Best place to buy XMR using BTC?

[jaberzhou]

Hi there!

What is currently the best place to buy XMR using BTC, preferably without heavy KYC?

I’m starting to look more seriously at buying Monero and increasing my exposure. I’m less interested in short-term price action and more focused on doing it the right way.

Most exchanges that still support Monero require full KYC, which feels contradictory when buying a privacy coin. If your identity is tied to the purchase from the start, it kind of defeats the purpose of using Monero at all, even if the chain itself is private.

Instant BTC to XMR/Monero exchange without KYC? This thread wants to convert BTC to XMR, is this a coincidence or what?

If it is true then I always recommend going to https://bitlist.co/exchanges
you can see exchanges without KYC, the platform there can also do large amounts of swaps.

There are wallets with integrated atomic swap feature like Eigen wallet, this is open source software, without KYC and it's decentralized.
There are other options available that could provide better rates, like Splash exchange, or try OrangeFren to find more exchanges.

That is not completely true, most centralized exchanges already delisted monero, and onyl few of them can still be used without kyc.

https://cce.cash may be one of the best places to buy and sell XMR with a low commission. Read the terms of use before making a transaction.

They delisted XMR because it's a private blockchain and KYC exchange records that you, bought $X amount of XMR.

In addition to the proposed instant exchanges and from the list at https://bitlist.co/exchanges if you are looking for a p2p exchange, Trêvoid is a proven member that offers such an exchange possibility.
Here is his ANN thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5539912.0
Also, always do your own research and check feedback.

Members have already posted a couple of resources you could use, OP.

I am here to give you another alternative.

- kycnot.me (The higher the site is rated, the better. You will also be able to see reviews from different users regarding the service of interest. Stick to reputable ones and those already vetted.)

I think CCE cash and Trevoid are the best options in my experience. I have made deals with both of them.

Both accept low values, so you can use them even for a few bucks.

Speaking of the site, OP should go beyond privacy ratings and trust scores. A higher rate doesn't necessarily equate to being a better service.

Eigenwallet, for example, has a perfect 10 or 100% in terms of privacy. But a user was asked for KYC when buying XMR. Whether it was bought with BTC or fiat doesn't matter; a service claiming to be fully non-KYC but asks for KYC is at the very least dishonest. Moreover, the service has 92% trust score but reviews of actual users are saying otherwise.

Compare this with Trêvoid's that only has an 8 or 94% rating in terms of privacy but has never asked for KYC. Moreover, Trêvoid's service only has 64% trust score, quite low indeed, but it's got a perfect score among actual users. I'm not saying the service is risk-free, though.

Which is exactly why you should check BitMixList for xmr exchange sites.

I don't score services, I only group the ones that don't use KYC together in a group.

The service in question has not yet been verified. When you mark only verified services, it does not show up in the listings.

Secondly, the whole point of the comment/review section is for one to be able to read about user experiences with the service. On seeing such comments made there, they would have to proceed with caution when trying to use the service.

I am certain once the KYC claims are verified, the score will be updated, as it has happened with other services in the past.

Yeah, not verified but approved, which means the service is tested and investigated in depth. The warning about possible scams won't show up when you limit your search to verified and approved services. A verified badge isn't a guarantee that it's reliable, anyway. It's reliable until it isn't. It doesn't ask for KYC until it does. The site would just make the necessary updates if there's a need to.

I hope they're verifying the claim and make the appropriate adjustments if found to be true. The specific review claiming to have been required KYC was made more than a month ago. But overall, despite having high ratings on both privacy and trust, it has low user rating. It might be wise to give weight to what actual users have to say.
