Questions, answered
The questions buyers and sellers keep asking, answered straight. If yours is not here, the contact page takes an encrypted message and a signed reply.
Open the address via Tor and compare it character-by-character with the live site. Any mismatch means the link is dead or spoofed. Check the date on this page before clicking.
It is a buffer against traffic spikes during key rotations. Expect five to fifteen minutes, sometimes longer if the server is under load. Do not refresh, because a refresh restarts the circuit build.
The .onion address becomes invalid immediately and old bookmarks die. Your account, balance and history stay put. You must find the new v3 address through verified channels, and this page is updated with it.
Bitcoin and Monero only. No altcoins, no credit cards. Send exactly what the invoice requests, and remember the network fee is separate from the market fee.
Funds lock in escrow until delivery is confirmed. If a dispute arises, the administrator makes the final call. There is no arbitration committee, so the decision is binding.
Processing depends on network congestion and admin availability. Expect three to seven days for funds to return to your wallet, and the return transfer carries its own network fee.
Enable two-factor authentication with an authenticator app and set up PGP for all communications. Do not skip these steps to save time, because the account is most exposed early on.
It means the mirrors were checked manually and the last check is dated on the page. It does not guarantee uptime, specific policies, or that the market will never change its rules.
The mirror is just a doorway into the same shop. All transactions, listings, and accounts exist on the main .onion site. A dead mirror is not a dead market.
Switch to another verified address from this list. If all three fail, wait a day before assuming the market is down, because a single dead address is routine.
