Plain words
The jargon around BlackOps and Tor in plain words.
| Onion address | A 56 character Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, never type it, check it against the login screen. |
| Mirror | A second address that leads to the same market. A few run at once so one flood cannot take it down. |
| Escrow | A lock that holds your payment between paying and saying the order arrived. |
| Releasing early (FE) | Letting the escrow pay out before the order arrives. It kills your dispute and is a common way to lose money. |
| PGP | Key based crypto for checking signed lists, hiding your address from all but the vendor, and locking your login. |
| Recovery words | The phrase that gets an account back if you lose the password. Keep it on paper. No login asks for it. |
| Fake copy | A look-alike site that swaps the address and the wallet to steal your login and coins. |
