Title: Silk Road & other sketchy Tor sites shut down?
Post by: morph on June 18, 2011, 05:29:20 AM
    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that something of a larger scope is going on regarding the 504 errors?

  The 504 error occurs with Silk Road, Open Vendor Database, and the hidden wiki. It seems like gov't or some group is cracking down on Tor sites involving illegal activity.

  Mybitcoin works, and some other .onion bitcoin exchanges work however.

Maybe they are getting too much business.

Hmmm.. now I am wondering what some of these things are.
