Title: Thing that makes you the angriest about the road?
Post by: Krokodine on February 08, 2013, 01:11 pm
Mine is selective scamming.. basically ive had an account here for a long time and had placed like 6 bulk orders, and all was fine until my latest 3 orders, from 2 different vendors (the reputable ones apparently)

I ordered bulk from them and the product never showed on all 3 times, and now they are saying I'm trying to scam them or some shit I still got refunded 50% each time so the vendors still gained. Wont say who it is here, but if you read their review threads youll see me on my old account going ape shit!

My buyer stats went to 9/3. 3 refunds from 9 orders. So now vendors dont want to do business with me so ive had to make a new SR account and a new forum account.

anyway it's in the past, and im back ready to have some fun. need to get some bulk molly quickly though, and event is coming up where i would be able to get rid of 50+ grams in a couple of hours, my eyes are going $.$ thinking about it!!

i wouldnt change sr for the world though love this place  :-* :-*

what annoys you about the road?

Besides for the scamming, because i think thats everyones number one... Loading pages on SR and the forum just take forever for me. Does this happen to anyone else also?

The forum is faster than the road, but they're both slow because of TOR.

It reminds me of using internet on an oil rig where its a single slow connection and several people trying to use it.

What annoys me is when someone says they have information but won't share it. If someone is a fucking scammer then say it, stop being a bitch talking about we can search their profiles.

I agree with Simplemachines... you should name names.  You're not going to order from them again... like what are they going to do to you?

The community deserves to know.

To answer the original question: what everyone said already sounds befitting...  But if I can add to the list, I'd say liars.  Liars posting completely false info in order to hurt SR, hurt rival vendors... or  just trying to be a scumbag salesman.  And/or are maybe just truly ignorant about what they're talking about, i.e. giving bad advice.

vendors who can't accept due criticism and don't quit messaging you and begging to change your feedback.
also buyers who leave feedback saying FE. completely useless information for everyone. but the ones who put FE early like they don't understand that FE means finalize early. you don't need to say finalizing early early. i think i'm the only person this pisses off but every time i see FE early i want to slap the tard with a wet fish.

I don't want to associate myself with my old account at all, because like I explained I am the one being called a scammer by the vendor when I don't he even sent my shit out.

It's in the past, managed to score myself a decent deal on 100g's of molly with a uk vendor so im happy

They do that shit with Australia, A select number of vendors dont even ship out the package then give us a 50% refund so they gain and we don't. Scum is all I can say.

Post by: pintofwater on February 09, 2013, 06:43 pm
It doesn't really make me too angry, just slightly annoyed:
when you're searching for an item, the system searches listing titles AND the body of the listing. So sometimes you get results that are completely irrelevant because a word appears in the body content. I guess an option for being able to search title only, body only, or both.

Faster computer or internet connection will not improve speed typically.   The limiting factor is the Tor network itself not the SR, sadly there are not enough people set up as relays, they just are clients so it's slow as hell, it's like a torrent with 99% leechers and few seeds. 

People should at least run as an internal relay or a bridge for people in censored countries.  The bridge is my personal choice, love seeing people from Iran and China being able to enter the Tor network because of my bridge.

On topic, the thing that aggravates me most about the SR is the 50 post requirement on this forum  :P

Post by: sleepyeyes2k2 on February 09, 2013, 08:34 pm
Ah, yes.  The 50-post rule, otherwise known as the bane of my existence, lately.  Not really.  In fact, I wouldn't even be talking about it right now if I weren't trying to hit the 50-post mark.  Oh, and for the last hour I've been trying to load SR to leave feedback, but it's not happening.  That kinda sucks.  The vendors, though, from what I've gathered so far, mostly don't suck.  I did a stupid thing on this one order and forgot to click on the right shipping option, but I worked the order so that the number of pills equaled almost exactly the cash I had in my account.  So, the vendor messaged me and was like, "hey dude, you forgot to do shipping, here's the link."  And, I was like, "dude, I am so fucking sorry, but can we drop the order by one pill and use that to pay for shipping?"  And he was like, "No.  Welcome to Silk Road, dude.  Shipping's on me."

Vendors like that is why SR works as well as it does.

One of the coolest things about SR is how little anyone is talking about it on the WWW.  I mean, type "Silk Road" in a FB search window, and what do you get?  Jack shit!  Google it, and you'll get a relevant hit or two, but by and large SR runs under the radar.  In that sense, maybe we *are* living in a dream world, GQ.  In fact, maybe this, maybe this might be... the matrix.

