Hi,
In short, since the crackdown on fiat-to-monero started, the only way to get monero that I could figure out was:
- Purchase Bitcoin using fiat.
- Purchase Monero using Bitcoin.
- Change Monero back to Bitcoin.
- Pay using Bitcoin for services that don’t accept Monero.
Could someone tell me if doing step 2 and 3 still ensures my privacy, or is it pointless? I don’t see any other way to use Monero for payments which don’t accept Monero.
Thanks.
If you send someone cash via mail, the only thing the feds can get by busting your trade-partner is your localmonero username.
Doesn’t localmonero have any kind of telemetry? Although that doesn’t remain valid if someone uses TOR
Just use it over Tor. It automatically uses the nojs version on its onion address
