Fuck this thread.
If you don't have anything useful to contribute here (which you never do), then get the fuck off my thread.
If they put fixed offers at the time higher the market price would you take it? You fucking wouldnt is my guess
My expectation is that they all should be slightly higher than the market price so that the seller can make a profit. That's how it was with all trades on localmonero. Have you even ever done a cash by mail trade?
could be a old listing, and if you try to trade they will cancel and relist at the current rate
Isn't this kind of a bullshit reason akin to a "bait and switch" offer that would make people hesitant to use RetoSwap?
OK, I guess I'll take your word for it, but XMR never was offered for less than market value for cash by mail trades on localmonero.co.
Letely, the price is going up but many of those offers may have been made a day ago or something.
This is the whole thrust of my question. Are these "old" offers from "a day ago" that will suddenly increase when I respond to the "old" offer or are the sellers committed to the advertised price, even if it's below market value?
Also, some people may be willing to take a little haircut to get the trade done fast.
Really? Sellers do that?
I don't understand what you mean. Right now the value of 1 XMR is $213 USD. There are sell offers ranging from $208 to $236. The cash market exchange rate should be the same for all offers, right? Why would someone want to sell XMR for below market rate?
I think you misunderstood my question. I posed it as a buyer responding to a sell offer. Why would a seller offer XMR for $5 less than market value and want to lose money?
On Haveno RetoSwap, why are some cash by mail offers less than the current XMR price?
For example, right now XMR is $215 USD/XMR, but there's an offer listed at $210/XMR and another one at $213/XMR. This seems to happen relatively frequently. Anyone know why this is?
I appreciate the new release, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with telemetry being collected for any reason.
Sorry, I was incorrect. I thought they did, but they actually don't.
Agreed, but right now the max amount of XMR you can purchase on Haveno via cash by mail seems to be limited to $2000-3000, way less than the maximums we saw on localmonero.co.
localcoinswap.com as cash by mail option?
It looks like you can both buy and sell XMR via cash by mail on this exchange. Does anyone know anything about it? It's not listed on kycnot.me and I don't see it mentioned here or in the Reddit r/monero sub.
On Haveno-Reto, in cash by mail offers, is it possible to see the online username of the seller (and thereby know their Local Monero reputation) prior to choosing a seller?
I'm just starting to learn Haveno. When you hover the cursor over the seller, all you get is a "Maker's onion address". I realize that the whole purpose of Haveno is for both buyers and sellers to be anonymous, but I'd be more likely to use the service if I recognized the name of a trusted seller from localmonero. I know several of them are trading on Haveno, but I can't tell who is who. So I guess I'm asking if there is a way to find the trusted seller's online moniker if they care to divulge it for the purpose of buyers being able to choose a seller based on their localmonero reputation.
Thanks for the update. https://lemmy.cafe/c/monero doesn't block Tor, but no one ever posts there except rottenwheel.
Will monero.town consider not blocking tor exit nodes anymore?
I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it's creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren't blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.
The issue with Majestic Bank has been that they'd advertise a certain conversion rate (e.g. XMR/USD), then jack that rate up significantly unbeknownst to you at the last second right before you hit send. Not sure if they still do that but they tried to do it to me (and others) once and I never used them again. I posted on r/monero about this a couple of years ago.
How can I not start tails-tor on OS startup? Tails is the OS. Do you mean don't connect to a network after Tails boots to the home screen?
Which Tails folder/directory would I run those 2 commands in?
I'm having the same problem using the Simplex App Image on Tails that I'm having with Retroshare. It won't connect to the network. All the more reason to have an XMRp2p trading community set up here on monero.town.
Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I'm close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says "Tor status: offline". But I'm not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.
This is a great idea. Thanks for taking the initiative Mr. Canary.
I see there is an Appimage available for Linux. Does it work with Tor?
It seems to use chatwoot.app. Even Cloudflare-protected websites let me through some of the time. Does VikXMR ever come here to comment? He seems like a pretty straight shooter.
Cake Pay and Tor: "Use from this IP address is not allowed"
Does Cake Pay Web block Tor exit nodes? I keep getting a pink error message that says "Use from this IP address is not allowed".I'm just checking it out for the first time at buy.cakepay.com and I've tried connecting unsuccessfully from multiple different Tor ip addresses. If so, doesn't this run contrary to their logstanding support of privacy and anonymity?
Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance plans to step down and plead guilty to violations for US anti-money-laundering requirements, pay fine of $4.3 Billion
Binance will pay a $4.3 billion fine and Changpeng Zhao will step down from his role leading the world's largest crypto exchange, the WSJ reported.
It's about time all the lies caught up to CZ. My only regret abot this is that he won't be SBF's cell mate.
I think this is a great suggestion.
Unfortunately, many cash by mail Monero sellers leave their contact info as a telegram address on their intro page. I wish they would all have to leave an protonmail email address or some other way to contact them using Tor.
When purchasing Monero via Cash By Mail using an online shipping label service to print the label, what do you put in the From entry screen if you want to remain anonymous?
I got one good answer in r/localmonero, but I thought I'd seek other opinions here.
I don't want to use my own address. If I put some random fake "From" address and there's a problem with the seller receiving the package, will USPS try to return it to that address and then I lose the cash? Just wondering what the rest of you guys are doing to remain anonymous when using cash by mail to buy monero.
3 anonymous shipping label services are listed below:

BTW, https://coinship.pro, which advertised itself on r/monero and is still listed on monerica.com, now seems to be defunct.
