I heard about it from a friend but he found it on reddit and it would have been only time until I discovered it there myself. this was a year ago now, i believe after "the gawker article". I personally think the more people the safer it is so i don't mind spreading it around to people I know I can trust.

I found d SR after researching MoM.
Was getting thoroughly pissed off with the so-called A* service from a well known Canadian outfit. Cock-up after cock-up.
So I jumped ship and decided to try and find something more reliable/user friendly, not to mention domestic. (uk).

So here I am. Ta daa. etc.

Saw it on the hidden wiki, looked at it out if interest. I assumed it was a scam but saw that the site looked very legitimate. Researched it and found out it was legit and was completely shocked. I bought some bit coins and made an order.

Only ordered a little bit of weed but was so over the moon when it landed on my door step. The fact that I bought this online like I buy everyday items was fantastic.

I don't know many people so getting drugs is hard, I can get weed if I bother enough people. Thanks to SR I tried MDMA as I've always wanted to, that was brilliant.

I educate myself on drugs before I try them and like to make sure I'm getting a quality product, thanks to SR I can!

I was aware of its existence for a long time but never had the real interest in checking it out until recently. This, like everything in life, should be used with caution and wisdom

In the summer of 2011
A friend told me something about a website...didn't knew the name, all that he told me was .onion......Took me 2 weeks of search on internet to figure out what is a BTC, how to buy , what is PGP, how to use Tor, what is Tor....I was impressed .

First I found The Black Market...A week I thought that is the website and after finding the real website http://ianxz6zefk72ulzz.onion/index.php [ this is the old address ] and I was shocked about the huge difference between two websites. I mean BMarket is a small place where you can be scamed easily .
After that I found the Farmers Market and OVDB too .

Hardly ever heard about it in my usual haunts, cannabis farming forums.  Tracked it down while looking for alternatives to the local legal medical cannabis market, which is in pretty poor shape in my area.  Not selling here yet, currently in lurking and learning mode.

happened across a particular post on a drug forum where a guy got busted (not from anything to do with SR) but he was blabbing about how easy it was to get drugs these days
Title: Re: how did you discover SR?

Saw an article on the dark web, was immediately determined to learn as much as possible and get on SR!
Title: Re: how did you discover SR?
Post by: spikeo on January 25, 2013, 05:10 pm
I heard about it on a talk show on NPR a few week back. Had never heard of the darknet. Wow what a surprise.

I was looking up dilaudid info with pharmaces and SR wiki popped up and from there I learned about tor and everything else.

word of mouth OVER A YEAR AGO finally looked into it in the past few weeks my self...
knew it existed for so long feel like a dumb-ass for not going out of my way to access it earlier...
funny I listen to NPR all the time but missed their report on this, anyone know which show that was a part of/from around what time? would love to hear the podcast...

I heard the original NPR report which was a loooong time ago. If you search google for "NPR Silk Road" you'll find exactly what you need ;)

A friend of mine told me about it when we were chatting. They never tried it, but I decided I would.
Title: Re: how did you discover SR?
Post by: redcube1 on January 25, 2013, 07:55 pm
Honestly I dont even know how I found it... But I do know I was searching for some way to purchase drugs, for several days. Really looked hard...
But I do know I saw someone say something about silkroad somewhere, and it was very brief and bland. And from there I used google, and fell apon some bullshit silkroad forum. It seemed almost legit, for a day or so before I figured out the real gateway to the silkroad! :D

Best thing thats ever happened to me... Sad ik, i have severe social anxiety and dont get out much, leave me alone :)

There was a thread on reddit about what people do for side income and someone said their side business of selling diacetal morphine on the silk road was booming. Which piqued my interest considerably. For some reason I googled silk road already knowing what it's past history was, and here I am.

I had been looking for legit LSD for a few years only to get ripped off by bunk shit a couple times (it's real hard to find genuine LSD here), got tired of it and in desperation typed "buy lsd online" or something in google. Saw a couple articles talking about SR, and after a bit of research I fount the url. I already had Tor so I launched that bitch up now here I am.

Post by: NorthernStar on January 26, 2013, 05:35 pm
I'm not happy how I found it, Daily Mail, always looks down their noses at cannabis users, so you can imagine the disdain shown to class A drug users sellers. Well  they have run 2 full page articles on Silk Road. *Pauses as comes to the distasteful bit* Then I Googled it and guess what? Only a step by step guide to configure and run Tor, five mins later I was here. "24  hours after that I had a smoke of the best god dam ****** I have ever had in my life( well since the late 90's). I don't like they ease of which I got here. Maybe a little jealous I never found it earlier. But gutted some clown has put a step by step dummies guide. What a fecking liberty eh?

I think  i was just on the internet and i happened to read about it..i really dont remember exactly..but i do kno that it took me a while to find the silk road..but im happy i found it..i havent made my first order yet but i plan to very soon..

I heard about it a long time ago but didn't make an effort to access the Road. This past December I found /r/silkroad on reddit and did countless hours of reading and research. Downloaded all the necessary tools and went on my journey.

Found out about it after reading an article on forbes and then did a google search to figure out just how it worked and how to get signed up  ;D

I read about it a year or so ago, it as featured in a magazine that I believe posted it online (There have been many..)

I didnt actually get my shoes on to start walking the road until I got fed up with the quality of product in my area. Total bullshit.

Thought to myself
SELF,
what if there were an online marketplace you could rely on for drugs?

then i figured that most good Ideas have already been thought of and did a little googling...when i came across the deepweb wiki...n finally SR.

true story.
Title: Re: how did you discover SR?
Post by: Fnbitz on January 27, 2013, 02:19 am
Quite a while back I remember reading about Tor and general internet privacy but never explored it any further. Then a few months later I suppose I saw the funny bitcoin logo a few times on websites, and then it intrigued me. A quick wikipedia search on what bitcoin was led back to Tor, and then research into Tor led onto the abyss which is the deep web inevitably finding SR.

Funny story, I actually found SR due to finding out about BTC due to the CBS show 'The Good Wife'? (I think)... They had an episode where they were defending Mr. Bitcoin... lol... started doing some research and found my way here about a year ago... finally made my first order this past week...  Never leaving now!

I'm on reddit too. Is it safe to comment on /r/silkroad with your main account, without an anonymous IP you think? I'd be too paranoid that I'd get the wrong people's attention haha.

I think that if you are using that website without a vpn you should be careful, there are tons of people and companies that would love to have your data.

This was funny...funnier still: I only recently figured out that I would remain a newbie until 50 posts.

I was trying to figure out why I couldn't post until I saw "Newbies may only post in this board" message! I found it odd because when I first signed up for the forum I don't think they had the restriction.
