You were smart to ask, seriously! That's the right url, you're all good. I recommend memorising it. I always think silkroad very best #5 pizer with onion, but I'm totally insane, AB.

I actually got this mnemonic off the Blue Sky Traders site, before they realized they had an actual business going on and it might be wise to distance themselves from anything having to do with the Internet black market.

Love your play on words fellas, I think I be one of those who need to bookmark it though!
Is the Hidden Wiki usually a phishing scam link for SR?

That's one of the best ways to memorize it.

Bookmarking it is the best idea.. also never ever follow the link from the Hidden Wiki or anywhere else. 9 times out of 10 it's a scam site. You should NEVER have to use your pin to login to SR.

I hope this doesn't sound condescending but it's great to see new roaders not just wanting to protect themselves in the best way, but helping to protect others here. Due to the anonymity and necessarily isolated security precautions we all need to take we can forget that, in many ways, we're in this together. A chain is only as strong and what not.
That said, can I very gently suggest you try not to rely on bookmarking the url. Even if it's encrypted it's an unnecessary piece of evidence that can be used against you. It's pretty paranoid, I know, but the url isn't too difficult to memorise, and then it's one less thing that can be used against you. Everything else Yunalesca stated is very good advice! AB

I am a big fan of running virtual machine on a hidden disk or 2nd passwords at log in screens etc, it so far has seemed to allow myself and a couple friends be rather coy with their book keeping and now book marks. Side note QLD police did confiscate 2 computers with this set up on it in the last 18 months and found no trace of the hidden virtuals.
That said, I am with AB as well, wouldn't bookmark anything that can ruin your reasonable doubt image unless you know it can not be found or connected.

I cant see what the worry should be when bookmarking on tor. As long as you aren't selling/buying in high quantities and are a small time buyer/dealer you should be ok and shouldnt worry about the 5-0 coming to take your stuff and using your laptop as evidence against you. Unless you are looking at some really messed up stuff like cp and other shit you should get busted for I think bookmarking is ok. Unless there is another reason Im not aware of?
