Silk Road Revisited

Ross rewrote the code to stop his bitcoins from disappearing every time there was a new purchase. He reopened Silk Road on June 17, but disabled the possibility for any new registrations This gave him time to fix the other mistakes in his programming and coding Existing members of Silk Road took advantage and sold their memberships off at different forums They went to Reddit, 4chan, and Bitcoin talk and offered their Silk Road seller accounts to whoever bid the most On June 26, Ross reopened registrations on Silk Road, but he made a change The seller accounts were now put up for auction - one every 48 hours to the highest bidder.
