I heard about it first from listening to NPR-- National Public Radio!
I was listening to it on the drive home from work and heard a news story about this website selling dangerous drugs anonymously. I was like, "F*K YEAH!!!" A little probing online yielded info about bitcoins, and the rest is history.
There's an old thread on the non-newbie forums for this, but I'll bet there are others with interesting stories, and it's more interesting than cheating to get the post count up.
-
Heard about it while just reading tech sites. Either that or while trying to figure out what the hell this TOR thing people were talking about was. Took me a little while to figure out the whole bitcoin thing too. Pretty fun process though, like a puzzle... for drugs!
-
youtube type in dmt and everybody on the videos is like i get my dmt from silkroad.
-
Friends, they felt bad bc I got scammed out a few grand so they introduced me to this site to hopefully end the scamming

it is only the beginning watch out for silk road scammers .
-
I saw some document that Anonymous posted about an attack on a child porn network. They mentioned the Hidden Wiki. The Hidden Wiki obviously sounds like something tremendously cool and obscure, so I looked it up and found SR from that one.
-
Like a lot of people, Gawker did it for me. Don't remember how I ended up on that article though.
-
I heard about it from one of my buddies from church group choir.
-
.........................

mustang just go post in the how many posts left thread or one of the other complete spam threads.
I heard about SR from (I think) one of the technews site articles. Hard to remember though for sure.
-
I first heard of silk road through a Research Chemical discussion forum. Someone was kind enough to share some info. I have yet to place my first order. I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of pgp, bitcoin, shipping/recieving, etc amd also have a little forum presence. Hopefully I will eventually become a vendor.
-
I was at a festival, tripping balls when I got chatting to some random guy. He offered me a dab of some MDMA and he produced the biggest bag of moon rocks I had seen for a while. I asked him how did he get his hands on such fine MDMA...and the rest is history!
-
Heard about it through the grapevine many months back... Probably through a friend who heard about it on the news. I thought "yeah that's not for me" - well I think I changed my mind! ;D
-
The local tv station
-
Hidden wiki but the last time I seen it there was about 5 vendors on the main site and they looked sketchy so I have only recently found it again.
-
I Googled "how to buy drugs through Craiglist" and the first thing that came up was the SR gawker article. That was a GOOD day :)

Read a news article about "this horrible place where you can get any drug delivered through the post", remember thinking "sounds awesome", and here I am.
-
I heard about it through a friend who had already successfully bought stuff from the site.. if I hadn't seen it for my own eyes idk if I'd even know about this forun right now!
-
I was reading on Topix and knew sooner or later I'd stumble on something.....and I did :))))
-
gawker online article
-
/b/. Gawker sucks. Sensationalist media bullshit.
-
I kept hearing mentions of Darknet all over the place and never really looked into it. One day I was reading about wikileaks and it got me interested in Tor. Finally I dove in and swam about, inevitably stumbling upon SR. I love freedom even if it is illegal.!

a metafilter thread.
-
i wanted some drugs, so i googled it
-
I suppose i have to thank my hookup for the past year that ripped me off. I got so frustrated that i was searching google for way to buy on craigslist, then came across a lovely gwaker article and the rest is histroy. I've been dreaming of a site like this for ages.. ;D
-
television and reading newspaper articles on the internet.
-
Heard about it on the streets
-
While I'm not a redditor with an actual account, I read r/drugs and other drug related sub reddits. I don't really participate in discussions but it was there that I was linked to an article. Probably the same gawker article people mentioned. That was over a year ago when i first heard about SR but I hadn't been curious enough to explore all of this until a couple of months ago.
-
Trough .onion sites list.
-
my mom emailed me an article from new york times (thanks mom!)
-
TV
-
Internet article.

Besides from the obvious fake posts I'm surprised to see how easily people found out about this on the internet and this site is still running no problem. Damn these guys are good! I myself was invited by my friends to come crash over by them for a week to trip. I eventually asked how he got a hold of it when he hadn't know where to find any in a while. He eventually told me about this site and he showed me it and now I just can't stop searching. Can't wait to make my first buy! Also he said you have to wait about a month before you can purchase anything. Is that really true or was he just having problems? I really don't want to have to wait a month before I start buying stuff... That's way too long to have to wait to start splurging on all this amazingness.

