After
Oink went away, new tracker sites started up to fill the void, kind of like a hydra. Because of open source tracker software, new heads grew quickly. Do you think there's anything you can do, or have you already done things, to facilitate the creation of new hydra heads in the unfortunate case that the authorities shut down Silk Road?
This concept (many hydra heads) is known as Netwar.
http://g7pz322wcy6jnn4r.onion/opensource/polyfront/netwar.htmlalso check the wikipedia article and maybe read about the RAND groups analysis of it. Netwar is giving power to the people over the hierarchy organization of the state.
The best thing the drug scene can do is embrace Netwar and take it to its pinnacle. We need to remove all the centralization, many hydra heads with every node its own command and control is a vast improvement over the statist organizational models, but full decentralization is what we must aim for. There should be no single point of compromise, or any centralization at all. We need to become a fully decentralized all channel network, with the infrastructure not being run by silk road or open source but rather being run by every node of the network, with each node also being its own command and control. We are currently and have been for some time developing the technology required for this to happen.
