Topic: Bitcoin and the Silk Road (Read 10201 times)

Lmfao! I assume you're an adult and don't need a scolding from a real physician. Just be careful. I don't want to hear about you whoring for bitcoins or holding a sign at the intersection.

"Will work for bitcoins"

You made me laugh. That's a good thing.

I agree, something is wrong with the world. He wouldn't give me more refills when I ran out so I had to go to a different dr. to get more. 

Jeeezus! That's the real problem.

A twenty-something wants to experiment with a rare psychedelic, and it's damn near impossible for them to obtain it in the same fashion their parents did - even if they do, it probably isn't what's stated .

Anyone can complain about a booboo that time and conservative intervention will heal, and get handed (without asking) fistfuls of one of the most addictive and damaging compounds the world has ever known - Legally. Those pills are merely palliative, not curative. They are fine short term, but refills?! For low back pain?! Modern medicine at its absolute worst.   

Something's wrong with the world today, and it is not SR.

Um...so long as contraband remains contraband the services of these groups will be in demand. The cartels will continue to battle over transit routes and supply chains unless the West eliminates the need by decriminalizing chemical and botanical experimentation and use. We are a long ways from that. We have guns to sell to the cartels, Wars on this and that to fund, and morality police to justify.

SR caters to tech savvy white guys that pay premium prices for their respective fix. It keeps the customer and the dealer relatively out of harm's way, if they are both smart.  They are rarely both are smart. The busts will still happen, but in the traditional sense (guy in blue smells reefer, buyer is loose, seller is followed from his supplier. Most of the dealers still deal locally, and many of the buyers are local dealers. If you do not agree, read the SR forum.

I do not transact on SR because I have neither the desire nor need for the wares. I admit that I was curious about the marketplace after hearing about it as a result of following Bitcoin. The main intrigue for me now is the unique escrow process, and the fact that there are more scammers here and other places selling legal wares than are on SR selling stolen CCs, fake IDs, and illicit substances. Fascinating. I'm happy it exist to meet demand because it keeps otherwise non-violent people out of the morgue and out of prisons. I wish they would do away with the criminal products that have real world victims (stolen paypal, CCs, etc). Individual liberties stop where others' liberties begin blah, blah, blah.    

Why don't you just go to your local college and pick up whatever you want? It's much easier. Or better yet make a doctors appointment. Doctors are the best pushers in town. I went to a doctor complaining about a lower backache and without knowing anything about me he gave me a script for Oxycodone with two refills. I was high for a month. lol

Suppose you are using a VPN so that your ISP can't snoop on your traffic. It could be possible to do a physical key exchange if the service has an office somewhere, or if you are connecting between two sites you control. That's one way to do it.

Out of band key exchange.

Myth. While training dogs they put some marijuana inside a ziploc bag along with acetone, coffee, hot sauce, diesel fuel, wall paint and body spray and dogs can still detect the marijuana inside easily. One thing to note is that dogs do not smell through the ziploc, it is the smell that evaporates through the ziploc as time goes by, it becomes easier for the dogs to detect the longer it stays in the ziploc.

The reason for this is dogs smell on different "channels", if a human smells a soup he can recognize that he smells a soup but if a dog smells a soup he recognizes all the individual ingredients, he smells the tomato, the chicken breast, the carrots, the cucumbers and so forth.

The only way to efficiently con the dog is to have food or cats nearby, thus when the dog signals the dog handler assumes the dog wants the food or the cat, not even really conning the dog but rather the dog handler.


Thinking logically, what would stop me from acquiring the keys that bounce around during the handshake? I have access to ALL of your traffic.

That's true. They could be using a seal-a-meal to help out too. 

If someone did grow choice buds and mailed some of that to his sister every year, it might pass straight trough even though a dog could have smelled it.

Maybee no dog checked it because it was domestic mail, or maybe the amounts were too small. A net does have openings.

Well, it could be. I wouldn't know. I would never grow choice buds and mail some to my sister every year because that would be wrong.

Hmmm, sounds like a myth.

Nah, just pack it in coffee. That fucks dogs up 100% of the time.

I'm not into silk road and that business, but would it not make more sense to pack the stuff in an airtight container and then dip it in some kind of strong solvent like acetone or hydrogen peroxide to remove smells?

Have fun decrypting my encrypted traffic.

"Not possible" is a pretty bold statement, an FBI agent could be sniffing the data coming through your internet cables right next to your house.

This is being currently proven in some less-overpoliced regions of Europe. Package locker facilities are getting regularly firebombed; attacks on package couriers increased despite them no longer carrying any cash.

Silk Road is just the most widely known English language underground site. Mail order illicit drug sales have much longer history outside of the USA and even predating Bitcoin. Personally I think the spreading popularity of hidden-service Tor forums was the major enabler in this form of trade.

Non sequitur.

The gang violence would be simply redirected. Currently it is directed against the competing gangs and the police. The violence would spread to include the employees of the postal and courier services. Edit: not only against employees but also against the infrastucture: mail boxes and package lockers.

Net loss for the society.

What does it matter, people buy drugs daily anyways.

You got all your facts wrongs, except the fact that you indeed need to change your gloves each time.

But you do not have any credibility, as all your statements and simply and plainly wrong.
