Hell everybody needs a cut. BTC companies take cuts as well. Bitinsant takes a cut, bitcoin fog takes a cut, then SR takes a cut and there is shipping costs, etc. Overall the road is a great place, the forums are filled with trolls but other than that its nice to read around and see whats up over there. Lot's of invaluable information is on the deep net than you could imagine. Pretty mind blowing reading forums and things.
MrEDuck, I think we should make a thread on Tor in general, not just focus on SR, but that definitely should be a part of it. Getting people on the deepnet is not the problem. The problem for me is getting newbies and people that shouldn't be on the deep net. DEA is not what I was thinking of. I was thinking of some teenagers that browse rollitup find the clearly written guide to get on SR and purchase drugs, then get caught with them.
