For the past 3 weeks the site has been continually down, and when it is up it runs slow as a brick. I Haven't been able to log on latley. Has SR been compromised?
-
^^ another mtljohn whine/bitch/complain shill account?
-
No, that's how things work in the SR and like world. You need to chill and only do that which you have an exit for.
-
Dude give it a rest. Think about how hard and lonely DPR is running this site. Sure maybe he has a few close, close people he works with whom he trusts, but imagine how lonely it's got to be when someone tries to hack the site or it is attacked. He and his close group are the only ones who can defend it. It isn't as if he can just go out and hire new people without being unbelievably cautious.

How does it feel being an mal-adjusted, overly emotional man-baby who has a huge sense of entitlement?

The fact is we dont know and we haven't been given an official announcement.

This time it is weird. only the log in page never seen that before. It does suck with the site acting like a rollercoster, but damm it is a nice site and i love it. just wish it would work 50% of the time. Is that to much to ask 50%?

If you listen to most people on the site, they would say that its reasonable to expect to be able to log in half the time. However dpr makes piles of money running sr, so theres no excuse for it to be down numnerous times for weeks. He needs to get his shit together.

I don't think DPR is not trying hard. Besides that you wouldn't be able to develop and maintain such site for any money, and I think 100% of those who complaining wouldn't also. So why do you complain? Maybe you know better anonymous market? Oh, I'd love to see it.

Tell us what he should do with the money he's made. Buy an O'Reilly book about how to run the world's busiest hidden service? Rent some office space and put an ad on Craigslist for some PHP coders? Really, say how he should use the money to make this site better.

do people forget?? how long have most of you been here
i have been here over a year.
and it's always been like this.
weekly outages daily outages.
just since the last huge one.. now people are shining a microfuckingscope on it.

haha good shit!

I'm sure DPR has a ton more friends than I do. Hes rich as fuck, people love rich people.

Soon I will be able to plus-karma. And my ass is coming right back here first stop.
-
Glad I'm not the only one, not whinging just thought my account might have been compromised and my password changed. Glad it wasn't :)
Just keep your coins in your own wallet and enjoy the fruits of this lovely site, it wouldn't be easy and I for one appreciate the efforts of DPR! Thank you DPR, will donate once I'm back in and able too :)
Stop whinging it just breeds negativity and could put DPR off from running this show, how much would you fucking whinge then?

Haha perfect. I haven't even been here a year. Maybe 6 months and I'm thinking the same thing. Its always up and down. Just something to deal with. Yeah so many annoying posts! I like how people discuss to make sure others are having the same problem and double checking that security isn't comprised but it gets to much! And no bitching please lol

This hasn't been a NORMAL outage... it seems largely uncontrolled and the real reason unknown. Now this log in page thing... what the FUCK? DPR again seems to have no idea whats going on. Scary... sorry bud, but its never been like this.

If y'all want to run around in a panic because you haven't been able to log in the past several hours to buy your illegal drugs, it's probably because you're (A) a junkie (B) a 12-year old kid or (C) LE. None of which are really desirable clientele or members of the community.

Yes, people with the ability to think critically can obviously see that something isn't right.
Every time the site goes down its Several hours to DAYS until dpr finally gets off his ass to update everyone. That shows he couldn't give two shits about the people that supply him with money. On the rare instances when SR is actually running He'd rather spend his time on the philosophy section on the fourm telling everyone what book they should read.

Hahaha I couldn't of said it better myself good job man most of these complainers need to smarten up instead of trying to ruin the system which has been so good to us.

whats this black friday thing about anyone else doing it?

You know what isn't right? You thinking DPR owes you anything. This isn't fucking eBay. There isn't a call center in the Philippines or India to wipe your ass and hold your hand, and there isn't some vast IT department sitting around providing 24/7 uptime so you can score a gram.
If anything, it's him and a handful of people... all of whom have lives of their own as well. If the Road goes down for a few hours, so be it. DEAL WITH IT.
If the Road went down today and never came back up, my life will go on. And I'd thank DPR for letting me be part of something that governments couldn't stop... people exercising their free will to consume whatever it is that makes them happy.
But since you're a board troll you'll ignore this post, and start some other wild rumor about how Obama locked DPR in Gitmo and how the site is compromised or some other shitty troll posting. So get to it, son...you're boring the fuck out of me now.

Black friday is a sale that most of the stores in the USA do the friday after Thanksgiving.

not sure where you've been lately..
but before the site went down for a week+ there were multiple Threads
about the login page over and over and over and over again..
come on everyone.. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, lol.
crumple your tin foil hats up and shove them in your asses.
like the guy said about how "lonely of a job it is" for DPR and his "crew".
seriously.. the site goes down and what if DPR is fucking his girlfriend or boyfriend?
or is eating Thanksgiving dinner with his family..
i mean all he/she can do is come back when they come back and do what they can to fix it.
so stop raging and go do something with your life except for sitting here bitching and whining.
your small brain couldn't mastermind this grand scheme.. hell, you can barely use the web site..
let alone code it.
so stop bitching.. go fuck your significant other for once in the last ten years..
next thing you know the site will be back up and you will have shut the fuck up.

It's the FUZZ!!!! sPLiT!!!!
Fuckin pussies...

You guys don't understand, DPR doesn't give a single shit about you guys, he gives a shit about your money. He's not going to sit idly by and let his income die, stop fucking crying out loud every-time there is a little downtime, most logical vendors keep large amounts of BTC out of silk road and inside there own personal BTC wallet, so it's not like DPR is looking to take vendors money, or even the consumers money. He wants the website up fifty times more then you want it back up because it's his job. He will fix it, if it takes 24 hours or 24 days, settle down, smoke a fat joint and delete your silk road forum profile cause I don't wanna hear your shit about LE running SR or hackers stealing our account info.
-
amen! i'm relatively new around here, but i don't think it takes great longevity to understand that occasional downtime is part of what comes with this great luxury we all enjoy. everyone's gotta quit losing their shit every time there's a hiccup! god forbid you get out and go cop drugs for real, right?

C'mon bro, this isn't Amazon. DPR isn't always going to let everyone know what is going on if it means revealing secure information. Maybe some problems can be publicized and others cannot.
Think of all the adversaries the site has, the maintenance required, CONSTANT security updates and making sure they are safe running everything. I don't expect SR to run perfectly, but it's up most of the time. Honestly I was worried the site got compromised and my PW was stolen, but I've seen this before...it's just a hiccup or they are making some changes and don't want to let attackers or whomever know that they are doing maintenance. OR they are doing this for a SPECIFIC reason, maybe counter attack or recognizance.
You can't expect the same service that you would get off of Amazon or some main stream site.
Down times are to be expected, period. I think DPR and his crew will get better as they go along, and the site will be up more...which in my opinion it has been. Back when SR first started it was A LOT slower.
I don't think it's quite time to be shitting all over DPR quite yet, I think we should be supportive and understanding given this shit is all underground and ILLEGAL they do a pretty good job. I don't see anyone going over to "The Black Market" That sites up all the fucking time lol
I'd say use this as a test to see how prepared you are to continue either selling or buying if SR were to go away. Have your list of sellers and buyers.

Do you know DPR personally? Do you know what his personal life is like? Do you know what he does on a day to day basis? Do you know the amount of work he puts into the site? No? Then how about you stop speculating and fuck off. Just because he doesn't post updates every 5 minutes letting junkies know when they can get their fix again, or enjoys fucking reading and talking about books doesn't mean he isn't working his ass off you ungrateful shitmongerer.

I love these threads, can spend hours reading all the speculations about whats going on :)

Wait for site to come back up, change password, carry on.

That wont matter if the hacker has control of the site. Yes he will carry on alright, but with your money.
Also there are strange suspicious amounts of bitcoins being moved around the past several hours since SR has been down. It's not looking good folks, hope you all took your bitcoins out while you still had the chance.
-
all your bullshit posts wont matter either. just wait for it to come back up and see what happens.
would be nice if there was a betting escrow functionality on here.

Don't keep your money in your SR account for any longer than you have too. When you say suspicious amounts of bitcoins what are you referring to? http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg1ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv volume on this charts shows it's been normal.
-
If it comes up it does not mean its not compromised either. The issue here is that DPR hasn't said a fucking word about what is going on apart from vague bland statements.
You can keep on pretending that nothing bad is happening but evidence suggests that things are afoot in the background that you are not being told about. Nope obviously nothing keep putting your money in folks nothing bad is going on here. Maybe some acknowledgement of the hacker bullshit would put DPR in better credibility.
-
I can just imagine DPR trying to sit and enjoy Thanksgiving when suddenly the thought hits him!
"What is SilkRoad has gone down for a short while and some idiots can't get access to their drugs. Oh God NO! The Horror!!"
Before then abandoning what he's doing to rush back and make sure you dribbling morons are kept up to date with every slight change, the site's gone down, the site will be back. Chill the fuck out.

