Nexus Market glossary
- Anti-DDoS queue
- A short wait page before the login that rate-limits bots so they cannot hammer the captcha.
- Escrow
- Holding a payment in a 2 of 3 multisig contract until buyer and vendor agree the order is done.
- Finalise-early (FE)
- Confirming receipt before a package arrives. It releases escrow to the vendor and removes the dispute path.
- Litecoin (LTC)
- A coin like Bitcoin that settles faster and cheaper, useful for small orders. Accepted on Nexus.
- Mirror
- A distinct onion address resolving to the same market. Nexus runs several for redundancy.
- Monero (XMR)
- A privacy coin that hides sender, receiver and amount. The default choice on Nexus.
- Onion address
- A fifty-six character v3 Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, never type it, and verify against the captcha.
- PGP signature
- A cryptographic signature proving who published a message and that it is unchanged. Nexus signs its mirror list.
- Recovery phrase
- The words that restore an account if the password is lost. Store it on paper. No login ever asks for it.
- Safest
- The top Tor Browser security level, scripting off everywhere. The correct setting for Nexus.
