    Mr. writer, said it right.... or you,ll end up like this guy. the FBI is taking there time, and havin all kinds of fun going through the servers from silkroad 1.

    BALTIMORE — A Nebraska man has been charged in connection with alleges sales of drugs, gun and counterfeit currency on the Silk Road website.
    Federal prosecutors in Baltimore say 26-year-old Sheldon Kennedy of Lincoln was arrested Wednesday in Miami. He is charged in a complaint with conspiracy to traffic controlled substances and other offenses. The complaint was filed Jan. 31 and unsealed Thursday.
    Authorities say Silk Road, which had nearly 1 million registered users by July, generated more than $1 billion in illicit business from January 2011 through September. The website used Bitcoin, the tough-to-track digital currency, before it was shut down.
    According to court documents, undercover agents in Baltimore bought cocaine and a pistol from Kennedy on Silk Road, and he sold counterfeit currency to another person in Maryland.

    Criminal Complaint available here. http://antilop.cc/sr/files/sheldon_kennedy_criminal_complaint.pdf

    Picassa Album mentioned in the complaint: https://plus.google.com/photos/117077983407069201348/albums
    Facebook account is available but doesn't seems to contain the quotes mentioned in the complaint.
    Worth noticing at the end of the complaint that he voluntarily provided shipping information (including name and address)(with pics also) for sales of drugs and firearms.

    SR is getting hit hard by hackers on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure it is probably the cops doing these DDoS attacks....exchanges such as localbitcoins are also dealing with denial of service attacks.

    All information is encrypted and no information or money was stolen. Service is being disrupted by these pricks tho ....somebody out there doesn't like the idea of bitcoins and wanna make it hard for us to purchase them!

    The disruptions are momentary but sporadic but mostly very annoying

    The bitcoin is threatening in of itself not even factoring in the ability to buy drugs. It represents a currency out of the control of the 1%. It does not depend on the federal reserve or bank of England to decide its value. This is why you see so much media trying to discredit it.

    Bitcoin is an unsustainable, resource killing, greed driven, destruction based, parasite lottery currency. It would be outlawed if people understood how it really works.

    I need to install the bitcoin client on a system but I don't wanna have to download the blockchain again. I'm pretty sure I'd go to pretty drastic measure to avoid having to re-sync (if you call copying the blockchain drastic)

    #dogecoin .. not really profitable to mine anymore

    i'm gonna look into shibecoin, i've heard some talk of it but I'm not sure it's gonna go anywhere like doge did but it's work checking out.

    some ppl definitely doing shady things tho

    these things have their uses .. mostly niche uses at this point ;)
