There are three WTN market addresses and that is the whole set
Three onion strings. Not four, not a rotating dozen, not a list that quietly grows every week. What this feed was handed is what this feed prints.

the set, and nothing around it
Look up at the block above. That is the entire published set of wethenorth mirrors on this site. There is no fourth address held back, no premium list, and nothing that appears if you scroll far enough.
It matters that the number is small and fixed, because a long list is very easy to fake. Anybody can publish forty onion strings and call it a mirror index. Nobody can check forty strings, so nobody does, and the list stops being useful the moment it stops being checkable.
why more than one at all
A single address is a single point of failure. Onion services go quiet for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with anyone reading this, and a service with one published address gives its users nowhere to go when that happens.
Publishing several is the cheap fix. If one is not answering, you have two more to try, and you did not have to go looking anywhere new to find them.
no numbering, no order, no favourite
You will notice the addresses carry no labels. No primary, no backup, no number one. That is deliberate and it is not laziness.
To say one is primary, this feed would have to know something about how the three behave, and it does not, because it never opens them. Printing them flat is the only honest arrangement available.
The order they sit in is the order they were handed over. Read nothing into it.
what happens to a set like this over time
Address sets are not permanent. One can stop answering while the others keep going. That is a normal event and there is no announcement anywhere when it happens, because there is no channel that could carry one safely.
So the useful habit is not picking the right address. It is keeping all three where you can reach them, so that the day one stops working is a mildly annoying day rather than a day where you go searching.
keeping all three
Copy them with the buttons. Do not retype them, for reasons the post on typing the address goes into.
Put them somewhere you control and somewhere you will actually look. A file on your own machine is fine. A note synced to somebody else's cloud is a different decision entirely, and it is a decision, not a default.
replies
a reader askedIs one of these three the real WeTheNorth market and the others copies?
the answerThis feed is not in a position to answer that, and neither is any site that tells you it can. All three are printed as supplied. Verifying an address is something you do from a source you already trust, not something a page like this can do on your behalf.
a reader askedWhy not publish more wtn market mirrors to be safe?
the answerBecause a longer list is not a safer list. Every extra string is another thing nobody checked. Three that came from one place beats thirty that came from thirty places.
a reader askedIf all three stop working, what then?
the answerThen this feed is out of date and cannot help you. It will not invent a replacement address to fill the gap, and you should be suspicious of any page that suddenly produces one.
what this post is not Not a verification service. Nothing here proves an address is genuine, and nobody who reads this post has learned whether any of the three is answering right now.
