Encryption wouldn't help if you're talking with an undercover agent; and if you sign it they'll will have further proof it was you that wrote it.
And moreover,if you're buying from a honeypot,you're done for. So if I order a package on Silk Road and my mother signs for it, that means she bought it? And wouldn't that be entrapment if the police are claiming to sell fake drugs online? You can go the police station , buy a coffee from a vending machine and throw it at the first cop you see , you'll get away cause it's the same kind of entrapment like on SR. They offered you the option of purchasing that damn coffeee... What are you talking about? I don't see how assaulting someone with coffee applies here. But of course there is , they offered hot coffee (drugs) to people that come to the police station out of which 99% hate cops (to people that want to buy drugs because of addiction). It's the same. . It's really not.

There has to be a few other sellers who were "completely legit", as it were. Good luck to him!

In his case, I would do the same. And I think the US is obligated to give the coins back, he has a legal business, if he can prove that he sold those things for that amount he will succeed.

Will be interesting to see what happens. In theory, he should get his coins back. In practice ..... nah. The feds won't want to open that can of worms.

I wonder if the grounds for seizure of coins would've been different had SR servers not been hosted in the US?

I wonder if the grounds for seizure of coins would've been different had SR servers not been hosted in the US? I always wondered where the servers were located. Is the actual physical location know? Hmm, not sure actually. I thought I read it was in the states, but it seems uncertain: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/08/silk-road-hack-suspicion-fbi-serverSome internet sleuthing, meanwhile, suggests that the Silk Road server itself may have been hosted in Iceland: Runa Sandvik, who works on the Tor Project, notes that there's an Icelandic server at https://193.107.86.49/ which has a self-signed certificate, and redirects to silkroadvb5piz3r.onion - the Silk Road website. But, Sandvik points out, the FBI affidavit says that the server was imaged (ie copied) as part of a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request - and Iceland doesn't appear to be a signatory to a MLAT with the US. "That leaves us with Latvia and Romania, Sandvik comments. So we're left with uncertainty which might not be answered until the FBI brings its full charges to the courtroom. Did a US agency use an exploit - perhaps even a zero-day one (ie, not previously notified) to hack the Silk Road server, and so gain access to details about who was accessing the server - and then follow the trail back to its alleged owner and users? Or was the takedown of Silk Road the result of painstaking piece-by-piece detective work? This is a trial which will be watched with great interest.

Yeah, seems The Marketplace & BlueSky Marketplace wont load for me. SR does, and I got Agora Market to load but says you need an invite or something.
