WeTheNorth Status
Is the WTN market up right now? The honest answer changes through the day, so this page reports what a probe can actually back and nothing more. You will see Checking, Pending, or Dead here, never a permanent Online badge painted on to look reassuring. A green light you cannot verify is the oldest trick a phishing mirror pulls, so this register refuses to fake one.

A status badge is only worth the check behind it. Ours follows a small pipeline. A probe reaches the mirror over Tor, the answer gets sorted into a state, and only that honest state goes on the page. No step ever writes a green light by hand.
These states describe a probe, not an endorsement. Match the full address against the signed register before you rely on any of them.
Reading Checking, Dead, and the rest
Checking is the default. It means a probe has not yet confirmed the mirror, so you treat it as unknown. Dead means the address stopped answering and should not be used. A confirmed up state, when it appears, still is not a promise for the next hour. Availability on Tor moves, and a mirror that answered a minute ago can time out on your circuit. The safe habit is the same at every state. Verify the key, then decide.
Why a WeTheNorth mirror goes quiet
An onion timing out is normal more often than it is sinister. Hidden services depend on a chain of relays, and any weak link along the way can stall a request. Heavy load, a flood aimed at the market, or routine maintenance all read the same way from the outside, as a page that will not answer. That is why a single failed load is not proof a link is dead, and one good load is not proof it is safe. States drift, so you re-check rather than trust a badge you saw earlier. When a link truly stops for good, it moves to Dead here and stays there.
Status questions people ask
Is WeTheNorth up right now?
Availability changes hour to hour. This page shows an honest probe state such as Checking or Dead, and never hard-codes a live badge it cannot back.
What does Checking mean?
A probe has not confirmed the mirror yet. Read it as unknown, not as safe or online.
Why not just show Online?
A hard-coded Online badge is the oldest phishing trick. We only report what a probe can back, so an unconfirmed link stays Checking.
Turn a marker into a decision
A state is useful only once you hold the address it belongs to. That onion, freshly signed, waits on the register. If you have not made the trip before, the access guide lays out each move.
