Nexus market mirrors, as published on this site

This site does not probe an onion, so nothing here is a claim that a given address opens for you right now.
A directory of nexus market links can go offline for a hundred quiet reasons. The market it pointed at is not one of them by default. This card is about the state right after the aggregator is gone.
What it is
A directory is a page a reader learned to open first, because it had the three or four onion lines under a familiar heading. When that page returns a 404 or fails to load at all, the reader has lost a shortcut. The reader has not lost the market and has not lost the strings.
The three lines on the panel above are the copy this site holds. If the reader had those three lines in a trusted note on their side, that note is unchanged. The directory going offline does not reach across the reader and edit the note.
Lifeline
- Directory answering
- Directory returns a 404
- Comes back, moves, or stays gone
What the disappearance does not prove
- It does not prove the market is down. Two sites can go up and down on independent clocks.
- It does not prove the strings the directory used to publish were wrong.
- It does not prove a seizure of the market. A seizure of a directory can happen alone.
- It does not put a date on when the directory went away.
What the reader still holds
- The panel above
- This site is not the directory that went offline. The three lines here are on the panel now.
- Any private copy
- A line copied off the directory yesterday, or a week ago, or longer, is still a copy of that line as it was on the directory then. Compare it to the panel above.
- The addresses reference page
- The three lines side by side, with a dossier per line, are on the addresses page here.
- Other paths
- The paths rubric has a card per route to a nexus market address. A directory going offline is a lost route, not a lost destination.
A small next check
- Take any line the reader had off the vanished directory.
- Compare it, block by block, against a line on the panel above.
- If the vanity head, body and suffix all agree, the copy is fine and the reader can use it.
- If the copy disagrees with everything on the panel above, treat it as an unknown string and do not paste it into anything.
Ordinary reasons a directory goes away
A directory is a hosted page in the same sense as any other page. Its onion can be taken down by the operator, can be dropped by whoever hosts it, can be paused for maintenance and can time out on a bad circuit for long enough that a reader assumes it is gone. None of those reasons are about the market a directory happens to list.
A reader who felt the directory was the site is often surprised that the strings survive it. The panel above did not travel through the directory. The two are separate files on separate hosts, and either can be up when the other is down.
What to do with the notes the directory left behind
- Notes made from the directory yesterday
- Cross each note against the panel above. A note that matches a line here is a current copy. A note that does not match is either older than the directory update or copied from a stale part of the directory.
- Screenshots taken from the directory
- A screenshot of a directory page is a picture, not a live copy. The strings on the screenshot are the strings at picture time. Cross them the same way.
- Bookmarks pinned to the directory
- A bookmark to a directory is a saved directory string, not a saved market string. When the directory goes away, the bookmark goes stale in its own right. That is a separate card too.
- A short link that used to redirect through the directory
- A short link is a stored redirect. If the target has moved, the short link opens nothing.
Routes that do not depend on a specific directory
- Type the address in from a paper note.
- Paste from a password manager on the reader side.
- Restore from a bookmark that pins a line off the panel above and not off any directory.
- Rebuild from a signed announcement the reader has already verified.
- Read the string off a printed page in a drawer, if the reader had printed one.
Engagement
What this card does not say
- It does not name the directory or any other aggregator.
- It does not promise the directory will return.
- It does not put a date on this page.
- It does not rank the routes that do not depend on a directory against one another.
