Spendulus, what was the point of quoting the above guys post? what are you trying to prove man
You are right.  I wrote into the post instead of below it.  Here is correction.


But i dont know how the people keep buying into those scam markets, not only alot of people lost btcs in the silkroad closure but many were scammed on the other two markets.

I lost 0.18BTC myself when sheep marketplace went down Cheesy
The essence of the scam is where Dread Pirate (or his current replacements) says "Give me your bitcoins and I'll hold them for you until you want to buy something from my bad-ass site".

This is different from sending a seller your bitcoins directly, and it is different than a transaction involving escrow.

Nothing like healthy scepticism and hard evidence
Actually, Silk road II was hacked, lost a lot of bitcoins, promised to pay back and already paid 80% of their debt back or, at least, they are claiming that.

Good.  I am so sick of this communist B.S. where people don't even own their own bodies.
