DESCRIPTION:Netcraft will showcase the problems operators of Dark Markets

   \nSilk Road is estimated to have transacted $1.2bn in illegal drugs\, ne
 tting Bitcoin worth $80M in commissions for the owner. Dread Pirate Robert
 s’ anonymity would have been under 24/7 attack\, from thieves wishing to
  steal his bitcoin\, from many countries’ law enforcement operatives wis
 hing to lock him up and throw away the key\, and from gangsters wishing to
  find him and force him to give up his Bitcoin. One small mistake could le
 ad to the loss of his newfound wealth\, permanent incarceration\, or a tor
 tuous death.\n \nDread Pirate Roberts is believed to have spent six months
  working on Silk Road before first putting it online\, and desperately pre
 served his anonymity for two and half years\, allegedly paying hitmen $750
 K to murder six people in the process.\n \nYour challenge\, after a short 
 tutorial outlining and illustrating the concepts\, is to spend an hour bul
 let-proofing your dark market and then defend it against your peers\, whil
 st discovering the identity of as many of their Hidden Services as you can
 . Netcraft staff will be available to help. Contract assassinations may le
 ad to disqualification.\n \nResources\n \nIf you would like to participate
