Hey guys so I’m struggling Getting Monero all these past years so is there any trustworthy Centralized or Decentralized Exchanges you recommend for Buying Bitcoins Or Litecoins Cheaply to Swap Them for XMR and I especially need an App to buy them since I don’t have a PC Yet I tried Coinbase but they need so much ID Verifications including My Drivers license and home address And binance is just scummy Garbage So Should I Go With Kraken or Should I use Any Dexs or P2PExs like Robosats or Paxful and I will use Android Since iOS sucks for buying Crypto in my region Kingdom of Saudi Arabia I hope you all can see how much this has been difficult for me to try Monero All along when I’ve should’ve had at leatherone this day Thank you and I wish you all great luck sometime in 2025

Hi, you no longer need to go through any other crypto nor any centralised exchange to get your monero. just transact P2P, fiat to monero directly, on the Haveno reto decentralised exchange https://haveno-reto.com/ i wrote guides on how to use it. Centralised exchanges may force you to KYC yourself, so screw them.

there's also xmrbazaar.com too in the earn XMR section

Thanks I appreciate your guides sir and I don’t now how can I be thankful for you’re support

Buy a cheap, used laptop with cash and get TAILS on USB. I say that because I know that the Middle East frowns on crypto, especially privacy coins.

Use Bisq/Haveno for local cash-only transfers (Very little paper trail)

But I don’t have any time for Mining Monero and my Sandisk usb has ended its life by August

I didn't tell you to mine Monero.

Time to buy a USB

Try this one https://exolix.com/ (I've tried it myself for swapping XMR to BTC, ETC, USDT, SOL and several tokens) or some analogous, or Kraken. I've faced similar problem with Monero and got a help here, on the forum

Thx dude you given me hope in buying xmr again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hope you got by with your problem. There are many ways to buy, you just need to look for them. But I guess, my option (Exolix or Kraken) is really good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and besides I’m going to use Haveno for all of my future Monero Buying Needs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

that's also a good option, though, I prefer others. Good luck

So which app do you recommend for paying with Google Pay or Apple Pay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I did all my BTC-XMR trades using tradeogre, no ID verification since it's just swapping between coins

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Look I just want to find the easiest solution using at least kraken or an easy to use dex

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Kraken is nice. You can get XMR directly if it’s available in your country, and you’ll have less withdrawal fees. Else, kraken charges about 0,20€ (equivalent in crypto) for withdrawal fees iirc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks I will try later

Why would you want to buy bitcoin/litecoin to swap them for XMR?

Edit: Oh well, localmonero is shut down it seems.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

It’s because it’s almost impossible to get Monero easily in 2024 and if could help me that well be nice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

never used it? you could buy Monero for fiat there or what?
