Due to Atlantis shutting down soon ( http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=213396 ) there's not many days left to analyze how Atlantis has functioned. The purpose of this thread is to try and detail every single Feature Atlantis used which was either unique or used differently compared to Silk Road. Now I registered a Vendor Account there many months ago but never got around to paying the bond and using it as such, so my perspective will be quite limited in the sense I know roughly how Silk Road works but I only know how Atlantis works by my experience of browsing around on it. I will post my perspective of it below but hopefully some more experienced Atlantis users can post their Perspective and more importantly some Vendors who have access to functions I'm not able to see currently.A) IntroductionB) LoginC) StartD) SettingsE) ProfileF) ListingsG) UniqueA) IntroductionAtlantis decided right from the start to differentiate itself from Silk Road by utilizing an Introduction page which clearly state their name and their benefits over other sites ( these benefits were clearly not entirely accurate but it's a difference nonetheless ). It seems it was built for a minimum resolution of 1152x864, for reference this is how it looked like 2013-09-22: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/mlMU.pngB) LoginThe login page differentiated itself by including three additional things, namely "About", "Forgot Password" and the line "IMPORTANT! Please verify that your URL is: atlantisrky4es5q.onion". The last line is particularly ironic as Atlantis was periodically used in phishing attempts by other websites and clearly that last line was either not included or changed in any such phishing attempt. One could argue the Silk Road system for Recovering Accounts is better compared to the Atlantis way of doing it since it's not tied to an e-mail and it can still be reset through the forums - the only question is how many are aware of this? For reference this is how the login page looked like 2013-09-22: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/KvEv.pngC) StartStarting out with a reference picture right away dated 2013-09-22: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/GdPq.pngNow there's a couple of menus not visible due to utilization of dropdown menus, they can be seen in this image: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/LLh6.pngIf we take the dropdown menus into consideration and compare we see there's a quite different focus on the Start Page, with Atlantis trying to give access to almost anything by just clicking once. Noteworthy for Vendors is the ability to mark orders as "Approved", ie. an option of marking an order as being processed - this alternative does not exist on Silk Road.If we go to the Front Page itself there's by default 40 listings on Atlantis, while Silk Road has 16 listings. The listings themselves differ slightly in appearance, Atlantis has a Picture with an alternative of three different overlays ( Litecoin Price, Bitcoin Price and Verified Seller ) in addition to having the dimensions 160x115 compared to Silk Road which utilizes just a picture with the dimensions 180x135. Another small Feature Atlantis has is it will show a small Popup indicating the Litecoin Price for the first four listings - however not for a single one after that ( Programming Error or just no one has bothered to fix it, might be due to a "Featured Listing System" ). Atlantis had one additional Sorting Method called "Random Items" which Silk Road doesn't have an option to active ( although the Start Page kind of works like that ), which does exactly what it sounds like.D) SettingsReference picture dated 2013-09-23: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/bTJt.pngPretty similar to Silk Road overall, with the notable exceptions Passwords Support 6-50 characters ( why there even is a cap is a mystery ) and the Options "Order Notifications", "Auto-encrypt incoming messages using GPG" and the option to show the balance in Litecoin/Bitcoin. Order Notifications and Fan Notifications sound like Interesting Features, but I haven't seen them in action so someone else will have to explain how these work. As for the Country Setting Atlantis utilizes 237 unique Regions, it seems fairly up to date as can be seen from the post http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=171551.msg1239820#msg1239820 - land Islands is one of the Missing Regions, supposedly there is one more missing - no idea which one.E) ProfileFor a Reference picture for a Profile I decided to take a screenshot of Atlantis biggest Vendor, adventure_time ( AdventureTimeSupply on Silk Road now ) - dated 2013-09-23: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/5fov.pngThe first noticeable difference here is Atlantis utilizes textboxes, although they do not appear to be customizable in size by the Vendor. Other than that it's pretty much identical, although the Atlantis way of doing it gives significantly less space for the Profile Description. Now it's worth mentioning the "Report User" function is basically worthless, by pressing it all that happens is you're given the following message: http://torimagesbp2vt3u.onion/i/EFrW.png - I presume a Moderator will supposedly send a message after clicking this but what a mess compared to Silk Road where you're given the ability to mention exactly why you're reporting.F) ListingsAtlantis just went down and I can't reconnect so I will return to this section later when it's up again. As for the structure of listings it's identical to Silk Road in the sense one has to include weight in the title itself and there's not many options to filter or compare with other listings easily.G) UniqueHere I will list all Unique Features Atlantis has compared to Silk Road - will update this section as Atlantis is currently down for some reason.
