Mars Market addresses
Three published addresses for the same market. Copy rather than retype, and check the signature once you are through.

This list is published, not monitored. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and the check that settles it takes under a minute.
Welcome
Most writing about markets tells you what to do and skips what it will be like. That gap is where people get anxious, and anxious people make the mistakes this reference is trying to prevent. Every procedure page here answers the same eight questions in the same order, so once you have read one you know where to look on all of them.
How this reference is organised
Four sections. If something is broken right now, start with the third. If you have not done any of this before, start with the first and read in order.
| Section | What is in it | Read it when |
|---|---|---|
| Before you start | Five things every procedure assumes you already have | Once, before anything else |
| Procedures | Ten steps, each with the same eight headings | Before you do that step for the first time |
| When something is wrong | Eight presentations, sorted by what you are looking at | Something is happening now |
| Reference | Addresses, risks and limits, definitions, questions | When another page sends you here |
The eight questions every procedure page answers
Borrowed from medical information leaflets, which have spent decades working out what a person actually wants to know before something happens to them.
- What this step is
- A plain description, without assuming you know why it exists.
- How to prepare
- What has to be in place first. Usually one or two things from the preparation section.
- What you will see
- The screen, the wait, the wording. Knowing this in advance is most of what stops panic.
- How it works
- The mechanism underneath, to the depth that changes what you should do.
- How long it takes
- Realistic figures, including the part people find slow.
- What you will experience
- The subjective version. Waiting, uncertainty, the moment it feels like something went wrong when it did not.
- What can go wrong
- Failure modes in order of how often they happen.
- Benefits and limits
- What the step protects you from, and what it does not touch.

What this site does not do
It does not monitor the addresses at the top of the page. It publishes them and says so, because an availability figure it cannot back would be worse than no figure at all. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and only the signature check separates the two.
It also carries no advertising, takes no money from any market and has nothing to sell. That is worth stating plainly, because the usual business model for a site covering this ground is to be paid by the thing it covers, and readers cannot tell from outside which sites are. Nothing here covers products, sourcing, packaging or avoiding detection.
Common questions
Which of the three addresses is the right one?
All three are published addresses for the same market. None of them prove anything by appearing here, which is why every page points at the check rather than asking you to trust the list.
Is this the market itself?
No. This is a reference site written by readers. It cannot recover an account, refund an order, or act on your behalf in any way.
Why is there no uptime number anywhere?
Because nothing here measures anything. Figures published elsewhere almost always measure whether an address answered, which a convincing fake also does, usually faster.
