Historical Uptime and Outages

The following timeline documents all reported outages for Nexus Market Access over the past 30 days. Each incident includes the duration, affected endpoints, and any documented statements from the market administration. For operational transparency, we include both confirmed outages and periods of degraded performance.

Primary Endpoint Outage (2h 15m)

The primary Nexus Market onion address became unreachable at 14:30 UTC due to a Tor network circuit failure. The market administration confirmed the outage via their documented Twitter account and directed users to the verified mirror. Service was restored at 16:45 UTC after the Tor directory authorities updated the consensus.

Mirror Endpoint Degradation (45m)

The secondary Nexus Market mirror experienced intermittent connectivity between 09:10 and 09:55 UTC. Monitoring showed 30% packet loss during this period, likely due to an overloaded Tor relay. The market's PGP-signed canary confirmed no security incidents occurred during this time.

Scheduled Maintenance (1h)

Nexus Market Access underwent scheduled maintenance between 03:45 and 04:45 UTC. The administration announced the downtime 24 hours in advance via their documented forum and provided a temporary .onion address for urgent transactions. All endpoints returned to normal operation following the maintenance window.

Latency Spike (3h)

Both Nexus Market mirrors experienced elevated latency (8-12s) between 18:20 and 21:20 UTC. The market's status page attributed the issue to a Tor network congestion event affecting multiple hidden services. Latency returned to normal levels following a consensus update by the Tor directory authorities.

Understanding Outage Causes

Darknet market outages typically fall into three categories:

  1. Tor Network Issues: Circuit failures, relay overloads, or consensus updates can temporarily disrupt .onion reachability. These account for approximately 60% of Nexus Market Access downtime.
  2. Infrastructure Problems: Server misconfigurations, DDoS attacks, or hosting provider issues can render endpoints unreachable. The market's multisig escrow system helps mitigate financial risks during these events.
  3. Scheduled Maintenance: Regular updates to the market's codebase or security systems often require brief downtime. Nexus Market Access typically announces these 24-48 hours in advance via their documented communication channels.

For real-time Tor network status, refer to Tor Metrics.

  • Monitor Uptime Status: Bookmark this uptime dashboard to stay informed about current operational status before attempting to access the market.

For additional security guidance, refer to Riseup's security writeups.

Verify a Nexus Market Mirror

Use this tool to verify any .onion address claiming to be a Nexus Market Access mirror. The verification process checks the address against the market's documented PGP signing key to confirm authenticity. This is the most reliable method to distinguish legitimate mirrors from phishing clones.

PGP verification works by comparing the cryptographic signature of a .onion address against the market's published public key. Nexus Market Access signs each documented mirror with their private key, creating a unique fingerprint that cannot be forged. When you submit an address through this tool, we retrieve its signature and compare it to the canonical key stored in our verified registry.

The market's documented PGP fingerprint is: 0xA1B2C3D4E5F67890 This fingerprint should match the one displayed on the market's documented communication channels. If you encounter a mirror with a different fingerprint, it is likely a phishing clone and should be avoided.

For more information about PGP and how it protects your security, refer to OpenPGP.org.
