Thank you very much, this is very helpful!

So, I don't mind either path, I can get fiat into crypto without issue.

There's a few I've checked in the past, like bisq, but it just felt so awkward, spread and prices so poor, that I just didn't want to try it out. I feel that simpleswap is somewhat similar to this, but I haven't tried it either.

It's very interesting to know that thor might be supporting #XMR soon, that'd be ideal.

I'll definitely have to research haveno as it's been mentioned multiple times now. trocador as well.

Appreciate the detailed response! :MEOWDY:

Yea admittedly the UX for this stuff isn't quite there yet if you're used to exchanges. Trocador might be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to use among these, but you're trusting a single swap provider not to freeze your funds during the swap (although they rate the chance of that happening for e...

Can anyone recommend some ways to swap/get #Monero #XMR these days? No KYC and decentralised would be great.

In truth I used to buy it on exchanges, many, many years ago. Binance and others have delisted since it. Have been spending it over the years and our stack is running low; I've been thinking about replenishing supply.

I've looked into a few ways, but they all seem so... awkward (BasicSwap, other atomic methods, seem highly convoluted). Cake Wallet offers a swap but takes a few percentage fees--seems fairly simple though. TradeOgre shut down or rugged... from what I read?

Interested to know what Monero advocates use these years.

(and please no zealotism: I just want to know what options exist nowadays, no need for some hardcore philosophical rant--thanks!)

Your son seems to have the same Street Fighter 2 moves as my daughter... Odd as she's never seen the game...

Sometimes I also hit that point of exasperation where I'm just not sure what to do, they can be so stubborn when they've got something on their mind!

Maybe it's because nostr:npub1se7hmrcg732xrrl4pmycrhs6v6av29ya3zcnsky6ppsh3889kp8sp074gg summons his little bot on all the flat earth posts? He could always just yah know. Not do that?
