The question is, if DPR can do anything about the problem... if it is Tor, because I hardly believe that his website or server is the bottleneck.
DPR stated on Nov 2nd:
Just want to keep everyone in the loop. We are in uncharted territory in terms of the number of users accessing Silk Road. Most of the time we've been able to keep up with the demand, but we ARE behind the curve right now. Being the largest hidden service ever to exist and having limited options for expanding infrastructure due to the need for security means we may stay behind the curve until we can find a way to accommodate the demand. There are several paths we are currently pursuing and we hope to be back on track very soon. Please be patient and try using the site during off-peak times.
since then it got much worse
Your post is not allowed here, because it's a:
Clear suggestion to market participants to take a particular course of action (e.g. "Buy now before the price goes to 5", "SELL quickly, the weekend is coming")
I don't know if I need to state that I just wanted to start a discussion whether
*this will not influence the price at all
*this will cause a lower price now, and will go up again later
*will drive the price up
*etc
Silk Road being down is more bullish than anything. The reason it's having trouble is the sheer amount of new users. It's growing too fast.
That is a so called positive problem.
you mean it will be low first, then go up again? is that a financial advice?
