DHL explanation.

Saw this on the forums by One of the mods.

A few more hours and we have a answer to everything in its entirety. But we also have very good news. We are deploying the new market where everything is fixed earlier then we wanted e.g not feature complete. But what can we do :( The IP leak is true. That was one of our test servers. But we killed everything already and besides some fresh loaded but now worthless virtual credit cards nothing is left :( Apparently we had a traitor in our midst. The person doing various tests for us after each new version. Looks like he sold this info to the highest bidder. But encryption worked. Manual as automatic. Our system does now allow for an code changes inside read-only containers besides a signed push from our servers.

But yeah, we fucked up here. Gotta admit that for sure. But we'll make very good on this within 24hours, I hope.

EDIT: Support will fix issues soon again. And we are waiting for a fresh btchost to complete syncing before we process payments again. But that should be only max 10-12 hours. Usually we have emergency machines around but we decided to burn everything for the redeployment. - SeriousSam

So DHL admins stepped and made things as transparent as possible and people are still upset? They got fucked over by one of their employees... name one large market/vendor/dealer that this hasn't happened to. Why do you think all of the larger vendors congregate to DHL? Because it's fucking badass. The admins are active in the forums and usually don't take very long to respond. I imagine they took a long time to reply to TomCheck or whoever because they are dealing with sensitive information. When your a market admin you have to be very careful what you say online, this shit doesn't just go away when you delete it. They probably had a statement prepared and then re-read it 50 fucking times just to make sure their wasn't anything that was slightly deanonimyzing with the information they were about to share.

So calm the fuck down. If you are using Dream and your worried about DHL then idk what is wrong with you. Something serious you need to get checked out.

If this is true, hopefully this will put a stop to all the flaming. It will still be necessary, however, to independently verify the security fixes in the new site.

Also, is there a PGP signed message? Dont want there to be any chance of a new honeypot.

You think you are clever by operating a full BTC node but the opposite is true for opsec. Not going to go into details here but you are not syncing that node through tor.

Do everyone a favor and stop operating a DNM when you obviously lack the skills to do so in a safe manner. Put away your arrogance before you get caught. Just stating the facts here.

Is there really any credibility left?


[2 Points] None:

We need another smart, rich, bitcoin obsessed Canadian who's family has Mob and Hells Angels ties to open another market like AlphaBay. Everyone else is a bunch of hacks.

So if you already have an established DHL account (which I opened a couple of weeks ago but have yet to place an order), will everyone's PGP still be valid ? Sorry if I'm sounding dense - I just don't understand all the tech involved in this issue ? So should I still get a 2FA message to log in and should it still work OK ?
