Vetted market listings
Mirrors, verification signals, and escrow context.
Kryzon Market
Wallet-free BTC and XMR market with 2-of-3 multisig escrow, anonymous signup, PGP challenge 2FA, and three signed onion mirrors.
Nexus Market
Longer-running Tor market focused on digital goods, security tools, electronics, and professional services. Its uptime record is the main signal; escrow appears market-custodial, so operator-trust risk is higher than a multisig flow.
Torzon Market
Custom-codebase market built around digital goods, services, security tools, moderator-led disputes, and vendor reputation. The appeal is the dispute desk and non-clone architecture; the tradeoff is custodial escrow unless multisig is later proven.

Framing risk
Match the tool to the adversary
Tor, VPNs, Signal, and hardened OS images are not interchangeable checkboxes. Each shifts what a watcher can see — none of them fixes sloppy identity linking.
Guides state the threat model they assume — from everyday ISP visibility to serious state attention — and where they stop being enough. Begin with our threat modeling primer.
Plan for slips: one mistake should not collapse your whole setup.
