I agree with the sentiment.

2.0, it's not the same site.

A bunch of other sites got taken down as well. New ones will spring up and the cycle will continue until the end of time.

Im sure more places will spring up. Considering that they were on the 2.0 version of the site they were kinda destined to eventually have to move to a 3.0 version. Its just going to be a lot of cat and mouse on the deepweb from now on. Sites getting shut down and popping back up in a new reincarnation.

Still interested to see where it goes though.
tl;dr: idealism will not un-rape you.

It was what, 414 sites that got taken down. I'm really fucking concerned that they were got through a flaw in the cryptography. I know a lot of the experts are saying that that's not something to be worried about, but that's a lot of sites to axe all at once.
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.

wait what, recently? or is that a running total?

because if it's the latter, a LOT of them are probably being counted separately even though they were all on Freedom Hosting.

What is Silk Road?
My will, as it were.
To Zek, get over the fucking kittens man.

To RisiR, you'll always be my favourite hater.

To -SpectraL, you're one of the only people here who can insult Arnox without ramming it down his throat.

To Arnox, fuck you.

*414 domains, not sites. onion domains can be generated for free, so I'm not sure how many actual hidden services were involved.

I've been looking for a list of the services and domains hit, but it doesn't look as though any of the organisations involved have posted them.

closest thing I could find; I think 27 sites have been confirmed so far.

Interesting comments from the (former) operator of Doxbin:

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-November/007731.html

One hypothesis is that LE used DoS attacks to get the hidden service on a circuit of compromised nodes, then were able to deanonymize it somehow (traffic confirmation?). Can't quite wrap my head around this right now but I'll look into it more thoroughly after some rest.
