I found DPR's altoid account, but I don't see the silk road advert post dated January 29th, 2011. The earliest post is from February 25th, 2011, and is about running bitcoind on Debian...

I suspect DPR deleted the post (wouldn't you?) and the FBI found it by requesting logs from bitcointalk admins.
Theymos, can you confirm?

Even if he could confirm, he is probably under restriction not to.

What an awesome thread! You guys have a ton of great ideas. Has anyone seen Silk Road yet? It's kind of like an anonymous amazon.com. I don't think they have heroin on there, but they are selling other stuff. They basically use bitcoin and tor to broker anonymous transactions. It's at http://tydgccykixpbu6uz.onion. Those not familiar with Tor can go to silkroad420.wordpress.com for instructions on how to access the .onion site.
Let me know what you guys think

So here we go, first Bitcoin drug store.
We're going into deep water faster than i thought then.
I wonder how long will it take for govs to start investigating Bitcoin.
Yeah that's it. So I guess they didn't need logs, just the indelible quote function. Silly Ross.
