I imagine they will say they are the same. I have seen this happen before. I have scored off a vendor on the road then seen the same vendor at Black market reloaded and got burnt. They were scamming by impersonating trusted vendors from the road. I would be very careful and if they say they are TN then I would find that hard to believe. The only way to know for sure is to pm him on the road.

yep.thats what i was gonna do but the guy hardly ever reads his mail let alone answers it.
perhaps if i put in the header "topnotch on atlantis is this you?" he might take notice

I have just had a reply from the Atlantis TN and he says he is not the same TN and didnt know there was a vendor by this name on the road.he is pretty gutted about having the same name but was more concerned whether SR TN was a bad vendor as he thought it might affect his trade.I have advised him to put something in his profile to say that he sells from Atlantis only and isnt associated with TN from SR.

Just had the following message from topnotch:

PLEASE READ PROFILE FOR VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

RE-SEND MESSAGE IF YOUR MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT, AND YOU NEED A REPLY.

TOP-NOTCH IS ONLY ON SILK ROAD, AND WILL NEVER BE ANY WHERE ELSE OTHER THAN SILK ROAD.

PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED FROM SCAMMERS THAT HAVE OPENED FAKE TOP-NOTCH SITES TO STEAL YOUR MONEY.

THANKS FORM TOP-NOTCH.

My guess is that this guy on Atlantis is a scammer trying to cash in on the topnotch downtime. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't fuck you over.

Hey shiftingsands

I see you mentioned uglydoll. Well I have ordered two 0.2 bags from UglyDoll - placed the order last Thursday and got a message on Friday saying that my order will be sent out on Monday. I presume that this will take at least two days to reach me, so I will update you on quality and so on whereupon it arrives.

IDK but i notice a few vendors are over there from SR. Makes sense to explore options.
Title: Re: TopNotch on Atlantis...Is it the same vendor?
Post by: LEFTY on May 12, 2013, 12:51 pm
I see a few familiar vendor names there. Atlantis looks good and everything but I can't pull the trigger. Trust factor is not there yet with me and it will be a long long time before it is.

Post by: Afflicted_Aggressor on May 12, 2013, 01:04 pm
They cant be any worse surely.  best way is to go to both sites, actively buy, and then make up you're mind who's better

I doubt if topnotch from atlantis is a scammer.why would he say that he wasnt TN from SR to me if he was?If he was scamming he would of been like "yeah,im TN from SR dealing over here for a while because SR is down blah blah"
I have spoke to him on a few occasions now and he seems very honest.he even set up a smaller listing of a 0.2gr so I could test his kit out before jumping in at a gram.He has only just started but already has 100% feedback on the small amount of orders he has delivered on.
I'm the one that told TN of SR that this guy was using the same name which is why he has put up a warning but i also told him about the guy not knowing he had the same name as him.
THANKS FORM TOP-NOTCH.

Hey Guys,

I will stick to the road myself. I went to BMR once and got taken in by a scammer and lost 2.7 bitcoins. In all my time on the road i have never been scammed once.

I tried beston3 Afghan # 3 this weekend. It was nice. Not as strong as tn but easier on the lungs. I will use him again. Nice to know i now have two good clues for A # 3.

this is how my reply to roonbabbon was supposed to look,as its quite confusing how it turned out the 1st time-

Well,once bitten,twice shy as they say SS.gutted for you still though >:( fkn a-holes!
I would go for strength over harshness anyday but then I dont smoke anymore.I did go back to smoking for a couple of years but when the quality went to shit a few years back,it was a waste of cash so back to the pin for me.

Good point. Perhaps he's not a scammer. I'm certain he is trying to cash in on the SR TN though. Anyone going to the effort of messaging him is bound to do the same to the guy on SR so it's not worth trying to continue the deception in his message. Have you tried his stuff yet? If it's good skag, fair play. I don't care if names himself after my mum. Feedback is not hard to fake though.

I haven't tried anyone from Atlantis yet.I'm a total noob to tor and have only placed 2 orders on SR but I might give him a go sometime.

ive used atlantis for buys now twice..once from Spanishfly and once from newWorldorder and both stayed in escrow and both items came in timely fashion(NW was US to US dmt and Spanishfly was Spain to US for hash...only took like 11 days:)  i enjoy being able to spend my mined litecoin there or have option to pay using ltc and btc, that being said i have seen ALOT of vendors on there requesting FE and thats a big no-no.  I think just Dont FE and make sure to buy from someone who already has reviews and you should be good.

GWN-do you mine using graphics cards? also do you think these ASICS machines by BFL are ever going to come out?Ive seen ONE taken apart on a youtube vid but it was by a guy closely related to BFL so could be a fake.Lots of people are losing faith and are selling their pre- orders on ebay but they dont seem to have trouble selling them.

check bfl's twitter page and bitcointalk.org forums...the Jalepenos are shipping NOW and almost daily i have seen posts on bfl's twitter, on bitcointalk in the hardware forum, and on youtube from customers recieveing the jallys. 
As for ltc mining yes i use 4 7850 asus cards and am getting right around 1.2 -1.7m/h on wemineltc.com or around 1700k/hash    i get approx 2-3 coins a day currently. sometimes more based on luck.
long story short, bfl asics are for real but sounds like  it will still be some time before they catch up on all the old pre2k13 preorders

LTC not BTC yeah? so thats only about £6-£7 a day Hmmm($US=1.5x£UK) isnt the electric bill more than that?
You wouldn't by any chance have any older cards for sale have you?I'm looking to up-grade my 4670 so I can play BF3

Oh yeah,from what I've seen the jalepenos are about 3x bigger than the original spec and have to use a powerpack not the usb for power BUT saying all that..I sure would like one or two right now while the goings good.Compared to Graphics cards(size and hash rate)they kick ass!
