Title: New Road user. Cannot create a login/actually login.
Post by: PharaohMoans on June 12, 2012, 03:29 am
I traversed to the homepage, and attempted to create an account. I did, and was re-directed to the login screen. I attempted to enter my info, but after hitting "go", the page just refreshed. I am POSITIVE that my login info is right. Am I missing something here? Or am I just being dumb?

Are you sure you went to the actual SR address, which is:  http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/

There are a lot of phishing sites around that try to harvest account data.  Make sure you only ever connect via the above address, rather that finding the link on the hidden wiki, or wherever.

Phew. Thanks. Wrong site the entire time. Luckily didn't post anything revealing. I really appreciate it.

You're not out of the woods, my man! If you put in your username and password, and it was a phishing site, someone has those very private pieces of information from you right this minute. If you happen to put some money (BTC) into your account, be prepared for them to steal it from you!

I advise you to stop immediately, don't fund the account, create another login identity and start fresh. Heed my words or yo may be really sorry latrer on.

Having this issue as well, but I've been using the legit address both yesterday and today
Same thing happens on the Armory

Any ideas?

Bookmark the real homepage on your Tor.

Or just memorise it, safest way!

See, I can't even log in either.  I've tried creating an account, tells me it's done, then it sends me back to the log in page, even using the link given in here.  What the hell, yo?

Are you sure you have cookies enabled?

Yes, cookies are indeed enabled
When I try to register it just seems like it refreshes the page, same with trying to log in

Tried using both Firefox and Chrome with the legit address, still no results

For me, the Tor network is very slow.  Often, even after I am successful at logging in, subsequent pages won't load or "time out."

It is not unusual for me to have to enter my log in credentials several times.  There are other times when the site is busy (I'm guessing too much internet traffic at SR?) that I can't log in at all.  I usually wait 10 minutes and try again.  I know I can't be the only one who has to hit the "Try Again" button when perusing the SR site.

It can be frustrating, but security is paramount - so, it's a small price to pay given this site wouldn't exist otherwise.
