The questions we receive most often, with the shortest useful answer for each. If something here is unclear, the answer is almost always “use the rotator” or “set the security slider to Safest”.
A sweep runs every few minutes against each onion address. Mirrors that fail three sweeps in a row drop off the public list until a fresh manifest is signed.
Because choosing by hand is rarely the optimal move. The rotator endpoint pings the inventory and bounces you straight to whichever mirror is alive and lowest-latency, so you skip the dead-link dance.
Safe to bookmark in the sense that they are the canonical published set. Even so, cross-check against this page before each login, since v3 onions can be retired without notice when capacity shifts.
No. Every page renders fully on the Safest Tor Browser slider with JavaScript globally off. The directory deliberately ships zero client scripts.
No, the market supports Monero and Bitcoin. Monero is the default for most users since the chain analysis surface is much smaller than Bitcoin.
Yes. The page is host-agnostic, so the same source file works on any domain without rewrites. The sitemap and canonical reflect the Host header on each request.
No, Torzon does not collect email at registration. The account is keyed to a username and passphrase only, with optional PGP 2FA layered on top.
You can, but you should not. Round-trip flows make chain analysis easier. Withdraw to a fresh wallet, and ideally not one connected to your deposit identity.
Monero typically clears in ten to twenty minutes. Bitcoin clears in around an hour after the network sees three confirmations. Heavy mempool conditions slow Bitcoin further.
Because if Torzon servers are seized, plaintext addresses become evidence. Mandatory PGP at the listing level means addresses are decrypted only on the vendor machine, never sit unencrypted on the market backend.
Yes, on any darknet market. The Safest slider disables JavaScript and a couple of other browser features that have been the source of historic deanonymization exploits.
Close the tab immediately and do not enter credentials. That behavior is the classic phishing signal. Pick a fresh onion from this directory and start over.
