Traveling the Silk Road: Non-anonymized datasets (2012-03-04 to 2012-07-23)

Non-anonymized subset of the databases used in the paper "Traveling the Silk Road: A measurement analysis of a large anonymous online marketplace" (Christin, 2013). In this dataset, textual information (item name, description, or feedback text) and handles have *not* been anonymized and are thus available. We don't expect any private identifiers or other PII to be present in the data, which was collected from a publicly available website -- the Silk Road anonymous marketplace -- for a few months in 2012.

For less restricted usage terms, please consider the anonymized version, which is also available without any restrictions. This non-anonymized dataset should only be requested if your project MUST rely on full textual descriptions of items and/or feedback.
