Technical FAQ

The primary verified V3 onion address for Torzon Market is:

Due to the volatile nature of the Tor network, users are advised to bookmark the verified mirrors listed on our Links Page. Always verify the PGP signature on the login page before entering credentials.

Onion sites reside on the Tor hidden service network. If a link fails to load:
1. Ensure you are using the latest version of Tor Browser.
2. Check your system clock; Tor requires accurate time synchronization.
3. The specific node may be under DDoS attack. Try a verified mirror from our rotator:
Mirror 1: x33htky474572abnqhelse3ycveejfesh25symgm6oznfq35thtfukid.onion Mirror 2: wtcbykkm5fvvpbyr6aw4w4yyyaq2maj5zouxkt27pbufzx6lyeome4ad.onion

For maximum Operational Security (OpSec):
• Security Level: Set to "Safer" or "Safest".
• JavaScript: Torzon works without JS. We recommend disabling it globally via `about:config` (`javascript.enabled = false`).
• Window Size: Do not maximize the browser window to prevent fingerprinting.

Verification is critical to prevent Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
1. Import the Torzon Market public PGP key into your keychain (GPG4Win/Kleopatra/GPG Suite).
2. Copy the signed message block displayed on the login page.
3. Decrypt/Verify the message in your PGP software.
4. Confirm: The signature must be valid and the URL in the message must match your browser bar exactly.

PGP 2-Factor Authentication ensures that only the holder of the private key associated with an account can log in. Even if your password is compromised, the attacker cannot access your account without decrypting the 2FA challenge message. You must add your public key in account settings to enable this feature.

Never send plaintext addresses.
1. Obtain the vendor's PGP public key from their profile.
2. Import it into your PGP client.
3. Write your address in a text editor, copy it, and select "Encrypt" in your PGP tool.
4. Select the vendor's key as the recipient.
5. Paste the resulting ASCII Armor block into the order notes.
Note: Torzon has an auto-encrypt feature, but manual encryption is always safer.

Monero (XMR) is the recommended currency for all Torzon transactions. It uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to completely obfuscate the sender, receiver, and amount.

Bitcoin (BTC) is accepted but operates on a transparent public ledger. If using BTC, we strongly advise mixing coins or using a CoinJoin service before depositing to break the transaction chain.

Funds are credited automatically once the blockchain threshold is met:
• Bitcoin: 1 Confirmation (~10 minutes).
• Monero: 10 Confirmations (~20 minutes).
Do not submit support tickets regarding missing deposits until these timeframes have passed. Always send to the exact address generated in your wallet tab; addresses are one-time use.

Torzon acts as a neutral third party. When an order is placed, funds are moved to a secure escrow wallet. The vendor is notified to ship. Funds are only released to the vendor when:
1. The buyer manually marks the order as "Finalized".
2. The auto-finalization timer expires (14 days for physical goods, 48 hours for digital).
If a dispute is opened, the timer freezes and staff will mediate.

• Buyers: 0% fee on purchases. Standard blockchain network fees apply for withdrawals.
• Vendors: 4% commission on finalized sales.
• Vendor Bond: $300 USD (waiver available for established vendors from other markets with verifiable PGP proof).

Torzon maintains a strict harm-reduction policy. The following are banned and will result in immediate account termination:
• CP (Child Pornography)
• Fentanyl and its analogues
• Weapons, explosives, and poisons
• Hire-for-murder or violent services
• Doxing or personal data of innocent individuals

If an order does not arrive or matches the description, click "Dispute" before the auto-finalize timer expires.
1. Communicate with the vendor in the dispute chat.
2. If no resolution is reached within 24 hours, a moderator will join.
3. Moderators review shipping proofs, PGP communications, and vendor history to issue a refund or release funds.
