I remember the early days of the Silk Road market. The members posted thoughtful reviews of their orders, sometimes containing lab-tests results of the drugs they'd ordered.

It was a small community whose members looked more like the Hacker News crowds than the meth heads you'd see in the news.

Considering how early in the bitcoin days that SilkRoad came along, it makes sense that it was a more technically-minded crowd to begin with.

Meanwhile the Hacker News community has just flagged this "scandalous" article. How ironic.

[edit]: My bad, now it's back!

yeah that was amazing. it felt like a lot of people on there were also fans of Erowid, which I now realize probably had a lot of the same people submitting experiences
