Title: How did you find the road?
Post by: Prawl42 on July 09, 2012, 11:11 pm
So was wondering how much the media has helped out our community by providing us with new people, and helping expand vendors client base.

Personally i found this place after digging though the deepweb by chance.

Just curious to see the results!

I think the media has led many of us here. Like they say theirs no bad publicity. if you go off on a rant about how bad a place is because its easy to buy drugs, then everyone wanting to buy drugs will go there no matter how bad you slant the story.

I googled how to buy Percocet without a script. Found the gawker article and started figuring out how to get here!

Got fed up with skeezy dealers in real life.  Knew there HAD to be a way to get drugs through the internet.  People on Reddit kept referring to SR, looked more into it, and voila, my prayers have been answered.

It's like that on most forums,You have to double-think about what you wrote or ask on here, people get bored of answering to the same kind of threads day after day.

I've been getting a -1 every three days like clockwork, whether I've posted or not.  I guess I really, really annoyed someone who's made it their mission to neg me forevermore  ;D

I found SR through friends.  I <3 my Friends  :-*

I heard a rumor about LSD being sold online so I actively searched the net for it. I actually even found the original website where it was sold and that the person no longer takes on new customers.  But I figured there would be more.  Then I stumbled across Tor thanks to someone over at Hip Forums and they showed me a few places.  Eventually, I came across this place thru the BitCoin Forum.  Still haven't gotten LSD yet, tho.  And it seems I haven't found the reliable vendor I'm looking for to do any serious business with.

Read one of the negative articles in the media. After ignoring all the bullshit, the main message I got was: Buy quality drugs on the internet safely and easily with minimal risk of being caught.

You should check me out LSD is listed on occasion, sells out fast so I can't keep with the demand but perhaps in two weeks you could grab some :)

Would be great if we could keep this thread up long enough for some journalist to see it and notice he is helping us out!

If you type "buy drugs online" into Google this is now the first result http://gawker.com/5805928/the-underground-website-where-you-can-buy-any-drug-imaginable

I caught an interest in the deep web and found out about SR through an online article.

I found out about silkroad via forum for avid marijuana smokers.

Post by: BurntOrange on July 10, 2012, 07:14 pm
I was an avid reader of the bitcointalk.org forums for the longest time. I kept catching references to SR. I would look into it a little bit and then get lazy at the part where I had to download Tor to access it. Then I came accross http://gawker.com/5805928/the-underground-website-where-you-can-buy-any-drug-imaginable and it motivated me, I HAD to explore this beautiful place for myself.

Someone posted a picture of some meth they had just bought on Reddit.  The comments turned to price comparisons then someone mentioned SilkRoad briefly but didnt say what it was....Did a quick search on Google/WikiLeaks which informed me to exactly what it was 'n jackpot...Here I am...

Friend.

He buys his MJ from here since all he can get near home is shitty shitty shwag.  I wanted to get LSD, since it's been dry for years.  He told me how to get on the road, and the rest is history.

I spent an age looking for all these secret forums out there. Someone off topix mentioned about Silk Road being taken down and busted after the Gawker article. I was annoyed that yet again I missed out and never looked it up as I believed it to be down or one big honey pot. Several dodgy and downright dangerous deals made me do some more research. I was of course delighted to find it alive and kicking.

In fact just a quick look at the above results show that most people probably heard of it directly or indirectly from the Gawker article. Is he an employee here? He's a damned fine salesman ;)

WoooHooo, post #100

I found it while digging around on the deep web. I came looking for something else and stumbled across SR. Realized the opportunity it offered and signed up to be a vendor.  ;D

Now I am hooked, this is just too much fun and it gives me a reason to have more shrooms.

I saw a CNN article that was originally posted on Reddit and decided to do some looking around. I only had to go to the Wikipedia page to find the URL, and downloading TOR was easy. 10 minutes later, I was on Silk Road.

I am glad that I personally found out about Silk Road but I think it's best that the site stay underground for the time being, which means no mainstream media. I know we can only control what the mainstream media does to a tiny extent, but let's not go looking for things to give the media something to talk about. As the SR "seller's guide" said, it's best not to take on too many powerful adversaries at the same time, and SR is still very small and new.

My good friend Chuck Schumer told me and all his other friends about SR.
If Chuck gets excited about it, then it is where I want to be :)
