Title: Brand newbie, trouble with first purchase. HELP!
Post by: Peeet on January 18, 2013, 06:51 am
So I read up on  Silk Road, decided to give it a go, but for the last day I've been getting this msg:

 We are currently doing server maintenance. Please check back in 6 to 8 hours

Can someone please tell me if I'm being a noob and using the wrong URL or is this legit right now?

If noob, what is the best way to find the current address?

The site your talking about is a phishing site, I've seen it before.

This is the actual silk road URL:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion

Take care to bookmark it so nothing like this happens to you in the future.

Cheers mate

The Tor Network is scary man.  Make sure to check the URL before you write anything on an onion.
