How this list works
A catalogue that spends forty pages telling you not to take claims at face value owes you an account of its own, including the parts where it is weakest.
The four facts used for everything
| Fact | What it is | Why it is usable |
|---|---|---|
| Year of arrival | Roughly when the market first appeared | Cannot be manufactured with money |
| Coins accepted | What the market advertises at checkout | A claim, and one you can test in a minute |
| Published address count | How many strings are in circulation | Countable from any published set |
| Language and region | Who it is presented to | Visible from the market itself |
That is the entire toolkit. Everything on this site sorts, filters and compares on those four and nothing else.
What was deliberately refused
| Not here | Why |
|---|---|
| Uptime or a status light | Nothing here is monitored, and a status nobody maintains is worse than none |
| A last checked date | It would be a claim about right now that stops being true by lunchtime |
| Safety or trust scores | Not measurable from outside by anybody, including this site |
| A best market | Depends on a constraint the reader has and the catalogue does not |
| Escrow and dispute descriptions | Only knowable by taking each market at its word, or by having an account and a problem |
| Listing counts | Change daily and cannot be counted from outside |
| Paid placement | Never offered, never accepted, stated here so you can hold the site to it |
Where the addresses came from
From published sets, copied as given, in the order they were published, with no labels and no numbering. Nothing was tested, opened or probed, and this site will never do that, because a claim about whether an address is up would be stale within the hour and would need a monitoring apparatus that does not exist here.
Twenty nine addresses across nine markets. Eight markets publish three each and one publishes five.
What a published address claims
A published address is one claim only: this string is in circulation. It does not claim the address opens, and it does not claim that whatever answers there is the market. Those are three different statements and only the first is being made anywhere on this site.
Where this catalogue is most likely wrong
- Address sets drift. They were current when written down and stop being current on no schedule. Compare against a second source before relying on one.
- Coin support changes without announcement, and it is the fact most likely to be out of date here.
- Arrival years are approximate. Markets do not have registration certificates, and a year is assembled from when a thing became visible.
- Nothing here describes behaviour. How a market handles a dispute is the thing that actually matters and is exactly what an outsider cannot see.
Why the list is nine
Because those are the ones with enough history to say something dull and true about. A longer list would mean adding rows with no track record, and a catalogue that treats a two week old shop the same as one running since 2021 has stopped sorting. When an entry stops publishing addresses it comes off, without a farewell paragraph.
The modification date
The date in the page markup follows real edits to the text, not the day you happen to be reading. A date that advances every morning while nothing changes is the most common dishonest signal on sites covering this ground, and it is worth naming rather than quietly avoiding.
What this site cannot do for you
Reach an account, release an order, pass a message to anybody, or find out whether an address is working. It is a catalogue written by somebody with no relationship to any of the nine, which is the only position from which a catalogue like this is worth anything and also the position from which it can do nothing practical on your behalf.