Its a shame things like this happen but its such a two sided coin so to speak. Yes DPR assuredly works his ass off and you cannot knock A, Him or B, His team for number one founding this site and number two maintaining it but what this site has grown into is beyond us all.
I think all those senior members who are quick to throw stones and label those concerned as "junkies" need to seriously remember that this is a community. You have young and old members and just because youve been with it from the start cannot out weigh the concerns of what is a large percentage of active members.
We haven't received an official announcement and for all we know the server might be getting upgraded or heaven forbid the site is compromised. I think times like this requires a little more understanding from all and it is more than understandable that some members are angry as not even a two second post by admins can be given to calm the community. Many members turn helter skelter thinking the end of silk is nigh but you should still keep your whits about you... "Fear is just another word for Ignorance" to quote the famous Hunter S Thompson. But dismissing every event that Silk goes down as "it will be right back up/everything is fine" is also just plain ignorance...
I feel sorry for all those Vendors and Members which have money, items, custom listings, BTCs etc all messed up by this downtime. Without Silk there would be no members and with out members no silk. This community has grown to the point that it supports full time vendors who rely on this site as a source of income and times like these puts them at risk. If shit hits the fan and silk crashed what does DPR or the admin team owe to anyone? Nothing at all. Its a very possible scenario that silk dies and the money is gone with it.
So its a two sided argument and i think its best at times like these to just keep our heads, stay smart and support the community. Don't go to either extremes in these times when no official announcement has been made. But also a bit of understanding to those in the community that have money and time at steak.
-
Or, if he is from one of the other hundreds of countries in the world he may not care about thankgiving :D
True, in which case he/she can have absolutely no reason to not be sat at their computer 24/7 maintaining the site!!
We're DOOMED!
-
I'm fucking done being polite to conspiracy theorists dumbasses. You're idiots. You have no idea what you're talking about, so leave the speculating to someone with a brain.
-
Yeah I would not want to be DPR and the crew. The paranoia they must deal with on a regular basis I can't even imagine. I personally wouldn't do it for all the money in the world, even if I knew how. I really don't know, but I assume if he has people helping him they are very,very loyal and trustworthy. I hope he's alright in his secret volcano fortress on his lap top :)
EDIT: I just saw DPR's craiglist ad.. Here it is verbatim:
"Wanted- Uber Haxxor needed to code world's best known illegal drug market! Must be willing to live in secret abandoned missile silo in Antarctica. Mild paranoia MAY be required. Orphanism and personally experience with paranoid schizophrenia a must. Interpol and DEA need not apply.
-
We must have a ready to use open source anonymous market, something that doesn't rely on one server in one location and on one person or small group of people.
Here is the URL for the new backup forum for SR:

Guys relax. This site goes days on days without any error but the moment something is slightly wrong you guys jump to conclusions? Relax man. It's been stated that the demand for SR has gone up dramatically and it's caused massive strain on the servers. How about giving some praise to DPR and the crew for keeping a place like this up against everything that's been thrown at them instead of wining the moment something goes wrong? Some of you are in your current situation BECAUSE of this place. Be grateful. I'm sure there's a lot of behind-the-scenes work and that there's a lot of time being spent on making sure this place is good.
TL;DR.
Chill.
-
This is all so funny,love how people talk about DPR,funny shit
This was a website set up to deal drugs and make the people who set it up shitloads of money,if you think any diffrent your off your fucking head!
they will fix,they want to make money get it MONEY
so stop with all the DPR,s a good guys shit,just buy your drugs and shut the fuck up!
-
just buy your drugs and shut the fuck up!
LOL

How does it feel being an mal-adjusted, overly emotional man-baby who has a huge sense of entitlement?
I so wish I could +1 you for this one.. people just need to chill. This isn't fucking amazon.com! Smoke a bowl, go back to sleep, wake up and SR will probably be back up and running.

Yes, it's just that simple.

"slightly" wrong? And "days on days without any errors"? :oYou must be using a different site.
btw its /fixed now you can login again 8)
-
Well the speculators are wrong, yet again. Look at DPR's latest post.
Please learn a lesson from this. Stop screaming that the sky is falling and stirring shit everytime the smallest thing happens.
-
well a lot of people feeling daft.. again...
-
It looks like the site is down once again >:(
How long is it going to be down for this time?
-
maintenance it told me! It is a bit annoying especially when you are right in the middle of something >:(
But hold tight then get in, business done, all good. ;)
just make sure you have back up contacts on hand, which I don't for all :( but will do when I get back in :)
happy hoping ;D
-
its working now
-
Didn't some forum user just state he Ddos'd btkoin.com? Maybe
this was their payback....LOL scammers revenge!
No seriously, how come so many people switching from love to hate for DPR depending on wether the site is up or down? o.O
I think if you don't like the way he
handles stuff on here, feel free to leave and buy your drugs elswhere.
All these negative posts are messing up my mood:-(
-
its working now
thank you.

I was able to get in for a few minutes but then it kicked me again. After a couple tries of entering password I came up to this screen
The Silk Road is down for maintenance. We will get the site back up asap. Thank you for your patience."
Hoping this will be a quick fix.
