it seems a little clunky. I wonder if sr really goes down will everyone migrate there? Jezz I hope not. What do you think?
-
I don't really think SR will be shutting down anytime soon tbh. However... let's just say it did. Something else would crop up, probably owned or formed by DPR and his crew. It's something that they know and have done before so It's only natural that they would do it again. Long live SR!
-
good point, if they made it once they can make it again even better!
-
what is atlantis? maybe i sound retarded now but i dont know what it is.
-
Not I, said the fly.
-
its another site that does the same thing as SR. I looked at it couple of days ago, not as many listings. All I can say is it loaded quick. But SR has been very good to me and I hope it still will for a long time, at least long enough to save $ to buy a condo in Cabo....LOL
-
[CENSORED: scam link]rky4es5q.onion for the curious. I like that it takes litecoins in addition to bitcoins, but I haven't placed an order with anyone yet. There aren't many reviews for products or vendors yet because it is so new, but everything is done in escrow, so it seems worth trying if SR doesn't come back soon.
-
I feel like a trusted place like SR where they won't just run off with your bitcoin is always the best option.
-
I dunno why everyone is so worked up about Atlantis. BMR has been around a lot longer, technically they are the main rival. In-fact, some SR vendors have recently started distributing on BMR, with the promise of returning once all the hoopla calms down.
I had a look at Atlantis. Not fussed either way tbh. Got no reason to give them my trade, so I won't.
SR will endure. I'm sure of it.
-
Yeah it does look 'clunky'. I can't stand the site's design, (aside from lacking any actual passion) it screams 'corporation' to me more than 'hey, this is a safe place to buy your chems'.
I went through some listings, the H is almost the same on both sites, DMT is at a reasonable price, so I guess that's cool.
Competition could be a good thing for anonymous market places. It could potentiate a need for improvement in areas that were previously overlooked as unimportant, like the design.
i seriously hope that not everyone would migrate to that site, but diversity and competition amongst business is a good thing.
-
yes, it's always good to have options. I'd like to look at the other site people are talking about BWS or BWR? does anybody have the link?
-
thanx, i will check it out and see if its any good.

They copied a great deal from SR. Someone shared the link above, but I was under the impression we shouldn't post it. Personally, SR has been GREAT to me. So many trusted vendors and a great community. It has taken me a long time to feel comfortable ordering and trusting this site in general. I see no reason to leave and I hope many of you agree. I'm all for competition, but I prefer to stick with those I trust (which is tough in this business!).
I've had over 50 transactions on SR and spent over $6k. I've only had one order not arrive and was given a 50% refund (came to about $30). I thank this community for a great deal of that success bc so many shared their experiences and of course bc there are some truly good vendors on SR.
Just my opinion of course....As long as SR is here, I'm stayin. 8)

There seems to be something about Atlantis that I cannot warm to. I can't invest. I'm out.
-
yes, I love the road. And there is a lot that a site like 'atlantis' would have to do to truly replace it, even in an outage. Eventually you acquire a familiarity for TOR and the road that you become comfortable with. Needless to say, if I couldn't get H from the road, I would be next to forced to acquire it from another source (preferably with coins) which I would, with little argument, oh well.
i was trying to get H today, except i forgot my pin so my account is locked temporarily, and my wallet is in the process of reindexing (if you keep a bitcoin wallet on an external drive, do not break connection with that drive while the application is running, its not the end of the world, but a huge pain in the ass).
also this dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=151987.0
i'd give a few btc (2.12 is what I both have and am willing to donate) to whoever could put a permanent stop to the recent DDOS attacks on the silk road (by permanent stop I mean pineapples, and by pineapples I mean kill whoever is operating the computers or botnet that the attacks are originating from, pineapples).
-
yeah something smells about that place. dont know what but dont like it.
-
It is a lot faster but probably a lot less traffic. Meh... SR sound best to me still. I wonder if Atlantis is hacking SR :o
-
just looked at the bmr site....somebody selling jagermeister .............that is too funny!!
I bet Coors Lite would be a huge hit also.
-
I looked at both, but I didn't like the atlantis interface (for example, hard to see where things are shipping from), and I don't like the weapons stuff on BMR.
Just happy Silk Road is back online :-)
-
I admit that I looked, I was not very impressed with the selection though
-
Atlantis is like that stuck up hot bitch you went to high school with. Nice to look at, but has no soul or substance. She might give you some attention, but it's only cause she's a filthy golddigger. On the other hand, SR is the cute modest chick thats girlfriend material. Will always be by your side even through the worst of it and even plays with your balls while sucking you off :)
-
… . and I don't like the weapons stuff on BMR.

