Here you go, she posted it herself
It's a shame you felt nervous, I think you did well regardless, but I do wonder how you would have done if you felt relaxed. I wonder if I could spin that into using a small dose of something to loosen up as HR because more people would learn more? ;)
 
If ya ask me I thought tronica was a cop out in that interview. She had an opertunity to point out the positives of sr instead she focused on the negatives. I don't know why every bodies praising her and nobody called her out on ot.
 
i think she did a good job under the circumstances. she's putting herself out there and isn't afraid to hide herself here on bl without exposing it for what it's construed to be by "those people".

the segment was clearly edited for commercial television.

i'd have had as big a grin as she did as well:D
 
It's not the ceasing of anxiety that reduces harm, it's what's said in the state of mind that is free of anxiety that reduces the harm others might have made for themselves
Yanker that is a wanker comment. Every news station is talking about how anonymous it is and the cops just spoke about how they have no real way to stop it, the average ignoramus derives from that information 'oh hey I can now get illegal stuff with no legal consequences'
The media doesn't need more downplaying of the risks. The truth is, there are still ways to get caught, especially if you don't know what you're doing.
I think it's good that she addressed actually getting the substance in a physical way. It would have been good if she spoke about/they showed the legal consequences of getting caught importing illegal substances as opposed to buying them on the street, but hey, I don't care what people know or don't know about SR. If they're gonna use it blindly thinking everything's willy nilly I have no sympathy if they get caught and therefore punished. I'm against the drug laws we have, but I'm also against arrogance and stupidity.
 
Australian cops tout arrest of man for Bitcoin drug deal

Two Australian law enforcement agencies are crowing about their arrest of a man who attempted to import illicit drugs into Australia using the online drug marketplace Silk Road. In a press release brought to our attention by CSO, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service warn Australians that users of Silk Road and services like it "will not always remain anonymous and when caught, they will be prosecuted."

Silk Road uses two cryptographic technologies to shield itself from law enforcement scrutiny. The site is only available on Tor, the cryptographic network that obfuscates the source and destination of Internet traffic. And payments are only accepted using Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency whose peer-to-peer design makes it difficult for governments to regulate or monitor.

“Criminals are attempting to exploit the international mail system through online networks, but the recent arrest demonstrates that we are one step ahead of them," said AFP official Peter Sykora. “The AFP will continue to identify, investigate and prosecute individuals or groups importing narcotics into Australia, including via illicit e-commerce platforms such as Silk Road."

The press release doesn't explain how Australian officials caught the suspect, who "was charged with 10 offenses relating to the importation, trafficking and possession of narcotics and prohibited weapons." While the government tries to give the impression that it is monitoring transactions on Silk Road itself, it's possible it caught the suspect through more traditional means.

The incident highlights Bitcoin's role as the currency of choice for activities at the fringes of society. Last month we noted that in addition to its use in drug markets, Bitcoin has also proven a popular currency for pornography and gambling.

Highly, highly possible. If they had found a way of monitoring SR itself then I think they'd catch more than one person.
 
I've removed a lot of trolling, off topic and posts referring to off topic posts.

Please keep this on track.

Joking around about taking ridiculous doses of drugs isn't really appropriate here, you never know who could be reading this and thinking it's serious.
 
Anyone else having troubles getting into SR? Tor is connected, other .onion sites work but SR is unable to connect for some reason, it's been like it all day. Not even the forums load.

It's normal for it to go down for a few hours every now and again it isn't exactly "stable".

Amazing concept I hope Silk-road has a long and prosperous life. I also love that Tor was originally designed by the U.S Navy the irony is balls out funny!
 
It does tend to go down some days for unknown reasons although I do find that if your on the site for long periods of time it does tend to time out.

It looks like ordering ANYTHING from Holland is now a huge risk for Aussies especially with lots of orders not arriving.

Thanks again Silk Road for fucking things up.
