Nine addresses

Nine is a lot, and new readers reasonably take it as a sign something is wrong. It is not. Four pages on what the set is for and what it cannot do.

The short version

Almost everything that makes an onion unreachable happens along the path rather than at the destination. Those failures are per address, so several addresses make them independent of each other. That is the whole argument, and it explains why a large set is a design choice rather than a warning sign.

What is not hereNone of these pages tell you which address is genuine, because a list cannot answer that. Only a signature can, and that is a decision of its own.
