I know some people are selling accounts, but it seems like a dick thing to turn around and sell them now
Your moral indignation and outright disparagement and alienation of those with surpus accounts certainly wont help you get an account when you have no ability to register one.
Entrepreneurs have an uncanny ability to recognise a financial opportunity when one presents itself.
I understand all that. But if I
do decide to buy an account, I'm sure the people with the extra accounts would still want to take my money. When it comes down to it, I doubt they would give a crap what I said about selling them. It just makes no sense for Silk Road to not allow new accounts if people are just selling them. If the wrong people want to get access to the site, they still can but now have to pay a small fee.
Ultimately, like I said, if the site and the process is as secure as it is supposed to be, why stop people from creating new accounts? What is the threat?
I'm pretty new to all this so maybe my idea as to why new accounts can't be created is totally off. I PM'd the Silk Road OP (rep?) to see whats up.
On a side note, I never understood why people go out of their way to post a comment bashing someone else's comment and not contribute anything to further the purpose of the actual thread... Do you really not have anything better to do than to antagonize someone you don't know and never will?
I never did anything bannable.. just browsed a bit and messaged a few sellers. When I try to log in I get a blank page and a captcha that just refreshes the page when I type in my account info...
