Account Creation & Security

The journey begins at the Torzon login screen. Unlike clear-net e-commerce sites like Amazon, Torzon Market prioritizes anonymity over convenience. You do not need an email address, phone number, or real identity. However, this lack of safeguards means you are entirely responsible for your own security.

1. Verifying the Landing Page

Before you even enter a username, you must ensure you are not on a phishing site. Phishing is the #1 cause of lost funds on the darknet.
The Protocol: Always cross-reference the Torzon URL you are using with a trusted source like Dread or DarkFail. On the login page, look for the "PGP Signed Message" link. Import the market's public key into your PGP software and verify the signature. If the signature is invalid, close the tab immediately.

2. The Registration Form

Click "Register". You will encounter a CAPTCHA. This is not a Google Recaptcha; it is a locally generated visual puzzle (often rotating circles or clock hands) designed to defeat OCR bots. Solve it to proceed.

Username: DarkBuyer2025 (Do not use your Reddit/Telegram handle!)

Password: ******** (Min 12 chars, mixed case, unique)

PIN: ****** (6 digits. Required for money transfers)

Login Phrase: "Blue Sky Today" (Anti-phishing verification)

PRO TIP: THE MNEMONIC SEED After clicking "Join", the screen will flash a 12-word mnemonic seed (e.g., apple river table...). WRITE THIS DOWN ON PAPER. This is the only way to recover your account if you lose your password. The admins cannot reset passwords because the database is encrypted. If you lose this seed, your account and funds are gone forever.

02

Funding Your Wallet (XMR)

Torzon official policy strictly enforces Monero (XMR) as the primary currency due to its privacy features (Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses). While some legacy mirrors accept Bitcoin, we strongly advise against it due to "Taint Analysis" risks.

1. The Wallet Isolation Model

Navigate to the top menu bar and click Wallet -> Deposit. You will see a QR code and a long alphanumeric string starting with '4' or '8'. This is your unique sub-address. Torzon generates a new sub-address for every single deposit request. This prevents blockchain observers from linking multiple deposits to a single user profile.

2. The "Exchange Ban" Issue

Do not send funds directly from an exchange (like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken) to the market. These exchanges use Chainalysis software. If they detect you are sending money to a darknet entity, they will freeze your account and report you.

The Correct Flow:
Exchange (Buy XMR) -> Your Personal Wallet (Cake/Monerujo) -> Torzon Market.
This intermediate step "breaks" the link between your identity (KYC) and the illegal market.

Transaction Delay: Monero requires 10 confirmations on the blockchain before the funds appear in your "Available Balance." This typically takes 20-30 minutes. Do not panic if the balance remains 0.00 immediately after sending. Check the History tab to see "Incoming (Pending)" transactions.

03

Advanced Vendor Vetting

With funds in your account, it's time to find a product. The Torzon darknet search engine is powerful, but navigating the "Vendor Trust" system requires skepticism.

1. Decoding the Metrics

Click on a vendor's name to view their profile. Look beyond the star rating.

Vendor: DeepSupply

Level: 5 (Veteran)

Trust Score: 99.2% Positive (1200 sales)

Dispute Rate: 1% (Very Healthy)

Last Active: Today (Green Dot)

2. Spotting Fake Reviews

Some vendors buy their own products to boost ratings.
Red Flags:
- Multiple reviews posted on the same day with generic text ("Good", "OK", "Thanks").
- Reviews appearing *before* it is physically possible for the item to arrive (e.g., 24 hours for international shipping).
- A vendor with 500 sales but only 2 months on the market.

Always look for detailed reviews: "Landed in 3 days to EU. Stealth was a birthday card. Product slightly overweight. 5/5". These are organic.

04

Checkout & PGP Encryption

This is the most critical step for your physical safety. A mistake here could leak your home address to law enforcement or hackers. Never rely on the "Auto-Encrypt" checkbox. Always encrypt manually.

1. Adding to Cart

Select the quantity and shipping option. "Priority Mail" usually includes tracking, while "Snail Mail" does not. We recommend tracked options for high-value orders, but be aware that tracking creates a digital record in the postal system.

2. The Encryption Workflow (Kleopatra)

On the checkout screen, you will see a text box for "Shipping Info" and the Vendor's PGP Key below it. Follow this exact sequence:

Step A: Copy the Vendor's PGP Key block (from `-----BEGIN` to `-----END`).
Step B: Open your PGP software (Kleopatra or GPG4Win). Click Tools -> Clipboard -> Certificate Import.
Step C: Open a text editor (Notepad). Type your address clearly:
John Doe
123 Main St
City, ZipCode
Country
Step D: Copy your address. Go to Kleopatra tray icon -> Clipboard -> Encrypt.
Step E: Select the Vendor's key as the recipient. Click "Encrypt".
Step F: Paste the resulting "Armored Block" into the Torzon checkout box.

WHY MANUAL ENCRYPTION? If you send your address in plain text and tick "Encrypt", the server sees your address before encrypting it. If the server is compromised or seized by police, they can read the logs. If you encrypt locally on your PC, the server only ever sees gibberish.

05

Delivery: The "Clean Drop"

Once the order is "Shipped", the waiting game begins. The Torzon official recommendation is to use your real name and address ("Clean Drop").

1. Fake Names vs Real Names

Do not use a fake name. Postal workers know who lives on their route. If a package arrives for "Alan Smith" at a house owned by "Boris Johnson", the mailman may mark it as "Addressee Unknown" or flag it for inspection. Using your real name blends in with normal mail volume.

2. Controlled Delivery (CD) Awareness

If a package requires a signature and you didn't order signed delivery, refuse it. If the postman asks suspicious questions, deny knowledge. A "CD" is when police pose as mailmen to arrest you upon acceptance of the package.
Note: This is extremely rare for small, personal-amount orders, but remains a possibility.

3. Finalizing the Order

When the package arrives and you have verified the contents, log in to Torzon and click "Finalize Order". This releases the funds to the vendor. This is crucial etiquette. Vendors hate buyers who let the timer run out, as it delays their payment for weeks.

06

Dispute Resolution

If the package does not arrive after the estimated time, do not panic. The Torzon market escrow is your safety net.

1. Communication First

Before clicking the red button, message the vendor. "Hi, order #123 hasn't landed yet. Can you check tracking?" 90% of issues are resolved here. Sometimes packages are just delayed by customs.

2. The Dispute Process

If the vendor ignores you or the tracking shows "Seized", open a dispute before the Auto-Finalize timer runs out. Once an order auto-finalizes, the money is gone forever.
A moderator will join the chat. Provide evidence calmly. If you are a new buyer with 0 feedback and claim a package didn't arrive from a Top Rated Vendor, you will likely lose unless you have proof (e.g., tracking showing "Returned to Sender").

07

Post-Purchase Hygiene

The transaction isn't over until the traces are gone.

1. Wipe Metadata: If you took photos of the product to leave a review, use a tool like "ExifCleaner" to remove GPS and camera data before uploading.

2. Delete the PGP Key: Once the order is complete, remove the vendor's PGP key from your keyring to reduce clutter.

3. Clean the Clipboard: If you copied your address or private keys, clear your clipboard history immediately. If you are using Tails OS, this happens automatically on shutdown.

By following this manual, you ensure that your experience on the Torzon darknet market is not only successful but secure. Complacency is the enemy of anonymity.