I found out about it while using TOR and looking for someone to buy acid from. lol It worked like a charm and now I feel more spiritual and at peace:) Thankyou Silk Road:)
-
I went all out and sampled DOC.
My life, as a writer, has been forever changed, a bifurcation of the mind by chance and by substance. Now there are creatures in my attic that wish to steal my soul, and monsters in my basement that attempt to consume my feet from below. Fuck it, I say, and hand me another mirror full of blow.
-
A couple years ago on 4chan.
-
a little voice inside my head told me about it.
-
Recent article in a national newspaper.
Amazed I'd not heard of it before since I've been using Tor and researching drugs online for years.
Ah well, better late than never...
-
Seek and yee shall find
-
Probing around places I probably shouldnt have been
-
I heard from a thread in Reddit. God damn redditors can't keep their mouth shut.

From some random news source while i was hopping around on the internet
-
article on the internet. 8)
-
luv ya avatar uyjulian
-
how im sure it usually happens, through a friend of a friend. i only accessed the DW in search of the SR in the first place. now i pretty much use TOR instead of firefox all the time. obviously avoiding the stupid amount of child porn on the DW
-
One day a friend mentioned something about hearing about the "deep web" so i went and did a little searching around. Found the hidden wiki, and that's where i learnd about SR. I never went on the site until I saw a few videos where people open their SR drugs.
-
Overheard conversation about it on a train, inspired me to get my geek on for the first time in years. Cheap quality drugs and clandestine comms, killer combo.
-
I found out through grass city lol someone mentioned it then i tried going directly to the site and got the p''age cannot be displayed.'' Then i was like i knew that fucker lied lol.. Then i seen a article explaining how to get here and here i am..
-
Surely, he didn't lie about getting here? ;) The page is displayed when you have not yet downloaded tor.
-
In Amsterdam from dealers on the street haha.
-
On a totally unrelated topic of interest. Was in a chat, and I mentioned how shit the weed was around here. He goes "you heard of silk road?". I googled it, read about TOR, and was amazed at what I saw... I mean...I don't even get to pick "strains" here. I'm not even sure how/what different strains do...
-
I actually can't remember. I'm on the internet a lot and I've always been interested in "underground" shit when I was researching anonymity with Tor and VPN's and shit.
-
the devil told me. i told him id take a look. i forgot to report back.
-
I saw a post in a forum somewhere that mentioned it. The post didn't say what Silk Road was, but the poster had a question about using his home address. So, I got to digging and discovered the deepweb. Awesome!
-
Reddit, about a year ago. Could not believe my eyes when I opened up the front page for the first time.
-

Ye, that guy in the first post I read is right, just talking is better than cheating to get the posts up. I just heard through friends. Im a vendor now. I took a break for a while and stayed off but have come back, Ive spent a week wondering why I couldnt post anything, so now I really need these posts. Im trying to find a couple of old buyers. I want to put an advert but reading the first post made me rethink it.
-
anyone interested in pre-ban very strong mephedrone - please visit our vendor site :)

thru an article about bitcoins on gizmodo
-
I think it was while casually reading about TOR about a year ago. I didn't think much of it at the time but what a revelation it has turned out to be.
-
googled for a solution to a problem. didn't think it was real so I left it alone. then I heard from a friend that he had gotten something from here and it got me thinking about it enough to actually sign in and see what it was all about.
-
I asked a friend where he got his mountain of MDMA and he replied, "Online". I thought he was kidding until he brought up the homepage and my jaw hit the floor :D
-
Newspaper article...then I googled.
-
I heard from a great wizard who sent me an article explaining the merits, philosophies, and opportunities and I was fundamentally overjoyed! ahaha. Just diddly-energetified.
-
Through an article from some online magazine.
-
from an IT magazine online. now all I'm doing is busting my ass to get some bitcoins so I can hopefully start buying some stuff. even though the prices on the green stuff are stiff, the variety is incredible!
-
I found SR through one of those online news articles about 1 1/2 years ago and I signed up right away but didn't start using SR until 1 year ago because I was still on parole and didn't want to risk getting locked up again.
-
I heard mention of it on Topix.com whilst looking for suppliers (not a good place to buy that Topix).
Now I am a big boy vendor!

