For all those looking for Mr Ouid from SR1 with those ICE speed pills he has a private marketplace that you can order from.

I've placed more than a dozen orders of these pills since SR1 went down and I can confirm it's legit. I used to order ICE pills from him on SR1 and they are pretty much the same thing. To be totally honest they are about 5-10% weaker but the prices are super cheap. I have no affiliation with Mr.Ouid other than being a customer and just wanted to spread the word that he is still available. To me he is always been a stand up vendor.
Anyways don't take my word or trust what I say. Look at the facts. Check out his private marketplace(you need to sign up with your GPG key btw for added security), look at his product lineups and compare them to what Mr.Ouids SR1 product lineup was.
I think if more vendors created there own private marketplaces we wouldn't have to deal with the problem of a major darknet site going down. The issue of course is vendors for the most part are not programmers or web developers. Their main job is sourcing and selling drugs as well as customer service.
On top of that you need a strong understanding of security to create a strong marketplace as a single vendor. The simpler you make it(aka less features the better). Many exploits exist at the application layers, server configurations, sql injections, and the list goes on.
That being stated imagine if you will that a marketplace that has 1000 vendors having their own private marketplace instead of being in a big bucket in a public marketplace like Agora(I have nothing against Agora just used as an example). This would in turn require more effort for any three letter agencies to go after each vendor individually. Think about that.
Imagine I'm working for the FBI and I'm one their top security experts/hacker. All it would take is one flaw or mistake on a site like Agora and we have SR1 all over again. Now compare that to my previous example of private marketplaces. Sure some of those single vendor marketplaces will have varying levels of security but that being said it adds a substantial workload for LE to find them. It's kinda of like the same technique for investing by using diversity to mitigate risks and losses.
Sorry what started off as an attempt to provide a link to Mr.Ouids site turned to an essay style analysis of the current status of darknet markets and my own personal theories of what can be done better. I guess this also attests to the quality of these ICE pills.
I'd like to end with this though. October 4th, 2013. That day will forever be stamped in my memory. That morning. Server was up and down for the most part. Logins worked a few times until being kicked out. So I decided to go take a shower thinking it was just server maintainece. I came back to my laptop and saw the seized page and at first I thought it was a joke. Then I realized it wasn't and if there was ever a time I needed a xanax it would of been then.
Remember this - we all thought SR1 was untouchable except for the few enlightened people on the forums that had been warning others for months before the shutdown. Remember this - It will happen again so be prepared or be smarter than the other side.
