Frequently Asked Questions
How often do mirrors change?
Dark Matter rotates mirrors regularly to prevent DDoS attacks and maintain service stability. We recommend checking this portal for updates at least weekly.
What if I lose my PGP key?
Your mnemonic recovery phrase can regenerate your PGP key. Store it securely offline. Without both, account recovery is impossible by design.
Why Monero only?
Monero provides true transaction privacy unlike Bitcoin. This protects both buyers and vendors from blockchain analysis.
