Cash for crypto in person
π¬ Tip #1: Can't find Monero near you? Any major crypto will work. Ideally one with low transaction fees i.e. LTC, BCH, DOGE. Just swap to Monero later.
π¬ Tip #2: Don't give out your real phone number, email, or name. Simple phone number and email verification is common. If required, use a temp SMS verification website. Phantom Phone has a free one available. For email use a temp email service. Guerrilla Mail is free. Alternatively, you can create an email specifically for doing this, or at least use an email alias service like SimpleLogin or Addy.io

I'd just correct something, wizardswap is not an aggregator. It's a swap service with it's own liquidity, like the the first generation of swap services were.
It's interesting though in that you can provide liquidity to them and make some money off the fees, but best in mind it is a centralized service and if they were to ever take off with your coins there's not much you can do about it. Probably never gonna happen though, they've been pretty straight so far.
Thanks for catching that mistake
WOW... This. Is. Awesome.
Spent a few hours getting it up to date lmao. Glad you like it. Hope someone finds it useful.
Anyone reading this add anything I missed in the comments I'm sure I missed quite a few things.
what about a web based wallet like Coinos for monero?
Didn't realize they had a web wallet for Monero. Are they a light wallet?
I recently downloaded a desktop wallet, my monero
Pretty sure that wallet is defunct I wouldn't use it. Check out Feather wallet, Stack wallet, or Cake wallet for a desktop wallet.
Thanks
Great post
