t was a trial by fire, but we eventually passed. The site was down for almost a week. You can see it die on the historical charts. For the next 3 months, SYG had my full attention. I was basically at his mercy because he knew FreeBSD and I didn’t. We kept trying to implement different solutions, but he just kept dragging on and on. He was trying to get his bitcoin exchange thing going through the site at the same time and he just wasn’t giving the site everything he had. In the end, he milked me for the last few weeks and eventually I had to let him go. It was a really painful lesson, but one I hopefully won’t need to learn again. I eventually moved the site back to ubuntu where I am comfortable. At around the time SYG was falling out of favor, I started looking for someone new and utah was there. I gave him more and more responsibility and he gave me good time estimates and followed through on them. I was still working with SYG, so utah was set to work on rewriting the site. Around this time, Variety Jones showed up. This was the biggest and strongest willed character I had met through the site thus far. He quickly proved to me that he had value by pointing out a major security hole in the site I was unaware of. It was an attack on bitcoind.
He had so many different people working on his site in the early stages its pretty unreal, if you read the whole thing, quite a few coders knowingly worked for him.
Own Bitcoin exchange though? Could have been Karpeles?
This early 2011.

Seems like they turned the lights on earlier than usual. Breakfast was the same reconstituted eggs and 8 day past ripe smushed banana. Got some good time in the yard, warm cloudy day, white power crew was on the workout equipment so no weight training today. Loner Hispanic guy everyone calls stinky was eyeballing me during lunch, I had a weird feeling he was thinking about when to shank me. Dinner was smushed peas, super grisly meat in the beef stew, and a piece of chalk and chocolate cake dusted with powdered sugar. I skipped showers for the day and spent the night reading in my cell working on a plan for my appeal.

I've never seen that before, even though the article is 18 months old.

It's worth noting here that according to Dratel et al. this was written by Mark Karpeles.

Ulbricht coded almost none of the Silk Road? Very interesting.
