CatalogueThe nine markets

Market ยท since 2023

Mars Market

On every fact this catalogue can check, this market and Nexus are the same: same year, same three coins, same number of addresses, same audience. That is genuinely useful to know, and it is a better page than pretending a difference exists.

Mars Market

Three published addresses. Since 2023, takes BTC, LTC and XMR.

When two entries match on every column

The temptation is to invent a tiebreaker. Directories do it constantly, which is where phrases like best looking interface and best for beginners come from, and none of those are facts about anything. They are a writer filling a column because an empty one looks like an incomplete page.

The honest version is that this catalogue cannot separate these two, and that the separation has to come from something it does not have: what other people report about each, which listings you actually want, and which one you already have an account on.

How to read a ranked list after this

A directory that ranks two identical entries is telling you about the directory, not about the markets. If you see one of these placed above the other with a confident sentence attached, the sentence was written to fill space or to move traffic.

What actually separates markets that look the same

  • What is listed. The only thing that matters most of the time, and the one thing no catalogue can summarise honestly.
  • Where people report problems. Outside this site, in places where buyers write about specific orders.
  • Which one you already use. A second account on a market you know beats a first account on one you do not.
  • Nothing on this page. Age, coins and address count are tiebreakers only when they differ, and here they do not.

Who it suits

Exactly the same reader as Nexus: somebody holding Bitcoin, Litecoin or Monero who wants a market with a couple of years behind it. The realistic use for this page is as the second name on your list rather than the first, which is what keeping a second market is about, and it is a more sensible use of a near identical entry than trying to crown one.

What none of this tells you

The same limits as every page here, with one addition. When two markets are indistinguishable on the checkable facts, the difference between them is entirely in the part nobody outside can see, so any confidence about which is better is coming from somewhere other than evidence.
