What did coding knowledge did he have to learn before he created silkroad?
why don't you send him a letter and ask him?
A lot. You need to have a heavy background in both cryptography and general security in relation to web development to do what he did

how do i go about this
im not sure, there has to be a way. you'd have to see where he's located and contact the prison website something like this
Pretty much none, half his web server was on stack overflow
like a month of self teaching php and nginx. he had no significant academic or professional programming experience.
he fucked a lot of shit up and hired people to help him but it wasn't enough. the site got hacked and ddos'ed and was leaking his IP for months through the captcha.
overall a case of the general rule that the only people willing to commit crimes are incompetent.

Instead of maybe it's the incompetent ones who get caught rather than only incompetent people committing crime? You're fucking retarded. Kill yourself.

...if you read the arrest warrant, you'd see this was exactly how the fbi was able to locate silk road's servers.
his real identity was found through a google search. back when OpSec was a trendy word to use, people said he had bad OpSec.
These days the grown ups call him a fucking idiot because smart people don't commit crimes.
