Take A Trip Down The Revamped Silk Road Website

By    August 8, 2012 2:00 pm     Posted in Lifestyle, Smoke, WTF   Wyatt g+ page

I know that a bunch of Silk Road users are more than a little peeved by all the press that the online drug shop has been getting, but at this point, everyone who cares about it has learned about it by now. So suck it, I’m going to talk about it. Not only am I going to give you a heads-up on why the changes they’ve made are for the better, I’m going to give you step-by-step instruction guide on how to access the site.

For obvious reasons, the man behind the site (dubiously known as Dread Pirate Roberts) doesn’t want you or anyone else on the site to be found. For that reason, Silk Road requires you to connect to the website by using Tor (download here) and only Tor. Essentially, the private browser creates a series of networks that you connect through (similar to a VPN), making you as invisible as it gets in the online world.

Once you’ve succesfully downloaded Tor, a new browser window should open up (called TorBrowser). Now you need to connect to the site’s URL, something that we haven’t showed you yet. That’s because it’s really just a series of numbers and something that’s changed a few times in the past. At the moment, this is the current URL. Once you access the site (it’ll take a little longer than your normal non-drug-selling page), you’ll need to create a password, username, and PIN number. Taking a page from the DailyAnarchist’s advice, I would suggest creating a new username you’ve never used before.

After it goes through, you’ll be taken to Silk Road’s new web page. What’s new about it? Well for one thing they no longer sell guns. True, Silk Road proper stopped selling guns on it’s site a little while ago when they created The Armory but even that site has been removed. Probably a good idea considering how much gun violence has been attributed to buying ammunition online. If you’re “only”  selling drugs, you definitely don’t want to draw unneeded attention to yourself by selling firearms.

As far as looks go, Dead Pirate Robert has updated the page so that SR now only looks like something from the 20th century, not the 19th century. At the end of the day, though, who cares? They’re still selling what you’re looking for and as long as the seller “feedback” continues to function successfully, the site will work.

Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, you’re going to want to pay for it. Since using your mom’s credit card probably isn’t a good idea here, you’ll head to Bitcoin to sign up for their “money.” The site that calls itself “P2P Digital Currency” is actually super easy to use and sign up for. I’m not sure exactly how you’d extract bitcoins for real money, but all you’re concerned with (as a buyer) is trading over your Bitcoins for drugs or whatever else you want to buy.

Now that you know how to use, access, and browse the site, I’ll let you go have fun. Remember, I’m not suggesting that you actually get anything off of the site, I’m simply showing you what it is and how to access it. Learning about the dark corners of the internet is always kind of fun.

      Is the silk road website down? I cannot connect to it via Tor and was curious if you knew of a working URL to get there?

        I'm glad your both having the same problem. It's now been a few days and I haven't had any success! I even uninstalled and reinstalled the Tor browser and can't access silkroad.

        ive been trying for two days and still no luck. All i keep getting is a page that says my connection keeps timing out, or problem loading page. Ive read this happens before, and ive tried every little trick on the net to speed up TOR but no success getting on SR. Any one out there got any suggestions?

      Thankfully I ordered and and got stuff quickly. The issue is this is twice in a weeks period it has gone down for 2 days. last time it finally loaded and said they were under maint. Now I am not getting that message. Normally when things like this happen it is because of a server issue but they don't even have a "Site under maint" page up. Lets hope nothing bad has happened because we know how important SR is.

      Yep, just maintenance. Keeping the MAN a few steps behind. Imagine all they had leading up to being close to cracking the code? Ha Ha Ha !! – Have patience. This time tomorrow, everything will be back to normal, except the noobs that whined about it on public forums like this. There will be a new address too. Those they trust will get it. This means no one under 30 ! ! !

      Don't worry Hopeful, nothing bad happened coz I'm logged in right now. Login screen a bit buggy, or perhaps it's my slow network. Right URL is http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home as above and nobody should have trouble starting a new account. If anyone is having trouble loading the page it's probably the high amount of users generated by recent media interest; don't give up just try again later. The bitcoins are the hard part. And PGP. And reputable sellers. That's pretty much it. There is no new address, at least not yet. Good luck with it.
