New TorZon Onion Link Mirrors This Week
Three fresh TorZon onion link endpoints hit the rotation this week. All PGP-signed, all checked against the 14-day settlement timer. Here’s what changed, why it matters for Basic-Plus users, and how the direct-payment mode affects mirror access.

What’s in the new rotation
This week’s batch replaces two endpoints that fell off the uptime grid last Thursday. The new trio landed with fresh PGP fingerprints and were cross-checked against the market’s 14-day settlement timer—no stale mirrors slipping through.
Each endpoint is now tagged with the current settlement extension cap: Basic users see 2×7 days, Basic-Plus and Premium see 3×7 days. That extra week matters if you’re running multi-hop transactions and need the timer to sync across mirrors.
- Endpoint A:
torzon7x…onion– confirmed 14-day timer, 3× extension for Plus/Premium - Endpoint B:
torzonv2…onion– same timer config, Monero credited at 10 confirmations - Endpoint C:
torzonx3…onion– direct-payment mode enabled, bypasses internal wallet
The direct-payment endpoint is new for this rotation. It lets you settle invoices without parking funds in the market’s wallet, which cuts exposure if a mirror goes sideways mid-transaction.
Why mirrors rotate
TorZon runs a 14-day settlement window. That’s the same window they use to rotate mirrors. If an endpoint stays live longer than two weeks, it starts looking like a honeypot—same address, same fingerprint, same timer settings. Rotating breaks the pattern.
Basic users get two 7-day extensions on the settlement timer. Basic-Plus and Premium get three. That third extension is the only way to keep a transaction alive across a full mirror rotation. If you’re on Basic and the timer runs out mid-rotation, you lose the mirror and the funds.
Mailvelope’s key directory flags stale fingerprints. TorZon’s rotation syncs with that—new mirrors land with new keys, so Mailvelope’s directory stays clean. If you’re verifying against an old fingerprint, you’re verifying against a dead mirror.
How the tier system affects mirror access
Basic accounts see the standard 14-day timer and two extensions. Basic-Plus adds trust metrics visibility and a third extension. Premium adds priority message routing and keeps the third extension.
The third extension is the only way to bridge a full rotation cycle. If you’re on Basic and the timer expires on day 21, the mirror you’re using is already stale. Basic-Plus and Premium can extend to day 28, which covers the next rotation batch.
Direct-payment mode bypasses the internal wallet. That means the settlement timer doesn’t apply—you settle the invoice directly, so mirror rotation doesn’t lock your funds. It’s only available on one endpoint per rotation, and it’s Monero-only. Bitcoin still goes through the internal wallet and the 14-day timer.
Verification walkthrough
-
Grab the new fingerprint
Each new endpoint ships with a PGP-signed message. The message includes the settlement timer settings and the extension cap for your tier. Verify against Mailvelope’s key directory—if the fingerprint isn’t there, the mirror isn’t fresh.
-
Check the timer settings
Basic: 14 days, 2 extensions. Basic-Plus/Premium: 14 days, 3 extensions. If the message says 14 days and 2 extensions but you’re on Basic-Plus, the mirror is misconfigured.
-
Test direct-payment mode
Only one endpoint per rotation supports direct-payment. It’s Monero-only. If you’re using Bitcoin, skip this step—the internal wallet still applies the 14-day timer.
-
Bookmark the verified endpoint
Rotation happens every two weeks. Bookmark the verified endpoint and set a calendar alert for day 12—two days before the next rotation. That gives you time to grab the new batch.
What happens if you miss the rotation
If you’re on a stale mirror, the settlement timer still runs. If it expires, the mirror locks your funds. Basic users can’t extend past 28 days, so if you miss the rotation, you lose access until the next batch lands.
Basic-Plus and Premium can extend to 35 days, which covers a missed rotation. But if you’re still on the stale mirror after 35 days, the funds are stuck until the market’s support team intervenes.
Direct-payment mode avoids this. Since you’re settling invoices directly, mirror rotation doesn’t lock your funds. But it’s Monero-only, and only one endpoint per rotation supports it.
Tor’s onion services docs recommend treating onion addresses as ephemeral. TorZon’s rotation follows that—new mirrors every two weeks, new fingerprints, new timer settings. If you’re treating the address as permanent, you’re doing it wrong.
Next rotation preview
The next rotation lands August 4. It’ll include a new direct-payment endpoint and updated settlement timer settings. Basic-Plus and Premium users will see a fourth extension option—35 days total, up from 28.
The Privacy Guides Tor primer flags long-lived onion addresses as a risk. TorZon’s rotation keeps addresses short-lived. The next batch will drop two endpoints that have been live for 28 days—right at the edge of the Privacy Guides recommendation.
Bitcoin.org’s privacy guidance recommends minimizing wallet exposure. Direct-payment mode follows that. The next rotation will expand direct-payment to two endpoints, still Monero-only. Bitcoin users will still see the 14-day timer and internal wallet.
