Nexus Market vs Anubis Market

Both take Monero, both run 2-of-3 multisig, both PGP-sign rotations. Two knobs separate them: vendor depth and dispute speed.

Vendor pool

Nexus tracks around 3,120 active vendors. Anubis is closer to 1,860. The difference matters most on niche products where Nexus will usually surface two or three sellers to Anubis's one. On mainstream categories both markets have enough vendors that the choice comes down to per-vendor reputation, not to catalog depth.

Dispute resolution

Anubis has the cleanest dispute record we track: fewer than one dispute per hundred completed orders. Nexus runs closer to one per fifty, and disputes on Nexus can drag past a week when moderators need extra evidence. Both markets side with the buyer more often than the seller when the seller has no documented shipping proof, which is the fair outcome, but Anubis moderators respond faster.

Coins

Both markets take Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero. Both default to Monero at checkout. Anubis's fee structure is slightly cleaner, especially on Litecoin small-order deposits.

Mirror rotation

Both PGP-sign their rotation announcements with the same key that has signed every rotation since launch. Nexus rotates individual mirrors more often, which means more work to keep bookmarks fresh but also less time for any single onion to accumulate attack attention.

Uptime under attack

Anubis clocks around 99.42 percent. Nexus is closer to 99.81 percent. The gap comes almost entirely from Nexus's deeper mirror rotation: when one address goes down, more spares are already up.

Which one to pick

New shopper who wants the widest selection: Nexus Market. Shopper who has already found the vendors they trust and cares mostly about clean escrow and predictable dispute handling: Anubis Market. Either one is a defensible choice.
