Run the check before you sign in. Open these in Tor Browser only. When the login screen loads, compare the onion printed on the page against your address bar, reading from the end. If they differ, close the tab.

All three lead to the same place, with the same account and the same open orders. Choosing between them is about your path today rather than about the addresses themselves.

What is genuinely the same

  • Your account, balance, orders and messages. There is one of each behind all three.
  • The listings, the vendors and the prices.
  • Escrow and dispute handling.

What genuinely differs

Only the path. Each address builds its own circuits, so on any given evening one may be quick and another sluggish, and that ordering can reverse within the hour. There is no permanently best address, which is why this site does not publish a ranking.

A sensible routine

  1. Try the address you used last time. Familiarity costs nothing and it usually just works.
  2. If it is slow or errors twice, move down the list rather than retrying the same one.
  3. Once one is working, stay on it for the whole session. Switching mid session throws away a warm circuit and logs you out.

Do not open all three at once

It feels efficient and it is not. Three parallel connections compete for your own bandwidth, and sessions on separate origins interfere with each other so you end up signed out of two of them. One at a time is faster in practice.

Saving them properly

Keep all three where you can reach them without searching. That habit is worth more than any speed comparison, because the reason people end up on cloned addresses is never speed. It is having nowhere to look when the familiar one goes quiet.
