Crown Market glossary
- Escrow
- Holding a payment in a 2 of 3 multisig contract until buyer and vendor agree the order is done.
- Finalise-early (FE)
- Confirming receipt before a package arrives. It releases escrow to the vendor and removes the dispute path.
- Mirror
- A distinct onion address resolving to the same market. Crown runs several for redundancy.
- Monero (XMR)
- A privacy coin that hides sender, receiver and amount. The default choice on Crown.
- Onion address
- A fifty-six character v3 Tor address ending in .onion. Copy it, never type it, and verify against the captcha.
- PGP by default
- Crown turns PGP encryption on vendor messages on automatically, removing a common footgun.
- PGP signature
- A cryptographic signature proving who published a message and that it is unchanged. Crown signs its mirror list.
- Recovery phrase
- The words that restore an account if the password is lost. Store it on paper. No login ever asks for it.
- Safest
- The top Tor Browser security level, scripting off everywhere. The correct setting for Crown.
