6 min readWhere to start
If you have never used a market like this, read the first order guide from top to bottom before doing anything else. It covers the whole path in the sequence it actually happens, with the coin decision sitting where it belongs rather than tacked on at the payment screen.
If you have ordered before and are only here for the payment side, the coin comparison and the deposit guide are the two that matter. Between them they cover the decision and the mechanics, and the confirmations and fees guides exist for when something appears to have gone wrong and probably has not.
Why the coin decision has its own guide
Because it is the only choice in the process with permanent consequences. Everything else is recoverable or fades. A ledger entry does neither, and a decision that outlasts the order deserves more than a dropdown at checkout.
