[QUOTE=gav618;45243601]Avoid SR 2.0 like the plague, I was scammed for a lot, and now learning about his history this shouldn't have happened, as the site's support is slacking/possibly assisting scammers.
The vendor had lots of good reviews and I placed an order and after a while still had nothing and seller did not respond to messages. Contacted support received copy and pasted response. I left a bad review and today checked up on his reviews and I saw someone else left a bad review and linked to a thread on their forums. Apparently a lot of people were scammed by him starting in April. I can't understand a support team doing nothing about someone who doesn't respond to customers.
From now on I'm only using escrow markets and I'm going to do more research as apparently reviews on a site is not enough, doing a forum search could have saved me. I'm going to suggest this thread get renamed to Darknet Markets instead of silkroad to avoid tempting people to SR 2.0. That would fit well especially seeing as markets get cycled through quickly, SR, bmreloaded, sheep, atlantis, tormarket and probably more have gone defunct in less than a year.[/QUOTE]
Sorry to hear that you got scammed.. who was the vendor?
I've said it before in this thread, that on-site reviews are not reliable or worth very much credit. The whole 5/5 rating system is flawed anyways, but that's another issue in and of itself. Vendors will make several accounts and send btc to himself and write a positive review. You cant do that so much on the forums, since they require you to post to get out of only posting in the newbie forum, Its more of a hassle.

I guess even with the fees, the fake purchases were worth it for him. I accept its my fault I got scammed. Just I don't think the site should be used after seeing the response I got from the support team, and the fact that he's still live.
You shouldn't expect anything from a market's support. If you use a site without escrow or if you FE, it's your fault when you don't get the product. There's not much they can do about that.
[QUOTE=de;45244492]I'm not sure what you guys are using for PGP but if you're new to the game this is definitely the easiest program I've found thus far.

It's as simple as copying down the public PGP key of whomever you want to message, importing it via keychain tab, and then typing out your message. Takes about 5 minutes max to learn.[/QUOTE]
And I thought I just had to copy the PGP key in the message window and write my addres under it. Ive done this for past few orders well shit. Am I fucked?.
Or atleast that was how I remember It used to be almost 2 years ago.

I don't want any money or refund from the site, it is my fault. I want the guy banned or at least suspended until they are positive he's a scammer. There's no good reason not to reply to customers after a purchase, I can see that his profile always said last active today, so he definitely was getting messages and actively ignoring them. He'd have a lot better case if he was denying it to me, but he isn't.

Calm down, he'll probably be able to wipe your info and if he cant then you're still probably fine (unless he's LEA or gets raided before he deletes your info which is super unlikely). People send their addresses in clear text all the time when they first start out, 99% of the time the police never find out and if they do they hardly ever go after the buyers. Especially in Europe with their more relaxed laws, you're going to be fine m8.

just to reiterate how unlikely it is you're going to get busted, they police cant just magically view your info unless they have the market already compromised. if you're on a good market like agora or evo you shouldn't have any issue.

Your paranoia is kind of adorable. Don't worry, friend. I used to send my address in plain text all the time too. Everything's going to be okay. PGP is just an extra (albeit intelligent) precaution.
Paycheck just rolled in and I feel like drugs, which sites has a reliable escrow system these days?

I think a vendor went rouge or he had some malware on his device(s).
Still sucks man, it's fucked up that people would do this.

Shit, I never even thought about what would happen if a vendor got a RAT on his computer or something. I guess they have to be extra careful with that shit considering what they risk.
re-uping solely because this thread needs to be some front page shit.

i mean bumping lol not reuping
How much cheaper can weed be on SR?
Finally got around to learning how to use tor. Are there any good guides out there for finding your preferred community/vender? Other than tor, all I have is PGP and a few private keys. Do I need any more security measures?
I use agora now has escrow and never failed me.
Agora is good but its stupid slow and down all the time. Silk road 2 is sketchy but fat and almost always up
Cannabis road seems pretty nice. It's small though but with a pretty much 100% uptime
This is better and legal.....
[url]http://www.legalbuds.com/[/url]
someone should start a thread on that!
Agora is closed, otherwise I'd just use that.
Bitcoin has been going down a good deal. Anybody know what's up with that? Mindtwistah? Lots of panic selling going on it seems.
