We The North addresses

Three published addresses for the same platform. Copy rather than retype, and verify the signature once you are through.

Address 1 hn2paw7zadwkcra3qzv5e4q547i7e5lvxm62cfxqftuqdu7moiu2ceyd.onion
Address 2 hn2paw7zfvndw3dovycegeqmvvnf4pl67b3g2p7pohjlzavloosh73id.onion
Address 3 hn2paw7zrgujyhnt6mgxlt2q6uhgbke4itpqitxhyfbumq3wtnckbuyd.onion

This site publishes the list and does not monitor it. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and the check that settles it takes under a minute.

About staying safe

Five claims about protection. Two are advice that circulates constantly and makes things worse, and one is a piece of good advice that has quietly been abandoned by people who should know better.

Scope, stated plainly

This section covers protection against scams, phishing and account loss. It does not cover avoiding detection, and that is not an omission to be filled in later. The claims below are examined because believing them wrongly costs people accounts and money, which is a problem this site can usefully address.
