Title: SR back online. Do you think its safe for me to send funds/place orders??
Post by: Bill Paxton on April 25, 2013, 05:05 am
Would you suggest going full speed ahead and placing orders that I have BTC in my account for?

Also, was waiting for things to get back online so I could deposit even more BTC into my SR account and place (even more) orders ASAP...

Should I wait 12 hours to make sure everything is still running ok or do you think its safe to proceed as usual?

I think you've got the green light here. It all depends on your situation, it sounds like you need to order quickly. If you've got the time then wait it out, but if you really need to make your order I would go ahead and do so. I don't believe SR will be infiltrated anytime soon.

I would say so. I've been here for a while and this is by far the fastest I've ever seen the site operate. You should be good to go.

Cool thank you for responding.

I went ahead and deposited more BTC via bitinstant so as soon as that shows up I'll be placing my order which will go out tomorrow.  Because of SR being down, an order I placed Tuesday night did not ship out on Wednesday. I'm hoping to get these two in tonight so that all three will go out tomorrow together (Its all the same product from the same trusted vender).

LONG LIVE SILK ROAD!!!!

I'm fairly confident this was an attack with the motive of getting SR users to Atlantis. Either to profit for it's owner by fees or as a massive sting operation.

I think if the sting op is true then I don't believe they would have DDoS'd SR as that is a huge amount of resources being wasted. But then again the whole "war" on drugs has been a huge waste of resource. So you'll never know really..

When you're dealing with felonies, you can never be too cautious. SR is amazing because we know it works. We know it's legit. We know it's clean. It is time tested and proven. I'm not willing to risk my freedom for a cleaner UI. Sorry, just don't care enough to. Sure, the SR site feels dated but it's still getting schedule 3 narcotics to people's front doors in under 24 hours. Fuck Atlantis.
