Nope. I like you a lot homie, but it's just wrong to advertise Monero with illegal stuff. Tusker got it right, you want the king for money laundering, drugs and weapons? Forget about Monero, look at the USD. We should work towards agorism and constructive ends and not fall for this stuff.

I disagree, but I got my point across I guess. What do scammers with bad english have to do with it I didn't understand.

I've been seeing more and more evident hit pieces on XMR on social media, starting with the article by Greydinamics on May 17th, but just look closely at the memes and comments coming up on social media, "Monero, invest in underground crime" and other stupid shit like that...

I strongly disagree with advertising or using xmr illegally. Of course you can use any of the following for terrorism, crime, drugs, etc: your car, the internet, your computer, a screwdriver, your phone, banks, cash and so on... But that doesn't mean that's the main use, and advertising any of the stuff just mentioned as "only used by" or "intended for" criminals is beyond stupid. This is what 1984 sytle regimes use to brainwash sheep and use its people as unknowing, unpaid agents that act on behalf of these institutions.

This is an invitation to anyone who uses Monero for freedom to fight against this (likely agency or institutional) campaign promoting XMR as a tax evasive, terrorist, drug inducing coin. They're playing us, don't fall for it, Monero can be and is used for buying legal items, living a moral life. It's just sovereign money, that's all.

Who the hell downvotes posts like these? Some people are just miserable. I don't remember it but looked it up, seems cool

CEXs are important for the xmr ecosystem. The least fees, quick and convenient. They should be avoided if possible, but in reality, it's not very possible.

You can do all kinds of mental gymnastics on why bitcoin is the one and only coin, and it will probably go up in value because banks are adopting it. However I decline to have anything to do with that surveillance coin, it strayed far from its roots.

Added them mate! One question, I've used moneromarket but never xmrbazaar, it prompts me to sign in, where does one make an account, to add that to my site?

Probably a good idea, thank you, I wanted it to be minimalistic, not too much information, but I might divide it at the bottom and place those places to spend. I will also definitely add those to my homepage, with all the other tools. Thanks again.

Absolutely will do! Thank you, that's why I published here.

Misspelled phishing domains are very real. Thanks for the reminder to triple check every time.

I understand this. Tradeogre also has cloudflare I think. I think 50% of the task of staying private is made by the website, and 50% by the user.

I see around 5 or 10 posts a day on "How do I get Monero now that Localmonero is gone?", I thought I might add to my website a very simple guide that's easy to read and follow. I'll leave it out there in case you find it useful. Plus check out the rest of the site, it's really simple, but I wanted to make a sort of repository for free or mostly free tools to guide newcomers to the privacy space, not only Monero. You might already know most of the tools, but it's intended for beginners. Any pointers on how to improve it welcome!

Coinsbee is another very good site for gift cards, they accept XMR.

I've witnessed accounts first bashing Majestic Bank, then a few weeks later saying "I just lost hundreds of dollars in an exchange there, I got scammed". I'm refering to localnoderunner, but there are many on Twitter, and some more on Dread I've witnessed are in this behavior. Who is behind these accounts? I'll tell you who gets hurt, the Monero user.

Also, someone posted about Majestic in this forum and a day later you get an article with mostly speculative criticism. Someone is being paid to divide the community. Keep your eyes open.
