Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

They will fix it soon.
Otherwise will be the tor team fixing this DDoS exploit on their network.
This affects tor network big time.

How exactly would the TOR team do that? Because the attack is on TOR itself not Silk Road specifically. The attack is happening because of a weakness of the Tor protocol, the attacker can do this type of attack to any TOR hidden and Im sure its a safe bet its something they want to resolve. |

I've been saying this for ages. Silk Road is the single most driver of REAL bitcoin trade there is.
Most other "businesses" that accept bitcoin are doing very little volume. Whereas SilkRoad is pumping massive amounts through.
Bitpays announcement of $5m is absolute horse shit lies.

If Silk Road would be shut down, competitors would take it's place. End of story.

That's right. It's been two years now, and the only widely used economic application for Bitcoins I see besides Silk Road is Satoshi Dice (obviously besides speculation+mining). I'm willing to be proven wrong, though. Is there anything with more users and volume? Most of Bitpay's claimed volume was due to Avalon's ASICs which were sold through them. |

You have a problem with a site that essentially removes crime from the unnecessarily prohibited drug trade? Then don't use it. |

You are absolutely right. You better watch out though, you may crush the dreams of all the dreamers on here who think that bitcoin will survive without the Road. +10 |

I believe SR related transactions are still the biggest real world appliance of BTC. That might change in the future, but a huge part of the current demand for exchanging BTC originates from SR. |

In 2011 Silk Road was about 80-90% of Bitcoin transactions. Today it is closer to 20-30%.
Illegal transactions are actually a good thing, it shows that the system works.
When the government is going home to home confiscating weapons and bibles you will want a currency that can buy things the government does not like.

+1 Bitcoin success? Impartiality. Lady Liberty is blindfolded for this reason. Let not an act or situation be prejudged to the extent that those in suspicion are immediately persecuted. I do not want to live in a society where all is prejudged. Please see the movie (or read the book) 1984 for the outcome of such a judgmental society. The point is not to right a wrong, but to allow all that is right. |
"Bitcoin has been an amazing ride, but the most fascinating part to me is the seemingly universal tendency of libertarians to immediately become authoritarians the very moment they are given any measure of power to silence the dissent of others." - The Bible
