Operational FAQ

The primary operational V3 onion address for Nexus Market is rmnvwgxnat4m4o6whqvh6dy7fhnasxa6cndufyrztgahtxwdhgr7thid.onion. Users should always verify this address against the signed message available on our Links page. Access requires the Tor Browser (version 12.0+) with JavaScript disabled for maximum security.

1. Import the official Nexus Market Public Key (0xNEXUS...) into your GPG keychain (Kleopatra/GPG4Win).
2. Copy the PGP signed message from the market login page.
3. Use the "Verify/Decrypt" function in your PGP software.
4. A valid signature confirms that the onion link provided in the message is authentic and controlled by the administration.

Operational Security (OPSEC) on Nexus Market involves:

• Using Tails OS booted from a USB drive.
• Encrypting all sensitive communication (shipping addresses) with the vendor's PGP key before pasting into the order form.
• Disabling JavaScript in Tor Browser (Standard -> Safer/Safest security level).
• Never reusing usernames or passwords from other markets.

Monero (XMR) offers cryptographically guaranteed privacy via Ring Signatures (hiding the sender), RingCT (hiding amounts), and Stealth Addresses (hiding the receiver). Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) or Litecoin (LTC), XMR transactions are untraceable on the blockchain. Many vendors mandate XMR to protect both themselves and buyers from blockchain analysis.

The walletless system operates on a per-order basis.

• Step 1: Proceed to checkout for an item.
• Step 2: The market generates a unique deposit address valid for 3 hours.
• Step 3: You transfer the exact amount required.
• Step 4: Once confirmed (2 confirmations for BTC/LTC, 10 for XMR), the order status updates to "Processing" and funds move to escrow.

This eliminates the need to hold a balance on the marketplace.

Deposits are free. Withdrawals (for refunds or vendor payouts) incur a flat 1% market fee plus the dynamic network mining fee. This fee structure supports server infrastructure and DDOS mitigation services.

Physical orders are held in escrow for a default period of 14 days. Buyers can request an extension of up to 7 additional days if shipping is delayed. Digital orders typically auto-finalize within 48 hours. Funds are only released to the vendor upon buyer finalization or timer expiration.

If an order is not received or is materially different from the description, the buyer must open a dispute before the escrow timer expires. A moderator will join the chat, review the vendor's shipping proof (tracking or digital logs), and the buyer's claim. Decisions are final.

Finalize Early (FE) allows specific trusted vendors to receive funds immediately upon marking an order as shipped, bypassing escrow. This privilege is reserved for vendors with 500+ sales and a 98%+ positive feedback rating. Buyers accept higher risk with FE orders and should review recent feedback carefully.

Tor network latency or DDOS attacks can cause timeouts. If rmnvwgxnat4m4o6whqvh6dy7fhnasxa6cndufyrztgahtxwdhgr7thid.onion is unresponsive, use one of our verified mirrors:
