the channel about the screens before the market
The getting in channel
Most of what people call a problem with wethenorth market happens before the market appears. This channel is about those screens.
the three wethenorth market addresses

the part nobody writes about
Guides tend to skip from here is the address to here is your account, as though the gap between them were empty. It is not empty. It is a browser you may not have used before, a captcha that behaves oddly, and a page that takes long enough to load that you start to doubt it.
Most people who give up, give up in that gap.
what is in here
Seven posts. Tor Browser and why nothing works without it. The captcha and why it is deliberately awkward. Slowness as a normal state rather than a fault. What the front page actually shows. What it means when one wtn market mirror will not open. Tabs. And the security level slider that quietly breaks things.
the running theme
Almost everything in this channel comes down to one habit: not treating slowness or friction as evidence. The normal web trained everyone to read a delay as a fault, and here a delay is just a delay.
replies
a reader askedI clicked an address and nothing happened. Where do I start?
the answerWith the browser. If you are not in Tor Browser, an onion address does nothing at all, and the post on tor browser first is the one to read before anything else in this channel.
a reader askedDoes this channel tell me whether the market is up?
the answerNo. This feed never opens the addresses it publishes, so it has no status light, no percentage and no date of checking anywhere on it.
what this post is not This channel is not troubleshooting for a specific machine. It describes what these screens normally do, so that you can tell an unusual situation from an ordinary one.
