This is not an endorsement of SR3, or SR2 or any other SR. I'm sick to death of all of the SR's quite honestly. However, I think the following series of events calls into question SR moderator DoctorClu and whether or not he should be branded a "hero" as a lot of people seem to do.
SilkRoad 3 is a copycat market that popped up yesterday. Ironic considering SR2 is also a copycat... I wouldn't be seen dead on either SR2 or SR3.
DoctorClu seemed to take offense when he learned about SR3.
Here's the series of events.
DoctorClu becomes aware of SR3 from a thread on the SR2 forum. He admits on the thread that he intends on spamming the market with a user named FatherTed.
Evidence: http://silkroad5v7dywlc.onion/index.php?topic=34925.0
The two users spam SR2 with hundreds of pictures of male genitalia and child pornography.
Evidence: http://thehubaoydxrommh.onion/index.php?topic=2592.0
DoctorClu then sends a message to the administrator of SR3 and threatens to DDoS them and continue the spam offensive. DoctorClu PGP signs the message.
Evidence: http://thehubaoydxrommh.onion/index.php?topic=2592.20
User Zaphod from The Hub confirmed that the PGP message was verified as DoctorClu from SR forums. I welcome you to check independently to see whether it matches up.
But didn't DoctorClu deny outright that he has ever or now possess the ability to DDoS? Didn't he use that excuse to prove that he didn't DDoS Agora?
Since DoctorClu signed the PGP message sent to the SR3 admin and he also posted on the SR forums admitting to being behind the attack, then can we determine that he is responsible for this? And keeping that in mind...
Is it really ethical for DoctorClu to post child porn on a rival market? To me, that is sick, and unforgivable.
I would love your thoughts and analysis, /r/darknetmarkets
EDIT Here's his PGP message. Reddit may mess up the formatting, the original can be found on The Hub thread.

So who are you? What have you done to deserve the Silk Road name? DPR's?
I can continue to have my userbase spam the hell out of your market or I can simply DDoS it to hell.
TorMarket didnt last long. How well do you think you will hold up?

If he had anything to do with x-posting CP ANYWHERE, then he deserves to be in jail on those charges. Reporting him for posting CP without doxxing would be the way to go.
Bringing CP into his petty little battle is contrary to everything the markets should stand for. It is no accident that it is easier to get cyanide and hand grenades then it is to get CP thorugh the markets.
Clu has been a liability since the day he got an undertitle. He will cause people to lose their freedom one day and narcotics will have never been the contributing factor. Swapping CP with another SR incarnation is such a fantastic excuse for the feds to re-engage that place. people using either SR should think long and hard about the company they are keeping. CP will NEVER be supported by any libertarian or left leaning cause. He will dangle from those gallows alone and nobody will give a shit.
