With Alphabay down it's easy to talk bad stuff about it, but I mean phishing's been an obvious problem since day one. Unfortunately I didn't realize (or I think anybody for that matter) how big of a problem this actually was and still is. Did you ever lose money to phishers?
(UPDATE)
I received an encrypted message, looks like I messed up one thing in the original story lol.. the mate didn't make $1M revenue. One million POUNDS.. even more ;)

i think this influences bitcoin significantly.....people underestimate the black market....the amount of traffic on alpha was insane

@twigg i completly agree people trade USD/GBP/EUR to bitcoin to buy off the markets so it has a massive influence on the value. However im not sure what to think, if you followed my logiic of people buy bitcoin to by drugs then you would think that the price would drop as alpha and hansa are now down. why do you think it is still on the rise?

I dont think the markets going down did THAT much damage, but it probably did have a little bit of a noticable effect

Cool! I watched your videos when I was writing my detailed technical report about Hansa, it should be the best and most thorough there is, I'm serious :)
You can read why user were caught, TL;DR they were lazy and used inhouse functions of Hanza instead of PGP. You seem to be quite informed, I'd be very happy to discuss blockchain (dark) markets before I'll post about them, what do you think?
I love your lsd sound, reminds me of Moog and Pete Namlook.

think its inherent in the crypto world, but mayb the escrow involved needs to be put on a block chain..this is where the real temptation comes from...when someone has millions in escrowed bitcoin, running seems temping...need to remove that temptation somehow
