I use it almost everyday, it's even more convenient to search an article in Google Scholar and then download a paper thorough Sci-Hub, than to use Scopus.com or Web of Knowledge's search engine.
Do you get good results? I just tried it out and it most of the articles didn't work. I'm hoping it's just because of a traffic spike.
Really surprised this article makes no mention of Aaron Swartz and his battle with JSTOR.

Do you search by article name or DOI or link? I prefer DOI, because, I guess, it easier for the engine to find a paper. In 95% cases I find a needed paper by DOI.
> the dark web, a part of the Internet often associated with drugs, weapons, and child porn. Indeed, due to journalists perpetuating that meme on and on again. Thanks for strengthening the bad image, Atlantic.
DEAR NSA: THE FACT THAT I RESEARCHED THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET TO KICK MY DOOR DOWN NOW. THANK YOU.

What DOI means?
A digital object identifier (DOI) is a serial code used to uniquely identify objects. The DOI system is particularly used for electronic documents such as journal articles.

To be fair, they do have a thriving market for PayPal accounts and money laundering. DEAR NSA: THE FACT THAT I RESEARCHED THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET TO KICK MY DOOR DOWN NOW. THANK YOU.
The Sci-Hub Tor URL is https://scihub22266oqcxt.onion (source: https://vk.com/sci_hub?w=wall-36928352_5896 ) Image: http://i.imgur.com/xZmDmPY.jpg
You pasted a HTTPS address, but the server doesn't answer to HTTPS (it is somewhat redundant when you use onion services anyway). The correct one is http://scihub22266oqcxt.onion/
Of course for this kind of site that is not so important, but you shouldn't use any kind of site where you log in or enter sensitive information over Tor without HTTPS.

It's not redundant; if someone sets up a malicious exit node they can view all your traffic, unless it is encrypted e.g. by SSL. Of course for this kind of site that is not so important, but you shouldn't use any kind of site where you log in or enter sensitive information over Tor without HTTPS.
HTTPS is actually a bit redundant for .onion URLs, as the hostname is a representation of the host's public key.
