Let me answer that. We need a hidden underground forum that doesn't autoblock any subject heading that ends in a question, one that allows Tor and VPN log ins, one without a stupid Reddit CQS (Contributor Quality Score) that rates experienced posters with tens of thousands of karma points as "low quality" just for logging in from an ip address Reddit doesn't like or for having an email address that doesn't end in yahoo, gmail or outlook.com. One where you don't have to PM a moderator and beg them to allow your post, one without bots (created by Reddit and moderators here) crawling for reasons to block your post, one that doesn't censor free speech, one that doesn't have moderators who get lost in the weeds telling us that according to section 5, subsection A, paragraph 4, line 57, this or that subject is off topic "but I'll allow it anyway", losing sight of the fact that monero is supposed to be about freedom. How about one that won't get rid of PMs and force chat upon us in June? Lastly, how about a forum where we won't have to jump through all of these hoops for the privilege of having all of the great knowledge of our discussions here (that we provide to Reddit for free) be sold to Google for millions of dollars to train Gemini, their LLM AI.

Oh, and one that doesn't kill 3rd party apps.

So are we all stupid for remaining here? I think so. The only reason I'm still here is because 345,601 other XMR users refuse to migrate to monero.town or some other place and this is the only place my posts get any real exposure.

I’m having trouble installing v1.0.19 on Tails. This is the command I’m using. Can anyone figure out what I’m doing wrong? It keeps saying “Failed to download Haveno binary”.

XMRGlobal owns DMSwap. XMRGlobal appears to still be in beta testing for 2 more weeks but DMSwap appears to be live. I just want people here to know that these are out there. I have never used them, but they look promising. As always, use caution and small amounts if you try these out.

There's a Telegram bot as well.

And here's their introduction on Reddit from a couple of months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1h5peos/xmrglobal_now_live/

For example, right now XMR is $215 USD/XMR, but there's an offer listed at $210/XMR and another one at $213/XMR. This seems to happen relatively frequently. Anyone know why this is?

It looks like you can both buy and sell XMR via cash by mail on this exchange. Does anyone know anything about it? It's not listed on kycnot.me and I don't see it mentioned here or in the Reddit r/monero sub.

I'm just starting to learn Haveno. When you hover the cursor over the seller, all you get is a "Maker's onion address". I realize that the whole purpose of Haveno is for both buyers and sellers to be anonymous, but I'd be more likely to use the service if I recognized the name of a trusted seller from localmonero. I know several of them are trading on Haveno, but I can't tell who is who. So I guess I'm asking if there is a way to find the trusted seller's online moniker if they care to divulge it for the purpose of buyers being able to choose a seller based on their localmonero reputation.

I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it's creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren't blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.
