That article is laughable.
Silk road was the height of darkweb trading and that finished in 2013.
I know this to be a fact, I've tried and failed to find a replacement site ever since.
Back in 2012, when Silk road was at its peak, there were less than 10,000 transactions a day.
In 2013, after the demise of Silk road there were around 50,000
Here in 2018 there are upwards of 400,000 transactions a day on the Bitcoin blockchain.
So, they would like us to believe that over 200,000 bitcoin transactions a day are on the dark web. I'm not convinced, not at all. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

Silk Road was the height of dark web trading as it was run by an idealistic young guy who had no criminal history. |

Take-home information:
Quote: | "Storing the information in a blockchain doesn't protect your copyright any more than copyright law already does," commented David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50ft Blockchain.
"Notice how they're marketing it: they state a problem, then say the blockchain can solve it. But there's no mechanism by which the blockchain could do that.
"This doesn't do anything that signing up for Shutterstock or Getty Images wouldn't." |
"Yeah but blockchain, maaaan!"
And also this:
Quote: | Any Bitcoins generated by Kodak KashMiner will be shared between the customer and the business. |
Ah so this is yet another company meddling in pseudo-futurist crypto quackery just to skim profits off anyone who buys into shite like:
Quote: | At Bitcoin's current value, an up-front investment of $4,000 (£2,954) for 24 months of mining could earn a profit of $500 a month, Spotlite's Halston Mikail told the BBC. |

Oh, neat, I didn't realised that you'd done the sums.
What are the right numbers? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Assuming $500 in month 12, what would you earn in months 1 and 24?