Slowness is a given, but if I had to say something different, I'd have to say the lack of systems they have set up to prevent scamming. Like a half finalization option would be nice. But se la vie.

the fact that this site even has to exist is the thing that makes me the angriest. the war on drugs is a colossal failure but here I am sitting behind a tor and who knows how many IPs trying to buy the 'riches' I want with something called Bitcoins.

Just the fact that posts are 50. Amongst other minor things. The post should be like 30 or so. 50 is way too much. Other then that the speed issues also but like it was mentioned earlier it's something we have to deal with. There should be a scammer ban list somewhere too!

Post by: poop loops on February 12, 2013, 03:13 am
What pisses me off is how much the site is geared to protect sellers. But newbies are screwed in so many ways- either vendors wont sell to u,  cancel orders for no reason, or selectively scam.   And even if u get a refund, your stats look like shit. why not make feedback for buyers too?  like ebay.  people can then see why buyers had orders cancelled or refunded.  just putting a number or percentage can look bad sometimes. 

And even when u get a refund, you usually get back less bitcoins cuz btc is constantly going up in value. hedged orders make sense, but shouldnt apply to orders placed in less than 12 hours.   people say be happy to get a refund, but the whole point of doing all the legwork to buy btc is to spend them on SR.  but getting back less than u sent still sucks.  My btc was tied up for 3 weeks cuz a bad vendor didnt ship anything & i had to submit a resolution for a refund.  then i get a refund, but i get back less btc.  why?  the seller admits he didnt ship anything. why shouldnt i get back all the btc i sent him?  yes if btc had dropped in value i may have been protected, but the seller should give me back exactly what i sent if i prove i did no wrong.  the fact that btc rose in price should be HIS punishment for lying & trying to scam me.

Also if a seller is having alot of complaints against him, why doesnt SR do something right away?  take Cimicon for example- just look at all the problems people are having with him.  yet he continues to list & make money.  doesnt make sense.

No, I really wouldn't change silkroad at all, however I do wish bitcoins were a bit easier to come by. and fees weren't so steep.  I am not angry about the BTC process at all, it's just that  finding something to complain about in even the most ideal of situations is what I do best.  I need to look into methods other than bitinstant but inertia is a hell of a thing. Breaking out of my comfort zone (even as uncomfortable as it is) and doing something new doesn't seem to be something I am capable of. Unless of course it has to do with purchasing something off SR for the first time. I bought BTC within hours of knowing SR even existed. That was only a little over a month ago and I already feel like it has been part of my life for a long time.

So after that long winded post

Hash: SHA512


Mine is vendors who think PGP is too slow. You can't spend 10 seconds decrypting my message for my security? Fuck you then


- - yes, definately. This is the only real complaint I have. People who don't take security seriously, (vendors or buyers) and their nonchalance makes things riskier for the rest of the community.

Nice features to  implement:

Sorting products by price
Sorting Products by country (if listed)
Sorting vendors by country (if listed)

Having an updated risk-map which shows you the relative risk of shipping to/from a certain country.. For example, Netherlands would be red. Especially being mailed into the US. With more successful packaging, the countries change color to yellow with mixed-results, and green for more successful transactions than not.. You can also see a percentage rate of  successful , and failed packages (but not attempted, lest police try to use that for statistical analysis.

So if there was a crackdown on mail from say, canada or from the netherlands in germany, and france, those countries would have an alert, and become red  to show  the danger in shipping in (but shipping out is fine, as orders coming from germany and/or france would still be marked as successful.

Impolite vendors, or vendors who demand 5/5 rating, purely because they threaten to blacklist you if you don't. That skews the voting process, and makes it less likely that comments will be accurate,for fear of reprisal.
That is a negative trend in the long-term analysis of things.

Login with pgp key, or otherwise, a feature to encrypt to key (for higher security) , you can choose to have to answer a gpg challenge, or sign text with your selected key to be able to login, transfer funds, or do otherthings on gpg. Using tor, and no ssl, is not as secure as layering security. Which in this case,would mean adding https support, and adding gpg auth , or the option to encrypt a wallet, or user info with the gpg key of the user for safety, as well as leveraging tor.

A real-time meeting place?

Just ideas

I'm thrilled that something like SR exists, believe me. Like everyone else though I hate how slow TOR is and I hate the scammers.

I've been scammed twice. Once wasn't really my fault as they were a trusted seller that went under recently after I placed my order. The other I really could have looked into better and it was a stupid purchase. Either way, it makes me more mad than being screwed over "in real life" because we're all here participating in something that a lot of society frowns upon and I suppose I feel there should be some sense of brotherhood. I hate when people take advantage of that. We are all in this together.

