! phishing — the only address you should paste into Tor Browser is one copied from this directory or from Nexus Market's announcement. Cloned storefronts are pixel-identical to legitimate mirrors; copy from a verified directory, never retype.
yes, as of . mirror status is re-checked on a 10-minute prober cycle; mirrors that miss 3 checks in a row drop from the table automatically.
which mirror should I use
the primary handles the bulk of traffic. backups absorb spillover and act as the ddos-challenge fail-over. there is no universal "best" — copy the primary first, switch to a backup if the challenge layer times out.
which payment methods are supported
BTC and XMR. monero (xmr) is the default for new accounts; bitcoin is supported but actively de-emphasised through ui nudges.
how do I make sure I have the right onion
copy the address from the table above using the copy button — never retype a 56-character v3 onion. Bookmark this directory, not any individual onion; the directory re-validates the rotation on every prober cycle.
