Reference procedures for using Nexus Market over Tor

An open archive of numbered procedures covering how to reach the market, how to establish that the page you reached is genuine, how settlement works, and how to handle the situations that go wrong. Every document states why a step exists rather than only what to do, so it can be applied rather than followed.

Free to read and quote. No account, no payment, no advertising and nothing collected about visitors. This archive is not the market, processes no orders and holds no funds. It publishes the verified address set below so a reader has a source held in advance rather than one found during an outage.

Required check. Open in Tor Browser only. Before entering anything, compare the onion printed on the login screen against your browser address bar. A mismatch means the page is a copy and the tab should be closed. See NM-004.

Where to start

If you have not used the market before, read NM-001 and NM-002 in order, then NM-004 before you enter anything anywhere. Those three cover obtaining a browser you can trust, understanding what an address is, and establishing that the page in front of you is the market rather than a copy of it. Nothing else in the archive substitutes for them.

If you have used it before and something specific is unclear, the subject classes above are the faster route. Payment questions sit in NMT.pay, anything about accounts, counterparties or disputes sits in NMT.ops, and reachability failures are classified in NM-003.

Documents are versioned and dated because guidance without a date cannot be judged. Where a procedure changes, the version increments and the date moves rather than the text being quietly replaced.
