With the site down, I was researching hidden services and trying to see if there's anything we could potentially be doing on the client side to help reduce the load.
I came across a post elsewhere from some guy who says if you change some thing in your Tor config and in Torbutton then access to hidden services will be "more efficient." He has a video tutorial of how he changed the settings here: http://rc4u5nj5fzfgynuj.onion/ I PM'd him and he said that if enough people followed his instructions then he's "pretty sure" we'd all be able to get back onto the SR site but I'm skeptical.
Dunno if this guy's tutorial is legit or would doing it compromise security? Could folks please check out the video and report your thoughts.

I don't think any video tutorial in the world or whatever else could be contained in that link could ever get you access to a site that is physically taken off line. That being said I am not a tech head just more of an enthusiast.
-
Well like I said, I was just researching hidden services so I am no expert either. To clarify, I don't think he meant it would solve the current outage, just that it would reduce the website load if enough people did it. I dunno though.

Really? Where? Oh, you must mean that other link that is NOT the same link. Seriously, I have nothing do with that Roxyconnect guy so please don't make assumptions. I am just asking about this link http://rc4u5nj5fzfgynuj.onion/ which I have posted ONLY in this thread asking about it! I can see how it may seem suspicious asking people to check out a link but honestly it is just a video that I'm wondering about the *content* of it.

Never change settings in TOR unless you know exactly what you're doing. It's not worth compromising your security just to access a website.

I guess great minds think alike D, because in short, that is why I clicked on this. Do not fiddle with the tor settings without learning what you are doing, and what effects it could have. Take for example the situation below.
Find deep web link saying "Backdoor to Silk Road!" -> Steps have you turn on Java inside your Tor browser, you load malware that tracks and relays your action on tor, now the steps to the "backdoor of SR" are not corrected to previous settings, thus there is now data, with your SR info, floating around and being sent off. If you are running Linux I figure you are in better shape, but judging by the question, especially be careful on Windows :)
Just looking out for you mate, deep web can get into some /b/ shit, and safe is always a better choice when it comes to these things that we can control!

They are correct. Do not modify TOR, unless you are a TOR expert!
