Title: If anybody has actually logged on in the past 30 mins please write here
Post by: XTCandLSDHappyME on November 15, 2012, 11:18 am
Hi everybody. Iv been reading the shite in this forum for the last 2 hours. Some people believe the site has been compramised. Others believe its just down to congestion. If anybody has actually logged into SR in the last 30-60 minutes or is logged on now please tell me now and put my mind at rest so I at least know its down to too much traffic.

Thanks

I cant login. Get login screen but cant get in been trying for an hour.
Wish DPR would let us know something final. I am sure he is doing his best. We all need sleep and rest.

I can get to the login screen but there I see the capha is just 3 numbers rather than the usual 2 blocks of letter/number.
Have you guys got the same thing?
If so it may be an issue with the captcha not showing the correct display & just showing the numbers but not the letters. Thats what I'm thinking anyway.

Are you getting any login failure messages?

Haven't tried to get beyond the login yet.

lets all take a deep breath and relax.  they are probbaly doing some last minute changes - such as fixing the bitcoins or something.   chill the fuck out junkies,  these threads are making me sick. 

DPR said himself everything is ok,  so why don't you try listening to him.

1st of all If they were doing changes do you not think DPR would update us? I have been waiting patiently this last week while it has been down believing everything will be fine and havnt been joining in on all the stupid conspiracy theories etc but now today its down again with no update and all these posts from a supposed hacker.. When exactly did DPR say everything is ok cos we havnt had any update since its been down again? Oh and secondly I arnt a Junkie you jumped up American wanker :)

Can't even get to login page.


Why isn't an admin or DPR himself updating us at least? I don't mind downtime, but it's fucking ridiculous leaving us in the dark like this.

Really upset with how this shit is being handled.

i guess its just too much traffic and/or some final changes/maintenances by dpr and the staff

i'll try it again in one or two hours otherwise i'll go crazy ^^

Unlike many others crowding the board this thread isn't a mega paranoia, 'we've been scammed thread, it is just - so far - folk resonably sharing info on their experience of trying to log into SR.

If  "they are probbaly doing some last minute changes - such as fixing the bitcoins or something. " then genuine user experience & isues is probably going to be useful.

The fact that "DPR said himself everything is ok, " isn't that relevant when people try to login & find they can't. Infact it's mstaken. This may not be something they're aware of - or it could be something affecting only a small proportion of users. So sharing info on this isn't out of order or over the top as you seem to be suggesting. It's just guys trying to identify issues &, hopefully, assist in getting a resolution of them.

can't get to the log in page myself, I'm not a junkie and I can score any drugs I need locally, even if they are not SR quality, I just want like everyone else to get on SR and use or/have access to my coins. I can wait but I would like to know in some way if it's going to be like this for a while, I know admin can't give much away but anything is better than nothing.

Cheers mate :) I arnt trying to start any panic or anything I just wanted to know if anybody else could get on. Put my mind at rest a little. Im sure everything will work out again. Maybe DPR got the site up and running, flew back out to his holiday destination to enjoy the rest of his holiday and the sites crashed again lol. Thats my conspiracy theory lol

I got into my sellers account last night all my coins were in escrow no money stolen. I am sure it will be up and running today. We are all just tired of losing business and I am sure DPR understands the fact that every minute his site is down he loses money.

Everyone, grab the pipe next to you. Take hit. Chill out. Relax. These updates happen multiple times throughout the year. It is most likely just a last minute burp. I logged in a few hours ago, made some purchases, and logged out. I can't log in now, but there's no reason to fear....yet. Updates come as soon as they know what's up. It takes some time....I know that's tough in today's point and click, instant gratification society, but that's what you gotta do. I been on the road almost a year, and this is a common occurrence. It's needed to keep the site from being compromised. It's not happening because it is compromised. Stay in escrow, use pgp, and don't worry about compromise. If it does fail, and oyu lose $$, isn't that better than losing your freedom?
Peace

Hi all, I might be able to put your minds at rest somewhat as I managed to login about 4am (10/11 hours roughly ago) but could not order (something to do with my funds, I topped up during downtime before realizing but they showed up when I got on) this still does not really help as not got in during last half hour (still trying).
Hope this helps.

I was in about 14 hours ago and it was very slow and unstable but at least I was able to do everything (deposit, purchase and withdraw). The withdraw arrived my wallet after 1 hour.

This is fucking bullshit.. All good vendors should boycott SR and do business via email and fuck DPR's commission!!! Some vendors already do this and I only work with less than 5 and I trust them all :) Have like 1400 in escrow and placed a new order last night as it was working perfectly, and now he won't even be able to log on and see it today!!! Fuck this shit.. I'm asking all my vendors to do shit commission free and escrow free after this shit... makes them more money and no stupid conspiracy bullshit and just this fucking shit period!!! I want my fucking order sent today or DPR can suck a dick... and yes this is shady with no update.... He just fixed it people so what's going on?? SR never went down right after a week fix in the past!!!???
Title: Re: If anybody has actually logged on in the past 30 mins please write here
Post by: Schwejk on November 15, 2012, 02:56 pm
I think doing business without escrow is not really a good idea. May be it works a time but some day if a vendor stops his business he will scam you. Nearly everyone would do that if you give him money and he can go away with it and never will see you again.

Was gonna making a deposit and purchase today but... now I'm gonna compulsively eat Apple Jacks and watch the forums go up in flames again.

I just connected to the login page, and I'm trying to get through but I keep getting the "taking too long to respond" message. The captcha for the login page was kinda fucked, it just said "950". Whatever, I'm hoping this is just a system hiccup.

If you look at your Tor log, you'll see this error message:

Tried for 120 seconds to get a connection to [scrubbed]:80. Giving up. (waiting for circuit)

The error message would be different if the site was actually down and no hidden service descriptor was being published. It would say to try again later or something like that (you can try it with one of the defunct hidden services on the Hidden Wiki to see what it looks like).

So the site is up, the HS descriptor is published, but it's under a lot of load and isn't building circuits to clients.

I could be wrong, but that's what I gather.

You speak truth.  It's basically just getting hammered right now.  Whether that's from anxious users spamming refresh or some kind of coordinated assault as some have suggested can't be determined by this, but yeah, the site's still there, just having trouble establishing circuits.

I'm not worried, just gonna try to log in at like 3AM when everyone but the meth users are asleep.

Post by: lifeis420 on November 15, 2012, 04:33 pm
I managed to login not long ago but was unable to do anything on the site.
I have another account on SR which I don't use except for times like this when I am not willing to enter my real username/password to the site incase the servers leak any data, which can happen when traffic volumes like this start submitting so many querys to the DB's.
I personally havn't been worried in the slightest and i'm almost certain the problems we are seeing know is purely from huge site traffic.
I for one won't be attempting to login again until tomorrow to give the servers a chance to stabalize.

GODDAMN would you please stop speaking about how crappy and bla bla blah SR is?
Go and buy drugs at the SUPERMARKET along the road if you think it's your right to have this service and let's see what you can get!

Anyway -I- was able to login 2 hours a go, ALL my BC are still there and there is no conspiracy running.

So just chill the fuck out and wait until everything will be fixed , up and running.

Otherwise go to BMR if you are not happy with SR, period.

The Tor browser will automatically add the "www." to the beginning of the URL when it times out I think, but you need to remove that from the address when entering the site.

silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is the Silk Road.
www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is NOT.

The site is still getting absolutely bombarded with requests so don't expect to connect any time soon, but just make sure the www isn't there.
