Plain words
The terms around BlackOps Market links and Tor, in plain words: onion link, mirror, working link, PGP, escrow, recovery words, fake copy.
| Working link | A checked onion link that reaches the market right now. We re-check them on a short loop and pull any that stop answering. |
| Onion link | A 56 character Tor address ending in .onion. It is built from the site key, so copy it, check it, and never type it. |
| Mirror | A separate link that leads to the same market. Several run at once so one flood cannot take the market down. |
| Signed list | A list of current addresses signed with the market PGP key. If it checks out, the list came from the market unchanged. |
| PGP | Key based crypto used to check signed lists, hide your address from all but the vendor, and lock your login. |
| Escrow | A lock that holds your payment between paying and saying the order arrived, so neither side can just take it. |
| Recovery words | The phrase that gets an account back if you lose the password. Keep it on paper. No login asks for it. |
| Fake copy | A look-alike site at a close-looking link that swaps the address and the wallet to steal your login and coins. |
| Circuit | The path your Tor connection takes through relays. A new one often fixes a slow or dead link. |
| Confirmation | The network agreeing a payment is final. A deposit credits after enough of them. |
