Title: Silk Road Not Loading... At all.
Post by: NS420 on November 02, 2012, 10:33 pm
I have not been able to get the silk road to load at all today, and last night I hardly got it for more than a few minutes at a time.

What's up? Any tips to connect, maybe an alternative url?

I have a hard time believing that server overload is preventing me from connecting, while I've been re-trying every few minutes, with 0% success.

This is very frustrating :/

Same here.  It's not letting me authenticate/  You get to the logon screen, attempt to logon and you get no where.  I can logon to the forums obviously, no problem. 

if you watch the network you scan see that http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion:80 is connected but I tried with two different accounts and none of them would let me in.  I made sure to update my Tor browser to the latest ver and it says it's updated,
but still, I can only get to the logon screen to buy/sell.

Thanks,
O

I got the login screen a few times last night, but today I have got absolutely nothing.

Tell me, how can the infrastructure of the SR, be so poorly constructed, that a simple "overload" of users, renders the website completely not usable.

You would think they would at least be intelligent enough to put in place a system to handle a situation like this, such as closing registration, and connection limiting, with timers, I guess what I am asking, is this website seriously "dead in the water" simply because they can't take care of the number of users they have? What does this mean for the money I just deposited into my account for the purchase I have been trying to make for over 24 hours, if this is a problem, int he way described, then nothing specific, other than their action, is going to fix it.

This is more than just a rant, I ask, because if it is not completely dead in the water, then I suppose I would be asking, how to obtain a higher priority, or perhaps, a better time to try to access the website, or perhaps, maybe even something to do with my tor config, that may help.

I have had the same problem, I had SR bookmarked and have been clicking on that to try and get in with the same problems, it worked instantly when I went to Wikipedia and the SR page and clicked on the addy there. Hope it works for you

if you add index.php to the end of the url, so that it is http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php , it will work for you. if that doesn't work, try changing your identity in tor.
