Monero (XMR) Protocol

The only truly fungible and anonymous cryptocurrency.

Why Bitcoin is not enough

Bitcoin uses a transparent blockchain. Anyone can see the balance of a wallet and trace where funds came from. Chainalysis firms track Bitcoin from exchange to darknet market, compromising your identity.

Monero (XMR) uses Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses. This hides the sender, the receiver, and the amount sent. It is the gold standard for darknet hygiene.

How to Acquire XMR Safely

1. Buy Litecon/BTC

Purchase LTC or BTC on a regular exchange (Coinbase, Kraken) using fiat currency.

2. Swap to XMR

Use a non-KYC swap service like ChangeNow or SimpleSwap to convert LTC -> XMR.

3. Send to Wallet

Send XMR to your local wallet (GUI Wallet or Feather). Never send direct to market.
