As some of you may know by now Atlantis has been offline for the past day or so.

It now looks like our host has taken us off the air and we have not been informed why. It is also now safe to assume that they have worked out or been notified by authoroties the true nature of our site. This being the case you need to assume all data has been compromised.

I call BS
-
I doubt SR will go down just so easy
-
User for less then a day..
-
Thats what you get for being know nothing copy cat jack offs who advertise on youtube and talk to the media I hope you get arse raped for being so fucking stupid
-
I would not open that link he posted! STAY AWAY!
-
A nickle says it has more to do with the lack of popularity than the authorities....
-
They do seem very relaxed about Atlantis being offline though. One announcement in 24 hours, and still their publicity claims they're "better than the competition" because of "no downtime".
I guess the next competitor to SR will just have to run their site properly. And competition should be good for the market, so it'd be a shame to see Atlantis fold.

Atlantis gained a whole lot of traction when SR was down during the big attack last spring. That's about the only platform they have to advertise off of.
-
Wow.
If that's true, that was one fucking short run.
-
And 24 hours later, only silence. On the plus side, BMR is fine.
-
DPR must be laughing his ass off. Quote from The Forbes article "I like them nipping at my heels" lmao
-
not good.
-
I wonder how many coins they actually got away with if this does prove to be some sory of scam.
-
I had 0.9 BTC on the site - best never to leave more than you can afford to lose in online wallets. It's the vendors with big escrow amounts who will feel this the worst.
-
well I have seen atlantis vendors posting they will be back, we will see
-
There's a way to set up an emergency account that your bitcoins will be sent to if SR goes down isn't there? I should look into that..
-
It appears rumours of Atlantis' demise were exaggerated. The site is back in all its former glory.

On SR, click on ACCOUNT then SETTINGS. Scroll down and you'll see where you can add a BTC address. The coins in your account will be sent to that address in the event of an emergency where DPR is forced to shut the site down. Whether it's actually what will happen remains to be seen I guess (by that I mean if DPR has time to do so).

LMAO

I call BullShit. I'm logged in right now... not that I've ever purchased anything there.
Be careful of phishing sites.

Thanks found it :)
At first I was thinking if I were DPR I'd just send everyones bitcoins to my own account, but this is actually better for him as well. If the feds took over the Silk Road they'd have a hell of a time trying to track down where all the bitcoins have gone, and DPR would have more time to cover his tracks.
Smart guy/girl that one.
-
Back up and running now guess this was just some more BS>
-
lol Atlantis
-
This thread = nobody wins. So many vendors from here on there. If it were true. MANY from here were compromised as well.
-
Its a shit site so many vendors havent been on in 2 or 3 months
-

It seems like a lot of vendors there are more active here. If SR ever did go down they'd probably become more active over there.
-
well I have seen atlantis vendors posting they will be back, we will see
yeah Ive seen this too.
-
So is this site worth it or not? I always wonder wtf il do if SR ever departs!
-
Not a patch on SR.
In an anonymous world, peeps will always go to the most Trusted site.
That is right here in your beloved SILK ROAD.
It's good to see that the site is back nice and stable and the Mods are really starting to crack down on SPAM once more.
Quality is what gives people confidence, DPR and the Gang know this.
SR is definitely back on the UP and UP.
Namaste

i figured as much. I love SR, it enabled me to procure stuff that i had no source for and gave me amazing experiences.
-
Yes i looked at Atlantis & looks shit compared to SR
So I will always use SR as long as around
Cheers DPR

I think Atlantis looks and works great. I think BMR is not as good but it's better than nothing. Listen up just because you like SR better doesn't mean you have to insult any and all competition. Silk Road is the grandaddy and will always be so. But new upstarts bring fresh blood and new customers and vendors. It is great and I hope we see hundreds of competitors selling all kinds of great banned items.
Long live DPR!
Viva La Revolution!

I used to work in internet security before I was forced into retirement by a disability. I was telling one of my best friends, about a month back, that I was considering using either SR or Atlantis and he insinuated to me that he had evidence that Atlantis was financially backed by the DEA and would soon fold, cash in their BitCoin balance, then turn all their records over to federal prosecutors as state's evidence in exchange for total immunity. When he told me that, I began to look at Atlantis in a different light.
SilkRoad is an established business and has turned out to be a gold mine for our dear friend DPR. There is no way I'm going to risk losing any money or information to Atlantis. While I sincerely hope that those who have done business with them are able to conclude transactions and cash out monies with them, they ARE an unproven establishment and should be dealt with as such.
Stick with SilkRoad, friends. Until Atlantis has proven itself, as the infamous Mike Brady would say, "Caveat emptor‎."
-
lmao well damn.. Their reign was shorter than the legs on leprechauns lol
-
That's too bad, I really liked having options, and BMR always kind of sketched me out. Atlantis seemed like a great site, they spent way more effort on appearance than SR, I thought it would really push both the sites to improve.
Whatever, SR is simple and gets it done.
-
I find the rumor that atlantis couldve been run by the dea very interesting.But theres a larger point here.I have very good faith in DPR and SR but if it ever should go down,someone else (who is legit)would open up another marketplace just like it.Once the technology exists,theres no going back.Its just a cat and mouse game.The cops are well aware of that,and thats why I think they dont spend much time or effort worrying about SR.Sure they might make some tough statments in public.But think about it.People get pretty large amounts of drugs shipped to there house and if it gets seized,all they do is send a letter.If they really wanted to spend LE time and money to prosecute people do you really think they would have to setup a fake site on tor and spend all that time,when they already have a huge list of people they could prosecute if they wanted to?It just doesn't make sense to me.Tell me where i'm wrong.
-
I'm logged into Atlantis right now, I see tons of listings. Everything still works. Am I really the first one here who actually checked? Oh, that's right. newbie secton... :-)

Some noob with 5 posts, and the only posts he wrote about were regarding Atlantis. Lame.
Atlantis is a great site.
-

Fuck... I opened it. Just said "An error has occured!"... This is my first time hearing of Atlantis. I was curious.
-
Atlantis gives you the option of using Litecoin also. I bought a few of them many months ago, and it came in handy to be able to use them on that site.
I've made around 3-4 purchases from there, and not a problem. I think its great there's more than one site....what happens if SR goes down? You have Atlantis to go to, and vice-versa.
-
Your post made me lol at the timing of it, I think Atlantis has closed down bro so don't encourage the opening of accounts their just yet.
-
I loved Atlantis. Vendors with slightly lower prices and the time on their hands to ship your order immediately.
I hope that adventure_time comes to the road and reveals what he planned as today's offering on Atlantis.
Damn, I miss that dude.
-
I'm almost glad I didn't sign up there, the inconvenience and disappointment would really bum me out.
-
NO OFFENSE BUT LETS STICK TO SR FOLKS ATLANTIS AND ALL THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME
-
What a shame its closing down. Must have been too many people paranoid from using it.
-
and BMR always kind of sketched me out.
I logged on BMR once and it felt like I was there to buy grenades from some midwest militia...
-

OH NO I OPENED IT WHAT DO I DO!!! lol
-
AdventureTimeSupply is now on Silk Road. This guy is great. He is the one who received the rave review from Forbes Magazine.
-
Well no loss really I mean talk about putting your self in the lime light. I had an account there and still 100% of my sales were through SR. :D
