To all of our former customers and anyone interested in sampling our smokable delights for the first time, we are up on SheepMarket (we haven't been sheared yet ;) and BMR. On SheepMarket we are "AngelEyes" with no space, and on BMR we are "Angel Eyes" with a space. We are also now on reddit under the the name "AngelOjos" and at angelojos@safe-mail.net. Our original public key is still working so that's how you can be sure its us.
I'd like to add that I am simply amazed at the way this community is coming together to fight the fascists who really don't give a damn whether we live healthy lives or die on the streets, and who use Orwell-speak blind denial of reality to convince themselves (fewer and fewer believe anything they say anymore) they are doing something positive for the world.
Its clear now that its POSSIBLE hidden services have been hacked (though it seems his payment mechanism may have given him away -- is there really no server firm that accepts bitcoin?), but that does not end the story regardless. Just like all of us vendors (with a few exceptions having nothing to do with the Tor technology) are still safe, if DPR had kept a lower profile and not gotten ahead of himself he'd probably be out there right now and SR would be running again. I'm not impugning his character, and I firmly believe he's innocent until proven guilty by MY court of law in MY head (you can't trust a fucking thing LE says anytime anywhere, and most juries just lap up whatever garbage they are fed by their "trusted men in blue" -- fucking frightened weaklings), its just apparent that he didn't follow proper opsec procedures and apparently got caught up in extortion rackets directed towards him from LE cutouts. Could any of us have done better? With so much pressure on him to keep this magic working for all of us, who of us could honestly say we might not have made some serious errors. However, lets all remember Gus Fring's immortal words on how to live long and prosper in illegal business from Breaking Bad -- "don't ever make the same mistake twice". If the "two hits" allegations are true, DPR did make the same mistake twice. His error (one of them) was not seeing the first time as a mistake. When we started vending here on SR we watched a long video from Grugq describing how these operations get taken down. I wish DPR had lived and breathed that video. He'd be smiling and sticking a big middle finger in the FBI's dumb fucking eyehole right now.
In solidarity with DPR, the Silk Road, but especially the ongoing project that is liberty and freedom, I doff my proverbial cap to all of you. Live long and prosper.