Hi i`m new , i just heard about it today from a friend , and done some researching on the internet , but i`m definitely sceptic at the moment, because i dont know if it that safe there are lots of things here nice to buy ,but i dont know what to think when i will receive them ,does they come with a police arrest as bonus at your home or its that safe in any country just to go to the post office and pick them up :-?,i once buy a phone from china and they asked me what is in the package and i had to show them they do this to everyone at the border post...
-
various outlets on the internet. had a few friends who had tried it successfully for obtaining personal amounts of obscure items. seemed interesting.
-
I heard about it through r/drugs
-
From a friend at the pub, ha ha.
-
DPR wrote a brief summary of it on a bathroom stall at a local venue
-
When I was a fry chef at a seafood restaurant one of the dishwashers told me about it. I didn't believe him..... until I went home that night and spent hours looking around hahahah.
-
A newspaper article as well!
-
I don't remember when, but I was at the after... after... after party and we were talking about things, I mentioned TOR and they mentioned SR. Shortly after that, I got trapped in something I was told was a relationship, but I'm holding that the jury is out on that. In any case, that reduced my personal privacy enough to restrict my avenues of self fulfillment, and I just paid attention to SR for a while but didn't really participate. Now I am free, and I like it here.
-
Back before it was mainstream, I found it on some hack site listing
-
CNN
-
I saw it on the news. It's funny how they labeled SR as being so fucking evil, yet at the same time they were providing free exposure and advertising to the whole freakin' country lol
-
I googled how to buy drugs off the internet to see what would come up.
-
I was drinking and kicking ass in the bar, and someone recommended I come here and buy some valium.
-
It was a tech news website about a year ago or so. I want to say Wired.com, don't think it was Gawker. When I saw it I thought "Brilliant!" but also "Damn!" if I'm reading about it here, its probably too late to get in on the action. A lot of time went by and I decided to give Tor a try, and Silk Road was still going strong. I thought I'd died and gone to doggy heaven.
-
I heard it from a friend while smoking some pot together.
Visited SR for a veeeeery long time escrow, reviews many members... nothing convinced me that it would be real.
It was just too good to be true.
Also getting drugs to my mail was trivial.
-
My buddy
-
On the news on the radio. Found my way here eventually.
-
One of the departed told me. no actually it was on a net article.
-
random kid

This is an interesting one... I learned from a former SR vendor who was venturing out of SR since the stability of Bitcoins was in question. He was trying to establish a customer base on his own. Later, I got an email from an anonymous source, informing he is a scammer. So, I decided to look into it, and here I am.
-
I think Adam Kokesh, but it may have been the DoJ or some jackass senator. I was high ... go figure ;)
-
I heard about it almost a year ago from a friend who works on a cruise ship, He had heard about it from talking to some forgien person who he became friends with, I also thought it was too good to be true even after learning about the escrow, bitcoins etc, I was a member for a while before I came back and decided to take the plunge, :-) what a place , still cant believe it
I laugh when I go to the methadone clinic and I hear people talk about differnt drugs and things (Im from a small rural town where certain drugs are no where) and I hear people tell each other that there is none of this or none of that and they wish they could find some. and How there is NOTHING around lol

Art gallery opening leads to bar leads to discussion of Philip K Dick leads to discussion of drugs leads to mention of Silk Road. Wikipedia links did the rest! Hard work for a tech-phobe but SOOO worth the effort I put in! ;D
-
Reddit topic about the deep web. Was looking for drugs and waguely supposed such a place existed, now I'm excited as a motherfucker.
