Silk Road growing and getting re-designed for the increase of new users.

[Yuhfhrh]

Here's a censored screenshot of the site:

Why did you censor it? Last time I checked pictures of drugs were not illegal so long as you are not providing a link to them

Didn't want to offend anyone in the slightest by accident. Its just not something I come to this website to see lol

Translation: "I believe that bitcoin needs more drug users to buy into bitcoin in order for the market price to go up. Let's promote illegal activity in bitcoin guys!"

I believe silkroad has a bright future ,and will be around long after bitcoin is gone

FTFY

is your opinion based on hearsay or some facts? How is it more secure?

Silkroad is as secure as any hidden service, no more no less.

Which is, not entirely secure, but just enough to make it able to operate.

from the OP "We have been working tirelessly to deploy many "behind the scenes" upgrades over the past few months that have vastly improved our security, flexibility and availability."

i guess, those words are straight from DPR himself though. He constantly has people doing pentests and security isn't something that you can't upgrade. You have to be constantly looking for vulnerabilities and fix them. what i gathered from the forums from trusted members is that his pentesters found a lot of vulnerabilities that were fixed in this upgrade. That is why they couldn't say anything about when it was going to go down and couldn't post why SR went down for 10 hours. After they fixed the vulnerabilities then they announced the remake. This all seems pretty plausible to me. I can't see why anyone would think they would lie about upgrading security, because upgrading security is a standard thing that websites must do regularly (even .onion sites).

I guess its fair to call it hearsay, because they aren't going to release any proof of what was fixed for security reasons obviously.

I had no idea it went down. I don't go there very often... Once a month the wife and I will get something fun
