Can I get fries with that

3000 now

I thought that was just business as usual

evol   

DUMP ALL THE RUBLES!!1

Coincidence?

People happy that another "bad-seed" has been removed from the BTC ecosystem?

Silkroad 2 did not matter for shit?

EMH says (if that is your thing)

Passive investment with wide diversification within asset classes in your portfolio beats active portfolio management in the long run.

(though more rational traders can sometimes profit from less rational traders imo)
 

Deary me, it was the first post I have read today.

Sorry for your loss.

Cannot see what the moral high ground you are talking about is.

Seems to me your relative decided to take drugs and the society he lived in, did not make it easier for him to get the help he needed, you actually could have the moral highground on that basis.

No need to hold my hand thank you, just a sensible reply would have been suffice.

Also I think most people are just surprised at how daft these operators were.


And by the way, the drug laws are all going to change.

Which is? 

BTC-e going for a little random walk

bahhaa

Maybe Adam WAS silk road 2 ..... dun dun dun..


(probably repairing his home life a little from the sounds of previous posts)

Where can I get me one of these factory bitches ? must have good teeth and good buttocks, can I pay in bitcoin and have one sent to me? need someone to rub my feet and collect my drugs and fend off all these incoming dang secret agents... maybe walk the dog, milk the cat, and harvest my rock vegetables.  

S.R 2.0 did not matter for shit.

Nah... this stuff is already "common" public knowledge, been available and in the public domain for years and years,  I am not saying anything new nor exciting... I already know that everyone out there with an interest in the topics surrounding cryptography, white or black hat hack,  and what they label "individuals with an interest in extreme privacy" are already most likely flagged for interest. I have nothing to fear, because my story is very simple. I just thought I would chip into the discussion on darkweb and the online drug thang, as some have pointed out the people that got caught , got caught because they were daft, and I am surprised they were that daft tbh. Really shocking. The methods mentioned are taught by governments themselves in fact,   where do you think I got this shit from? ha ha  ; )   The methodology on top of the technology is already used by agents and activists globally. Personally I just find it a fascinating subject, hence my input.

I gots nothing to hide so they can look at me all they like, I am currently, in stark contrast to the thought experiment I outlined above, using my laptop from a home connection, in my humble home, all very drab, plus I love my life, my freedom and to travel,  and so I would never do anything to put that at risk, certainly not for money or bitcoin or all the tea in china.

(also my own checklist excludes me from doing anything of such interest, as obviously I am talking about it openly, rule 1. And as Jorge would say, my interest is purely academic)

(though if the GCHQ want to offer me a job, please do, plus bonus they already have all my details to send the forms to )

Step 1 smash your computer and your phone

Step 2 go to the middle of a forest

Step 3 get collecting that lichen and birch bark

Step 4 build pit and make fire

Step 5 find a deer to kick to death

Step 6 dinner

*Step 7 Wear dear carcass as a hat/makeshift bivouac  

Yes,  no shit? and to think I had not thought about that, nor that I assume my communications are already monitored along with everyone elses.

And what will they achieve? absolutely sweet fuck all.... they will waste their time and resources and at the end of it have an idea that I like to eat, sleep, shit, work, talk on forums, fuck, drink and occasionally on special occasions get high... tbh they could just ask... it would be less hassle.

If they want to send a special access team over, the key is under the mat.

As a paranoid customer you could use the method I outline above also, and have your goods delivered to a block, with communal post, with a fake name.  

(again just a thought exercise)

(In reality as someone posted above, it is far easier to walk down to your local bar, chat to your local friends, and get whatever one could need within minutes, at leas this is the case in most cities around the world, in my experience, and is certainly true of London. No shootings, no stabbings (sure they happen, usually gang related/organised crime)

 In my local area, and all over London and much of the U.K to be honest the police, do not care much about use, and less and less about low level distributors, unless they fall into their laps, which they often do. The government may say in public that they care, but they seem to have gone so far off the boil in that respect that it is laughable, and also they really do know that in 100% of the bars and restaurants and clubs in London, drugs are freely available pretty much every night of the week, these people are not even hiding,  and more to the point in London now, from the dustman, to the judge, to the doctor, to the police officer , to the office worker, from the working class the middle class and to the rich , drugs are everywhere, and I mean everywhere. In the UK there is very little social stigma attached anymore to the issue (behind closed doors)

The reality of it is drug use will slowly become decriminalised and reclassified and replaced by education, controls, production and taxing. And after all why not, it is the only thing that will work in reducing the harm that goes hand in hand with the illegal global drug trade. It will reduce crime, reduce income for organised crime, and reduce the cost on the tax payer both in terms of health and policing/incarceration, and will eventually overtime via education make drug abuse less likely/harmful.

Yes dear, and not following a-i will get one to that jail lifestyle in quick form, is my point, that is all.

Also I would not suggest doing the above for your weekly online shopping, just for your illicit internet business, if that was ones choice of lifestyle.

They say crime pays, but it does not pay for doing nothing.

Personally it all seems like hard work, I will give you that, but just saying if you were going to do it, and stay "safe" the above would be the bare minimum even for an amateur imo.

Also really I do not think the closing of, or opening of, SL2 or an new SL3, 4, 5 etc or openbazaar, matter a crap for Bitcoin anymore.

(also the above steps are not actually very difficult, the hardest being the silence, and the dealing with lunatics that would be your connection to the source- far more  hassle than the privacy measures I outline above)
