Best and safer way to get XMR : Monero | Torhoo darknet markets

Hello guys,

First of all, sorry if my post sounds stupid. I've been away from the DN for quite a long time and just recently came back, only to discover Archetyp has been seized, Abacus is down, and we can't buy Monero on the "official" cryptoplatforms (Binance, Kraken, ...) anymore.

So how do we get Monero now ?

I think you already understood, I'm quite a noobie when it comes to crypto, so please try to explain things in details using simple words :D

Don't bother sending PM for private deals, thanks !

Thank you all in advance !

Edit : I'm located in Europe

The previous answers are pending moderation so this may not be needed, but I'll chime in just in case.
First off, open a free Kraken Pro account. You can attach your bank account and upload your dollars to your account. You won't be able to withdraw funds or crypto for a week, but after some number of transactions they waive the 7 day waiting period.
After 7 days, purchase Litecoin (LTC). I don't bother trying to put in a limit order. I just make a market order. it's super cheap. The purchase will go through immediately. Then go to trocador.app. Put in the amount of LTC that you want to trade for monero, and it will find the best deal for you. Accept the cheapest trade and it will give you a receive address. Go back to kraken and transfer your LTC to the address provided by trocador. You will also need to provide the receive address of your monero wallet. You'll get an email from kraken to verify your trade, so make sure you look for that. At this point you've done nothing suspicious, and no one knows that you also own the monero wallet, so you're good. This is the cheapest way I've found to get monero. I just bought $1000 of monero and ended up paying about $15 in fees. The price of monero is constantly fluctuating, so sometimes it costs slightly more, and other times I've actually ended up with more monero than I started out with in dollars. This is why I try to go from dollars to Litecoin to Monero as quickly as I can.

I've had a Kraken account for a couple of years now and did quite a good amount on transactions on it, but the fees are quite big ! Does switching to Kraken Pro changes any of that ? And how do you do it ?

I got a kraken pro account from the start because I read somewhere that it was a lot cheaper than kraken, but I have no personal experience. Just go to pro.kraken.com; it's free. I don't know if you can use your existing creds, but you can sign up right there.

Yeah, but how do you report this to the IRS? Only want the exchanges report, or do you actually report the xmr swap?

I don't report any of it, and frankly, now that Drumpf has fired most of the IRS, I wouldn't worry about anything as small as a few hundred bucks worth of Litecoin. The trade for XMR has nothing to do with you. You paid someone on Etsy in LTC, right?

Is buying straight monero from Kraken then transferring it to a cold wallet on tails bad? I do this then send the monero to another cold wallet on tails that I use before I send monero to the markets. You save quite a bit of money in fees and I was hoping the extra cold wallet jump on tails would be good for obfuscating your transactions.

Only buy on P2P exchanges like Bisq. But if you're looking for alternatives, check out kycnot(dot)me.

Either P2P or buy LTC from one of these big exchanges and swap for XMR on a smaller one

If you're in the USA, just use Cash App to get BTC with your debit card. Swap to XMR using Cake Wallet or another decentralized swap tool. If you're just doing a few hundred or a few thousand and you're just a DNM buyer, that's perfectly fine. That will be the cheapest route. If you want more anonymity and need to use cash, you can use Bitcoin ATMs. Again, get to BTC and swap.

Trading BTC for XMR is expensive and I don't advise it.

What? It's like a 3-5% fee

As I said above, I payed 1.5% on my last transaction and it's often less than that, but I'm surprised that you're able to convert BTC to XMR that cheaply. In any event, it's always cheaper to convert from LTC than BTC, so unless you already have BTC, there's no reason to purchase it. I've heard of folks getting hit with 17% in BTC mining fees.

You don't. You're paying a friend for dinner, sports tickets, a concert, or a vacation or whatever. It's P2P payments, right? RIGHT????

What if you buy XMR on Kraken and send it to a feather wallet after?

Well, I don't know how much risk is involved. but Kraken knows who you are, so if you buy XMR, then LE knows you bought XMR. Obviously they can't trace where it goes after that, but I'd just as soon not publicize that I buy Monero.
