Torzon Knowledge Base

Strictly speaking: No. The Torzon darknet market operates on a "Zero Knowledge" security model. We do not store your passwords in plaintext, nor do we have a backdoor to reset 2FA settings.

If you have enabled PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and subsequently lost access to your private key (stored on Tails or GPG4Win), you are permanently locked out. This is a security feature, not a bug, designed to prevent law enforcement or hackers from social engineering support staff into resetting accounts. If you still have your mnemonic seed phrase (12-24 words provided at registration), you may be able to reset the password, but PGP 2FA locks are absolute.

Login loops usually occur due to one of three reasons:

• Phishing Site: You might be on a fake torzon official link. Phishers create loops to frustrate you into trying different passwords. Always verify the URL signature found on our Mirrors Page.
• DDOS Protection: During high-traffic attacks, the Torzon anti-bot system becomes aggressive. If you solve the captcha correctly but get redirected back, try refreshing your Tor identity (Ctrl+Shift+L) or use a "Rotational Mirror".
• Clock Skew: Ensure your system clock is synchronized (UTC). TOTP and session tokens rely on time synchronization.

Verifying a torzon onion mirror is the single most effective defense against account theft. Every legitimate page on our market contains a cryptographically signed message.

To verify: Scroll to the footer or visit the `/verify` endpoint. Copy the PGP block. Open your PGP software (Kleopatra/GnuPG), verify the text against the Torzon Admin Public Key (imported from a trusted source like Dread). If the signature is "Good", the site is safe. If it says "Bad Signature" or no signature is found, you are on a phishing site designed to steal your torzon wallet funds.

If you sent cryptocurrency to your torzon deposit address but the balance is still 0.00, please consider the following delays before opening a ticket:

• Bitcoin (BTC): Requires 2 network confirmations. If the Mempool is congested and you paid a low fee, this can take 2-6 hours. Check the transaction ID (TXID) on a blockchain explorer.
• Monero (XMR): Requires 10 confirmations. Due to ring signatures, the market wallet needs time to scan the blockchain. This usually takes 20-40 minutes.
• Phishing: Did you get the address from the actual market site while logged in? If you got the address from a PM, Telegram, or a "copy-paste" error caused by clipboard malware, the funds are lost.

We prioritize user safety, and Bitcoin is fundamentally unsafe for darknet transactions. Bitcoin uses a transparent public ledger. Blockchain analysis firms (Chainalysis, Elliptic) can trace funds from a KYC exchange (Coinbase, Binance) directly to known torzon market darknet clusters.

Monero (XMR) is private by default. It obfuscates the sender, receiver, and transaction amount using RingCT and Stealth Addresses. Using XMR breaks the forensic link between your real identity and your purchases. Torzon offers lower fees for XMR users to encourage better OpSec hygiene.

Deposits: Torzon does not charge a fee for incoming deposits. However, you must pay the network transaction fee from your personal wallet.

Withdrawals: Yes. We charge a dynamic network fee plus a small flat fee (approx $2-5 depending on coin) to cover the cost of mixing and operational security. This ensures that withdrawals sent from the market are batched and harder to trace back to the torzon official site.

Understanding this distinction is vital to avoiding scams:

Standard Escrow (Recommended): When you place an order, funds move to the Torzon Central Wallet. The vendor sees the order but cannot touch the funds. The money is released only when you click "Finalize" (after receiving goods) or the timer expires. If the package doesn't arrive, you can dispute and get a refund.

Finalize Early (FE): Funds are released to the vendor immediately upon marking the order as shipped. This removes all buyer protection. FE is reserved for top-tier vendors with impeccable reputations. Never use FE with a new vendor, no matter what discount they offer. FE scams are common among unverified sellers.

If your order is late or the product is flawed, you must open a dispute before the Auto-Finalize timer reaches zero. Once finalized, funds are irreversible.

The Process:

1. Click "Dispute" on the order page.
2. A moderator will join the chat between you and the vendor.
3. Evidence: You generally don't need to prove non-arrival (it's impossible). The vendor must prove they shipped it. For digital goods, you may need to provide video proof of the key failing.
4. Resolution: The moderator will decide to either refund the buyer (100%), release to vendor, or split the funds (50/50) based on the vendor's T&C and past history.

Standard timers on the torzon marketplace mirror depend on the type of good:

• Digital Goods: 48 hours.
• Physical (Domestic): 7-10 days.
• Physical (International): 14-21 days.

You can request a "Timer Extension" of 5 days if the package is delayed. Most honest vendors will grant this. If a vendor refuses an extension without reason, open a dispute immediately.

To open a torzon shop, register a normal account and click "Become a Vendor" in the dashboard. Requirements include:

• Vendor Bond: A security deposit of $500 (payable in BTC or XMR). This is non-refundable if you scam, but refundable upon closing shop honorably.
• Bond Waiver: Established vendors from other markets (Archetyp, Abacus, etc.) can apply for a waiver. You must provide PGP-signed proof of ownership of your profiles on those markets.
• Rules: No fentanyl, no weapons, no CP, no hitman services. Selling prohibited items results in an IP ban and bond seizure.

The Trusted Seller badge is awarded to vendors who have completed over 100 transactions with a 4.95+ star rating and zero unresolved disputes. These vendors often have FE privileges enabled. Buyers are safer dealing with Trusted Sellers, but should still exercise caution and read recent reviews on the torzon darkweb forums.
