Monero isn't private ?

it's private, but a bad usage can lead to being deanonymized.

Ok then what i should do ?

You mean what you should not ?

  • Do no KYC related to cryptocurrency: if you can avoid it then you're not recorded as a monero user (simple as this).
  • Do no CEX -> CEX XMR swaps: you have (for the minimum) to split the amount and churn funds or RingSignatures wont help you.
  • Do not reuse an address: always generate a new-subaddress when it's a private payment (like it's not a donation address).
  • Do not consolidate UTXOs: spend them one-by-one.
  • Don't broadcast transactions to a remote-node without Tor or I2P: FeatherWallet for the win.
What you should do:
  • Move received funds to new addresses at random timings.
  • Use your own node (local/self-hosted node).
  • Keep using NoKYC services.

Tutorial: Buy & Sell Monero without KYC (monero.im)

Why should you only buy NonKYC XMR ?

  • Because being KYC is painful and takes time.
  • Not having your identity leaking somewhere leading to an identity theft.
  • Partially reveal how many XMR did you get.
Method 1: Mine it.

Mine it so you earn XMR take a good PC config (Good CPU, some RAM) and mine on P2Pool. Be sure your configuration is making a higher ROI than you invest

Method 2: Simply earn it.

It's a currency, that means you can earn XMR, trough good and services. No need of any bank account, just buy goods with cash and sell theses for monero or some regular services.

Method 3: NoKYC swappers and P2P trades.
  • To buy/sell monero for a lot of different cryptos, you can check MajesticBank & Intercambio.
  • To buy/sell for cash or other FIAT payment methods, take a look on AgoraDesk to find wire bank or cash by mail P2P trades.

Tutorial: make a Tor hidden-service for the RPC interface of your monero node + proxify transactions. (monero.im)

Why i should make a hidden-service for my RPC endpoint ?

Because it gives you a private and secure access to your node.

Step 1: modify torrc to activate the hidden-service

In your terminal, install Tor and modify your configuration using nano

  • sudo apt install tor
  • sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc

Now, in the hidden-service section, remove the hashtags to activate your hidden-service, replace the defaults ports for 18081 (the default port number used for the RPC) and save the file.

  • HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
  • HiddenServicePort 18081 127.0.0.1:18081
Step 2: restart Tor & get the hidden-service

Restart the service and then open the "hostname" file to get your hidden service.

  • sudo service tor start
  • sudo nano /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
Step 3: start your monero node & proxify transactions over Tor

Bind the localhost interface with the --rpc-bind-ip arg of monerod and proxify your transactions over Tor with the --tx-proxy arg.

  • ./monerod --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050
Step 4: connect your wallet to your node

Use FeatherWallet, go in the network-settings, in the proxy tab add a Tor SOCKS5 proxy (127.0.0.1:9050), check the only connect to .onions and start a bundled Tor router boxes.

Now in the nodes tab, add (your_hidden_service).onion:18081 as your remote-node and you can now use your node over Tor !
