'Silk Road Reloaded' Just Launched on a Network More Secret than Tor * 2
    #21106049 - 01/12/15 06:32 AM (9 years, 4 months ago)

source

A new anonymous online drug market has emerged, but instead of using the now infamous Tor network, it uses the little known "I2P" alternative.

"Silk Road Reload​ed" launched today, and is only accessible by downloading the special I2P software, or by configuring your computer in a certain way to connect to I2P web pages, called 'eepsites', and which end in the suffix .i2p.

It's not just the switch to I2P that marks a change. Whereas the original Silk Road and its successor Silk Road 2 exclusively accepted Bitcoin, Silk Road Reloaded will process transactions in other cryptocurrencies by converting them into Bitcoin through the site's built in wallet. They include Anoncoin, which, as the name suggests, is the more anonymity focused cousin of Bitcoin. Darkcoin is also listed, which last November became an accep​table form of currency on Nucleas, a Tor marketplace. You can also use Dogecoin, the meme-inspired altcoin, as well as the more established Litecoin. In all, eight different altcoins are accepted, with others slated to join soon. The administrators say on the site that they are open to suggestions on other coins to use, and will consider it if you contact them.

The administrators of online markets have typically made their money by taking a small slice of the profits from those selling drugs on their site. Silk Road Reloaded does the same, but it will also take a 1 percent conversion fee whenever an altcoin is converted into Bitcoin on the site.

“All functions are completely enabled and fully functional,” says a message on the site, posted today. “Sample data is being removed. Current vendor(s) your products will show shortly. Thank you all for making the site launch a success!”

At the time of writing, it appears that the listings are placeholders, with no concrete details on what it actually being sold. These have been listed by 'SysAdmin', and judging by the announcement on the site, this will change shortly, being replaced by real products.

The catalog lists many of the things we've come to expect from an online marketplace, including drugs, counterfeit money and IDs, hacking tools, and fake clothing. Notably absent are weapons and stolen credit card details, something which some Tor sites, such as Evolution, now sell in abundance.

This lack of weapons and stolen data may be due to the site owner's apparent political beliefs: it appears that the site owners subscribe to the same libertarian motivations that inspired the original Silk Road. “Who are we? Ones who care about true freedom, self-ownership and self-possesion. Yes believe it or not you own yourself,” the site reads.

“What exactly does this mean? Many things but, first and foremost that we nor anyone else has the right/privilege to tell you what to do with your person, on any level except/unless you cause harm to someone's property/person.”

“We created this to allow the most basic of human activities to occur unimpeded, that being trade. It's not only a major disruption of progress but, it is an interference to control someone to the degree that their free will is compromised. We may not be able to stop this but, we certainly won't contribute to it.

“Enjoy the site.”

Naturally, Silk Road Reloaded has its own forum as well. At the moment, there isn't a single posting, but it seems to function normally.

I contacted the owners of the site using the inbuilt messaging system, but haven't yet received a reply. I wanted to ask why they had made the switch to I2P from Tor. To speculate, the recent tide in security worries about Tor may have contributed to this move; even if those worries were ultimately unjustified and Tor remains robust.

Although both Tor and I2P are anonymity networks, there are some key differences. One of those differences is the greater degree of decentralisation that I2P offers.

“Tor takes the directory-based approach - providing a centralized point to manage the overall 'view' of the network, as well as gather and report statistics, as opposed to I2P's distributed netwo​rk database and peer selection,” according to the I2P website. Whereas Tor relies on a set of relays run by volunteers, and then people use their computer to connect to the network, I2P takes a peer-to-peer approach, and makes every user's computer a node in the network itself. “Essentially all peers participate in routing for others,” the I2P​ site reads.

Other differences pointed out on the I2P site include that Tor is much more well funded, originating as a project by the US Naval Research Laboratory and continues to ​receive the bulk of its support from the US government. Tor is large enough to have adapted to denial-of-service attempts—cyberattacks that attempt to overwhelm it with simulated traffic—and generally has a much larger user-base and lively community. While Tor’s developers are open about their involvement in the project, and use their real names, I2P developers are known only by pse​udonyms.

The “about” section of the I2P website reads very similarly to that of the Tor Project's. “I2P is used by many people who care about their privacy,” the site reads, “activists, oppressed people, journalists and whistelblowers, as well as the average person.”

