Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Nexus Market security and features

What is PGP 2FA and why is it mandatory on Nexus Market?

PGP 2FA (two-factor authentication) uses public-key cryptography to secure your account. You must decrypt a challenge message with your private PGP key to login. This is mandatory on Nexus Market and provides strong security even if your password is compromised.

Which cryptocurrency should I use on Nexus Market: Bitcoin, Monero, or Litecoin?

Monero (XMR) provides the strongest privacy with built-in obfuscation. Bitcoin requires CoinJoin mixing for privacy. Litecoin offers faster confirmations but weaker privacy than Monero. We recommend Monero for maximum anonymity.

How does the escrow system work on Nexus Market?

Nexus Market uses escrow-only transactions (no direct pay). Your payment is held by the marketplace until you confirm receipt. Vendors cannot access funds until you finalize the order. This protects buyers from scams.

What is multisig 2-of-3 escrow?

Multisig requires 2 of 3 parties (buyer, vendor, market) to sign transactions. If buyer and vendor agree, funds release without market involvement. If dispute occurs, market acts as mediator. This prevents market exit scams.

How do I stay safe from phishing sites pretending to be Nexus Market?

Only access onion links from Dread forum with PGP-signed verification. Check URLs character-by-character. Enable PGP 2FA (phishing sites cannot bypass). Verify anti-phishing code after login. Never trust clearnet mirror sites.

Is Nexus Market safe to use in 2025?

Nexus Market launched in November 2023 and lacks long-term track record. While it has mandatory PGP 2FA and escrow features, some scam detection sites have flagged concerns. Never trust any darknet marketplace completely. Practice proper OPSEC and only risk what you can afford to lose.
