@asakite, I saw a screener copy and Mr. Nice is very similar to Blow. Not sure which one is better, they are basically the same story with different people and different drugs.

Got any links to dj sets by mr niceguy? I guess he djs.

@Anonymous: The point of bitcoin is that like physical money, possession is absolute; so if you put "a bitcoin" on a USB memory stick and then bury it in the desert, then that's it... no one can take it away from you, no one can subpoena it from the bank or whatever. But unlike physical money, it can be transacted electronically. So it is sort of a cross between cash and ordinary banking which combines what the creator believed to be the best features of both (although maybe other people disagree about what the best features should be, of course.)

In order to do this, there has to be an irreversible embedding in a trust network, which is what makes the individual bitcoins traceable. But the distributed nature of it means that there is no way to know where that bitcoin is! So, sure, the transaction can be traced to a particular number, but then what? If you keep it someplace stupid, then yes the authorities could find it with a warrant... but the same is true with cash, and as for bank accounts, they don't even need a warrant, they can just ask the bank whose money it is. So there is definitely a new kind of security here, even though the transaction history is entirely public.

What it has to do with marijuana is the fact that most of those young black men motely is talking about are in jail for non-violent drug crimes. Now, I agree that he's making something of an irrelevant correspondence given how many more people there are today compared to 1876, but nevertheless, the fact that we jail more people than any other developed nation and yet let big pharma grow weed says something about what is valued in American structures of power, at the very least.

no way its better than Blow

This forum has still a lot more users than the Silk Road: [link]
400 online at one time, while the Silk Road has "only" 3500 users. If the powers want ammo, they could use that. Or the legal high guide forum. Or craigslist.

Yeah I`m going to buy lsd from some unkknown douche across the world.
But mark is a software developer(cubicle trash), Cultivating hookups and not treating things like a "drug supermarket" is beyond him! ofcourse!

The best part about bitcoin is, honestly, their marketing hype.

Don't get me wrong: it's an interesting experiment in alternative currencies. But it doesn't live up to its hype.

As an example: far from being "untraceable," each bitcoin has a crytologically secure transaction key associate with it, and it can't be repudiated. Imagine a piece of paper currency that maintains the fingerprint of everyone who ever used it, and that's what you have with bitcoin.

The "fingerprint" is associated with the user's public/private key, so it isn't a normal identity per se, but there is nothing stopping a law enforcement agency from getting a court order to examine your computer. And if they find the key on your computer, good luck refuting it!

In essence, everyone using bitcoin has a precise transaction history of every bitcoin.

That doesn't sound very untraceable, does it?

I can't say I like the fact that this little 'secret' is being reported on now by lots of media, but I guess it's okay if you believe that people will do what people do REGARDLESS :)

That aside, I'm sure the 'powers that be' will surely use this as ammo for their arguments to censor/control the internet. Scared moms all over will be begging for an end to this -- but is it possible? Once this ball gets rolling, it's hard to imagine it stopping. I mean look how bit torrents took off -- and the foundation of the architecture, the core of that system makes it VERY difficult for anyone to control.

That said, I love that this BitCoin was developed by libertarian/anarchist-minded folks. Folks who really value privacy and freedom and look down upon your benevolent overlords trying to watch over you and control everything you say, think, ingest, and do.

Let's just hope this takes off because baby this train's now in motion. No telling where it will lead :) Buckle up!!

@james You have to use the anonymizer .TOR (https://www.torproject.org/) to access the website. Then that little link of yours will work ;)

Want!

Silk Road looks like it is down right now. [link]

hey if u wana use those 'trace' amounts of morphine and codeine,just soak the seeds in wate and shake for a few minutes,and drink the fluid.Or just get poppy pods.MMMM poppy tea.:)

sweet:)

i think suboxone is a great drug and should not be controlled as far as im concerned. its abuse potential is low due to the ceiling effect that buprenorphine and nolaxone together bring to the table...

dammm i had a freaking fun trip on space i felt like i was in outer space tripping and the sun looked like it was killing me it was crazy k2 will messs u up :P lol

The reason Adderall XR is in short supply is the DEA. They have a hard cap on the amounts of certain drugs, both the amount that can be produced and the amount that can be imported. All the domestic manufacturers have to work within this upper limit, and have a quota they can't exceed.

Gasoline is used when making cocaine. This story sounds like a hoax.

lime is used to make cocaine active, you cancel it out to make crack, fuel is a medium for more consistent batch since it'll evap. without changing drug characteristics. one of the only ways to turn crack back to cocaine for injecting is with lemon juice, but why do that? this is all just a cheaper way to process the drug, not anything new people, just big chem/pharma making some $ for the processing ingredients. go for the gold!!

FYI- Dennis McKenna's book project achieved the necessary funding. Big thanks to all who contributed!
