“To those who are mourning the loss of Silk Road you have little to fear. From a quick scout around I’ve counted at least 5 publicly stated projects with the said aim of becoming ‘Silk Road 2.0’ and many more gathering info and building alliances. And this is what Law Enforcement is now parading as a victory? Over two years of investigation, millions of dollars spent so a couple of armchair programmers can build it again in a few days while in the meantime vendors simply move to other sites. To make it easier there is already a functioning open-source project know as BitWasp which can simply be downloaded and installed on an onion web server and the next SilkRoad is (almost) ready to go.”
