Title: 2013-05-31 The Fix: Big Brother Eyes Online Too Post by: joycece on June 21, 2013, 10:01:09 AM http://www.thefix.com/content/bitcoin-liberty-reserve-silk%20road--dark-web-online-narcotics-trafficking8135
Silk Road’s popularity highlights the loyalty of its satisfied customers, who appreciate its self-regulating system. Shoppers rate the reliability of sellers and the quality of their products just as on eBay. You can also communicate by email with the seller. If you decide on a purchase—a gram of Afghani hash, say, or 10 hits of LSD on blotter paper with the big blue Avatar faces from the James Cameron film—you add it to your shopping cart and press “check out,” typing in your address and paying with Bitcoins. In about a week, you'll get a vacuum-sealed, disguised package, dropped off by your postman. |
