DAMN I MISS THE DAYS OF BMR AND SR1

Nothing will ever beat those days at all. With BitInstant and everything nice and smooth. Damn those were the days

I miss walking into CVS to use the red Moneygram phone and then driving back to my apartment to anxiously await for my bitcoins to show up in my wallet.

In the SR1 days we felt invincible. Everyone was like, "SR has been up for two years, if the feds could bring them down they would have already." Sounds really stupid now.

Everyone thought DPR was this mysterious genius living on an island somewhere. It felt like a real movement and the sense of community on the SR forums was, to me, equal only to the sense of community I felt for the first couple of years after we created /r/DarkNetMarkets.

Eh it was good in some ways but it was much less polished so much less choice. The community was better, especially the forum, but in terms of the market itself meh. I think the two markets with the least truth worthy staff combined, Evolution and AlphaBay, would have made the best market of all time. All the new features and all the range and choice of Alpha with the slick UI and fast loading times and all around polished system of Evolution.

Agora was great, yeah, it was reliable in terms of you could trust it. But it was down a lot, it was slow, and it didn't look anywhere as near as good as Evo.

It was also nice though when it was all new, when very little of us used PGP, when my first transaction was for like, 18-22BTC and I was only buying a ten strip of acid or 5-10 pills, I forget which was first.

I miss a lot of vendors of the past though. Who in the EU used ZendyM for weed? Amazing, quick service, great packaging, great bud and super value. We got 112g off him for like, £300. And it was top shelf shit. It was NL though, wouldn't order that much from there now.... especially after two knocks by the old bill!!

I was a seller on SR1. I dont remember how i got into it, but i remember making suggestions on the site (i.e. the captcha used to be really fucked up, i suggested making it easier), and they would be fixed within a day or two. Also, no escrow to become a seller. I would buy bitcoin with green dot moneypaks.
