Title: "Using Silk Road" (gwern.net) as getting started guide
Post by: cleopatra on February 01, 2012, 10:49 am
I'm about ready to make my first purchase, hopefully in time for this weekend's sale, and have been using this fantastic tutorial

http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road

as my roadmap (in addition to the wiki and forum).  I'm curious, from those of you familiar with Gwern's writeup, whether anything substantial has changed since June 2011 that a new buyer should be aware of.  Thanks!

Surprisingly comprehensive for a clearnet guide. I'm not surprised his article didn't end up getting published.

I only skimmed over it but I don't imagine much has changed.

Like many, many folks...I should have researched more before taking the plunge.  Great article.  I finally got up to speed, but this would have streamlined the process.
