agreed i dont like the new stats system either. i think it has too much info. why do we need time frames?
liked the old format better.

It offers more info to vendors, so they can make better judgments about who to work with, while providing no more info to, for example, LE who might compromise the site.

The old buyer stats showed a total number, but anyone who accessed your account could see your reviews going back 4 months, so they could still calculate your 1 month and 3 month purchasing stats.


SS, I think that's how they were able to calculate the stats. Purchasing info goes back 4 months. You can see the info in your reviews, by clicking on the individual items. So they calculated the 1 month and 3 month stats, then subtracted the 3 month stats from the total to get the 1 year and all time stats.

Numerous people have pointed out that the 1 year and all time stats (for accounts that have been around for 2 years, eg) are identical, and that is why. They don't have the old data.

BTW, I would never use Atlantis anyway, based on the admins' flagrant disregard for their customers' security. Besides the in-browser PGP thing, they have repeatedly posted onion.to links to their site on clearnet. If the phishing site is a proxy that can MITM your connection and steal your account credentials, than the *official* approved method of accessing their site is the same thing, posted by the admins on sites like reddit.

Astor, I see you make very thoughtout and helpful posts here often, what is your thoughts on the quote you posted.  Would you deal with either of these "vendors" if they had something you wanted.  Just curious as I respect your opinion


EDIT: from re-reading your other post I see that we are on the same page. I mis interpreted you first post if my response seemed a bit off. I'm cringing reading it.
 Just once, one tiny config file or non updated tails and on and on.

Obviously I would never buy anything from RxKing. The smarter vendors write scripts to automate the decryption process and lose no time. One vendor told me his script reduced his packaging time from 4 hours to 10 minutes, since all he has to do is manually scan the addresses to make sure they are formatted correctly, and he pre-packages the different amounts that he sells.

A vendor who is really pressed for time like that needs to figure out how to work smarter, not harder. Then he doesn't have to compromise on his customers' security.

And the phishing site doesn't ask for your PIN (unless you register an account), making the account info useless.

Oh yeah, and the most damning evidence: who the hell would create an Atlantis phishing site?

What kind of personal wallet was it? An ewallet? Someone could have hacked / accessed your account and transferred the coins.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to get the coins back.

Astor, I am extremely surprised that you would suggest to do something that could compromise your security and anonymity.

I'm sure you've heard many warnings not to install add-ons or change the default TBB configuration, even from me. It's not that ZOMG if you install an add-on you will die. It's just that you have to understand the tools that you're using and their security risks, and most people are not competent to make that judgment, so the easy solution is to tell everyone not to fuck around with their settings.

95% of add-ons are probably safe to install, but nobody knows what all of the 5% dangerous ones are, so it's best for most people not to install any. These two have astor's seal of approval as being safe, if that's worth anything.

Does this work for Tails too?

Since Tails uses Tor Browser, yes. You'll have to enable the persistent volume to keep the installed add-ons.
