Hello, do you know any place to buy Monero for online payment ? It seems that LocalMonero is winding down and I don’t want to use some big exchanges like Coinbase for obvious reasons. Thank you very much!

    Alternatives like actual cash, proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, or even EMV.

    Most alternatives aren’t completely anonymous payment methods, but Monero’s anonymity isn’t worth wasting so much resources.

      I do use cash when possible indeed! But Monero is for things that you can’t physically receive in a store’s office, like a domain name. It’s not a lot, but it is necessary. Gift cards are not available everywhere, and the ones available somewhere would not necessarily work in other countries.

      I think cash-like anonymity is something we do really need in online payments. For me personally it is not critical. But I would still not like my VPS and domain name KYCed to me, for example if, say, something like censorship evasion is prosecuted retrospectively.
