Anybody have anything p2p that's similar? Literally just just found out today
 
Hmm I had no idea about this until reading this post, why is it gone now? To answer your question I've noticed most people doing what the post above me says which is basically buying another type of crypt0 c0in then trading it for M0n3r0 which is slightly more of a tedious hassle potentially but it should work just as good as local M0n3r0 did.

I'm not 100% sure though as I've personally never had to use M0n3r0 yet but I'm really determined to start using it as I'd rather support that type of crypt0 than the other more popular ones that are simply less anonymous in comparison.

it's honestly not remotely as much of a hassle as it may seem and you'll save paying a major premium compared to using p2p platforms

once you do it once you're not likely to forget how to do it

cake wallet makes it fairly seamless to do it all in one place

I am not a tech savvy person whatsoever, so it took me a while to figure out a good system, and part of that is cakewallet. I usually buy litecoin in Venmo, then I send it to my cakewallet. Once it’s received, I convert the Ltc to XMR.

After I just figured out how to swap currencies using my own wallet since i noticed more vendors using monero. I had hopes of lower fees w/XMR. LTC?

Were you getting high fees with this method? One of the benefits of XMR, in addition to it being anonymous, is the extremely low fees. The way I do it that I listed above has minimal feels. Venmo changes a small fee ($2.50) for the LTC transaction, and to convert to XMR through cake wallet is barely anything. For example, the fee for the last time I converted LTC to XMR was 0.0000445 XMR, which is $0.0077. This shit is not at all intuitive to me so it took me a while to figure out this system, but it’s easy and has minimal fees. I did try once to buy BTC or LTC through Cakewallet (they give you options to buy from various providers) to have it converted to XMR, but it was either high fees or too complicated - don’t remember what issue was.

I have seen people say it’s not a good idea to use cash app or Venmo to buy crypto, but I think that’s if you also send from there to the recipient. I think it’s pretty safe to buy from there and then send to your personal wallet. But again, this is a subject I am not very knowledgeable in. If anyone sees any problems, security or otherwise, with my method, please let me know.

the whole sending straight to recipient thing is more of an issue when using the onion stores.

a big reason a lot of people would get caught up is because exchanges would keep a list of known addresses for markets because they would typically use a couple different hot wallets so it's easy for their system to automatically flag your account and then that would lead to a whole host of issues such as:
a) your exchange account being terminated
b) your exchange funds possibly being seized
c) transaction activity automatically reported to relevant enforcement

it's not really that much of a problem when sending it directly to a vendor unless they've been around for a REALLY long time and continue to use the same wallet addresses for receiving payments (I've actually seen this with a small amount of vendors on dbg, not the greatest practice if they ever get caught up)

bear in mind that everything I listed above is mostly a vector that comes into play when using anything EXCEPT monero because of how laughably easy it is to run block chain analysis on basically every other crypto people use (especially bitcoin!!! BTW to anyone using litecoin, it's equally as traceable)

that being said, for the sake of security, it's still recommended to to send monero to your own wallet first. they could just as easily flag a monero address; but once it's in your wallet, it becomes exponentially more difficult (nearly impossible) for anyone to figure out where it went after that.

another big issue I see almost nobody accounting for is the fact that one day block chain analysis is going to become so efficient, that if you get caught up one single time, they could easily pull up every other instance of you ever sending funds to a flagged address and then all of a sudden you lost a substantial amount of plausible deniability and could potentially even be hit with the book for orders they didn't even know you made. we're already at a point where there's a lot of software that will easily and rapidly display a complete web of all your wallet activity (see Breadcrumbs for example or look at some of the work by ZachXBT on Twitter (he's even been approached by the IRS for help but he doxxed the request and denied it)

Appreciate the info, like yourself, I'm not too tech savvy myself. I have consistently heard that the method you're using is the way to go.
I had just read up on non-custodial wallets and someone much more knowledgeable than I suggested that particular one. It's essentially your own wallet that can't be shut down or put on hold etc. You have to buy crypto from some exchange, so your info re: personal, banking and receiving wallet is there for whoever to see ( Hopefully not in our cases though, yeah right). But from what I understand, after swapping then sending from cake or exodus, no one can see where that crypto was sent. Honestly, I'm still learning as I go and haven't used exodus for a sub yet, but the little bit of $ I've deposited in it to 'practice' makes it seem easy and user friendly. With small fees as well, though I haven't used it for much yet, but, I intend to. And through trial and error, I'll eventually get it all figured out. I think...
 
there's a pretty straightforward guide on rentry you can use as a template

Why buy a different crypto just to convert it? Why not buy monero directly from an exchange then send it to your personal wallet?

that is not an option for everyone. if you're in the US, there is only one CEX to acquire monero on right now.

  1. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  2. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  3. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  8. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  9. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  10. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  11. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  12. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  13. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  14. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  15. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  16. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  17. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  18. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  19. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
  20. R @ Royboy99: @LatsDoodis: thanks brother … I’ve spent months trying to put myself in uncomfortable places to grow stronger. Hours of research, thousands on supplements, therapy etc …
