LocalMonero is shutting down
After almost 7 years of operation, due to a combination of internal and external factors, we have made the difficult decision to close our platform.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!! That is absolutely the last fucking thing we need right fucking now.
Keep mining and remember the Bitcoin will have to go somewhere when that gets banned..which it will because it can
This is heartbreaking news. LocalMonero enabled anyone capable of navigating Ebay to convert XMR.
Thank you, Alex & the team, for all those years of providing what is probably the best Monero-service of all.

Did the ADL gave him the JFK haircut or has he managed to get out alive?
End of an era. For p2p with fiat we are going to need Haveno soon, or we are stuck using bisq and bitcoin.
Did not see that coming. Wish they would stick around until the DEX's are fully mature.
It was an inevitability, however I thought tradeogre would get disappeared first.
I really hope they publish the source so someone can open up a similar service on tor and i2p.
We are a reputable trader on there -> https://agoradesk.com/user/geterdone
and we have decided to build an I2P and Tor replacement. We have not slept since they made the announcement so we can get it up and running as fast as possible for the community. We are currently on the Matrix chat if you want to reach out to us for any questions, etc. -> @geterdone:matrix.org
We would have posted this elsewhere but, literally the only places you can post are constantly blocked. You can tell this very quickly like what happened when localmonero announced on reddit.com/r/monero they had 38 messages but only 15 showed. The fight for privacy is becoming a war and the battlefield is open.
get a onion domain ASAP and put a status page up so we can check it later
Whoa wait, what’s LocalMonero and how does it relate to Monero? Does this impact Monero itself?
Fuck

Please upvote this issue if you want to see all the source code for AgoraDesk/LocalMonero be released!
The forever boot on humanity wins again.... Thanks for your service (never used them, don't even know what monero actually)
Damn! It was so easy to buy xmr there... I hope I find a good substitute for localmonero when I need to buy xmr again
Know your enemies.
These clowns do not know what crypto is, they are puppets put in place to protect the banker monopoly.
Website?
What are the alternatives?
We are lucky we have Haveno and other DEX. The war is getting tougher.
Sad news, it was a good website
That's unfortunate for people using it, but a good thing in the long run.
Cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-work, and haven't already migrated to less resource-intensive schemes, are doing more harm than good.
Time to stock up on mining hardware and 5x my current mining operation 😁
PS. The US military burns billions of gallons of fuel per month and they murder people, I think we should stop worrying about proof-of-work and focus on real threats to the world at large.
Okay. I'm open to other options. What fungible, distributed, seizure resistant , digital money system do you recommend that doesn't use proof of work?
Please cite a specific actionable example I can do research on and compare to monero.
less resource-intensive schemes
Tell us about the options.
And I sure hope you are not talking about "less resource-intensive schemes" that are based on "let's give money to people who have the most money" thus making the cryptocurrencies that use it not only unfair but also even more centralized than bitcoin with its ASICs, right?
