## Research notes

- By Andy Greenberg. JSON-LD datePublished 2014-11-07T06:00:54-05:00.
- The six-market ranking (Silk Road 2, Agora, Evolution, Pandora, Andromeda, BlueSky) is attributed in the article to a September study by the Digital Citizens Alliance.
- 'Will likely absorb' is the article's forward-looking prediction, not an observation of migration having happened.
