Availability refers to the operator's official clearnet page. The hidden-service endpoint is not contacted.
Identity confidence
Medium
Independent sources exist, but identity continuity has not been independently confirmed.
- Supports confidence: Independent sources: 3
- Supports confidence: Recently observed
- Supports confidence: No unresolved identity conflicts
- Supports confidence: Status history is consistent
- Weakens confidence: Identity cannot be independently confirmed
Availability and identity are assessed separately. A responding endpoint does not show that it is operated by the entity it claims to be. Why this matters

Only reports confirmed by a reviewer are listed. A report describes lookalikes of this entity; it is not a statement about the entity itself.
No confirmed reports. That is an absence of reports, not a guarantee that no impersonators exist.
