Title: SR is up and running.
Post by: Nuggets on November 15, 2012, 09:24 pm
It's up. Stop freaking out, it was probably just a small glitch.

Ah comon it's been down for what...2 hours? We're all on a Tor network, it happens quite a lot of times actually.

I was able to gain access to the lohin page 2-3 times so the server didn't look down but rather very busy..

2 hours?? Man, I've been trying to log in for 10 hours now...I admit that it doesn't work all the time, but I've never seen this before.

Sorry if I'm not overly excited, but once up for a while every 24 hours doesn't exactly inspire great confidence, you know?

And I'm trying to do domething and it keeps timing out on me!

Remember irrational exuberance? Well this is irrational optimism, in the face of cold hard facts.

Guys I was on the Road minutes ago doing business. It's not down just slow as hell. I blame it pn the server overload. There was this hacker post that is starting to make me wonder, but right now it's everyone's guess.

I do agree the server issue should be fixed asap, downtimes are worrying for both vendors and buyers.

Edit: i'm running the Road through my cellphone so it should even be slower than you guys

I was just able to place an order... finally... after a bunch of timeouts. Just be patient... things are starting to work again.

I still can't connect. I was on last night, but right now I am unable to get on. The connection keeps timing out, or else it redirects to www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion which isn't a valid hostname.

Is it down again or am I broke?

Oh, wait, it worked just now, loaded as I was about to press Post; perhaps it's just being difficult.

I had the problem with three digit captcha months ago and have had it on numerous occasions.  Disconnect from tor and reconnect.  New identities never helped me with the problem, only complete disconnect and clear.

Just keep refreshing every 10 minutes or so and you'll eventually get in. There's no particular trick unfortunetly

well finally the damned log in page is loading for me, but every time i try and log in, its just not loading.

i really hope this gets figured out soon because i am in desperate need to place a new order for meth.

(yes i am a meth addict (hence my name, lol), and im running low on the last order i placed a week ago)!

Sweet!  I'm still waiting to log in and do my window-shopping till the traffic calms down a bit.  I encourage other window-shoppers to do the same, to help keep the site up by not overloading it too much.

So far so good. I gave it a test once per hour or so since about 4 hours ago and have been able to log in browse a few pages and then log off.

Just waiting to see if people report transfers of BTC in/out went without issue. I figure by this weekend all the niggles will be worked out and things will return to normal. Normalish, rather.

Did you try depositing anything in the last 4 hours? I did, and the 32 bitcoins still haven't been credited to my account. It should be fine methinks, just it's a little upsetting when funds are in limbo. I sent support a message, just waiting for them to get back to me.

The site is slow as all hell too.

BenJesuit, my BTC transfers in both directions have been OK, but you have to wait for a lot of hours, but I guess that's par for the course.

I withdrew 350btc the first day SR was back up, wasn't processed for 12 hours or so but it did come through. redeposited 50btc and made a couple orders successfully with no problems.
