heads up, TOR small vid http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=315

So as far as computer applications go, just using Silk Road is reasonably safe?  Any hacking issues that someone needs to worry about just from installing the software?

The nifty thing about Silk Road is that it can only be accessed through the Tor network.  While it doesn't make tracking your IP/Location impossible, it sure makes it a hell of a lot lot harder (and more expensive) than most authorities are willing to deal with to bust someone over.

Hi all,

I've been mining for a couple of weeks, so thought I ought to get round to posting.

In the interests of making the bitcoin economy actually work, I've also started accepting bitcoins as payment for adverts on my 150,000+ pageview/day Scrabble Cheat-O-Matic: http://spod.cx/cheat-o-matic.shtml

It's not much, I know, but I figure every little helps

And as it happens, yes, I do like cheese.
