Is the market answering, and how to check
There is no public uptime counter for a hidden service, so the honest answer is a test you run yourself. This page is the test, and the limits of it.
The test
- Open the mirror list and copy the first address in full.
- Paste it into the Tor Browser and wait. A fresh circuit to a given onion takes ten to thirty seconds, and the first try is the slowest of the day.
- If the login page appears, the service is answering. That is the whole test, and it is enough for most purposes.
- If it does not, close the tab and open the second address. A bad circuit on the first one is the common cause, and the second address is a different path.
What the test can and cannot tell you
It tells you the hidden service answered a routing request from your network. It does not tell you your account is safe, that the wallet is reachable, or that the vendor you were about to buy from is still there. Those are inside the store, and a page like this one does not log in to check them, because a page that logs in on your behalf is a page that can take your password.
The distinction matters when a mirror is slow. A slow first load is almost always the circuit, not the market. A market that is truly down fails the same way on all three addresses across a whole day, which is a different signal and a rarer one.
When all three fail
Three addresses failing across a day is the honest reading of a moved or a down service. The useful move then is to look for a signed announcement from the operator, which is the only statement that outranks a clone’s landing page. Until one appears, the three addresses on this page are the set to keep testing, and a reload that fixes nothing is not evidence of anything.
