The first-time approach

For readers who have never opened Tor. Each article below walks the whole way to the nexus market address once, at a normal pace, from cold.

This group is about the very first approach. The reader has heard the phrase nexus market, wants to look, and has no browser set up and no bookmarks saved. The articles are longform, not checklists, and they explain the boring bits that never make it into a link list.

Every article on this group carries the three nexus market addresses at the top, without ranking, and without any uptime claim. This site does not probe them.

• The first-time approach when a friend sent me a note

  A friend wrote it down for me and I had never touched Tor before. I walked from that note to the nexus market address without missing a step.

• The first-time approach out of a forum thread

  The thread was three pages long and had six versions of the address. I chose one, and then I ignored the thread.

• The first-time approach starting on a search page

  I typed the phrase into a regular search engine and the first ten results were mostly not what I wanted. This is what I did next.

• The first-time approach after reading a news article

  The news article was long and detailed and left out the address on purpose. I walked from the article to the addresses block here.

• The first-time approach after hearing it on a podcast

  I heard the phrase and could not spell it back. This is the shape of the approach when the starting point is your ear, not a page.
