good news that it's already available: https://haveno-reto Decentralised Exchange P2P fiat to monero directly. I wrote some tutorials on how to use it, if you need help on that

seems OK to me currently

sorry for the late reply but yes, in a decentralised exchange you are revealing your info to an other peer, rather than to a centralised exchange (or subphoneable entity), that makes a huge difference

Hi, you no longer need to go through any other crypto nor any centralised exchange to get your monero. just transact P2P, fiat to monero directly, on the Haveno reto decentralised exchange https://haveno-reto.com/ i wrote guides on how to use it. Centralised exchanges may force you to KYC yourself, so screw them.

there's also xmrbazaar.com too in the earn XMR section

small detail, centralised exchanges know how much monero went through them. for that particular account. If you KYC'd there, they know how much monero YOU bought or sold on their platform

they discard the decoys when they're given the transactions of interest, this lets them know that this transaction they saw on their node actually comes from that subphoenable entity (centralised exchange), from there they have the list of transactions that went through and they can rule out the dandelion decoys. but otherwise they can't.

I also mentionned that they are looking at the fee structure on their malicious nodes, hence my recommendation to use the default fees. not sure if they're actually using the rest. (number of inputs and outputs ?)

if you run your own node, it means that the adversary needs to come and ask you directly to give you the details of who connected to the node. and if you keep Tor in between you and your own node, you're maintaining anonymity aswell.

if others find your (remote) node its not changing anything, you're making it available for them to use monero

but still they should run their own monero node to keep decentralizing further

TLDW :

  1. do not trust random nodes, go and host your own (locally or not) -> to prevent them from logging ip addresses and to deanonymize on the IP level (attacking dandelion from what i understand ?)
  2. if you do end up using a remote node, connect to it through tor to maintain anonymity
  3. Stay off centralised exchanges, never KYC.

Nah that's easy too. you need to make sure the developers use PGP keys to confirm their identity. https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/pgp/index.html + https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/whonixqemuvms/index.html

but yeah the idea is to have a Disaster recovery plan, kind of idea.

Hi all, i'm running a public list of monero nodes on https://xmr.datura.network, feel free to use it if you need to synchronize your monero wallets with a remote monero node. (the original service is from https://monero.fail )

sidenote: only manual registrations for new nodes, feel free to send them to me over mail / matrix

In this tutorial we're going to cover how to buy Monero, for cash by mail on the Haveno Decentralised Exchange. This was the most popular payment method back on LocalMonero, due to being an improvement over bank transfers (like SEPA in the EU) when it comes to trading larger volumes in the long run, as Cash cannot easily be traced by adversaries unlike bank transfers, making Cash by Mail one of the most private ways to exchange real world money for Monero.

Let me know if there's anything i missed in that tutorial :)

In this tutorial we're going to cover an instant SEPA transfer (which is a bank transfer) transaction for monero, this is one of the most popular payment options in the EU region. Instant SEPA was a personal favorite of mine back on the now defunct Localmonero, mainly due to the speed of the transanction, the only requirement being that the other peer has a bank account that supports instant SEPA transfers.

check it out ;)

 

In this tutorial we're going to cover how the Haveno DEX handles trade disputes, which can happen as, after all it's decentralised, and anonymous by default.

https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-arbitrator/index.html

feel free to let me know if i should improve something in this one :)

 

In this tutorial I cover how to do a Fiat to Monero trade from the brand new (and long awaited!) Haveno Decentralised Exchange, using the Face-to-Face (F2F) payment method.

using the Haveno Reto Network, feel free to drop in some feedback if you think i can improve that tutorial :) https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-client-f2f/index.html
