Where to buy Monero/XMR in U.S.? : Monero | Torhoo darknet markets
I first used Coinbase and BTC before they shut down my account because they didn't like the addresses I was sending to, then switched to Kraken and Monero but Kraken also shut down my account, and most recently have used Kukoin and Monero but now they suddenly will not allow purchases of Monero with a debit/credit card or bank transfer and don't reply to any support requests asking why.
Localmonero is not a realistic option for me as I live in a rural area and have never seen anyone anywhere near me on that site selling Monero. I have searched around a lot and only option I've found so far is changenow.io but they have seemingly very high fees, currently quoting $150.10 for 1 XMR when it's current price is only $128.90.
Any suggestions for sources with better pricing that allow debit card or bank transfer purchases?
You don't need to mail cash or meet in person if you don't want to. Like I said, you can use cash app, you can use venmo, you can use a wire transfer, you can even use gift cards on LocalMonero.
LocalMonero is hands down the best way to buy Monero, I would go so far as to say it's the best place to even legit buy Monero. If you are specifically asking for LocalMonero alternatives... I guess you could use Bisq. It's basically the same service but there are less people using it. But that just means it will be slower, cost more...
If you are dead set on using a CEX, that's an option too. Just buy LTC or something and then convert it to XMR using one of the many tools. You'll still have a lot of fees anyway though. Just use LocalMonero. You won't find a better alternative.
