IMPORTANT: New Deposit Addresses

Our infrastructure upgrades are complete, thank you for your patience. We now have much greater flexibility to investigate and resolve slow performance within our Bitcoin mixer.

All accounts now have new deposit addresses. This is an approach we must take both to increase performance of our system, and to improve blockchain anonymity.

If you made a deposit into one of your old addresses before knowing this, your funds are not lost, but expect a delay while staff manually resolves these cases from cold storage. Do not continue to use old deposit addresses. Staff is working on many exciting update and has very limited time. We will not credit any deposits accidentally made into old addresses past Oct 28th.

Always check the addresses listed on your account page before making a deposit.

Stay safe and mix often. Never compromise on your personal anonymity.

Thank you for your patience during the upgrades. Security is our top priority over uptime.

You are Silk Road

Though our enemies may seize our servers, impound our coins, and arrest our friends, they cannot stop you: our people.

You are writing history with every item purchased here.

It is unprecedented for any entity, darknet or clearnet, to completely repay the victims of a Bitcoin hack.

We are sending a clear message of integrity and justice, louder than the slander our oppressors can push into the news. History will prove that we are not criminals, we are revolutionaries.

We do not steal the People's money like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley.
We bail each other out with our own sweat.
We are not puppets of fear or greed.
We do not run like the cowards at MtGox, TorMarket, or Sheep.

Silk Road is not here to scam, we are here to end economic oppression.
Silk Road is not here to promote violence, we are here to end the unjust War on Drugs.
Silk Road is not here to submit to authority, we are here to defend a foundational human right: freedom of choice.

Silk Road is not a marketplace,
Silk Road is a global revolt.

The idea of freedom is immortal.

Full Context

In February, Silk Road suffered a devastating attack which affected over 40% of our monthly active users. No personal information was leaked, but our finances were hurt deeply. Staff is committed to refunding all affected users, and appreciates your dedication during this challenging time for our movement.

For full repayment details, Read Defcon's Latest Announcement in the Community Forums We are very proud that over 83 percent of the hack's victims have already been repaid.

If you had an order in escrow, or account balances as of Feb 13th, be sure to read Defcon's full announcement about the attack, and our plan for moving forward before using the marketplace.
