Oops, somebody forgot their whois privacy when they renewed their domain.

I hope that's not the owner's real info...

I seriously doubt the owner of the visable website is directly connected to whoever runs the Silk Road hidden service on Tor.

Oops, it gets worse. Whoever bought the visible website is hosting it with a US company that is reselling server4you.de services. If someone was silly enough to put the Tor hidden service on that server, thinking it safe since it isn't in the US, they're in for a rude awakening when the US company they're paying the bill to grabs the server's data and hands it over to the FBI. I sincerely hope that whoever is running the show didn't make a mistake like that.

Hi everyone, glad to see this thread is remaining popular. Just to address the quote above in case it concerns anyone, the portal page and tor site are completely separate and neither can be traced back to any physical persons at Silk Road in any conceivable way. The portal page was an afterthought to get more traffic to the site, but did its job too well, over-exposing Silk Road. We will reopen it when we feel like the site is ready for that kind of exposure.

On another note, I would like to bring this thread back to the "Feedback requested" part of the title. I am especially interested in hearing from anyone with alot of experience in network security about how to improve the anonymity of the site beyond running it as a tor hidden service. How would YOU do it? What are some worse case scenarios?

Thanks everyone for your support

Everyday I look at your website wanting to order something... and everyday I close the browser thinking "no, too risky!"
Is there a discrete way of telling to which country products have been shipped successfully?

Maybe there could be some sort of anonymous country-related feedbacks... dunno
