>Crawling through tor already obfuscates your identity to a certain degree, so we don’t really have to do anything other than cycling User-Agent strings to look different from any other client. Why is that necessary, though? If Silk Road has any checks in place that protects against scraping, why are those in place?
WTF. According to a quick calculation 23% of the whole index of today ships from The Netherlands...

You can test it without ingesting it. With hundreds of reviews I'd hope a few people were smart enough to sacrifice some of their MDMA to test it.
> With hundreds of reviews I'd hope a few people were smart enough to sacrifice some of their MDMA to test it. I guess that it depends on how easy it is to test it. If it requires a chemistry degree and a lab I am guessing they won't test even if they are otherwise smart.
Suuuuure ;)

i know this is a dumb question but im new to tor - how does one go about finding the addresses of hidden tor services like silk road? is it just word-of-mouth?
For the most part, yes. You can find directories on Tor (but you have to find the onion for the listings, too). You can get started by searching the clearweb.

I am aware of that, I just wasn't aware that you can just ship that stuff worldwide by mail so easily..
A 99 euro vacuum food saver will get you a long way in sending drugs worldwide. Combine that with some clever packaging and the chances of it getting caught at customs are pretty small.
It's interesting and probably not surprising that the most popular drug on the Silk Road 2.0 (and probably other darknet marketplaces) is MDMA. MDMA is difficult to find in pure forms and impurities can kill you. If you buy MDMA from a vendor with a 4.9/5 rating, you can be reasonably certain you're getting quality product (comparable to old pressed pills you can hear aging ravers wax nostalgic about) at a fair price…
> MDMA is difficult to find in pure forms and impurities can kill you. If you buy MDMA from a vendor with a 4.9/5 rating Could this be selection bias? If you're dead you can't give a bad rating?
The Silk Road (and presumably the darknet markets that followed it) let any user contest the charge and get their money automatically, which they almost certainly would do if they got MDMA that tested badly.
Further, if this happens too many times, the marketplace will just seize the account. Vendor accounts are expensive, so it doesn't make economic sense to sell bad shit.
