Torzon Decisions Every choice this involves, with what each option costs you

Torzon addresses

Nine published addresses for one market. Copy rather than retype. Which one to use is a decision with a page of its own.

This list is published, not monitored. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and checking a signature is the only thing that settles it.

Questions

Short answers with links to the reasoning. Several are unsatisfying, which is deliberate.

On answers that expire

The honest answer to what the current address is stops being true. The honest answer to whether a market will exist next year is that nobody knows. Wherever those get answered confidently, the confidence is the product rather than the information.

Questions people ask

Which of the nine addresses should I use?

Any of them. They reach the same market and the choice matters less than people expect, which is covered in which address to use.

Why are there so many addresses?

Because the failures that make an onion unreachable are per address rather than per market. Why nine and not one has the detail.

Is Torzon down right now?

This site measures nothing and will not answer with a number. Build a new circuit, try another address, then open any unrelated onion service. That last step separates a market problem from a network problem in seconds.

My old address stopped working and now it works again. Good news?

No. Nothing retired returns under the same string, so something resembling it is answering under different ownership. Close the tab.

Somebody posted a new address while it was down. Should I use it?

No. That window is worked deliberately, because the usual comparison is unavailable and people are anxious. See wait or switch.

Do I really have to check the signature every time?

Yes, and it is the one decision here where the options are not balanced. The people who get caught are usually the ones who did it for a year and then stopped.

How much should I fund at once?

What you are about to spend. The fee saved by funding in bulk is a fraction of a cent and the risk carried is unbounded. See how much to fund.

A vendor offered a discount for paying directly. Worth it?

No, and it is the only decision here with no recovery mechanism behind the wrong answer. See escrow or direct.

Someone messaged me offering support. Is it genuine?

No. No market runs support on a messaging app, a forum account or email, so the channel answers the question without assessing the account.

Is this site connected to the market?

No. It is a reference site, it takes no money from any platform, and it cannot recover an account or act on your behalf.
