Would anyone buy cigarettes for bitcoin ?

Not that I would buy or sell them - I dont smoke either   

Even if they fell off the back of a truck ?

 

I think that may be more of a problem with Tor than the site.

Maybe P2P in a physical sense?  e.g. send the package to any other peer in the community, and if that peer is the final peer destined to receive the package, they can keep it, otherwise they should update a kind of status and send it out again. ^_^

Just wanted to chip in with my experience with this site, which was very positive.

I ordered LSD tabs from the seller 'psynom' on Silk Road on sunday. I went with him because I found one post on their forums stating the guy was legit. He advertised shipping from EU.

So I place the order, no order confirmation or indication that the order was really completed (as someone already mentioned - silk road is 'working on it' I hear).

The next day I get a message on the site that the tabs have been shipped. After this I can see my order as an active order from the 'messages' screen, and get options to confirm whether the delivery took place.

On Friday, I got the tabs. They were shipped in a regular envelope, quite innocent-looking. Inside was a hardcover greeting card, inside which the tabs were taped in plastic. The envelope was indeed mailed from a core EU country. Without giving specifics, 5 days was surprisingly fast for the postal service here.


So, armed with our acid tabs, me and some friends tried it out yesterday. It was LSD alright. I've only tripped once before, that dosage was not very strong (I just felt a borderline effect from 1 tab that time, though it was pleasant). This one was a bit stronger, but I still wound up taking 4 tabs over a 4 hour period. Onset started about 45 minutes after taking the hit.

I won't describe my experience here in any more detail (unless someone really wants to know, I suppose...), but suffice to say I had one of the best times of my life.


In conclusion, silk road is the victory of decentralised cipherpunk thinking over traditional methods of blocking trade. If being able to buy drugs anonymously over the internet isn't a killer app for bitcoin, I don't know what is. I was already watching the bitcoin project for some time, but through this, I have spread bitcoin to several friends who wouldn't otherwise have likely been exposed to bitcoin - and I'm pretty sure they'll be buying some in the future.

Questions for silkroad:

1. Do you truecrypt your server's hard drives ?
2. Do your sellers support GPS GeoCaching ?

EDIT:
And finally:

How do you know that one of the sellers is not a FBI/CIA/Interpol/MiB/Whatever agent ?
Do you verify these people yourself ?

only a matter of time some homicidal maniac sends you lsd laced with some lethal chemical

fool

And it wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened either: http://www.slate.com/id/2245188/

This is bullshit.  They are still poisoning alcohol sold without taxation or licensing with methanol.  They're from the government, and they're there to help.
