Tor market glossary
- Escrow
- Holding a payment in a multisig contract until buyer and vendor agree the order is done. Every market here uses 2 of 3 multisig.
- Hidden service
- A server reachable only through Tor at a .onion address. Every market on this catalog is one.
- Mirror
- A distinct onion address resolving to the same market. Markets run several for redundancy.
- Monero (XMR)
- A privacy coin that hides sender, receiver and amount. The private default across these markets.
- Onion address
- A fifty-six character v3 Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, never type it, and verify it against the login captcha.
- PGP signature
- A cryptographic signature proving who published a message and that it is unchanged. Markets sign their mirror lists.
- Withdrawal PIN
- A second secret, separate from the login password, required to move a balance off a market. TorZon enforces one.
