Escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and regulates payment of funds required for two parties involved in a transaction. On Vortex Market, funds remain locked until the buyer confirms receipt of goods. This protects both buyers from non-delivery and vendors from chargebacks. Multi-signature escrow adds another security layer by requiring multiple cryptographic signatures to release funds.
Monero (XMR) is the preferred cryptocurrency for privacy-conscious users. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero transactions are private by default. Ring signatures mix your transaction with others, making tracing impossible. Stealth addresses ensure recipients remain anonymous. For maximum operational security, Monero provides the strongest privacy guarantees available in cryptocurrency.
All vendors on Vortex Market undergo strict verification before listing products. Requirements include: $500 refundable bond, identity verification through PGP, proof of product sourcing, and agreement to platform terms. Vendors maintain ratings based on delivery success, communication, and product quality. Low-rated vendors face suspension or permanent ban.
When buyer and vendor cannot reach agreement, Vortex Market staff mediates disputes. The process involves: evidence submission from both parties, review by trained moderators, and final decision within 48-72 hours. Moderators examine shipping proof, communication logs, and product descriptions. Fair resolution protects honest participants from bad actors.
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encrypts messages so only the intended recipient can read them. On Vortex Market, PGP is mandatory for sensitive communications. Users generate a key pair: public key (shared freely) and private key (kept secret). Messages encrypted with your public key can only be decrypted with your private key, ensuring secure vendor communication.
Maintaining anonymity requires consistent operational security (OPSEC). Best practices include: using Tor browser exclusively, never reusing usernames or passwords, accessing markets only through verified mirrors, using dedicated devices, avoiding personal information in communications, and using XMR instead of BTC when possible.
