BMR owner backopy writes today:

During these days I'd to commit the worse of the sins to get the site online; use a VPS!
The VPS admin had stole the code and leaked it.
This means I can't operate anymore.
I'd read the rumors, and I've to say I'm not BCE, but his work was where I learn some basics to build the site.

I'll put up in a few days a system to allow you to recover your BTC, they went nowhere and I've all needed data to refund them.

I can then confirm this is actually BMR's index.php file:

All the best and until the next time,

backopy

----UPDATE 2013 10 17 1500 UTC ----
Roadmap to recovery:

I'll be creating an address where you may enter your username, password and then the address you want to withdraw the coins to.

Escrow and so on, to be dealt later on.

omg no! this is like my worst nightmare came true fuck just when i thought the dust from sr settled...

backopy Today 13:45
I hire hits on nobody, it's just sad that someone is running a VPS to peek its contents to pretend to be a hacker.

So this is it? It's over?So this is it? It's over?

Yes, I'll be building BMRv5 and come back in the future but the roadmap is still long.

Let's see how it will affect the BTC price

If SilkRoad shutdown did nothing to BTC price, this won't even be noticed.

Although, there is an interesting dynamic developing. When SR shut down, there were alternatives. Increasingly, it seems, there are no alternatives. So, the question is, does that change the utility of bitcoin, and to what extent will that affect the exchange rate?

If you call a 35% price drop on Bitstamp or a 25% drop on MtGox "NOTHING", you could be right.

Panic selling followed by value buying followed by local record highs is not a drop.

It did the trick for me lol! Any movement is a good movement for the prepared trader...

another dark service that causes media to produce negative info about bitcoin disapears

this makes bitcoin more legit which is great for legit merchants and investors. now theres even less excuses to not invest in bitcoin...

in short im happy

[justusranvier]

I think this is a good thing for bitcoin 

Yes it is, because it makes room for better, more difficult to shutdown services to replace it.

[Spekulatius]

I agree medium to long term bullish, short term bearish IMO.

yep^^
it needs to shed the bad rep it's got...I ask people if they've heard of bit coins and most of them say "isn't that the website where you buy weed"

I don't think it will have any neg effect on the BTC market

You think that if these marketplaces get shut down / close shop that others won't come in to replace them? I don't think that for a second. BMR owner said, I think, that he is re-branding and coming back.

[freethink2013]

wow he had a vps, how could it fail?

[Spekulatius]

Yes, alot of competitors will rise to the occasion. But I guess most of them get seized quickly, turn out to be outright scams (like Atlantis) or have security issues like BMR or SMP. Eventually there will be some resilient places like that but it will take time and I would count on trust to be reeastablished for another 2 years or so. How long did the DEA run the SR as a honey pot? If I was a seller I would at least wait so long plus 12 month before I would go there to run a business. Dont know whether that is realistic.

well i'd prefer to see him close the site than go to jail. as long as there is a demand for weed on the internet, someone will step in to supply it.
