Even though the site has more than doubled since last year, and more than half of the vendors are in the U.S it's was most definitely a DOS. The SR admin "Dread Pirate Roberts" said so on the forum. He thanked who ever did it because it made them realize what flaws the site had and made their defenses stronger and whatnot. The SR admins are estimated to bring in about $150,000 a month just from fee's.

Id say something like "on a mission from god to stop all contraband"...
lol nah they are real bad. You have to remember that Australia has not got any bordering countries so I would say 95% of contraband either gets here from planes or shipped over. There is no borders that people can smuggle it over in their cars everyday. Im pretty sure the markups would stem from that area. How hard it is to get the shit here!
By the way..."IT FUCKIN SUCKS"

Yeh im not doubting they will send it. I would only go with someone with alot of positive feedback you know...? Im just worried about it getting through customs. I suppose I could just buy smaller amounts but still...Waiting a couple weeks and then realising its not coming because of customs would suck!! I have read some vendors will post multiple envolopes/packages for larger amounts but how many g's you think would fit in a single envelope if they flat pack it?

That is a question to ask the individual vendor, they know their packaging methods while we don't know them for sure. I imagine that the weight of everything is also important because letters have a pretty low limit. Go and do some reading on the forums.

Owsley lived there for how many years and you mean to tell me he didn't pass the torch? Poke around, Bro, there's got to be someone who learned a few lessons from The Bear.

australian vendors on silkroad are super expensive, but think if i did live there i would rather pay the extra and have internal mail because lots of stuff from silkroad doesnt make it through aus customs.

They actually just busted their first SR vendor, He was an Aussie. Had over 10,000 texts of his and he was selling bricks and whatnot. Don't know all the details you'd have to look it up.
I got on the road pertty early. Only bad experience I had was on the 420 event from last year when "tony76" (I think taht was the name) had everyons trust and made away with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that was when the bitcoin was only $5.
I used to buy 3-4hundred bucks of stuff a week, sell most of it, and make a tiny proffit.
Then I got clean, leaving about $60 bucks worth of BTC on my account.... When they were under $10 per btc.
A few months ago I heard the value had gone up. I check into it and my Silk Road account had over $1000 worth of BTC in it. RELAPSE!!!
Just do research on the forums before you make a purchase you're not willing to lose. Having spent over $5,000 on the website, I can say that if you do it properly, it is safe from LE, and safe from rip off.
Dont Finalize Early.
And I still see no need for PGP. Tyler must be a coke or meth user as the vendors of those substances say their customers are the only ones who use pgp as a whole.
Of course, I never discuss what I am buying, so I see no need for pgp.

Anyone who doesn't use PGP is a fool or doesn't use it because they don't know how.
Heres a scenario for you.
You bought some drugs on SR. You send the vendor your address via a SR message. He sends your drugs but forgets to delete your message. The cops bust him, log into his SR account and see's your address there. Bam! next thing you know your sucking bubba's cock.
Now if you would of sent him a message via pgp they would not be able to decipher the 'code' without 1. installing a keylogger or 2.entering in the passpharse (which should be long and 'unusual')
And no I don't use coke or speed (at least not in a long time)
Most every vendor I have ever bought from also sells "secondary" items. Heroin vendors sell syringes, for example. Most of the guys who sell hash or smoke, sell pipes and stuff also.
You're right, I have never taken the time to learn PGP. I simply do not see a need if I'm not a vendor or if I'm not negoating for a better price if I'm making a large bulk buy.
