Nexus Market Mirrors and Live Status
The current Nexus Market mirrors, why several exist, and how to pick the one that loads fastest right now.
A mirror is an alternate onion address that points at the same Nexus Market back end. Running several at once is a resilience measure: when one address is under heavy load, the others keep the storefront reachable. Every mirror shares your account, your balance, and your order history, so it makes no difference which one you use beyond raw speed.
How many mirrors there are
Nexus publishes a Primary and two backups. The set is kept small on purpose so it is easy to verify and hard to flood across the board. You can see all of them with live indicators on the main profile, each showing uptime and latency.
Choosing a mirror
Start with the Primary. If it stalls at the connection screen, switch to the second, then the third. Tor builds a new path each time, so a different mirror often connects when the first one will not. Latency figures next to each entry give you a hint, but they move with network conditions and are only a rough guide.
Copying a mirror address
Use the copy control on each row. It places the full http://...onion string on your clipboard so you can paste it straight into the Tor Browser at the Safest security level. Do not retype a mirror by hand, because one wrong character takes you off Nexus entirely. If every entry looks slow, it is usually the network rather than the platform, and waiting a short while helps.
