We are happy to introduce ourselves to a wider Monero community!

Skhron accepts Monero using self-hosted bitcart instance since our foundation in 2023. Despite Monero on its way to delist from all CEX, we are still accepting it because we believe in privacy being an individual right.

At Skhron we never feed hollow promises, and thus we are Tor-friendly (but not with hosting an exit relays yet).

While our goal is to offer high-quality service with top-notch technical support, we are strongly against any illicit activity. This includes spam, phishing, hacking and anything forbidden by law of Estonia.

As of December 2024, our locations include Warsaw, Poland (Equinix WA3) and Stockholm, Sweden (Obe Kista Gate). All our equipment is colocated and we have flexibility regarding network configuration, because we operate our own ASN (215467).

Shall you have any questions about us do not hesitate to ask us here (I might not notice you instantly, sorry), via email or at nostr.

Chart shows silver priced in Monero. Note that it's hit a recent low, meaning it takes less Monero to buy the same amount of silver. Timing is looking good for rebalancing or if you suspect grid down scenarios playing out as the election approaches.

BitPay, a popular cryptocurrency payment processor, compromises online financial anonymity in several key ways:

  1. Data Collection and Sharing: BitPay collects various types of personal information from users, including names, email addresses, transaction details, and sometimes more detailed identification information such as government-issued IDs. This data can be shared with third parties, including service providers, business partners, and legal authorities.

  2. Compliance with Regulations: BitPay operates in compliance with a range of US laws and regulations that mandate the collection and sharing of user data. These include:

    • Know Your Customer (KYC) Regulations: BitPay is required to verify the identities of its users to prevent money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing. This involves collecting personal information and sometimes performing detailed background checks.
    • Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Laws: To comply with AML laws, BitPay must monitor transactions for suspicious activity and report certain types of transactions to authorities. This often requires extensive data collection and analysis.
    • The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA): This law requires financial institutions to keep records and file reports that may be useful in detecting and preventing money laundering and other financial crimes.
    • The USA PATRIOT Act: This act enhances law enforcement’s ability to combat terrorism and includes provisions that impact financial services, such as increased requirements for identity verification and transaction monitoring.
  3. Implications for Anonymity: By collecting and potentially sharing this information, BitPay undermines the anonymity that is often sought by users of cryptocurrencies. Transactions processed through BitPay can be traced back to individual users, and the collected data can be accessed by various entities, including law enforcement agencies.

Admittedly, I haven't witnessed anyone in the Monero community promoting Bitpay, especially since Bitpay does NOT accept Monero payments directly, but if you find yourself in a situation where you need to use Monero, rather than fiat, to pay for a big one-time expense, you're considering swapping into a coin that will enable that transaction.

In summary, while BitPay provides a convenient way to use cryptocurrencies for transactions, it significantly compromises financial anonymity due to its compliance with stringent US regulations and its practices of data collection and sharing.

My own assessment of the OPSEC compromises required to complete this transaction is that it's not worth it. I MUST accept that I will NOT be able to spend my Monero until the retailers selling what I want to buy accept Monero natively. Until then, happy HODL'ing.

Has anyone ever purchased precious metals from Veldt Gold? They are listed on Monerica, but do not have a phone number to call and require a minimum of $1500 purchase to buy anything from them. That would be an expensive mistake if it were a scam, but I'd be more confident if I was able to read some reviews of this seller.

Not looking to create any accounts, give email address out or any of that nonsense. Looking for something like StealthEX or even on-chain if it exists yet.

An American Penny with its "9" in the date filled. This is an error coin, likely a fairly common one. Here's the monermarket listing

The attached chart indicates that in times of great uncertainty, the market rushes INTO Monero for safety. That rush to safety in both the Crypto Crash and Covid was before all the talk of CBDC's. With the loss of privacy associated with CBDC's in today's environment, one might expect even more incentive to rush into a privacy crypto and or precious metals.

This increased incentive, countered by the reduction in liquidity by the delisting of XMR should result in a somewhat muted rise when banks fail and they're on the verge of introducing CBDC's as a replacement of the US Dollar. Incentives will be at an extreme, yet liquidity will be greatly reduced, dampening the sharpness and upper limits of peak during the heights of uncertainty.

My takeaway is that it may not go as high after a crash and you'll probably have more time to sell before it corrects, but time will tell all.

Doug mentioned that Travala might accept Monero, but after visiting site, it appears that XMR is NOT on the list of eligible payments on the flight search page. I appears there may be XMR acceptance for Hotel, but I was looking for one travel agent that could handle multiple hotels, in multiple destination trip for flights, rental cars, hotels. I'm interested in anyone who finds one that does.

Is there any efforts or movements underway to solicit Elon Musk to begin to accept Monero as payment for internet services? What an advantage to just accepting Monero and not accepting the risk of fiat currencies.

It looks like Joe has created a website inside his ecosystem that duplicates much of what is on Monerica as a part of a test.
