My take on these shenanigans

I think after DPRs announcement of possible security leaks at TorMarket (still unconfirmed in my eyes) a lot of people are probably trying to break in/mine data off of them.

Not just any data, but our information. If he really cares more about customers security then running the most popular/profitable market, then he would have contacted TorMarket admins with his thoughts first. After confirming the leak was closed and our data was secure (if it in fact was not), then make this information public. Although I don't currently put much trust in any new market (remember SR2 is also a new market, no matter who started it or how familiar it feels) , I will be staying away from SR2 and exploring other options. While DPR may have been doing what he thought was best for buyers/vendors, the way he went about it show lack of experience and care.

This is just my opinion, if you feel differently I'd love to hear it (with some reasons I f course).

I wish for the old days when Ross still ran SR. There were a few interruptions and the site used to be SLOW as fuck, but it was civil. I'm so tired of the e-penis measuring bullshit.

This whole "you DDOS me, i'll DDOS you" is fk'g ridiculous and incredibly juvenile. The sites participating in this crap are just destroying themselves cuz buyers and vendors aren't gonna hang around for more 7th grade drama. Puts everyone at more risk and sites will be gone soon cuz buyers will leave.

Too bad, didn't have to be like this, very disappointing.

Great points all around.

No, he should have gone to the public first. TMP knew about this leak and didn't tell anyone (so they claim, they said it happened in Oct). I think DPR is arrogant, but I don't trust either marketplace yet. They are both too new, don't pick sides of someone based on such little information. With that much money I wouldn't trust most of my friends to not fuck me over.

Looks like he leaked some run-on sentences too.

As an outside observer who stumbled on this thread, I'd be very careful what you guys post here. And I hope you're using proxies. Even though it didn't do much for Ross... I've read a few comments and I already have the suspicion that there are a couple of dark market operators in here, amongst a speed dealer and others. I've not used TOR since SR went down, but I hope one day confidence in the markets return. The childish behaviour of the operators isn't really doing that. I'm happy staying away from it all while the ddos wars continue.
