Dream vs. Olympus: the communities general consensus.

Been on various DNM's the past year or so (Zion, WSM, Dream) and have considered making the switch to Olympus. I really like the layout of the market as well as how active the staff is on the sub, but Dream has had a proven track history and has been good to me.

Nonetheless, Speedstepper's lack of communication gives me an eerie feeling and tbh I think there are a lot of feds on dream posing as vendors with fuck tons of padded feedback to make themselves look legit. That's why I always do a quick search on the sub and forums to see how people's past experiences have been. If a vendor has 1,500+ transactions and a 4.97 star rating, but no mentions on the sub, I'm going to pass on that one.

Anyway, I just wanted to see what everybody's general feelings are towards Olympus, because I'm seriously thinking about making the switch. Not as many vendors as dream on olympus right now, but I think that will change with time, especially with them now being added to the superlist (congrats btw, Olympus.)

5 years is a long long time for a DNM. That's all I'm saying.

Speedstepper's lack of communication

The dude's busy. The CEO of Coca-Cola doesn't have time for you and me either.

a lot of feds on dream posing as vendors

This is just tin-foil-hat territory. LE isn't likely sitting around trying to collect address on buyers, particularly small ones. The LE guys on markets are posing as buyers and trying to pin-point the originating areas of vendors.

Oh, and sorry if this comes off snooty...but it's just 'consensus.' A consensus is general in nature.

At this point I’m tired of dream for various reasons. Scammers, missing btc from my wallet and no response from admin about any problem I’ve ever had. If a vendor was on both sites I will buy through Olympus.

dream is the fucking shit imo as long as people are verifying mirros/ and pgp proof of ownership for deposit addresses and encrypting sensitive info locally i never had one issue on DREAM, as far as speedstepper lack of communication who the fuck cares his market is time tested and the only survivng one to have any clout in this community, the only other market i believe in is libertas but they still have a way to go for community acceptance imo

Have you ever heard the saying "if you do something right it's like you haven't done anything at all?" Often vendors with high sales/ratings aren't mentioned on the sub because they have a solid long-term customer base. I.E. no one getting on the sub asking how to contact them when markets are down. YMMV of course.

Haven't tried Olympus. Ill jump on the bandwagon and say Dream is still pretty reliable, but I'd nonetheless be wary of making any large wallet deposits without checking the subs for reports of deposit bugs.
