Title: How did you come across the Silk Road
Post by: motek on April 02, 2013, 08:32 pm
I learned of the SR back in about 2010, but didn't actually come to check it out until this year, when reading an article somewhere reminded me about it  ;D 8)

  I guess there a many way to 'come across the road'  ....  I was just wondering how others found out about the place and how long between hearing about it and actually joining and making purchases was it for you my forum fr(i)ends  ;D ???

 And did it take any of you about a week to completely sort out wtf with PGP and get a handle on the forums

Motek went through a phishing site first registration (onion + .to at the end = BAD)
and had to make all new accounts, and after a few successful purchases, promptly got uber confused with "which password/min, went where?!" and locked herself out of her second accouny! (fortunately SR support came to the rescue, bless their patient and helpful hearts  8) 8)

And so she had to open a THIRD account where finally, she's been able to "keep it all together"  ::)

And so she'd like to know (if you're happy to tell, of course :D )
 how did you choose the nym you have? 
 Mine means "sweetheart" in Hebrew ... it fitted at the time ... plus it kinda sounds like some motor parts store  :o 
 I like the ambiguity  ::) ;D


 Looking forward to tales where ... "the truth is stranger than fiction"  :o


I hope you are all doing as well as you can ...love motek  :D

Well I heard about it back in 2011 at Electric Zoo festival when i overheard these 2 guys talkin about it.. I never followed up to check it out tho.
Then about 2 years later (a month ago) I was doing a research paper for my economics class about different currencies and I ran into an article about the "currency of the future". so i thought bitcoins sounded really cool and then the end of the article mentioned Silk Road. I'm like hey that sounds familiar! I looked it up and I've been on here since :)