I'm with you on that. 100%.
The armory was just about winding down here on SR when I joined, and I'm glad it did.
-
I was looking on some listings and then i saw it need to FE
and said fuck it i'm gone

well at least she LOOKS like the hot bitch. maybe shes a filthy slut that everyone'd love, but her mom is a cunt and dresses her like you'd think any yuppy slags child'd be dress'd
by the by, you ever receive any donations?
-
Took a peek around, looked dead to me.
-
I'm not sure when Atlantis first started showing up, but I think it is still very untested and I dont trust it.
YET.
There's no reason another marketplace couldn't be just as great as SR. And that would certainly spread out the attention of Johnny Law, but I'm not comfortable until a community of successful buyers and vendors has been established in the forums over there. The next few months will tell.
-
I signed up a couple weeks before SR went down, and have been watching a vendor selling BHO and edibles build up 17 positive ratings and seems to be offering a really decent product with cheap shipping.
I've also noticed a couple of what appear to be reputable SR vendors selling as well. Which I see no problem with and actually gives me a little more faith in the stated intention of the admin and staff.
That's why I think if Atlantis proves to be on the up and up more people should support the site and welcome having a couple of 'safe sites' to utilize.
That said, I actually found BMR before SR and picked SR (hands down) to make my first purchases, and I'll probably be looking to a trusted vendor here before I start venturing out from the warm fuzziness of SR.
-
I'm glad that SR vendors are open to spreading out their business. 99% of the people on here are legit and just want to be a part of what has been built here. I'm sure many registering there are going with the same goals. I am more skeptical of the leaders at Atlantis. Until they have the presence and track record that DPR does I might be more comfortable. They're the ones who ultimately control the escrow system and relay your address to the vendors (use PGP!). A competing site to the road would be a great ploy for scammers or LE :o
-
atlantis spooks the shit out of me. also cant seem to find any reviews for anyone. super sketch. honey pot most likely.
-
I read in their sellers guide it's only 25 dollars to become a vendor. In the other one, Bmw it's 1 bitcoin, both are less than SR I don't think a vendor would get the same exposure as SR. Their forums aren't very populated, welllzzzzzzz cuz all the people are over here I would imagine!
-
NOT bmw BUT BMR HAA
-
Yeah I mean it looks legit but I have yet to be screwed by SR so ill stick with what I know.

SR cant demand a higher fee because it has that many more users. Big Silkroad vendors most times are fulfilling hundreds of orders a day. SR is the going to get you the most views, and most likely the most business. If you like a hot product you better have coins ready to fly asap
-
no, actually SR seller's fee is 500 usd
-
Yeah none of the seller's pages have any reviews yet really. Seems like a nice interface I'll probably check back once its better populated. Right now there's no reason to stray from SR.
-
I made a purchase over there, $1000 worth of MDMA powder from JOR, actually.
I don't know why everyone keeps on telling me that I am going to get ripped off. I paid, and JOR tells me the product is in transit. That seems to be exactly the same process as on SR (I am over 30K on SR, btw). This was when SR was down.
The only difference was that it was a little bit cheaper on Atlantis for the same product from the same SR vendor.
I find it hard to believe that JOR is a scammer now just because he has vendor's accounts at Atlantis and BMR.
-
nah, had a look at atlantis then sr was down, but something inside said be patience, dont leave the road yet
bmr aswell, something is just missing in these markets, maybe the spirit witch is in here
-
it seems a little clunky. I wonder if sr really goes down will everyone migrate there? Jezz I hope not. What do you think?
I hope not too. I don't trust it. It seems like a plain and simple, slightly shit copy of SR. The main difference being the SR team have had a lot more experience in terms of the ups and downs of a marketplace like this, security, keeping vendors and buyers happy.. etc.
Its likely that we'd all be making a major compromise regarding all of those things, if we migrated there.
I mean you only have to think about the lack of originality in their name, to realise its all a farce. Atlantis?? Wonder how they thought of that.

