Plain words
The terms around mirrors, status and Tor, in plain words.
| Mirror | A second address that leads to the same market. A few run at once so one flood cannot take it down. |
| Uptime | How often a mirror answers when checked. Ours is measured on live Tor connections. |
| Circuit | The path your Tor connection takes through relays. A new one often fixes a slow or dead link. |
| Onion address | A 56 character Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, check it, never type it. |
| Outage | When the market backend, not the network, stops answering on every address at once. |
| Fake copy | A look-alike site at a close-looking address that steals your login and coins. |
