Survey

Surveyed by access model

Queues, captchas and mirror pools, compared.

How a market handles the door tells you how it handles pressure. The two variables that matter are the depth of the signed mirror pool, which is your redundancy when an address is flooded, and whether the market runs a queue or a captcha trap at the entrance.

TorZon runs the deepest pool on the chart at seven live onions, paired with a server-side access queue that holds bots at the door. Mars and Osiris both lean on deep pools for uptime. The rest run a smaller signed set with a captcha built to frustrate automation. The mirror count in the field below is a direct read on how much room you have to rotate when one address stalls. More is better when the failure you fear is downtime.