Hahaha you could be right, you never know... its still too early to tell if she'll put out ;)
I actually just added my address to my signature today, so no, nothing yet. I honestly don't expect to get anything as most of my posts have been worthless/spam.
On the subject of other black markets, I recently made my first purchase on BMR (yes, while SR was down, dont hate me :-X). 5 grams of hi heat cocaine for $235... way too good of a deal to pass up. I know BMR is full of scammers but this is one of the few vendors who has near perfect rep/feedback and works in escrow so I'm not too worried.
-
I thought I would give Atlantis a lookie loo as it was so challenging to go onto SR the past week. Their buyer and seller guides are pretty much copy pasted from the SR respective guides.
I recently just paid $650 USD as my seller's bond on SR so a $25 bond on Atlantis looks pretty attractive to me right now (and clearly that was probably their intention...)
It concerns me that SR loyalists are accusing vendors of being disloyal by selling on both sites. I mean, politics aside, we are drug dealers and the point is to make money, right???
I haven't decided whether I will have a vendor account on Atlantis as well. I'm going to focus on SR first and see how it goes.

Hardly any of the buyers actually use the forums anyway, so being on both sites won't affect your sales one bit.
-
The prices are very low, but no real buyers here. Coud be alot scammers there. I will watch it and if SR will fail ill probably change.
-
i just ordered something from atlantis.
back in february i mined myself some litecoins so im not really risking my money. i ll stick to sr because of my good experience here but if i actually receive sth it was a great way to get rid of my litecoins
edit: their UI looks a lot better. im no programmer but i guess the programming is more complex and therefore more vulnerable which i dont really appreciate to say it nicely
-
I've checked it out, but am only reserving it as a backup in case SR goes down.
-
Been there and it's not that great if this doesn't work BMR here i come.
-
I registered a user but in the end decided I didn't feel comfortable about the site since I never heard of it before today. Also I'm sure SR will sort out all the issues.

now they raised it to $650 to become a vendor?
I agree, we all have to make money. Check out reddit, a sr vendor posts about people being needing to be loyal to sr....and the other people go off on him. Yikes!
Well today I'm having trouble logging on, I really hope my buyers have been able to log on and finalize their orders.
-
Damn 650 now? Im glad I created mine a year ago. Btw Im back. Had to deal with real life for a while. Have a grateful day!
-
Looks odd,the layout is hard to navigate and no escrow
-
The prices seem really cheap. I presume so they can get customers and reviews etc
-
Well ive looked at it but i dont think i wanna try it. Havent been fucked by SR yet so ill keep with it.
-
@Monty Cantsin: It does have escrow and is pretty much the same layout as SR.
-
SR has much more momentum behind it
-
I looked at it, but I am not completely frustrated with the problems here yet. I have had a vendor account since last year, and generally like the community here.
-
i took a gander at it, and i feel it doesnt have that same warming sensation you get everytime you log on to here ;D
-
Who knows it could be LE? maybe im being paranoid But I donno i took a look used different username pwd and everything to be safe
-
Yeah i am steering clear from Atlantis...very unsettling
-
yep it does look sorta suspect.
-
Doesn't look as good or promising as TSR. Fuck them.
-
Why change a good thing? However, I would be interested in joining a cannabis only type of free market place where the only thing vendors can sell are all thing cannabis. 8)
-
atlantis reeks suspicion to me
-
There seems to be something about Atlantis that I cannot warm to. I can't invest. I'm out.
Best I can do is 20% for 200,000, with 3% royalty until I make my investment back.
-
Atlantis has a very "startup" feel -- almost a little trying *too* hard to look legit. I checked it out briefly when SR was down and it has promise. Competition is a great thing. Now that the hydra is out it's impossible to kill it. By snuffing out one head you spawn three. (oink.cd, anyone?)
-
I checked it out, more out of curiousity than anything else. It looked more like BMR, I wouldn't order from there for quite a while until some vendors get more established.
-
I would say f*** Atlantis. something about it just seems odd. It feels like I'm doing something bad!!
-
The more competition there is the better. LE cant do shit
-
Can't say I feel the need to.
-
I've looked but hesitant to try something without much of a track record.
-
Other SR alternatives are ultimately good for the consumer, but the last time I looked at Atlantis it was woefully inadequate compared to this place.
-
There's no need to be paranoid because ur all weirded by the interface, the plain fact is there's no feedback anywhereZ?\
The forum says there are over 1k members
SO has ANYONE actually bought anything off atlantis??
-
@Bluemagick My Atlantis customers have bought stuff on Atlantis.
-
Ive done some looking around on there I shall stay loyal to the Road

I have no experience in dealing with lost continents. For that reason, I'm out.
-
I don't really need to check out another site, been here over a year and SR does perfect for me, why settle for less
-
Silk Road has shown that its administrators are trustworthy, dependable, and willing to do anything for the community to strive forward. There are thousands of vendors on this site who have a long history of successful transactions also, which Atlantis lacks at the moment. Why would you trade in a Ferrari for a corolla?? I'm just saying =)
