Questions people ask
Short answers, no filler.
Are these the real market links?
Every onion on a market page here is verified against the operator signed address before it goes up. Copy one, and always confirm it on the login screen. Do not take addresses from random chats or search results.
Which coins can I use?
It depends on the market. Most take Bitcoin and Monero, some add Litecoin or Ethereum, and one is Monero only. Each market page lists what it accepts. For privacy, Monero is the coin to reach for.
What is a mirror?
An extra onion address for the same shop. Every market keeps several live so a single address under attack never takes the whole market down. Your account is the same on every mirror.
How do I know I am on the real market?
Compare the onion on the login screen against your address bar. Real markets print it in the anti-phishing image and the header. If the two do not match, you are on a fake, so close the tab.
A market will not load, is it gone?
Usually not. It is more often a Tor circuit or a short flood. Request a new circuit and retry, or switch to another mirror on the market page.
Is this site a market?
No. It is a directory. It sells nothing, stores nothing about you, and is not any of the markets it lists. It only points you to verified addresses.
FAQ
- Onion address
- A fifty-six character Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, never type it, and verify it on the login screen.
- Mirror
- An extra onion address for the same market. Several are kept live so one going down never locks you out.
- Multisig escrow
- A 2 of 3 escrow held by buyer, vendor and market. Two keys are needed to release, so no one moves the coin alone.
- Monero (XMR)
- A coin that hides sender, receiver and amount by default. The private choice on any market that takes it.
- Finalize-early
- Releasing payment before goods arrive. It removes your dispute path. Avoid it on unproven vendors.
- PGP
- The signing scheme operators use to prove a mirror list is genuine, and a login step that protects your account.
