Buyers have to send sellers their mailing addresses. Even assuming they aren't stored for long, a lot of people are fucked.

isn't there an escrow service? if the escrow folks use crypto and silkroad can't see their communication, the buyers should be fine.

if you encrypt your address and messages, its very unlikely they'll be read
