to the marketplace server itself.
Its not all bad news for SR2. New vendor registrations have been closed for 6 months. With no escrow, scammers had a field day for a couple of months, got kicked off, and weren't able to restart under a new name. Most of the remaining vendors are the good ones (although Research_Chemicals_inc is still operating, with about 8% positive feedback)
SR2 is the Hard |rock nCafe of the darknet markets, full of drug tourists who just heard of it, having their moneybelt stolen by a frenchman while they pose with a lifesize cardboard cutout of Stallone.
They're ripe to be fleeced, but most surprisingly have their wool. The moment5 new vendor registrations open, the sharks will appear, talking too much about stealth and reship policy, "please read our full profile", "by ordering from us, you agree to our terms and conditions", and not talking about drugs enough.

Lol looking at how horrible SR2 is doing it really makes you miss SR1 like your dead grandmother.

We need to find a way to make it seem like Agora is shit in popular opinion, because the more popular these sites are the more the dipshit moms of 'Murica will campaign for them to be removed by name. In reality the Feds probably wouldn't have worked so hard to bring it down so fast if SR had just remained a small blip on the radar, a "secret" community that wasn't so easy to sign up for that some idiot 13 year old could get on there and order some fucking heroin.

"For the first time since its original incarnation’s launch in January 2011, Silk Road has been knocked off as the dark market’s leader. It now comes in third." Also, do these people even know what the fuck they're talking about? Silk Road got knocked off when it got seized. You can't hold SR2 to the same candle as SR. They rode the name as long as they could, and they've never been in first.
Defcon is a moron, always has been and SR2 needs to die. That's all I got.
