Hello, if the sites web address changes in the future, how will I find the new address? I have been reading that Silk roads frequently changes the web address and if this happens I want to be notified in case there is a new web address ASAP!!! This way i will always have access to the site!!!
Please advise anyone/Silk roads moderators!!!!

seems nobody knows

SR doesn't change its address.
If that would happen, you can come here, to the forums.
Or you could go to the HiddenWiki (http://kpvz7ki2v5agwt35.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) but beware that there SR address is frequently changed by scammers.

I wouldn't trust the Hidden Wiki at all... right now the real Silk Road is listed as a phisher site.

...I have been reading that Silk roads frequently changes the web address...
Without knowing where you're reading that I'd guess that whoever is saying/writing it is:
a)refering to SR listing(s) on HiddenWiki being changed by phishing scammers, or
b)refering to SR changing its Bitcoin receiving addresses.
The first is a sad fact of life nowadays; *never* rely on HW to direct you to the real SR. (Instead, make a shortcut or write down the real address.) The second is true (and is a Very Good ThingĀ®) but has nothing to do with SR's .onion address.

why dont u just do what u done before to get the address. never changed once since ive been on. sounds a bit leo to me to ask how to find a address ,if it changes despite the fact you have already found it in the past.

The first place I entered the Silk Road from was the link on the Silk Road Wikipedia entry, however I have never purchased anything to find out if that address is from phishers.

So far I've used the one from Wikipedia (the URL ending in "ulzz.onion") and haven't had any issues (meaning my account is still my own). I've made a purchase from that URL and had no issue. So, from what I can tell, that's the only legit URL.
Has anyone else been using anything different?