Now I wish I could just get to 50 posts so I could post on the rumor mill about the potential that I'm getting screwed over a third time...

That's when I was going to purchase. I didn't have much, but I was going to put in about $800 and let it sit. I could have doubled it, which would have been nice even if I just spent it all on the road.

the thing that keeps me patient is that I worked hard to get awesome stats, I worked hard to get bitcoins safely, and that at the end of the day I am buying illegal drugs that are legit unlike the shit we see locally.

I also hate that i bought amazing coke coz now when I buy the local shit it sucks ass..

But there is still a few thing quite annoying:

1) You can't sort by price or display $/g or something similar.
2) The 50 post limit for newbies. (Which encourages people to spam like hell...)
3) The feedback system : Rating could be improve + the current system is NOT used as it should. Marks below 5 are seen as insults...

Well and of course.... SCAMMERS -_-

Well it could be a nice time to stop mining.

ASIC devices are going to be shipped pretty soon. And their performance is like 10X better than most CG miner could do.

The problem is that by the time you get you Butterfly lab device, most people would have already settled and started to get a lot of BTC. Also the difficulty will soon increase making it harder to win much money from mining.

I'm really tempted by the Jalapeno 150$ ASIC... but not sure it would let me win anything.

I hate that sometimes I think I'm just asleep dreaming this whole SR thing up.

 I really have been over-indulging lately, but if it's a dream, I'm tryin to go nuts before waking up.

i bet you hate the fat that no one answered your questions, too. good questions, but people are fairly paraniod with answering that kind of stuff. Especially if you're a journo. ;)

one thing that maketh me angreh on de Road is de search engine telling me that it has been less then 5 seconds since my last search. It hath NOT been 5 seconds since my last search, it be 100000000000000 seconds since my last search. Please fix by lunch-time.

ability to sort by price is missing

I thought this was a bad idea as a buyer, but as a new vendor I'm pleased people have to dig through the listings in order to find a good price. Having said that, vendors would have to become more aware of their pricing strategies.

I haven't found any issues with the road itself aside from the unannounced downtime.

However, the process of tumbling/transferring coins to different accounts is quite frustrating.  You can never transfer out the exact amount you transferred in and are always required to leave .005 bitcoins behind.  Doing that 3 times is quite frustrating.

vendors who can't accept due criticism and don't quit messaging you and begging to change your feedback.
also buyers who leave feedback saying FE. completely useless information for everyone. but the ones who put FE early like they don't understand that FE means finalize early. you don't need to say finalizing early early. i think i'm the only person this pisses off but every time i see FE early i want to slap the tard with a wet fish.
Well the feedback/rating system as a whole needs to be re-done. Like if you give a vendor a 4/5, I heard it hurts their score the same as a 1/5. But yes, vendors asking for better feedback is just unprofessional

yeah but I don't have 500 bucks. I'm not a commercial grower, i'm a hunter.. You can't grow cyanescens, only hunt them. So until I make that 25BTC or whatever over at BMR, I can't get here..but have made a few sales and all great responses so far, so who knows

I know it all seems daunting now, but really, it's not that bad. Go ahead,  Make your first purchase, I bet things will seem a lot more simple than you previously believed. You just have to go for it and things will fall into place.

you can cultivate them, but unless you have a big backyard, your not going to get a whole lot and even then only a couple of months of the year. You see anybody els that gets enough surplus to sell?

a hunter with a lot of experience and a lot of secret spots scattered all over can get a lot more than a cultivator, unless that cultivator is doing it outside in public areas, then it becomes a question of the hunter finding the cultivated spots

There really isn't much that has gotten me angry about SR, other than difficulty logging on at times, but that really is nothing more than a temporary inconvenience.  Like a previous poster said, it's often like buying on the street;  the sellers aren't always available with what you want, when you want it.  At least that's the case in my neck of the woods.

Yeah this is annoying as hell I agree.

The most annoying thing to me is the random downtimes for the site.

Ex: When I first started using Silk Road the forum was down for like 4 days for me. Lame as shit. Another example is trying to get a product here by this weekend. So I did my research on vendors that ship fast 2-3 days, got funds into my account by Wednesday morning, but then then the site went down for me for like 5 hours so I wasn't able to put my order in until that night. So my order didn't get processed/shipped until the next day so it probably won't get here until after this weekend. Newb mistake though should have realized Silk Road usually takes forever and should have placed my order well in advance.

Most of the complaints I read on here (including my own) was due to user error. So we should learn how to use the SR properly before putting in your orders and do your research so you don't get scammed. Large orders seem like a horrible idea. Even if you don't get scammed by the vendor, there is a larger risk of your package being discovered and never arriving.
