Field notes on TorZon Market
Editorial notes on TorZon Market, rotations, phishing waves, reader mail, operational observations. New posts as events happen, not on a schedule.
DDoS wave through the first weekend held
A three-day coordinated wave hit through Friday to Sunday. All six mirrors held. Queue times peaked around four minutes.
A note on vendor bond changes
The operator adjusted the new-vendor bond schedule this month. Not a functional change, but worth noting.
Mirror 06 introduced this week
The set went from five to six with a signed operator post on Tuesday. Fingerprint on file since launch matches.
Why the anti-DDoS queue feels slow (and why that is fine)
A reader complaint prompted a longer look at how the queue is calibrated. It is doing exactly what it should.
The captcha check actually works
A phishing wave through late February tried to fool the address-in-captcha check. It did not work. Three notes on why.
Reader question, why six mirrors
One reader asked why the current TorZon rotation runs six mirrors rather than three. Short answer, redundancy math.
