So I never used SR but always curious...how did they come right with shipping? Surely the buyer or sender would get caught and traced? Someone please explain  |

not sure how does that work, if for example the US police tries to catch junkies they get an order from Brazil and they don't have jurisdiction over there, how do they deal with it? |

They probably restrict shipping to the US. I do remember an article about a bust in Australia a while back, but now I can't find it. |

Someone please explain Well domestic mail isn't searched or dog-sniffed, so that part was probably extremely easy. Sellers would ship anonymously, I.E. just drop it in the Drop Off Box, wearing a jacket. As for the buyers, it was never worth the trouble to arrest someone buying a ounce of marijuana. Especially if the person doesn't sign for the package, they have no real case. |

I never got around to using it but from what I understand the best thing about it was that you could leave feedback on the vendors, so there was some semblance of peer review on quality. Now they shut it down and we got kids literally dieing from poison molly...fucking brilliant government, way to go...  |
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Google for SilkRoad 2. |

Although you're still buying the same product. |

We do know there were undercover cops on Silkroad, though, because one of them sold DPR hitman services  Although, apparently vendor accounts cost a lot of money and were throttled, so it wouldn't be a piece of cake to pose as a legitimate vendor. |

Vendor accounts were only $500, but you couldn't unload a kilogram of anything, without serious reputation. And the FBI also bought quite a few items, 3 grams of LSD, a half kilogram of meth, and a half kilogram of cocaine. Also multiple kilograms of Marijuana. |

Also multiple kilograms of Marijuana. maybe they ended up doing all those drugs and partied. it wouldn't surprise me. they'd just have to tell the higher ups "yeah, we need to buy this to figure out the process." |
