It takes a while.. You have to continue hitting "Try Again"


It'll eventually let you on...
I have been doing that all day. It's working for you right now ? Are you able to extract funds or buy ?

Down right now, and since some hours.
Also, I was online before the down and It wasn't allowing me to buy, I made a withdrawn of one btc, the btc was sent, as today, seven hours later, I haven't received it yet.
 Undecided

Yeah definitely not back on for me. But it WAS on before? Was the interface the same?
Yes. It was like 9 hours before. But It didn't allowed me to buy. It allowed me to do a withdrawn, that was reflected into the Silkroad interface, but the bitcoin was never sent.
I have really bad luck, the day I just put 15 btc in to buy some shit.. That's the day It's down.  Embarrassed Hope that is ON again. With the money they win, It doesn't make sense to do a take all and run.
Well, only if the police were very near to catch them, or something like that. Hope that it came back online soon.

Should be fully operational in a few hours as right now only vendors can log in as DPR says in his statement.

I just found this comment from DPR;

UPDATE (0012 UTC):  Sorry I'm late on this update, won't happen again.  We're pretty much polishing and going down the final check list at this point.  I'm confident we'll make our "matter of days" estimate and this won't be drawn out into week+ territory (assuming nothing goes wrong when we reopen).  When we reopen, access will be limited to vendors only for a few hours so they can mark packages shipped that were sent but not marked before we went down.  Also, auto-finalize and auto-vacation haven't been running since Sunday, and we won't fire those back up for a couple of days after we reopen so everyone can get square first.  Can't wait till this is behind us Smiley  Next update before 1500 UTC Wednesday.

Finally some hope. Quick question though, would it be foolish to withdraw and send over coins while it's in this state, or would it be more apt to wait to send over when it's fully reopened?

Wait.  The receiving addresses may have changed.

Nov 13, still down Sad

Even if they get this back up, I hope a massive influx of new users is not a trend that will eventually lead to the sites downfall. More users means more publicity means more pressure on investigators.

The more public awareness the more fire under the governments ass to shut down the site.


I'm curious.  Why do you care?

Because I like the silk road setup better than most other black markets on tor and I like to be able to purchase plants from the same guy.

Official statement from Captain Dread Pirate Roberts !!

Hello everyone,

I’m alive, I’m safe. Luck would have it that the first time I’m away for more than 24 hours, the site goes down and I’m the only one that can bring it back up. As soon as we are sure there haven’t been any security breaches and taken all of the necessary precautions, we will get back up and running. If anyone’s orders get messed up because of this (auto-finalizing, etc), we will take full responsibility and make things right, just contact support once we’re back up. I’m terribly sorry for this and all of the recent problems. I promise it is my top priority to get things running smoothly again.

My money; Our Bitcoin.
Someone on the SR forum started a thread wanting Silkroad to add member ship fee's for buyers... something small 2-3 BTC for new account


It would get rid of the kids that are buying next to nothing, or just showing all their friends

and also drive a lot of potential customers to the competition.  Wink
