New Silkroad: now in i2p

In the footsteps of the infamous Silk Road store, where you could buy anything, from funny mushrooms to jewelry (but about 70% of the goods were still drugs), a new store opened. The closure of Silk Road at the end of 2013 created a vacuum where various competitors were not slow to rush. However, the new store, which calls itself "Silk Road Reloaded", is different from them. About him tells the material from the resource Motherboard.

First of all, instead of the hidden service Tor store uses technology i2p . Unlike Tor, whose main task is to work as anonymizing proxy, the i2p network is a system completely hidden from the external Internet, which uses the Internet only as a means of transport. The network has a more distributed character than Tor - for example, it does not have any dedicated servers. Readers using this network can browse the virtual market located at silkroadreloaded.i2p

In addition to i2p, the difference of the new store is to use not only bitcoin, but also various other digital cryptocurrencies: Anoncoin (currency with anonymity emphasis), Darkcoin (also containing the privacy of transactions), Dogecoin (currency that started as a joke, but as a result unwind ), Litecoin (by far the most popular of the Bitcoin forks). In total, the store accepts 8 different types of currencies, which are automatically converted into Bitcoin by the store.

Store owners earn by taking a percentage of transactions and a percentage of conversion between currencies. Apparently, the store does not welcome the sale of weapons and stolen items. From the store's manifesto: “Who are we? We are the ones who care about real freedom, and that a person can be the master of himself. What does it mean? First of all, no one has the right to tell you what to do with yourself and your life, except when you can harm others. We have created this place in order to make possible the basic occupation of a person - trade. To interfere in the affairs of others and limit the will of people means to stand in the way of progress. We cannot stop this process, but we can not participate in it. ”
