Awazon Market FAQ

Yes, if you use one of the three official v3 onion addresses published by the Awazon team. All three start with "awazon". The site runs without JavaScript and works when the Tor Browser security slider is set to Safer. That reduces the attack surface compared to sites that rely on scripts. Still, do not type the address from a chat or a Telegram message. Verify it against a PGP-signed post on the Dread forum. A single wrong character in the onion string opens a different site entirely.

Awazon operates three official mirrors, all v3 onions with the awazon prefix. The team rotates them periodically. After rotation, the old address stops resolving. tormarketawazon.online lists the current addresses and updates within an hour of a confirmed rotation. If a friend sends you a link that starts with "awarzon" or "anwazon", treat it as fake until proven otherwise.

Install Tor Browser, wait for the circuit to build, then paste the full onion address into the address bar. Set the security slider to Safer. The site loads without JavaScript, so you do not need to override anything. On first visit you may hit an Access Queue page. Leave it alone. Do not refresh. Refreshing resets your position. Wait until the page clears on its own.

It appears right after a mirror rotation when many users flood the new address at once. The queue throttles traffic so the server does not collapse. Your only job is to wait. Close other tabs if you can, but do not reload the page. Each refresh drops you back to the tail of the line. Most queues clear in under ten minutes during normal traffic spikes.

Yes. Awazon uses a user-only model. You cannot open the catalog without registering and logging in. There is no guest browsing. During registration you receive a mnemonic seed. Write it down on paper or store it offline. Email recovery does not exist. If you lose both your password and the seed, the account is gone. PGP-based two-factor authentication is part of the login flow.

Both are accepted. Bitcoin deposits clear after 1 to 3 confirmations, which takes roughly 10 to 60 minutes depending on network load. Monero needs about 10 confirmations and settles in approximately 20 minutes. If speed matters, XMR is faster. If you already hold BTC and want to avoid an exchange swap, BTC is fine. Neither choice affects escrow terms. The 2-of-3 multisig covers both coins equally.

For BTC, expect 10 to 60 minutes. The lower end applies when the mempool is light. The upper end shows up during fee spikes. For XMR, the figure sits around 20 minutes because the protocol finality is predictable. If a deposit has not cleared after twice the expected window, check your wallet transaction history first. Then open a thread in the Awazon section on Dread.

The dead address stops resolving in Tor Browser. You switch to one of the remaining two mirrors. The team posts a PGP-signed announcement on Dread explaining the rotation. tormarketawazon.online reflects the change within an hour of that post. Do not trust random Reddit threads or Discord pings for the new address. Those channels attract phishing bots within minutes of a rotation.

Go to Dread, find the Awazon team thread, and check the PGP signature on the latest mirror announcement. Compare the signed onion string character by character with what you typed in Tor Browser. If the signature verifies against the team key you saved earlier, the address is real. If you never saved the public key, you cannot verify independently. That is a gap to close before your next login.

You cannot recover the account. Awazon has no email reset, no SMS fallback, no customer service override. The mnemonic seed is the only recovery mechanism. Without it, the profile, order history, and escrow balances stay locked. This is not a bug. It is the design. Before you register, decide where the seed lives. A photo on your phone is not enough. A note in a password manager that syncs to the cloud is risky. Paper in a drawer is the baseline most experienced users settle on.
