Title: How do you guys remember the silk road URL?
Post by: MaoZedong on January 20, 2013, 10:51 pm
Hey guys, I have been seeing a lot of posts recently that are like "yeah I always get the URL off blahblah website" and I think that this is just stupid because it leaves the door open for phishermen of all kinds.
I personally just remember 3 simple things and you should too!
1.silkroad
2.vb5
3.piz3r
seriously type it out a few times so you get in the muscle memory of it and tada! you have crushed the phishers.

Some people click the link in a vendor's signature, some people just google sillkroad URL, some people use the hidden wiki, its all about balancing the risks and benefits.

Secondly, if you are one of the smart ones who can remember vb5piz3r, how do you remember the forum URL?
dkn255hz262pmii seems a tad more difficult.
 I have this saved as I usually visit it before SR and it loads faster so I would get annoyed always clicking the link from the home page of SR.

Thanks and good luck getting your post counts up  :)

I have this problem, I remember the SR url fine. But can't remember the forum, so I have to log in to SR first and then click the forum link. I suggested that there should be a link to the forum on the login page of SR to make it a bit faster, but people seemed to think it was a pointless idea: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=37534.msg424292#msg424292

I remember it pretty similar to you.

1. silkroad
2. vb5
3. piz
4. 3r

Only took me a handful of times before I got it memorized.

i used to get it off the wiki page but now they took it down

i now save the link in bookmarks but occasionally i need a new tor update so that would be gone after i do.

now i have it saved on my dashboard on a note (since i have a mac)

I actually wrote a bunch of .onion links on the back of a bunch of Magic the Gathering cards with black sharpie and keep them in a deck box labled "LULZ"

i keep it stashed in an old klonopin bottle on a ratty napkin that says vb5piz3r, but that's just in case my memory shits the bed again (from all the benzos), I actually have the son of a bitch lodged deep in my memory now. i break it down like this... sr, vb5, piz3r.  simple enough no matter how gowed i get.

There's a wikipedia page all about Silk Road, and it also has the URL on the page. I get it off there, then bookmark it in my tor browser. Pretty simples.

Memorizing it is best, but I suppose you could encrypt a text file with a bunch of useful links / info that you don't want to forget.

Memorized it. Not too complicated by .onion standards.

I do not want this site bookmarked. And there's a link to the forums at the bottom of every SR page, so I don't have to memorize that one.

Typically, bookmarking it or writing the url down is bad because there is then proof of a link between you and SR.

Just bookmark it in your TorBrowser.

Then don't forget to back-up your bookmarks before upgrading your Tor Browser Bundle. If you don't, you'll lose them.

don't bookmark it jeez...
I have a mnemonic:

silkroad, vibes (vb5), pisser (piz3r)

of course if you type it in several times a day you'll memorize it pretty fast
