This site does not probe an onion, so nothing here is a claim that a given address opens for you right now.
A rotation means the first line of the panel above is now a different string. The vanity prefix at the front still reads as nexus. The tail is what has moved. This card says what is still true.
What it is
The operator of this site has been handed a new primary nexus market address and the router has picked it up. The shape of the new string is the same as any v3 onion, which is why the panel above looks the way it always looks. What is different is the tail of the top line and, downstream of that, every note and every printout that pinned the old top string in words.
The two lines under the primary are, in most rotations, the same strings the reader has already been reading. A copy of either of them saved on a trusted surface is not stale. Only the top slot has moved.
Lifeline
- Old primary on the panel
- New primary in the top slot
- Kept, or rotated again
What is still on the panel
- The panel above still holds three lines. A rotation does not shrink it to two.
- The second and third lines are the ones a reader who has been on the site has read before.
- Every line on the panel is still a lowercase run followed by
.onion. No line has grown a query, a path or a subdomain. - The vanity prefix at the front of every line still reads as the four letters that spell nexus, plus a short readable head.
What has to be reread
- Any note that pinned the old primary in words
- A hand written line, a sticker or a plain text file on disk that stored the old top string in full is now a note about a string that has moved. The note is not wrong about the market, it is out of date about the slot.
- Any short link that redirected to the old primary
- If the redirect target has not been updated, the short link is now pointing at a string that either resolves elsewhere or does not resolve at all. The short link itself has not moved.
- A bookmark in tor browser
- A bookmark pinned to the old top string is now a stale bookmark. That is its own file card and there is a link at the foot of this one.
- A qr code on a sticker
- A code that encodes the old top string still decodes to the same characters. The characters are now the wrong ones for the top slot. The sticker is not lying, it is out of sync.
The small next check
Read the top line of the addresses panel above one block at a time. The first block should still start with the letters that spell nexus. The last block is where the rotation shows. If the first block does not spell as expected, this site is not the site the reader thought it was, and closing the tab is the honest next move.
- Read the first four characters of the new top line.
- Read the last four characters of the new top line.
- Compare with any trusted copy the reader holds under the mirrors rubric.
- Cross the old line out on any surface that is going to be reused, and write the new line under it in the same hand.
- Do not paste the new top line onto a surface that is public.
Why the slot moves at all
A v3 onion is a long lived string in a technical sense. The service does not have to rotate it every week and most services do not. When the top slot on a panel like this one moves, the ordinary reasons are that the operator wanted to retire the old string, or the old string was being probed too hard from outside, or an additional vanity prefix had been mined and looked cleaner. Whichever reason applies, the reader does not need to know it to use the new top line.
A reader who wants to keep a mental picture of the panel can think of the three slots as a shelf. The top slot is the one that is most likely to move because it is the one under the most attention. The second and third slots move more rarely.
What to write on the surface next to the note
- A short label with the vanity head
- Writing the first four characters of the new top line under the crossed out line keeps the note honest without repeating the whole 56 character run.
- A qualitative note, not a date
- A short line like "top slot" is a label. A calendar date on the note ages badly and this site does not carry dates for the same reason.
- A separation between the three slots
- A single note with three lines, one per slot, ages better than three separate notes. The rotation only touches one line.
Engagement
What this card does not say
- It does not say why the top string was rotated.
- It does not say what happened to the string that used to sit there.
- It does not put a date on when the change landed.
- It does not rank the new top line against the two under it.
- It does not claim the rotation was announced anywhere in advance.
