good news that it's already available: https://haveno-reto Decentralised Exchange P2P fiat to monero directly. I wrote some tutorials on how to use it, if you need help on that

seems OK to me currently

sorry for the late reply but yes, in a decentralised exchange you are revealing your info to an other peer, rather than to a centralised exchange (or subphoneable entity), that makes a huge difference

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

if you run your own node, it means that the adversary needs to come and ask you directly to give you the details of who connected to the node. and if you keep Tor in between you and your own node, you're maintaining anonymity aswell.

if others find your (remote) node its not changing anything, you're making it available for them to use monero

but still they should run their own monero node to keep decentralizing further

they're going one step at a time towards their goal : cashless CBDC society. watch them shrink the legal cash payment amount more and more from there

congrats guys, keep up the good work. people out there feel free to contribute a stressnet node

The main point is that bitcoin won't have any value when your country reduces your right to privacy to nothing with a CBDC, digital ID, and social credit score. Bitcoin will just be another surveillance tool to them. Besides, nobody is not using btc anyway, it's just used to swap it to monero lol

based, next step set up your own apt repository for easier upgrades for linux users and it's going to be top notch ;)

yea thats the point of having a decoy volume, you claim that the hidden one doesnt exist and that you gave the password. it remains possible until the adversary is able to prove that the hidden volume exists.

probably meant "monero is what bitcoin was meant to be"

yeah that's the chicken in egg problem that got ported over from bisq. Thing is that initial monero is required to make sure there's an incentive to not scam the other peer and same from their end.
