Hey guys so I’m struggling Getting Monero all these past years so is there any trustworthy Centralized or Decentralized Exchanges you recommend for Buying Bitcoins Or Litecoins Cheaply to Swap Them for XMR and I especially need an App to buy them since I don’t have a PC Yet I tried Coinbase but they need so much ID Verifications including My Drivers license and home address And binance is just scummy Garbage So Should I Go With Kraken or Should I use Any Dexs or P2PExs like Robosats or Paxful and I will use Android Since iOS sucks for buying Crypto in my region Kingdom of Saudi Arabia I hope you all can see how much this has been difficult for me to try Monero All along when I’ve should’ve had at leatherone this day Thank you and I wish you all great luck sometime in 2025

    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

    Buy a cheap, used laptop with cash and get TAILS on USB. I say that because I know that the Middle East frowns on crypto, especially privacy coins.

    Use Bisq/Haveno for local cash-only transfers (Very little paper trail)

    Try this one https://exolix.com/ (I’ve tried it myself for swapping XMR to BTC, ETC, USDT, SOL and several tokens) or some analogous, or Kraken. I’ve faced similar problem with Monero and got a help here, on the forum

    I did all my BTC-XMR trades using tradeogre, no ID verification since it’s just swapping between coins

    Kraken is nice. You can get XMR directly if it’s available in your country, and you’ll have less withdrawal fees. Else, kraken charges about 0,20€ (equivalent in crypto) for withdrawal fees iirc

    Why would you want to buy bitcoin/litecoin to swap them for XMR?

    Edit: Oh well, localmonero is shut down it seems.
