Will there ever be another Silk Road?

Things have changed for all of us around here since that dreadful morning in October. I truly believe one of the only solutions to all of the scamming and hacking is to just do personal business with one or two main vendors that you may have developed a relationship with over the past 2 years. Of course payments should still be anonymous and messages encrypted but I see no reason why we need a marketplace that just lists all of the items available when we can conduct fee-free business through direct and encrypted communication methods.

TheMarketplace seems to be a good potential alternative (IMO)

There will always be a demand for this stuff.

People were buying and selling large quantities of drugs long before SR existed, I think it will continue going on.

you need a marketplace because without feedback and escrow you have absolutely no clue or protection when good vendors go bad.

as for whether their will be another SR, you must of not been around when SR was up, site outages were constant and prolonged, nothing was ever updated, it was a pretty rickety operation but it worked and we trusted the staff and thats what people loved about it but its time to put the old SR model down and move away from trust.

No. This is the end of an era.
