Title: Silk Road Status & Downtime Thread
Post by: Leech on November 10, 2012, 10:11 pm
I really hope this thread can be stickied.

Members can post in this thread whenever there is a downtime (to notify everyone) and DRP, admins and mods may post here the time and length of the latest downtime, or the reason of the downtime (hack attack, maintenance, etc).

If possible, please post all Silk Road downtime problems here and refrain from starting multiple threads. Thanks every member of the Road here for active participation!

DPR latest update:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=70747.msg582596#msg582596

Quote
UPDATE (2355 UTC): Deposits are working.  All outstanding deposits have been processed, and future deposits will be processed as usual.  If you sent a deposit before or during the outage and your account has not been credited, message support so we can investigate your issue.  Some withdrawals have been processed, but there is still a queue we are working through.  I'll update when withdrawals are back to normal.

UPDATE (2052 UTC): Current members now have full access to Silk Road.  Registrations are still closed until we are certain we can handle the additional traffic.  We are still unable to process deposits and withdrawals, but are getting very close.  I will start a new thread with some commentary on this whole situation once we are running 100%.

Multiple threads started by members in the forum lamenting about being unable to load main site.

managed to get onto the login page, but not to the main site, says ive connected by just not loading. Could be due to the heavy amount of traffic?

UPDATE (2326 UTC 11/15/2012): Might not have to take the site down after all.  I'll let you know here if we do.  A side note about withdrawals:  There have been a ton of them (understandable), so we are getting through them as fast as possible.  Please be patient if we haven't gotten to yours yet.

UPDATE (2254 UTC 11/15/2012): The site went down again and there are people claiming to be responsible for it and making threats.  I don't want to take any chances, so the site is going to come down for a bit while we investigate what is going on.  Hopefully this is short lived... what drama!  Next update will come before 0600 UTC.

Most recent problem with the captcha and login page redirection appears to have been fixed.

Currently captcha appears with only numbers and login is not possible.
Works for me; just loaded.

I keep getting redirected to login when Im trying to purchase something. And then the stupid captcha seems to only have 3 numbers.... WTF!

Post by: broken string on November 16, 2012, 02:23 am
What the hell? I was just in, and everything was working. When I went to go to a vendor profile or messages, shit janks up and I get logged out and sent to the login screen. Not sure what's going on.

Post by: Gusman17 on November 16, 2012, 02:25 am
After several times being logged out and 3 digit captchas, I rebooted my machine and was able to log in and place an order no problem. Keep trying!

Leech, I seem to get only captchas that start with marks or karma, and they all fail anyway. How long has it been this time, 12 to 18 hours, more?

Same here, just keeps cycling thru and never errors out.
I never get bad/login or anything...

Whats the deal??

Post by: V6jjILOLx3 on November 23, 2012, 02:15 pm
I just made five attempts only reload the page. The fifth the normal captchas reappeared and I was able to enter. Apparently everything seems to be ok for me now. :)

Having the same problems with being unable to login, strange that I don't even get error messages when using asdasdasdad as login...

Also, worth noting I was browsing just fine then clicked another link within arriving on the current page and bam, I was thrown out unable to login. Could have been 10-20min ago.

Damn, I was just about to order some great stuff when it kicked me off and then I couldn't log back on.  Oh well, hopefully it gets fixed quick again this time, time to go smoke up and just watch TV in the meantime.

It wouldn't make any difference either, just making your credentials prone to interception by third-party

The exact same thing happened to me!
I had just transferred my BTC and then this, hopefully I will be able to place the order tonight.

Yeah this sucks.
Last time it was only for a few hours so hopefully it will be the same again.
Admins really need to get this sorted, I have several orders pending now and won't know whether they will arrive or not if I can't login.
The joys...

Title: Re: Silk Road Status & Downtime Thread
Post by: newjac on November 26, 2012, 04:52 pm
Last time the site was out, price of BTC's went down 'round 10% or so, then when site came back, so did the price of coinage...and it's gone even higher still in the last week.

Anyone with that kind of knowledge, or the know-how and resources to track such things, notice any big buys and big sells that were in synch with the site's down and back times? 

Could be a nefarious, Dr. Evil-like attack.

Post by: JustThree on November 26, 2012, 06:02 pm
Just my fucking luck that every single time I go to the bank to buy bitcoins I come back and SR is down. I was literally at my account's checkout page when I left, came back 10 minutes later after purchase and I get a 404. So now I'm forced to squat on over $200 worth of BTC and hope the price of coins doesn't fuck up my order by the time we're live again. This is the second time this has happened :(

So as it turns out my fears have been confirmed. The price of BTC dropped while I was waiting to regain access and place my order. Now I'm short .05btc (.5-.6usd) after shipping.

i'd say for the last 3-4 weeks or so, the site has been very very difficult to access at what I consider UK peak times, 6pm-midnight. outside these times it seems to be ok, but i have a real life outside SR and these are the times i need to work on here!