Silk Road Reloaded is an important development in the world of online drug trading. Even if it doesn't take off quite just yet, or even falls apart completely, it shows that people are willing to explore alternatives to the established formula of Tor and Bitcoin. In what must be worrying for law enforcement agencies, who recently boasted about taking down hundreds of deep web sites, Silk Road Reloaded shows that drug markets are far from dead. Instead, they are becoming more plentiful, and more diverse.​

I2p isn't more secure or secret and this site is probably going to run away with the money.  There are tons of sites already that took srs place.

Yeah whatever it's run by scumbags again and this "article" looks like an ad. Glad I am an adult who doesn't need this crap to get any drug i want. People who need this shit are losers with no friends.

Great there goes the I2P markets :facepalm: It was only time till a reporter stumbled upon one of the markets and cast it out into the public eye for everyone to learn about. Is nothing safe these days ? At least I2P has a steeper learning curve then using a tor bundle.

That's why i2p will never get as big as tor.  That and the lack of funding.  TMP was best site so far and no one used it cause it was too complicated.  Size makes sites, not security.

Dude, you live in some of the most fertile ground in the country to obtain everything. Everything. I tried for years, and years, but never did I find acid. I'd still be looking. Any of the shrooms I bought before coul't even hold a candle to the ones i found on there. I would grow them myself but I'm not comfortable doing it where I am now. Have you ever found DOM on the street? These sites have probably saved lives to be honest, just think of all the people who have gotten acid from there and would have got sold nbome on the street? Or PMMA instead of MDMA? Or heroin as coke? Sure, people get ripped off on there too but those are only the idiots dumb enough to not use an unreliable/new vendor. Friends is one thing but there's only so much you can do when the stuff is simply not around. Not all of us have a menu of drugs around, let alone top quality. The great thing about the competition online is that the reliable vendors need quality to stay relevant.

Edit - SR is for chumps though.

I'd be very wary of using this site. Consider anything Silk Road to be a honeypot at this point. There's been some damaging reports that of come out relative to the undercovers and whatnot. I do not advise the use of this site.

Difficulty has more to do with reading abillity and ability to precisely follow directions. You need no knowledge of chemistry whatsoever, you just need to understand some basic principles as simple in concept as: water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C. Otherwise all published syntheses of organic and inorganic compounds can be reproduced successfully by pretty nearly anyone with at least average intelligence. Problems always have to do with availability of materials, not esoteric knowledge.

I stopped using SR after shit went down the first time.  Anyone using SR may as well just expect to be ripped off at some point. In my post I was referring to black markets in general, I should have been more specific.

Last time I was on there it didn't have much for listings. That was quite a while ago though.

QFT

definitely a honey pot. Anyone wonder why it is the first market to be written in the media on i2p right after Sr bust? This story looks more like an advertisement than anything.

3rd eye did you think before you threw that out? I haven't used any of the sites personally, but I definitely support them. For years I grew up in a major metro city where psychedelics were very hard to be found. Eventually I ran into bulk e tabs for cheap but shit back around then we were reliant on pillreport. Cocaine was everywhere, so was meth. I managed to find mushrooms once and LSD never.

Then you actually do meet people who have these things. With mushrooms it was always someone who knew someone. Despite being willing to pay liberally they were very hard to come up with more than once a year. That's how I ended up on the shroomery. Still took me years to find a reliable source for LSD. There's a lot of bait n switch in LSD. Also a bit like cocaine every single person wants to step on it and charge more. Then there's the dark folks... you know the fuckers. There's probably a few on this board... people who sell RCs as other drugs. Out of ignorance or intent it's all bad.

From what I hear the majority of dark market shoppers are pretty vocal if they receive good or poor service. I'm sure there's local college kids that bought local and will get sick from fake drugs and just chock it up to being really high on molly. There's ignorance/deceit in the chain of command. Not to say it doesn't exist in dark market but I don't think it continues as long as it does in the real world.

my3rdeye is just one of those guys who likes to brag what great real world connects he has every time dark net is mentioned. Don't mind him. It's not like you'll ever actually see him posting in "Recent LSD Prints."

I knew I had made it when I had 596 friends on Facebook and a connect for every drug I ever wanted...  I used to have tons of connects, but as you get older people quit selling and connections get lost.  DNMs appeal to lots of people, not only lists with no friends.

Anyone who includes the words "silk road" in their title name is just asking for trouble, along with the users that jump aboard.

When will people learn? :shrug:
