Gauging interest in making a community (here on monero.town) where sellers would be able to post their seller profiles, including:

  • a min/max amount of xmr they have for sale
  • any payment methods, currencies, or coins they accept
  • communication methods they accept
  • links to accounts on other sites with feedback, and any verification they choose to include

No escrow (unless buyer/seller want to arrange it). Buyers could post reviews on the seller threads.

It would allow buyers and sellers to have a place to find each other, along with all the information they need to make successful trades with established sellers. Buyers and sellers could complete transactions any way they see fit.

    1 condition from my side: Don’t ever talk about what you are going to use the Monero for or where you’ve gotten it from, otherwise I’ll have to ban you from here.

    I’m so fucking down man. I have thought about selling some of my monero and didn’t want to go through a centralized exchange which can hold your funds on their whim.

      Thats what Haveno is for. If it did occur, then you would have to be really small amounts because of no escrow anyway.

    asking for trouble… why not go p2p with i2p or retroshare?

    As someone already mentioned, try https://retroshare.cc

    It is fully decentralized community software with forums, chat, BBS, and file sharing. It is too risky here as they might claim this site is conspiring to transmit money without communist permission.

      I made a retroshare board/chat with a daily trade thread. If anyone is interested check it out and share:

      Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I’m close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says “Tor status: offline”. But I’m not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to change it.

        Retroshare has its own built in tor instance, you do not need to run it on tails. Retroshare needs to create an onion address because it needs incoming connections so it may by conflicting with tails.

        Just run it on a normal OS and select (Hidden Node over Tor) and it will take care of everything for you.

    Personally, I am somewhat against this, primarily because I do not want to have this site exposed to legal liability as facilitating money transmission, when Haveno is set to do that job as a decentralized exchange that cannot be taken offline.
