Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vortex Hub?

Vortex Hub is an independent information portal offering official mirror links, verified news, and practical guides for Vortex Market. We focus on privacy, secure access, and user empowerment.

How do I register safely?

Registration requires a username, secure password, and PIN for withdrawals. Always create a unique mnemonic phrase during sign-up — this is your only way to recover access if you lose your password. Do not reuse passwords from other sites!

What are the core rules for vendors?

Vendors must pass a strict verification process, pay a bond, and are permanently banned for any fraud or low-quality service. The market does not tolerate scams, spam, or low-effort listings.

How do I verify a mirror?

Only trust mirrors displayed at the top of this page. Check the site PGP key and compare it with the one below. Avoid mirrors shared on Telegram or random forums — phishing is common!

What can I do if my deposit is missing?

All deposits must be confirmed on the blockchain. If your deposit is missing after confirmation, contact support with your deposit address and TXID. Do NOT send funds via smart contracts — they won’t be credited.

What makes Monero (XMR) different from Bitcoin?

Monero transactions are fully private and untraceable by design. Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous; every transaction is visible. For maximum privacy, always use XMR.

How are orders finalized?

Orders auto-finalize after 14 days (7 for domestic). Early Finalization (FE) is available for highly trusted vendors only. You can manually finalize after 5-7 days once the product arrives.

How can I recover my account?

Account recovery requires your username and original mnemonic phrase. Without these, recovery is impossible by design — this protects against social engineering and account theft.

How does dispute resolution work?

If your order doesn’t arrive, dispute escrow in your account dashboard. A neutral moderator reviews the evidence and makes a decision. Finalized orders cannot be disputed.

Where can I find the official news feed?

The latest news, security alerts, and system updates are always published here on Vortex Hub and in the News section above. Watch for urgent posts about phishing or DDoS attempts.

How to Access Vortex Market

Download the official Tor Browser and keep it updated. Never use proxies or random browser plugins.
Open only onion mirrors listed here. Check that the domain, SSL certificate, and PGP key all match the official records.
Register with a secure password and unique mnemonic. Never reuse old passwords or mnemonic phrases from other sites.
After login, set up 2FA (PGP or TOTP). This will protect your account even if your password is compromised.
Deposit only via BTC or XMR. For privacy, prefer XMR. Always double-check the deposit address and never use smart contracts.
Escrow for every order. Never send money directly to vendors. Use the built-in escrow only.
Keep your device clean. Run Tor and market activity from a separate profile or device. Use strong device-level encryption and consider Tails OS for maximum anonymity.
Stay updated. Watch for urgent news here, and regularly re-verify mirrors and the PGP key.

Security & Anonymity Best Practices

PGP-encrypt all messages and login info. Never send plain text, even in support tickets.
Use 2FA (PGP or TOTP) for every login. If 2FA is not enabled, you are not secure!
Always use Monero (XMR) for high-value transactions. Bitcoin is traceable, XMR is private.
Store your mnemonic phrase offline. Never keep it in the cloud or in plaintext files.
Beware of phishing. Check domain spelling, certificate, and PGP. Bookmark Vortex Hub for future access.
Be careful with downloads. Never open unknown files or click suspicious links. Vortex does not distribute software.
Read news updates regularly. Phishing, exit scams, and new attack vectors are always evolving.
Do not discuss your Vortex username on forums or social media. Any public link to your account can make you a target.
